Description
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“I wore the Columbia Wild Cast Sun Long-Sleeve Shirt on a full day wade fishing trip in midsummer and it genuinely kept up with the heat. The Omni-Freeze fabric made a noticeable difference during the warmest stretch of the afternoon, and the thumbhole cuffs were easy to pull down over my hands whenever I wanted extra sun coverage without needing to dig out sunscreen.”
When the sky is clear and the water is calling, the last thing you want is to cut the day short because the sun got the better of you. The Columbia Wild Cast Sun Long-Sleeve Shirt is built to keep you out there longer, delivering broad-spectrum UPF 50 sun protection through a lightweight nylon and elastane fabric that moves with you rather than against you. Columbia designed this one specifically for long days on the water where shade is sparse and the sun is relentless.
Omni-Freeze technology accelerates moisture wicking and delivers next-to-skin cooling comfort when the temperature climbs through the afternoon, while Omni-Wick construction pulls sweat to the surface and dries it fast so you never feel damp or weighed down. The comfort stretch fabric follows every cast, reach, and retrieve without pulling or binding. Sun-blocking cuffs with thumbholes can be pulled down over the hands for extra protection during the peak hours, and a sunglasses loop on the sleeve seam keeps your eyewear handy when you need both hands free for the rod.
