Customer Reviews Columbia Big & Tall Bahama™ II Long Sleeve Shirt

I put this shirt on this morning for the first time and love it. I will have more of these and in short sleeve as well. Fantastic shirt....

The shirt comes out of the washing machine ready to wear. My husband loves this shirt. It is cool, comfortable and easy to take care of.

I am 6"4" so I completely appreciate the fact that Columbia is making tall sizes. I would say to I like my shirts to be a little baggy, so normally I would be a 2X but I order their shirts in 3X, just feels better. These shirts are perfect for international travel where you might need to do a little laundry in the hotel sink. They of course are perfect for warmer climates where you want something that will not stick to you. The South during the summer is what I am talking about.

Although I don't fish, this shirt is absolutely perfect if you are spending a lot of time in the sun and want to stay cool, yet protected from direct exposure to UV rays. I bought them for use on my boat - and whether underway or inport, it's the first thing I reach for when I'm going to be outside for any length of time! And it's nice looking for a casual dinner out - can't beat it.

I have no less than 24 of these shirts hanging in my closet. The ventilation of the Bahama II allows me to wear the long sleeve version of this shirt on the hottest of days, all the while protecting me from the suns harmful rays. I have covered professional bass fishing as a professional photographer for the last four years. We fish in some of the hottest places in North America, I know, even when the heat is on, I can always keep my cool in the quick drying Bahama II, and that is not the best part! With Columbia's Omni-Shade technology, I am protected from that blazing sun day after day. A fact my dermatologist approves of every time I stop by for an appointment!

good, comfortable size, lightweight, not sticky, dries quickly, looks good, many uses, lots of flexibility for different needs.

At 6'7" tall and 265lbs, proper fit is a huge factor when I buy shirts. The Bahama II Long Sleeve Shirt in XXTall is the perfect fit. The tail stays tucked-in, the sleeves are long enough, and I can even wear a base layer under in Fall

Only complaint I would have is how see through the white shirt is. Other than that its great.

Good product because it looks good, feels good, and is made well. The only negative is that it doesn't wash well. It needs to be ironed.

I wear these shirts every day and love how comfortable they are. Not to mention they look great.

Comfortable, good looking, back vents for hot weather.

I moved up to 3x. This is basically the only option. I like the colors, Red, White and the darker grey. Basically the best color options I have found in ages. I would like button down breast pockets. They aren't available. The collar buttons down. I like that. The sleeves roll up with loops. That is great. Bonus pockets on the breast pockets are unnecessary. Gussets on pockets are unnecessary. I own about 30 Columbia Long Sleeve technical shirts in a couple of different styles.

Cool Gray shirt was much lighter than in the picture

Nice shirt. A bit warmer than I'd like and not very good at wicking the moisture away. Definitely made for cooler weather. A bit wrinkly even getting it from the dryer right after the cycle ends. Runs large - definitely get a size smaller than you normally buy.

I've had this shirt for a few years now, I don't fish any longer but wear it for other activities. I like the look and durability of the shirt, but find it too hot to wear if it's sunny or humid. The material just doesn't breathe, and the vented back doesn't seem to provide any help. However, YMMV.

This is a VERY, very well thought-out shirt of men who enjoy outdoor activity. Lots of pockets, with flaps and gussets to contain contents and fit needed items. The fabric is robust, color is bright red and happy! I especially like the interior mesh and rear venting panel. I ordered the 'Tall' version and it fits me very well. The sleeves are long enough and the loop for roll-up wear is in a good location. Well done Columbia!

I am outside all day in sunny Florida. The shirt is great and keeps me cool!

I like this because it's the color of the shirt and it was the only one available. I'm out in the sun sometimes for work and it's also a big help.

Nice product but runs small as compared to the fit guide. I wear a 17/37 but the large tall was small and the extra large tall is a borderline fit.

Nice shirt - beautiful color. Although I checked Columbia's sizing guide, and actually measured myself with a seamstress tape measure - the shirt was like a tent! Definitely runs a size large! I like clothing to fit loose but I can fit two people in this!

I had to get the LT size because I needed the additional length in the sleeves, but the body is a bit too baggy. I wish Columbia would make a Medium Tall. I'm not THAT skinny, so I'm sure many taller people would appreciate it too. Also, I wish they wouldn't retire colors for the season. I wanted the Bright Peach color, but was told they retired that color until next spring. I got the Key West instead, and am happy with that as well. Other than my wish list items, I'm very pleased. The shirt was delivered on time and customer service was excellent.

Very comfortable, and if it wears & washes like my other Columbia shirts, I'll be totally happy.

A fishing shirt is to keep cool & keep the sun off the skin I had to have 3 inches added to the sleeves ($20) of a TALL shirt. That being said the rest of the shirt is great.

The XLT shirt fits good for someone with long arms like me. Nice material and fairly cool to wear. I would like to see more choice of colors and maybe more shirt models with smaller pockets.

I ordered too small for my husband should have ordered 3x, the shirt took a week and a 1/2 to get here. Looks nicely sewn, thin fabric but I like it has a little give/stretch to it and it is a really nice looking shirt. I thought I ordered yellow though. Looks orange on this pic though. I will need to send back for exchange in size.
