Customer Reviews Columbia Bahama™ L/S Shirt

I absolutely love the cool comfort of these PFG shirts. Although I don't fish, I like the extra pockets for storage and the way you can roll up the sleeves and keep them up. They are also very cool in the hot sun and come in great colors. I now have 3 of them and will be on the hunt for a few more. I have to buy a size up as they are narrow through the bust so if you have C/D plus, then just go up a size.

I purchased 2 shirts, both white. I am 5'7" and weigh between 129-132. I avoid size small on button ups, as I have a 32DD bust, and shirts can pull. I chose medium, and it is perfect for me. The fit in all ways, length, roominess, flattering fit, etc., is like the one on the model. There are 2 other brands I purchase for sun protection, one is rated 100+ ...but the items are exceptionally expensive. The fit on their shirts isn't as flattering, nor are the sleeves long enough. Columbia sun shirts are perfection, and my favorite. I love these shirts with skinny jeans or slim beach pants. You could even get away with leggings for weekend casual, as the shirt is long enough in the back. This is roomy enough to be able to layer a cami or short sleeve blouse underneath. I off and on use these as coverups, taking them off once I get inside where I'm going, a less sun protective top underneath. These are lightweight, but not flimsy. So very well made, well finished, and they paid incredible attention to detail. They are so soft and comfortable next to your skin. I use these for daily wear, and also for walking on the beach (before 9am and after 5pm) and forest walking trails. I was exceptionally lucky to find these on sale. I love shopping on Zappos!! I've never received used and returned items as is becomming a very frequent experience with the most popular online shopping site. For me, Zappos is one of the most trustworthy online ways to shop. Always quality merchandise and quality customer service.

The fit is nice and the feel of the nylon fabric is great. So much nicer than anything with polyester in it, which always feels hot and greasy, no matter what they tell you about "wicking." I stick with nylon. I'm a professional outdoor guide, and I will stick with these shirts.

I have many Columbia shirts and just ordered this style in the clear blue color. I like my shirts with some roominess and I also like them longer in length and this shirt really fits the bill! Most of the other Columbia Women's shirts I have are nice but just not long enough, at least for me. For reference, I am 5'7" and weigh about 148 pounds. I read other reviews which said that the shirt ran quite large. I was unsure whether to size down to a medium and I'm glad I didn't and went with the large. Definitely my favorite women's shirt in terms of what I want in the way it fits and looks.

I bought this for work and it's very comfortable and functional. The pockets are good sized and there's an sunglass/eyeglass holder which is a really cool feature as it frees up a pocket for something else. The sleeves roll up and can be secured with a button which is great for hot days. I think it runs a little on the large size, I ordered a medium and the fit is great for me. I'm 5'6" about 150lbs Hope this helps.

My entire summer wardrobe consists of these Bahama long sleeve shirts in a variety of beautiful colors. I live at 9000 feet and they offer great protection from the UV rays. They moisture wick and keep you cool. These shirts still look great after frequent washings - and they dry fast. I'm a 44C and the XL is perfect...a little loose, but great for unencumbered movement.

My gf owns two of these shirts and likes them so much she requested a third in a specific color. She loves the cooling vents and the loose, comfortable cut. She wears them for several outdoor activities besides fishing.

I am 5' 8", size 14 on top, 16 on bottom. LOVE the XL fit in the Women's Bahama LS. The Bahama is specifically designed to fit a bit more generously (so all those who complain it's too big in the waist should definitely explore some of Columbia's more figure-conscious styles) and with the XL, I can have a "boyfriend" style fit that isn't snug around my tummy and is long enough to hang long on my hips. And it *doesn't cling* like so many women's styles today! Because it's so well designed, it's cool enough so I can wear it to garden in during the morning, and still be presentable enough to run errands later in the day. I like that it has an honest-to-goodness button down collar. (I am 58.) I like the long sleeves so when I do dress for summer, but I go into an air-conditioned space, I'm not freezing. Seriously, I have worn this to an all-day July 4th picnic in El Paso, and it kept me very comfortable, while still providing SPF 50 from the sun. Only suggestion I would make to Columbia is they could possible offer one or two fewer 'blues' and add a few more pinks and reds and corals, etc. to the color selections. Thanks!

I have this particular shirt in every color, and I live in them all spring and summer. As an equestrian I love the pockets - two pockets big enough for my phone and horse treats. I can roll up the sleeves or have them down, easy to layer a vest over, keeps me cool and dry. Highly recommend!

Great hiking shirt for sun protection with good breath-ability and a flattering cut. A big plus for me is that, at least for the Faded Peach color, you don't need to wear a bra with this shirt if you don't want to! I'm 5'5" and 120 lbs, and I normally wear a S or M (or size 4), but an XS fit perfectly. Definitely size down one or even two sizes if in doubt.

Comfortable, beautiful colors, lots of pockets, Great!

GREAT AS ALWAYS, WOULD LOVE SOME PRINT MATERIAL IN THIS STYLE AS I HAVE ALL THE COLORS.

I absolutely love these shirts. For reference I'm 74 years old 5' 4" 135 pounds (my waist is not small) and the small fits very well. I recently ordered a medium, which I haven't received yet, for a looser fit I would love to have this same fit shirt offered in the cooler material. Of all the styles of Columbia sun protection shirts I've bought the Bahama is my favorite.

My husband has several of these shirts so I finally tried one for myself & love it. I like the fit in the sleeve length & through the shoulders with a relaxed fit in the hip area. I'm 5'6" & 120 lbs & the Medium is a perfect fit. I know from his shirts that they wash & dry well. Can be worn almost year round.

Love the color, style, fit and quality! Saw this at Macys and it was $15 more

Excellent shirt! I bought this in white to replace a similar Columbia shirt that must be 20 years old. As a fair-skinned person, I need light-weight overshirts that I can wear over tanks or T shirts when working or playing outside. They need to have decent SPF coverage and a couple of secure pockets. This shirt fits those requirements. I am between a small and a medium in shirts, depending on the style and use. A small in this shirt is roomy enough to fit over other shirts, but not overly large. Buttons are a little tight, but I imagine that will change with wear. One advantage of these shirts is that they are meant to get wet and air-dry very quickly, making them a good choice for travel or for outdoor sports in or around water.

I purchased this shirt to ride my bike in the Houston sun and heat. It is perfect. I have no sunburn after riding in full sun. It is very airy, and quick dry. If I get hot, I put water on the shirt and it cools me as I ride. I gave it a 4 in style because I think it needs a round hem line! It runs true to size.

Comfortable, fits well, keeps sun off while not making me feel too hot.

I have 5 of these shirts in different colors and I love them all, the comfort is unbeatable!

I reordered this shirt because I was so impressed with the material, wash & wear and you can wear it fishing or out to dinner with jeans.

I have bought this shirt for a bathing suit cover up and it's gonna work just perfect.

This is my second Columbia PFG. My 1st one is at least 7 years old and still looks and wares wonderfully. I never use the dry hang and go! Love this shirt

Great for breezy boat days. Keeps you covered from the sun and from being chilly.

I am obsessed with this color!! I have never owned the womans sized shirts before. I wasnt sure how to order the size I wanted as I like them to be over-sized as well. xl was waaaay too big for even over sized. I am 155lbs 5'5"

Love the color. Super fresh and looks so good. Beautiful details in the pockets
