Comparison of Columbia PFG Styles (Tamiami II, Bahama II, Bonehead, and Blood & Guts III)
Columbia makes some fantastic shirts, but make sure to order the appropriate size. I am 5â10â, 195 lbs, and would typically wear a Large in most similar styled (button-up) shirts, but I have to get a Medium in Columbia PFG shirts. (The Medium is still a moderately loose fit, as the Large is like a tent on me). Tip number two is that because these shirts are on different sizing scale, many get returned to the Amazon Warehouse, so keep an eye for Amazon Warehouse deals on these shirts (see tips to finds the easiest way to compare prices across sizes and colors at the conclusion of this review). I have tried the Tamiami II, Bahama II, and Bonehead (AND new Blood & Guts III â see below for updated comparison including the BG3 series) versions of the Columbia PFG shirts, and have been mostly pleased with all of them. The Tamiami II was my favorite due to the cooling effect of the weave, but the similar Blood & Guts III is now right there with it. Below I have noted the differences in these styles, for those trying to decide which shirt they may prefer.TAMIAMI II STYLE (POLY) – SUMMERTIME CASUAL FAVORITEThe Tamiami II (T2) and the Blood & Guts III (BG3) are my favorite of the aforementioned PFG styles. The main difference between EACH OF these styles is material. The T2 & BG3 are 100% polyester (liner and exterior), the Bahama II (Ba2) is nylon, and the Bonehead (BH) is poplin cotton. The T2 is the thinnest/lightest (most breathable) material of the three styles, also has a slightly shinier appearance, and is probably the most wrinkle resistant of the three (as the fabric is less rigid that the nylon Bahama II or cotton Bonehead). (Update 7/11/16 â The Blood & Guts series is also breathable polyester similar to the Tamiami with a slightly different styling, and stain resistant fabric. See update at end of review for full comparison.) The T2 has a snap button pocket on top with Velcro pockets underneath on both sides, which I also prefer over the pocket style on the other two (Ba2 & BH have identical pocket styles). The synthetic T2 and Ba2 both wick moisture and create a cooling effect better than the cotton BH, but the lightness and weave of the T2 makes it by far the coolest wearing of the three. For outdoor activity in the heat and humidity of summer, it would definitely be my preferred choice. The long-sleeve version is fantastic for offshore fishing when lightweight sun protection is essential. The Ta series also does not wrinkle as badly as the Ba and BH series shirts do. (The PFG apparel which has an SPF rating, such as the Tamiami & Blood/Guts series, has an open fabric weave which is âloseâ enough to allow some penetration of UV through the material itself; which means the material is much more breathable ergo cool feeling, although technically you could get some UV exposure through the shirt.)BAHAMA II STYLE (NYLON) – WORK WEAR IN MILD WEATHERThe Bahama II is the middle ground between the T2 and the BH. It is synthetic – similar to the T2, but is a nylon exterior shell with a polyester liner (whereas T2 is poly liner and shell). The pockets on the Ba are the same traditional Columbia PFG look as the pockets on the Bonehead. The slightly more rigid feel of the nylon, also gives the Bahama a more traditional (cotton-look) appearance than the T2. In a certain respect, the Ba nylon manages moisture better than the BH cotton version â i.e. it evaporates sweat more quickly. On the other hand, the nylon does not absorb moisture, so in extreme heat with heavy perspiration, it gives the material a slimy feel that I do not enjoy. The Bahama also wrinkles worse than any of the other PFG series shirts, so it is my least favorite series.BONEHEAD STYLE (COTTON) – COOL WEATHER FAVORITEMost everything has already been covered. The BH and the aforementioned Ba styles look virtually identical. Essentially, I like the Bonehead over the Bahama because it does not get that slimy feeling when you sweat, and it is slightly better from a wrinkle perspective. The Bonehead is probably my favorite series when moisture management and cooling effect are not important, so I like these in long sleeve for fall and winter wear. I also like the traditional appearance of the Ba and the BH for work wear, but the T2 look I like better for casual. (The newer Blood & Guts series has the comfort of the Tamiami series, but has a look similar to the Bonehead, so it is my new favorite summertime work shirt.) The Bonehead long sleeve also makes a great layering option for hunting season, and Sage is a great natural neutral (earth tone) color for this purpose.UPDATE 7/11/16 â BLOOD & GUTS III (POLY) – HOT WEATHER FISHING FAVORITEWhen this review was originally posted, I only contrasted the Bahama, Tamiami, and Bonehead series shirts, but recently I have found a new favorite â the Blood & Guts III (BG3). While the name may not be all that appealing, these are really great shirts. They have an SPF rating, therefore breathable/open weave, similar to the Tamiami, with a styling that more closely resembles the Bahama & Bonehead series. The BG3 is also treated for stain resistance, making it a great shirt for fishing, work, and outdoor activities. Finally, the BG3 does not wrinkle nearly as severely as the Bahama nylon or Bonehead cotton shirts do. Out of the four PFG series shirts discussed, the BG3 series probably have the tightest fit. I still wear a medium in the BG3, but the series has a slimmer type cut than the previous versions discussed.AMAZON PRICE COMPARISON & WAREHOUSE DEALSI used to always get aggravated at the way Amazon list apparel items with multiple colors, as it can take forever to search through multiple color (and size) options to see the cheapest offerings. On my iPad version the color prices are displayed in a list style automatically, but on my PC desktop I would have to select each color/size to see the price options. I did not realize there is a much simpler way. Select the ânew and used fromâ (or ânewâ if no used offerings available) icon, which will take you to a list view. There must be multiple offerings for the exact size and color selected for this option to appear, so if you do not see the ânew and used fromâ hyper-link, then select another size/color combination till the link appears.) In the list view screen, select your size and click the âlowest offer for eachâ icon beside the color selector. It will display the cheapest offering for each color shirt in that size, so you can quickly see which colors are the cheapest. Also, this view will show any Amazon Warehouse Deals available. As mentioned in the first paragraph, these shirts get returned often due to sizing issues, so many times the Warehouse deals are shirts that were tried on and immediately returned for a smaller size.

