Customer Reviews Columbia PFG Terminal Deflector™ Long Sleeve Shirt

Just bought one of these reflective shirts for golf in Florida. I hate sunscreen lotions so always wear long sleeves even in 80 degree temps. I thought I'd try one of these high tech shirts. I love it. It really keeps me cool while getting positive remarks Fromm fellow golfers about how good it looks.

Been a huge fan of Columbia for years, but when I heard of their Solar Deflector technology, I had to get one on faith alone. I was not disappointed. Lightweight, breathable, and more than able to beat back the strong sun. Definitely getting more!

He loves this shirt, it's lightweight and breathable. He wears it fishing and working around the yard. It's a barely there shirt that protects him from the hot summer sun.

Relic hunting in the hot sun this shirt has provided excellent protection from the sun along with providing excellent ventilation.

Nice fit with nice long sleeves. Could be a first layer or outer layer when the weather warms up.

Purchased three years ago. I now raise the rating from four to five stars. I was concerned with durability at first. Keeping it away from velcro and it is wears just fine. This fabric is exceptionally breathable and makes you feel cooler in strong, hot sun. I wear it mostly for cycling and hiking in summer. I still find the word "Columbia PFG" running down he length of the left sleeve as obnoxious advertisement (they should pay me) and counter productive to the function of the base fabric.

Shirt fits as expected from Columbia; Quality is stellar as usual for Columbia.

Looking forward to using this shirt in warm weather to see if it really does feel cooling Material does not wrinkle, has a nice feel

Great sun protection for my husband as he mows our yard. He will use for fishing also. Really like the weight and color of the shirt (light gray). Very comfortable to wear in our hot southern summers

This shirt is great. It's lightweight and loose with sleeves that come barely onto the base of my hands to protect my wrists. The bottom is long enough that it still covers my back when I bend over. I don't know if the tiny shiny silver dots make a difference, but the shirt helps in the sun. Those dots do make the shirt look rather shimmery from a distance, but that doesn't bother me because it works. I really notice that I'm not feeling the hot sun on my skin. I didn't realize how much the sun hitting my skin made me feel hot. Surprisingly, I can feel the breeze blowing through the fabric, which helps dry (and cool) my skin. And when it does get wet it dries quickly. I won't say I don't sweat in it, here in the Alabama heat, and I won't say I'm cool when I wear it, but it's the very best thing I've found to reduce the effect of the sun. BTW, after we wash it we hang it out to dry. We don't use the dryer. I highly recommend it as one of your tools to beat the sun.

Great product, fin perfectly and good quality. Tks

So incredibly comfortable! The quality is amazing and for such a great price!

A great shirt anytime you're in the Florida sun. I wear it at the beach when I need a break from the sun or on my kayak when on the springs. Never feel hot and sweaty in it- does a great job at wicking moisture and reflecting the rays

I wore in direct sunlight for hours. Usually do not hang in the sun. It cut the intensity dramatically. I bought one for everyday of the week. Now I wear for just everyday comfort. I was shocked at how effective it is. Super light.. it is not heavy by any stretch... It takes the intense bite out of the sun. I don't impress easy and I take sun exposure very seriously.. I work in the sun. It does run a little large. I wear XL and It was too big. The large fits with some room.

I live in the very hot and humid south. Have worn this shirt on an all day bike/sightseeing trip and never got hot or sunburned. The fabric is very light and is great venting the heat off. It is shiny but that is what helps keep me cool. Will buy more. My wife has several of these and I have two of the short sleeved version.

I mow a cemetery on the hottest of days and this shirt brings me relief from the heat. I swear it's 10 degrees cooler outside with this on. It not only shields from the sun's rays, it makes the breeze cooler. It changes sweltering to comfortable. Ahhhhh. Buy this shirt!

As a fishing guide in South Carolina, I need clothing that is comfortable in hot and humid conditions. These shirts have a sheen to the fabric and I had mixed emotions when I first looked at the material. The first day out in the sun erased any doubts that I had about the fabric. These are by far the coolest shirts that Columbia has offered to date

This shirt fits as should and is very comfortable. I would reccomend that anyone that is thinking about buying this shirt to buy it and you will not be disappointed

I have always been a fan of the terminal tackle shirt and hoodie. The new deflector technology helps to keep you feeling cool and protected. The fit is identical to the terminal tackle, but the new look takes it a step further. Anyone looking for protection from the heat and sun should invest in this technology!

Excellent product! Fits true to size. My husband has skin cancer and we both feel hes protected with this product.

Excellent product! Fits perfectly. Bought for skin cancer protection. Feel more confident in sun with this product.

Seems to keep you cooler than normal shirts. Only complaints are lack of variety of colors and the big logo on the sleeve. The dots are indeed shiny but if they do their job im not concerned.

Taking advantage of the sale that was offered and shipping included this was a perfect time to stock up on my sun gear for the summer ahead new color option is awesome growing collection in my closet washing drying is great on the trail compact material perfect got backpack dont wait

It's been a week and I'm still not sure. The quality never flags and this Columbia shirt, fits, flows and hangs like the other PFG shirts I own. It's the color and the texture that's crossed me up. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of reflectorized dots baked into the fabric and it makes it look shiny. Real shiny, like it's wet. I understand that this is the way the fabric works and the way it keeps the wearer cool, but it takes some getting used to. And I'm still doing just that.
