Columbia's PFG line is loved by everyone, but specifically
designed with anglers in mind. Its comfort and functionality make
this Columbia Women's PFG Bahama II Long Sleeve Shirt a first
choice for enjoying a day out on the water and in the sun. The
high quality materials used to craft this women's fishing shirt
are what make it so special, while its modern classic fit and
colors provide style and comfort.
The Bahama II Long Sleeve fishing shirt features some of
Columbia's best sun protection technology to help prevent skin
damage while outdoors. The fabric is crafted of UPF 30 to protect
against harmful UVA and UVB rays, sunburns, and long-term skin
damage. The mesh-lined back vents add breathability to the shirt
to ensure comfort even when things get hot; the 100% nylon fabric
is lightweight and dries quickly to keep you cool. Lastly, this
long sleeve shirt's utility features make fishing life a little
easier with a rod holder, multiple low-profile pockets, and
adjustable roll-up sleeves.
Columbia's long sleeve fishing shirt comes in many size
categories and in feminine colors as well. To ensure the size you
choose is right, utilize our sizing chart and the following
measurement instructions: For the sleeves, start at the center
back of your neck and measure across the shoulder and down to the
sleeve. If you come up with a partial number, round up to the
next even number. For the chest, measure at the fullest part of
the chest, under the armpits and over the shoulder blades,
keeping the tape measure firm and level.
Handy pockets and helpful performance features combine with
simple styling and clean lines to deliver a hard-working fishing
shirt fit for the discerning sportswoman. The Women's Bahama Long
Sleeve is vented to facilitate airflow so you stay cool on hot
days. Long sleeves and built in UPF 30 sun protection shield you
from harsh UV rays, so you can stay outside and enjoy the warm
summer weather for as long as your heart desires. When the
temperature rises, roll the sleeves for a little extra fresh air.
Omni-Wick Advanced Evaporation
------------------------------
Omni-Wick is the ultimate moisture-management technology for the
outdoors. Its superior wicking properties move moisture away from
the body and enable perspiration to evaporate quickly. During
physical activity, increased body temperature causes perspiration
(you know: sweat). Normally this results in damp, clammy, and
uncomfortable clothing (not to mention unattractive).
With Omni-Wick clothing, moisture is quickly wicked up into the
fabric, and away from the wearer's skin. The moisture spreads out
across the surface of the fabric where it quickly evaporates.
This wicking/evaporation process keeps the wearer cool and the
clothing dry. You stay dry, which helps regulate temperature,
prevent chafing and keep you comfortable all day. Work up a sweat
without getting all wet.
Omni-Shade Sun Protection
-------------------------
Columbia Sportswear's Omni-Shade clothing protects you by
blocking the majority of the sun's harmful rays so you can stay
out longer. It's like sunscreen that you don't have to
re-apply--and it's as easy as getting dressed. Omni-Shade blocks
UVA and UVB rays, helping to prevent sun burn and long-term skin
damage through a tight weave construction, UV reflectors, and
UV-absorbing technology.
Current consumer awareness centers around Sun Protection Factor,
or SPF, which is a measure of sunburn reduction from sunblock.
However, SPF does not indicate any protection from UVA rays,
which are harmful and present even on cloudy days. Like sunblock,
Omni-Shade is given a numeric value to indicate its level of sun
protection.
About Columbia Sportswear
-------------------------
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a
small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest
outerwear brands and the leading seller of skiwear in the United
States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety
of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories.
Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are
functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old
matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim
Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company.
Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie
Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat
distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat
Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by
poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start
manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college
sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later
took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of
a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a
college senior. After that it wasn't long before business really
started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to
make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced
the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange
System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing
options. In the early 1980s, then 60 year-old Gert began her role
as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular
advertising campaign.
The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a
world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today,
Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the
world and distributes and sells products in more than 50
countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.
