Columbia mens Bahama Ii Short Sleeve Shirt

Great shirt, washes well I wear it outside a lot, at night the long sleev version I wear. I recommend to all buy it you will be comfortable, close Anough to my correct size.

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.

I bought this on black friday for a good price, and I'm glad I checked. This is a nice and comfortable shirt. I fish, but not as much these days. If I do go fishing, it will be in a T-Shirt. This shirt is for casual wear so I can look like a cool guy that goes bone fishing in the Bahamas. Joking aside, this is a nice shirt. Makes me look active and younger instead of a couch potato.

The Columbia Men's Bahama II Short Sleeve Shirt has become my go-to travel shirt, and here's why it stands out for this purpose. Comfort and Fit: Crafted from 100% Tactel nylon, this shirt is incredibly lightweight and breathable, making it perfect for warm climates. The relaxed fit provides ample room for movement, which is essential when navigating through airports or exploring new destinations. However, be mindful that the sizing can run a bit large, so consider sizing down for a more tailored look. Quick-Dry and Sun Protection: One of the standout features is its quick-dry functionality. Whether you find yourself caught in a light rain or need to freshen up after a long day of sightseeing, this shirt dries rapidly, allowing you to stay comfortable without worrying about dampness. Additionally, it offers Omni-Shade UPF 50 sun protection, shielding your skin from harmful UV rays—a crucial feature for outdoor adventures. Practical Design The shirt includes practical elements like ventilation and utility loops, making it not just stylish but functional as well. The button-down collar adds a touch of class, allowing it to transition from casual outings to more formal settings with ease. The double chest pockets are handy for storing travel essentials like your phone or boarding pass. Overall Impression: In summary, the Columbia Men's Bahama II Short Sleeve Shirt excels as a travel companion. Its combination of comfort, quick-drying fabric, and sun protection makes it an ideal choice for any traveler. Whether you're hiking, sightseeing, or enjoying a casual dinner, this shirt keeps you looking sharp while providing the practicality you need on the go.

