Columbia Ultimate Chill II Long Sleeve Shirt

Columbia Ultimate Chill II Long Sleeve Shirt

Historically I am not a big fan of technical fishing shirts, but this one made me change my tune. This lightweight, stretchy, long-sleeve shirt has Columbia's sweat-activated cooling technology. The fit is trim and feminine, while the fabric's stretch allows for range of motion. The Columbia Ultimate Chill II Long Sleeve Shirt kept me comfortable and happy during long summer days on the water, and the stand-up sun collar is actually tall enough to make a difference. The coral and blue colors are lovely and light enough be comfortable in hot weather. ($90 columbia.com)
