I've worn it in the Philippines in June, Turkey in July, Italy in August, Mexico in summer, NJ in July at 95 degrees in direct sunlight, Kyoto, Tokyo both in July with high humidity, Bermuda in July, and Maui two years ago when they had the hottest September on record. When it's 100 degrees in a resort in the Philippines, I go in the water with it to avoid getting fried; it dries on me and cools. Mine is slouchy. br>I'm not one to brag, but I wanted to tell you about every situation I've been in. I rinse them in the hotel room, hang them in the bathroom, and they are completely dry by the morning. br>Using a dryer, they come out almost wrinkle-free. Mine hasn't been ironed in a long time. I have six short-sleeved and six long-sleeved shirts in my collection. Some of the shirts I have are ten years old and a little soft, but they're still suitable for daytime wear. Who cares if you're sweating your face and butt off?
The small black is what I use.

It has a big footprint. I normally wear large shirts, but I ordered a medium because it appeared to be a little larger. The medium size is excessively large.
It is not a dark blue, but rather a dark blue.
Selected User Reviews For Columbia Men's Bahama Ii Short Sleeve Shirt
Columbia PFG shirts are meant to be a LITTLE roomy on you for breathability, the shirt is definitely wide regardless of the size you order. Apart from that great shirt, it took me 15 minutes to get the wrinkles out before I could wear it!.
In hot weather, the material is ideal. The large fits like most XL shirts on me, who is 6' 215lbs and has an old man stomach. I almost cancelled my order after ordering this Bahama II by mistake. I'm glad I didn't back out now. The Tamiami II's fit appears to be a little tighter. The material isn't quite as thin as the previous one, but it's still very nice and cool. I like how the pocket flaps add a little something extra to the look. I always wear the shirt tail out because it is long enough. I did get the white, so only time will tell if it maintains its clean appearance. I'd like to see the Bahama II in a few different colors. There is no way to go wrong with Columbia, and Amazon is to thank for the quick delivery.
I'm a big fan of nylon tees. Traveling in the summer is a breeze with this bag. They can be washed by hand and dry quickly if the weather isn't too humid; however, even if the weather is humid, they will usually drive overnight. They are perfectly presentable to wear without ironing if you don't ring them out, hang them wet, and smooth out the fabric with your hands. There are vents in the back yoke. The flaps on the front breast pockets are secured with Velcro, and there are drain holes in case you fall in the drink. Button- collar that has been lowered There are so many colors to choose from, and when I wear a bright color, I get a lot of compliments from both friends and strangers. The color of the shirt will fade slightly with repeated washings, but you can reduce this by not washing it in the machine. For a pastel casual travel shirt, the slight fading isn't a big deal in my opinion; obviously, white or some of the very dark colors won't have that problem. These shirts are easy to pack, as they can be rolled up and stored in packing cubes. I hope Columbia continues to produce these in the future. Last but not least, These tees are a little on the big side. I usually order all of my shirts in size 'Large' because I like my shirts to be a little loose, but I ordered these Bahama II shirts in size Medium and they fit perfectly. It's still a little baggy, but not too much. I recommend ordering a size down from your usual size.
When I went to a seminar in the Rocky Mountains, I bought this shirt to blend in. When the conversation shifted to adventure and such, everyone there assumed I knew what I was talking about. When I travel in general, I like to wear the shirt as well. On planes, it breathes well. I occasionally go fishing and may wear it while doing so. If I ever go on a real adventure, I'll be wearing this shirt.
I usually wear medium shirts, but not this time; this shirt is two sizes smaller than my usual size and fits perfectly. The shirt has a really cool backside. It would have been too big on me if it had been a small. My height is 6'1'' and my weight is 170 pounds. Cool shirt, but Columbia needs to figure out what size is best.
When it did arrive, however, I was disappointed to find that it had already been worn! The tags had been removed, and it reeked of men's cologne: 0br>These shirts are of excellent quality and are well worth the money if you get a brand new one!: )br>I'm torn between returning it and not.
I've been buying Columbia shirts for at least 15 years and still have a few that are in good condition. In the last two years, however, there has been a significant increase in the number of I've bought a few shirts over the last three years that have started to fall apart after only a few months of use. The most recent, a "Columbia Men's PFG Bahama II Short Sleeve Shirt" I recently purchased, has a 1/2-inch long rip in the back, straight out of the package. Columbia's quality has clearly deteriorated in recent years, which is disappointing for a once-great brand; this will be the last Columbia item I ever purchase!.
Before making a purchase, I read a few reviews. The majority of people said the shirts run a little big. I'm 5'- At 205 pounds, I'm 7 feet tall and usually wear a size medium to x-large. Depending on the situation, large I rarely buy things online for the same reason that most of you don't: we need to try them on first because sizes differ. Because most people said these shirts run a little big, I went with a medium. When it arrived, I was impressed by how nice the material felt and how well-made it appeared. Now it's time to put it on and see how it looks. What they say is true; the shirt was a little tight at first, but it now fits perfectly. I considered returning it because I prefer a shirt that doesn't bind in the shoulders and hangs loosely because my stomach is, shall we say, ROTUND. I washed it according to the directions and tried it on again; the fit was the same, so there was no shrinkage. I decided to keep it, and I've worn it twice since then; I'm not recommending it, and I'm not saying it's a bad fit; it isn't. I'm thinking about ordering a large, but I'm afraid it'll be returned. We'll see, because I'm debating whether or not I want to risk another online shirt order with no test fit.
