Columbia Tamiami II Short-Sleeve Shirt - Men's Collegiate Navy, XXL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore the Columbia Tamiami II Short-Sleeve Shirt through a full day on the water in the middle of summer, and it kept me noticeably cooler than the cotton button-up I used to reach for. The rod holder loop on the chest is a small detail that makes a real difference when you are trying to re-rig without setting your rod down on a rocking deck.""A good day on the water starts well before the first cast. It starts with the right shirt, one that does not trap heat against your skin at noon, keeps the sun off your arms through the long afternoon, and still looks presentable when you walk into the marina for a cold drink at the end of the day. The Columbia Tamiami II Short-Sleeve Shirt has been that shirt for anglers for good reason. Omni-Wick technology pulls sweat away from your skin and pushes it to the surface of the 100% polyester ripstop fabric, where it evaporates quickly, keeping you dry and comfortable through the kind of heat that makes a full day on the water feel like a commitment. Omni-Shade construction with UPF 40 protection blocks UVA and UVB rays at the fabric level, so you are covered even when the sunscreen wears off. A mesh-lined back vent adds airflow where you need it most, and a rod holder loop on the left chest frees up your hands when you are changing rigs or working a lure. Buttoned collar tips keep things tidy in the wind, and multiple chest pockets give you somewhere to stash everything from a fishing license to a pair of sunglasses."
