Customer Reviews Columbia PFG Tidal Deflector™ Long Sleeve

These shirts are even better than the other PFG shirts! They fit nicer than the other PFG shirts I have in the same size just the solid colors. These colors are amazing so I had to get more than 2 different colors!

I really like this shirt and the color is just beautiful. The only drawbacks are that you cannot push the sleeves up - which I guess is the whole point since it's supposed to work as sunblock; and the material isn't the most "breathable", so you get hot. Still, super cute and did it's job!

The shirt is made of a slippery shiny material that probably does it's job of sun protection very well. I sent it back because of the massive Columbia Pfg lettering the length of the left sleeve. I don't want to be a walking billboard.

Shirt is fine, but the fabric is very shiny. It's not something I would wear in public. Fine for my needs, though.

This shirt seems well made but wasn't for me. The sun reflector aspect is a good idea and would be nicely suited for a long day on a boat with no shade. For my needs, sun protection while hiking, the shirt was too thick. One last thing, the color is not as depicted in the photo the shirt is much more sparkly than it shows. When I tried it on I felt a little like a mermaid. I'm sure that is how it reflects the sun.

Very reflective, resulting in a shimmery look that I had not fully expected.

It was a surprise when this shirt was shiny. Kind of a plastic dots grid. Shine May not be the best strategy for blending into the environment while fishing. The plastic may not breath as well as other non-plastic materials. But an advantage seems to have appeared in confusing mosquitoes. I'll keep wearing the shirts while fishing.

Very light weight shirt that does not seem to hold odor like some material does. No magical cooling effects however, but as cool or cooler than a t- shirt. One of my favorites.

Based on other reviews, I sized down for a less baggy fit. (I usually wear a medium and ordered a small). It's still a bit loose, but looks almost like the picture of the model, which is what I was going for. My fiance has several of the men's version of this and loves them, so I decided to try it out! It's lightweight and SOOO comfy! The pattern is a little weird and shiny, but I decided to keep it anyway.

Beautiful shirt, fabric and colors, but definitely runs oversize. I have several PFG long sleeve shirts, and always get a perfect fit with a Size Small. This Small shirt is definitely a Medium, or more. Clearly the sizing is off. Definitely size down if a closer fit, not a very baggy fit, is desired.

Lov the color and weight of fabric. The only downer for me is that the sleeves are little tighter fit on the arms than I would like.

Nice material, arms are a little long for me so I must roll them up.

Love the colors and how well it works as sunblock. Fit was exactly to size. I do wish it wasn't as shiney in person, but im not a person for bling so that's just oersonal preferance.

Colors are great on the red lily gradient. These shirts have comfortable and breathable fabric that still can take away the night time chill with long sleeves. True to size. I wear a 12 in women's blazers and a large fits nice. Not too big or too small.

Really nice shirt. Haven't worn yet but the fit and feel are both great! The lettering on the arm is something I might have to get use to.

Great fit, light and airy - comfortable shirt. Can't verify the UV part, but looking forward to giving it a try.

I live in the desert and need shirts to protect me from the sun. While the fabric in the shirt does not breath as much as Cottin it fits very well and looks attractive.

Wife and mother-in-law loves the shirt. They wish is was a little stretchy. Keeps you cool very well. Very stylish and well fitted.

Bought this shirt for a tropical trip to help with the extra sun exposure while out on the water. Very comfortable and breathes well. Also love the colors

love the color fade that makes this shirt fun. wont get more since im not fond of the giant logo---TOO BIG! Detracts from the shirt IMO

I love this shirt so much I ended up buying more (and the men's equivalent for my husband). It fits great (the sleeves are long enough for my long arms! Columbia is one of the only brands that accommodates long limbs well) and is perfect for working out in the gym in the winter and hiking in the fall / spring. I'll also use it in the summer a lot, I'm sure. It breathes really well and does a pretty good job not retaining odors. Would recommend!

The material is really odd. It is thin but so shiny and doesnt seem to breathe well. The fit is also way off. It is like a balloon. Super unflattering and I was unaware of the large Columbia on the arm. Im not interested in being a billboard.

These shirts actually work...reflect the sun and keep you cool.

These are nice shirts but your logos placed on the arm is HUGE. I hate it. It's like wearing a billboard for you. Get rid of the arm logos please from all your merchandise.

Good shirt for sun sensitivity, but I don't like shiny material and fabric care restrictions. Interior is fabric wicking so it's not too hot. Wish it didn't have Colombia logo. I feel like an advertisement.
