Customer Reviews Columbia PFG Tidal Deflector™ Long Sleeve

I find the shirt a bit large which is good for hot weather air flow. It seems to protect well from UV. I have washed it a couple times and no shrinkage or loss of function. Sure beats greasing up.

I love this top. I haven't worn it much yet. I bought it because it's important to keep my arms protected from the sun and I'm headed to PA in a week. On these hot sunny days it's hard to have on a long sleeve shirt. It's silky smooth and soft on my body. It's a sharp looking top too.

Excellent product. Love the colors. Durable and great for a very fair skinned daughter. Perfect for on the board.

I wore this shirt kayaking on a sunny day in Michigan and it was perfect. It covered me from the sun while keeping me from getting too hot.

I'm an avid hiker and always worry about protecting my skin from the sun and not overheating. This is it. It's slightly long by in the arms which help protect my hands from the sun. Perfect!

I love the color and fit of this shirt. I was surprised to see it almost had a plasticky look to it. That being said that appearance is due to the reflective nature of the shirt which works great! I'm 5'8" and 138lbs. The small is the perfect fit.

I love the comfort and reflective technology !! Want all the different colors...am waiting for them all on sale.

I bought a couple of these for a camping trip in the Oregon high desert. They performed extremely well in the 95 degree heat! I was very impressed and happy to not have to bathe in sunscreen. I even got one wet in the river one day, and it had a nice cooling effect as the day went on. Would definitely recommend!

I love this shirt!! I am so happy that I bought it.. The colors are very vibrant reflects the suns so well..

Product is definitely worth it. Love the fit and neck doesn't choke you. Usually I like v-necks but this is fine.

I bought this shirt to wear at the Indy 500 knowing it would be hot and humid. It was wonderful. Not only did I not get sunburned but it also kept me cooler. I then decided to try it for golf in the hot sun. Wow!!! It really helps keep you cooler and I don't get sunburned. I bought two now so I can alternate when I play. Great product.

Wow! Ordered this shirt and didn't realize how pretty it was until it arrived at my door. The shirt simmers depending on the light and really helps you stay cool and protected. Living at high altitude, sun protection is a must! This shirt helps you do that while also providing style and of course, a fabulous hood as well! Want to buy another and get one for my mom!

I wore this shirt on a hike on a sunny summer day, and it kept me from getting sunburned and I felt cooler than wearing a cotton tee, because the fabric really does wick away the sweat! I plan to use it in the pool to keep from getting sunburned.

Best shirt for the South Carolina beaches and for any outdoor activity. it keeps you cool and protects you from the sun.

This shirt is even more attractive in person! The fabric is super soft and it has a slight shimmer that does not show in online photos. The shimmer is part of the reflective nature and does not take away from the look, in fact you can only see it at certain angles. I ordered a size larger so it would be loose. They have board shirts that look like they will match so I'm getting those too.

I have not worn this shirt in extreme heat yet, but on the day's I have worn it, it has done it's job! One of my new favorite summer fishing shirts. I recently wore it hiking and it kept me cool as the sun was shining right on us. The fact that it's cute is an extra bonus! I purchased a medium and probably could have gotten a small but I don't like my clothes too tight. For reference, I am 5'6 and 130#. I am generally on the border between small and medium in Columbia gear.

I was surprised to see that the shirt had a shiny look. I wasn't sure what I thought about that but I tried it out on a bike ride and was happy to find that it actually did allow airflow and it also deflected the sun. Good quality shirt. I bought the hyper blue fade and I love the color.

Just wore this hiking in sunny Zion, Bryce and North Rim. Felt cool and dry the whole time and looked great at the same time. So much cooler than wearing only a tank and no worry about the high altitude sun. Highly recommend! Fits true to size (I am a size 10...Medium was perfect)

Hyperblue Fade pairs will with Tidal Legging in Hyperblue Fishscale. Medium fits 36A.

Love this shirt! Great sun protection! Wicks and Breathes! After years of sweating off the sunscreen, this is a welcome addition to my outdoor wardrobe! Highly recommend it to anyone trying to protect their skin from sun damage. Launders easy and that is a real plus!

Cool shirt with lots of shine appeal.

I'm so happy they restocked this shirt! I saw this shirt a little too late last summer as my size was all sold out, but so happy to see it again and with more colors! I ordered this for a trip to the beach in Florida and it saved me and my skin from being sunburned. I wore it to the beach almost everyday and got tons of compliments on it. I swam in it, dug in the sand in it, and played volleyball in it. I was surprised how cool I stayed while being in a long sleeve shirt in the southern Florida sun. I wouldn't say it really runs bigger, it's just meant to fit more loose. I ordered a small and it's just a tad looser than I would prefer. If you're in between sizes (or don't want a loose fit) go a size down. The "shimmery" affect that I saw mentioned is only because of the tiny white dots all over the shirt that reflect the sun. It only appears "shimmery" at certain angles in the sun.

I am a Columbia girl all they way. I have just recently rejoined the Columbia family of believers. Have ordered A LOT of items online from last fall until now. Sizing chart is perfect, have not had to return one item for miss sizing. Love all my new stuff.

Wife loves this shirt! She also got the leggings to match. It's perfect out on the water, especially to keep from getting too much sun. Shirt runs true to size and great material.

I'm 5'5 130 pounds and I ordered a small. It actually fit me a little loose...I'm sure the xs would of fit better. But overall the shirt does the job. I have vitiligo so my skin is very sensitive to the sun so I'm always trying to find ways to cover up but still stay cool in these hot temperatures. I go on hikes everyday and this shirt keeps me protected from the sun as well as cool while I sweat. Overall it was a great purchase.
