Columbia Women's Bahama Long Sleeve

Currently, I'm more of an "outdoorsy" person since I like to get drunk on patios, but I hope to become more outdoorsy in the future. For three months, I didn't wear it, but then I wore it when I went kayaking and worked on my aunt's farm, as well as hiking in the Olympic Mountains. There are big gaps in the cloth, but I don't understand why you would wear a form-fitting garment in the first place This shirt fits like a glove for hiking or kayaking. Aside from being quite attractive, I'm impressed by the quality of construction. I love the rubbery buttons that It was refreshing not to feel wet when kayaking in it, because little splashes dried up or ran off so quickly that I did not Especially with this white shirt, the vent at the back is amazing and really helps you feel cool. As soon as I finished kayaking, I wore it while I picked and washed It was a FAILURE on my part. So much so that my aunt felt bad about me wearing my new shirt and offered to replace it because she worried that I might have Besides, it's for outdoor use anyway, so I don't care if it's stained. I will still appear more authentic, like I have worn it multiple times. As a result of washing it, it came out 100% clean, not a trace of the dirt or juices left behind by beets and chard. After I took it hiking a couple of weeks later, I wore it once again. As long as it kept me cool and dry I was fine on the lower part of the climb, and I brought along my phone (GS 7, not the explodey one), a little cash, and my I. D. I did not have to put anything in a backpack since the pockets held my keys and wallet. My favorite feature about the pockets is how well they close. Under one of the pockets, there is an attachment loop that can be used with a carabiner, but I did not really need anything hanging off my bob. After unrolling the sleeves and buttoning them up, I layered it under my windbreaker - it was cold, windy and I was extremely cold. As I sweated into the shirt, I found it very comforting not to be cold or wet on the climb. You can use it for so many different things. Now I understand why some dudes wear fishing shirts to work, they usually are.

As loose and full as the shirt is, I did not anticipate it to be. You should feel air circulating around your body as you do this. This fabric was so dense, tightly woven that I had not expected it to be this heavy. It was supposed to provide sun protection with an SPF 50 rating, but I was looking for a lightweight, breathable top. Even wearing it within my home (68 degrees), it was very hot and I don't know if I would find it comfortable in Northern Arizona's summer heat. Despite its weight, the Tamiami II from Columbia feels more breathable and lighter compared to the Tahari. This shirt also has the loose fit I expect from this type, and the lightweight fabric should keep me cooler and more breathable, but its limited sun protection actually means I will probably end up wearing sunscreen under it if I'm out for longer than I expect. That's a compromise I'm willing to make given that I have a medical condition that prevents me from properly coping with heat. It's not the right one for me, but it's a great choice if you're more interested in the full sun protection and you don't care about overheating. I just aren't a fan of the Bahama II. I am also trying the ExOfficio Sol Cool tops that are available on Amazon. The fact that they have SPF 50 and actually seem to cool my body is impressive. It can be hard to find the right balance between not overheating and avoiding more skin cancers.

The spring of this year, I was treated for a small skin cancer as well as several A dermatologist has told me to wear hats, sunscreen, and clothes that protect me from the sun. I am proud to be an ambassador for Columbia With a Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation, Shade UPF 30 is a sunscreen you can trust. It is easier to put on sunscreen in the morning and not have to reapply it every two hours on the parts of my shirt that are exposed. This shirt has two pockets that can be secured by Depending on your preference, the sleeves can be worn long with buttoned cuffs, or rolled up like seen here. You can easily wash it and it dries fast. The book has a much better design than most Vents on the back were appreciated. If I was only going to wear it buttoned up without any other pieces, I'd consider the shirt too large. The shirt is still a layering piece I'll throw on when I'm outdoors, either over tank tops or tee shirts in the summer, or over a warm turtleneck In addition to fitting my lifestyle perfectly, this shirt is exactly what I have been looking for years. The two colors I have so far (Collegiate Navy and Isla) are both extremely pleasing to the eye, and I would get every color if I could. The beige Joseni hat you see in the picture is the Joseni hat.