Great shirts BUT…one was the wrong style
First of all, these are great shirts. I’ve owned a bunch of them and never had any issues at all. They wear well, wash well, require no ironing, and look good. So I have to give 5 stars based on the shirts themselves. The reason for this review is to alert other shoppers that Columbia makes at least 3 different styles of shirt out of the same material. This order was for 2 of the Tamiami II style, but one of the shirts received was another style. I’m ok with the mistake because I like both styles. I don’t know if placing two separate orders would have avoided the mistake, but I wanted to at least give others a heads up that it’s an easy one to make.

Awesome and comfortable shirt, just make sure to size down!
This shirt is awesome! The material is neat and feels great to wear. It does fit a size bigger than usual, so you might want to consider ordering a size down. Despite the sizing, it’s very comfortable and has quickly become one of my favorite shirts. Highly recommend!

Cool, Comfortable, and Looks Great!
I love the Tamiami II line of shirts from Columbia Sportswear, and own five of them. In fact, I recently purchased three more, and am always keeping an eye out for a good discount on some of the other colors I don’t have.I prefer the Tamiami II line because the vents are behind the shoulders and run vertically, rather than other styles that have the vents running horizontally across the back (making the top half of the back of the shirt “puff out”). This gives the Tamiami II line of shirts more of a casual dress appearance rather than looking like a fishing shirt. This lets me wear them, regardless of the activities I’m out doing.I live in Florida, so having a shirt that keeps me cool, comfortable, and dry while out in the heat is important. The ‘wick’ system prevents sweat from building up by guiding the sweat off of me, meaning even on the hottest days, I’m not walking around with embarrassing sweat spots on my shirt.The only negatives I have about these shirts is that the material is somewhat delicate. A few of these shirts have started getting rough spots while being washed with other clothes (especially those with buttons and/or zippers), so these should be washed with things like towels to avoid creating rough patches. This slight lack of durability on the material used in these shirts is what caused me to deduct 1 star. The shirts also tend to run a little big, so I’ve been buying smalls (which fit perfectly), despite me being a medium size in every other shirt I own.Overall, these are great, comfortable shirts that are perfect for almost any outdoor activity in warm to hot temperatures, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a shirt that will keep them cool and dry while still looking sharp.

Livraison en moins de 24 heures. Couleur (gris) comme sur la photo. Excellente qualité de tissu: ce polyester (modèle Tamiami) est doux et léger, comparé à d’autres modèles similaires de Columbia (plus rugueux). Nombreuses poches utiles. Bonne ventilation (aération) par les 2 ouvertures postérieures. Ample (comme la majorité des chemises Columbia de ce type) pour une medium mais collet pas trop large (comme c’est trop souvent le cas): comme je le voulais d’ailleurs, pour le voyage (pour porter un t-short dessous…). Rien de mieux pour le prix (moins de $50 CAD). Je recommande fortement si vous désirez une chemise “utilitaire” confortable, pas trop serrée.
