Review: Keep Cool and Professional - I work Quality Control at a fabrication plant. I am outside all day either in the shop or in the sun looking at oil and gas equipment. My shop has a high standard for cleanliness, quality, and proficiency/efficiency. That and my position requires me too often "dress to impress" as the sales team is always riding around with customers showing them the facility and as you would expect they always want to talk to the QC guy. I’ve tried "polo" style shirts, T-shirts, and many other button up shirts. I always got Pit stains and a big wet spot on my back. to be expected I cover 30 acers on foot several times a day. finally I broke down a got these Columbia shirts. They are nice thin and breathable without being see-though the material is durable and can take some abuse. my favored part is the back were the shirt has vents that allow a constant air flow. These shirts really make a difference. They absorb moisture but it doesn't show unless it’s a lot and they air dry rather quickly. Since I’ve started wearing these I feel cooler I’m not seating through my cloths as often and I just over all feel more comfortable especial when I’m standing in front of a salesman and customer "pit stain free". I whole heartedly love these shirts and would recommend them to anyone who wants to stay cool and dry in a hot or humid work environment while still maintaining a professional look.
Review: Shirt - Very nice quality! Got these for my brother in law and he tells me frequently how much he loves these! Keeps him cool and they’re light. Says they’re so comfortable and wears them all the time! True to size

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this fabric good for humid, tropical climate like South East Asia?**
A: I have worn mine in the Philippines in June, Turkey in July, Italy in August,  Mexico in summer, NJ in July at 95 in direct sun, Kyoto , Tokyo both in July and high humidity, Bermuda in July, and two years ago in Maui when they had the hottest September on record.  and it is the bestshirt for the heat. Sometimes , like in Philippines, and it is 100 degrees at a resort, I go in water with it so I dont get fried, it dries on me and cools. I wear mine loose.I am not one to brag but I wanted to give you every scenario I was in . I rinse them in hotel room, hang them in bathroom and it is dry by morning. Dryers get them out almost wrinkle free. I don't think mine has ever been ironed. I have 6 short sleeve and six long sleeve. Some I haveare 10+ years old and a bit soft but still wearable for daytime shirt. who cares if you are sweating your face and butt off

**Q: Whats the little loop for?**
A: I use the small black & white loop under the right front pocket to hang a small nail clipper or scissors to cut or trim fishing line.

The Columbia vecro loop can be undone to hold your fishing rod while you change flies, lures or bail. Just like a third hand.

The loop to the right of the upper left pocket I use for my sunglasses.

But what's the deal with seen holes in the top and bottom of the pockets?

**Q: Do the sizes run true?**
A: Runs large. I usually wear large shirts, I got this in a medium because it looked a little bigger. The medium is too big.

**Q: Como es el tipo de lavado para las camisas columbia?**
A: Jabon suave a mano

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Columbia Shirt
*by R***Y on October 8, 2019*

This is a really nice sports shirt and my “go-to” shirt for casual Friday at the office or any outdoor activities (football games, baseball games, picnics, beach, etc.). I bought it primarily because it has built-in sunscreen to protect my skin from the bright/hot Texas sun. The color of this shirt is a beautiful cobalt blue that looks nice with my tan skin and dark hair. I must have 10+ Columbia Tamiami shirts, both short sleeve as well as long sleeve, for all indoor-outdoor occasions. These shirts are incredibly lightweight and wick away moisture really well, keeping me cool in the Texas heat. They also wash and dry really nicely and never need ironing. Amazon has a great price, which is much less than the Columbia retail price. This shirt is definitely worth more money and looks much more expensive than it was. I'm pleased with my purchase definitely recommend this shirt, especially if you're looking for sun protection. It's the perfect thing to wear in Texas or any place with a bright sun.
