[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shirt is very comfortable even in hot and humid conditions. Has a nice details. Good quality! Thicker fabric that is waterproof and NOT see through. True to size. Might be a little warm for hiking, but great for a breezy day fishing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Convincing the hubby to use sunscreen is a very common argument in my household so I was very happy when he agreed to try this Columbia SPF protection shirt while doing yard work 🤣 It's definitely not the cutest but anything to keep him from turning into a lobster 🦞 I'm really trying to stay on top of using spf consistently this summer but the Japanese formulas I favor are getting so expensive and if tarrifs bump them up further I will have to go for a cheaper alternative or start wearing long sleeves like this. I was surprised my hubby liked this so much, apparently it actually does breath well enough to wear in hot weather during heavy yardwork so it'd also be great for hiking.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent Quality and Comfort – Perfect for Outdoor and Casual Wear! I’ve been wearing the Columbia Men’s Skien Valley Shirt for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The fabric is lightweight yet durable, making it perfect for everything from hiking to casual outings. It breathes well and dries quickly, which is great for warmer days or travel. The fit is spot on—relaxed without being too loose—and the craftsmanship shows in every stitch. I also love the subtle style; it looks just as good on the trail as it does at a casual dinner. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a versatile, high-quality shirt.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pocket on the left breast is really handy, especially for maps or other things you need to access quickly. The fabric is really lightweight. The snaps are really sturdy and make it easy to transition the cuffs from rolled down to rolled up. It's a modern take on outdoor wear. The seams had a few loose threads, and it's a little longer than I prefer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Men's Skien Valley™ Long Sleeve Shirt from Columbia is an great choice for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a combination of performance, comfort, and protection. I find the fit is true to size, providing a comfortable yet functional silhouette perfect for hiking or extended outdoor use. Stone green color exceeded expectations, that is true to the product photos and even more impressive in person. I absolutely loved the shade as it blends perfectly into natural surroundings, making it ideal for hiking and outdoor adventures. I like its breathable design, with mesh vents on the sleeves and back that ensure excellent airflow even in hot and humid conditions. The long sleeves and pop-up collar offer added protection from the sun. The built-in Insect Shield® technology is a game-changer, delivering long-lasting, invisible protection from insects without the need for sprays or lotions. The moisture-wicking Omni-Wick™ fabric keeps sweat at bay, enhancing comfort during high-physical activities.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in Oregon, we are huge fan of Columbia gear. We were excited to see they had come out with a new line! My husband tried out the Columbia Skien Valley Long Sleeve Shirt while fishing, and it was a great layer for the day. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and has a little stretch, so it moved with him easily while he was casting and reeling. It kept him cool under the sun but still gave enough coverage to keep the wind off. These things are important when you live in a place like Oregon where the weathers swings pretty hard. The hidden zipper pocket on the chest came in handy for storing his fishing license without worrying about it falling out. He loved the snaps instead of buttons, and the insect shield and sun protection were great. It’s the kind of shirt that works perfectly on the water but still looks good enough to wear out after. His only critique is that the shirt runs small. He wears an XXL in everything and this is ever so slightly snug and a little short, but still works. This item was gifted by Columbia for my honest review.
