- Is the Tamiami II good for hot weather?
- Yes. The polyester wicks moisture, dries fast and the mesh-lined back vent lets air through. It is built for fishing and humid days rather than cold weather.
- How does it fit compared with a regular shirt?
- It runs roomy and boxy, and the Big sizes add more room through the chest and waist. If you want a closer fit, consider sizing down.
- Does it really block the sun?
- Columbia rates the fabric at UPF 40, which blocks most UV rays. Coverage is only where the fabric covers, so exposed neck and arms still need sunscreen.
- What is the difference from the original Tamiami?
- The Tamiami II is the updated version, with the same fishing-focused layout: vented back, rod holder loop and chest pockets. It is lighter and quicker drying than the older shirt.
- How should I wash it?
- Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softener, which can cut down on wicking and breathability.
- What pockets does it have?
- Two chest pockets: one with a hook-and-loop flap and a rod holder loop, plus a smaller zip or slip pocket depending on the version.