Columbia makes some fantastic shirts, but make sure to order the appropriate size. I am 5’10”, 195 lbs, and would typically wear a Large in most similar styled (button-up) shirts, but I have to get a Medium in Columbia PFG shirts. (The Medium is still a moderately loose fit, as the Large is like a tent on me). Tip number two is that because these shirts are on different sizing scale, many get returned to the Amazon Warehouse, so keep an eye for Amazon Warehouse deals on these shirts (see tips to finds the easiest way to compare prices across sizes and colors at the conclusion of this review). I have tried the Tamiami II, Bahama II, and Bonehead (AND new Blood & Guts III – see below for updated comparison including the BG3 series) versions of the Columbia PFG shirts, and have been mostly pleased with all of them. The Tamiami II was my favorite due to the cooling effect of the weave, but the similar Blood & Guts III is now right there with it. My reasoning for giving the Bahama II 4 starts instead of 5, is that out of the four series discussed in this review, it is my least favorite. The Bahama II tends to wrinkle, is not as cool feeling in extreme heat as the open weave Tamiami or Blood&Guts, and the nylon tend to feel slimy during periods of heavy perspiration. Below I have noted the differences in four of the PFG styles, for those trying to decide which shirt they may prefer. TAMIAMI II STYLE (POLY) - SUMMERTIME CASUAL FAVORITE The Tamiami II (T2) and the Blood & Guts III (BG3) are my favorite of the aforementioned PFG styles. The main difference between each of these styles is material. The T2 & BG3 are 100% polyester (liner and exterior), the Bahama II (Ba2) is nylon, and the Bonehead (BH) is poplin cotton. The T2 is the thinnest/lightest (most breathable) material of the three styles, also has a slightly shinier appearance, and is probably the most wrinkle resistant of the three (as the fabric is less rigid that the nylon Bahama II or cotton Bonehead). (Update 7/11/16 – The Blood & Guts series is also breathable polyester similar to the Tamiami with a slightly different styling, and stain resistant fabric. See update at end of review for full comparison.) The T2 has a snap button pocket on top with Velcro pockets underneath on both sides, which I also prefer over the pocket style on the other two (Ba2 & BH have identical pocket styles). The synthetic T2 and Ba2 both wick moisture and create a cooling effect better than the cotton BH, but the lightness and weave of the T2 makes it by far the coolest wearing of the three. For outdoor activity in the heat and humidity of summer, it would definitely be my preferred choice. The long-sleeve version is fantastic for offshore fishing when lightweight sun protection is essential. The Ta series also does not wrinkle as badly as the Ba and BH series shirts do. (The PFG apparel which has an SPF rating, such as the Tamiami & Blood/Guts series, has an open fabric weave which is “lose” enough to allow some penetration of UV through the material itself; which means the material is much more breathable ergo cool feeling, although technically you could get some UV exposure through the shirt.) BAHAMA II STYLE (NYLON) - WORK WEAR IN MILD WEATHER The Bahama II is the middle ground between the T2 and the BH. It is synthetic - similar to the T2, but is a nylon exterior shell with a polyester liner (whereas T2 is poly liner and shell). The pockets on the Ba are the same traditional Columbia PFG look as the pockets on the Bonehead. The slightly more rigid feel of the nylon, also gives the Bahama a more traditional (cotton-look) appearance than the T2. In a certain respect, the Ba nylon manages moisture better than the BH cotton version – i.e. it evaporates sweat more quickly. On the other hand, the nylon does not absorb moisture as cotton does, so while it does dry faster, it has a “slimy” feel to when sweaty that simply is not comfortable. The Bahama also wrinkles worse than any of the other PFG series shirts, so it is my least favorite series. That said, it is still a good quality shirt, and makes for a great work shirt during temperate weather (i.e. when it isn’t going to get slimy with sweat). BONEHEAD STYLE (COTTON) - COOL WEATHER FAVORITE Most everything has already been covered. The BH and the aforementioned Ba styles look virtually identical. Essentially, I like the Bonehead over the Bahama because it does not get that slimy feeling when you sweat, and it is slightly better from a wrinkle perspective. The Bonehead is probably my favorite series when moisture management and cooling effect are not important, so I like these in long sleeve for fall and winter wear. I also like the traditional appearance of the Ba and the BH for work wear, but the T2 look I like better for casual. (The newer Blood & Guts series has the comfort of the Tamiami series, but has a look similar to the Bonehead, so it is my new favorite summertime work shirt.) The Bonehead long sleeve also makes a great layering option for hunting season, and Sage is a great natural neutral (earth tone) color for this purpose. UPDATE 7/11/16 – BLOOD & GUTS III (POLY) - HOT WEATHER FISHING FAVORITE When this review was originally posted, I only contrasted the Bahama, Tamiami, and Bonehead series shirts, but recently I have found a new favorite – the Blood & Guts III (BG3). While the name may not be all that appealing, these are really great shirts. They have an SPF rating, therefore breathable/open weave, similar to the Tamiami, with a styling that more closely resembles the Bahama & Bonehead series. The BG3 is also treated for stain resistance, making it a great shirt for fishing, work, and outdoor activities. Finally, the BG3 does not wrinkle nearly as severely as the Bahama nylon or Bonehead cotton shirts do. Out of the four PFG series shirts discussed, the BG3 series probably have the tightest fit. I still wear a medium in the BG3, but the series has a slimmer type cut than the previous versions discussed. All in all, this is my favorite alongside the Tamiami. I slightly prefer the Blood & Guts for fishing due to the stain resistance, whereas, I prefer the Tamiami for casual and boating wear just from an aesthetic standpoint. The Tamiami may have the slightest of edges in the cooling department, but they are very close in that regard. AMAZON PRICE COMPARISON & WAREHOUSE DEALS I used to always get aggravated at the way Amazon list apparel items with multiple colors, as it can take forever to search through multiple color (and size) options to see the cheapest offerings. On my iPad version the color prices are displayed in a list style automatically, but on my PC desktop I would have to select each color/size to see the price options. I did not realize there is a much simpler way. Select the “new and used from” (or “new” if no used offerings available) icon, which will take you to a list view. There must be multiple offerings for the exact size and color selected for this option to appear, so if you do not see the “new and used from” hyper-link, then select another size/color combination till the link appears.) In the list view screen, select your size and click the “lowest offer for each” icon beside the color selector. It will display the cheapest offering for each color shirt in that size, so you can quickly see which colors are the cheapest. Also, this view will show any Amazon Warehouse Deals available. As mentioned in the first paragraph, these shirts get returned often due to sizing issues, so many times the Warehouse deals are shirts that were tried on and immediately returned for a smaller size.

Pros I bought a set of 4 of these for travel, as easy clean, fast dry, no iron, wash and wear summer shirts compared to the long sleeved versions I also have. This review is after 2 years of travel and local use. The colors do not fade, but the white one has become beige. Cons They are very comfortable except in extreme summer heat, as its artificial fibers, but a loose fit breathes well.

I'm a big guy ("5'11, 310lbs) and I struggle to find shirts that fit well. I like this. I've worn it fishing and rafting a few times. It's a good shirt. I'll probably be buying more. The only downside is that I don't like the feel of it on my skin after a long day. It starts out don't for the first 4-5hrs, but then it begins to to feel a bit abrasive or something. If I wear it with a thin undershirt, then it's no problem.

I have half a dozen of these shirts. Best hot weather shirt out there. I wear them for golfing, cycling, just hanging out. Very comfortable and keep me cool on the hottest days. Easy to maintain; I just hang them after the spin cycle and they dry quickly with minimal wrinkling. Long lasting, too.

I enjoy wearing Columbia gear
