Columbia 7278 Ladies Tamiami II Long-Sleeve Shirt

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a walker and live in hot, sunny Florida. Since my body temperature tends to run warm, I would always wear workout tank tops when walking in the early morning and throughout the day shopping. Also, having olive skin, I stopped wearing sunscreen because I thought I didn't need it. WRONG. I just got my first squamous cancer cell on my forearm. Seriously bummed out. An oncologist I know wears these Columbia UPF shirts every time we walk. So, I got smart and bought three! The colors I thought would look best with my olive skin (brown-eyed brunette) are shown in the photo: white, Clear Blue (turquoise) and Blue Macaw (cobalt). LOVE THEM. Then I decided to buy Lollipop (pink). All three look fine with my skin color. The Blue McCaw is particularly rich, deep and gorgeous. HIGH QUALITY: The shirts are extremely well made with fine stitching. If it didn't have the logo on it, you could wear the shirt with a business suit. Also, people ask if the shirt is hot. Anything other than a tank top is hot for me, so I'm not a good judge... but I don't mind. I'd rather have the protection from the sun. The back vent is nice and I leave the bottom button unbuttoned to allow more air through. Great job, Columbia! Great product! P.S. Forgot to mention that I was 15 pounds heavier when I bought them. They are looser on me now, but I like the extra material for sun protection (longer on wrist).
