Columbia PFG Tamiami II Long Sleeve Fishing

The Columbia PFG Tamiami II long sleeve fishing shirt delivers UPF 40 sun protection, Omni-Wick moisture management, and a vented cape back — the most widely worn sun shirt in saltwater fishing for anglers who understand that skin protection on the water is a daily-use functional requirement, not an optional accessory.

Columbia PFG Tamiami II Long Sleeve Fishing Shirt: UPF 40 for Saltwater Anglers

Reflected UV on the water surface amplifies exposure significantly above what the same time spent on land produces — fishers receive UV exposure from both direct sunlight and reflected radiation from water, making full-coverage sun protection from a UPF-rated shirt more effective than sunscreen alone for full-day exposure. The Omni-Wick polyester construction pulls sweat off the skin surface rapidly and dries fast in saltwater wind conditions, preventing the chilling and discomfort of a sweat-saturated shirt after strenuous periods of fish fighting and casting. The vented back cape provides direct airflow cooling during the hottest fishing hours without sacrificing sleeve coverage for sun protection.

• UPF 40 rating blocks 97.5% of UV radiation — effective against reflected water UV exposure
• Omni-Wick polyester pulls sweat off skin and dries rapidly in saltwater wind conditions
• Vented back cape for direct airflow cooling during high-heat fishing periods
• Rod holder loops and chest pockets sized for fishing accessories and license holders
• Columbia PFG design community-verified across decades of saltwater flats and offshore use

At $57.99, the Tamiami II is the baseline sun protection investment for any angler spending regular time on the water. The UPF 40 rating, moisture management, and vented construction together outperform any sunscreen routine for all-day coverage without reapplication, sweating off, or UV degradation during the day.
