Columbia Men's Silver Ridge Utility Long Sleeve Shirt

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Men's Silver Ridge Utility Lite Long Sleeve is the definition of a versatile outdoor shirt, proving itself indispensable on a demanding safari and making it the ideal choice for days out on the boat. On Safari: This shirt was a hero in the bush. Its lightweight construction and built-in venting system kept me remarkably comfortable and cool, even during the hottest hours of the day under the relentless sun. The Omni-Shade UPF protection provided peace of mind for long hours in open vehicles. Furthermore, the quick-drying fabric handled moisture perfectly, and the practical utility pockets were fantastic for stashing my small lens cap, note pad, or phone, keeping essential gear instantly accessible while tracking wildlife. It’s tough enough to handle bushwhacking yet sharp enough for lodge dinners. For Boating: Given the performance on safari, this shirt easily transitions to life on the water. Its ability to wick sweat and dry almost instantly means it handles spray and damp conditions without feeling heavy or sticky. The long sleeves offer reliable sun protection for long cruises, which is crucial for preventing sunburn and fatigue. The roll-up sleeves with secure tab holders are perfect for when you need to quickly rig a line or handle gear, offering flexibility without floppy sleeves getting in the way. It’s the ultimate piece of technical gear disguised as a classic, comfortable shirt.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome shirt! Cool and comfortable. Fits perfectly. I love everything about this shirt! This is my second one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’d always worn the PFG shirts for sun protection. They are great for dog walking but a bit too casual for most social settings. This silver ridge shirt is perfect for the later. And fine for walking. They are my new go to outdoor shirts. Just as ventilated and cool but also classy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super Nice fabric - very dressy, light weight, quick dry, geat ventilation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll be using this shirt on a 10 day sea kayaking trip to Isle Royale National Park. The lightweight quick dry fabric with high SPF rating and great venting are exactly what I need for the trip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my husband to have for sun protection while outdoors, but could still grab a casual dinner in. Soft material, cut well, looks nice on.

I picked one of these up at a 3rd party retailer after having looked for months and months, particularly to replace one that I had worn for years. I got so much use and utility out of the old one that it was a no-brainer to replace it. As I had hoped, same quality and fairly accurate fit/sizing. Whether it has longevity is yet to be seen. I was super excited particularly because it did NOT have PFG printed all over it! (Seriously, why is it so hard to find these shirts in stores without having the PFG logos on them? Not everyone is into fishing...)
