Columbia Men’s Skien Valley Breathable Long Sleeve Shirt

Hiking Shirt with Insect Repellency & UV Protection
Tackle your next adventure head-on with this versatile hiking shirt designed to shield you from nature’s toughest challenges. Engineered with Insect Shield® technology, it provides long-lasting bug protection, eliminating the hassle of reapplying sprays while keeping mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests at bay. Pair that with Omni-Shade™ UPF 50+ fabric, which blocks harmful UVA/UVB rays more effectively than standard sun guards, ensuring your skin stays safe under intense sunlight. Whether you’re trekking through sunny trails or navigating humid terrain, Omni-Wick™ moisture management ensures rapid sweat evaporation, keeping you cool and dry even during strenuous hikes.

This shirt’s smart design prioritizes comfort and convenience. The adjustable sun protection collar offers instant neck coverage when the sun gets too strong, while snap holders let you roll up sleeves securely for variable weather or terrain. A zippered chest pocket and hook-and-loop interior pocket provide discreet storage for essentials like maps or keys, ensuring valuables stay put without bulk. For breathability, mesh venting along the sleeves and back enhances airflow, reducing overheating on steep climbs or extended treks. The front snap closures make layering easy—perfect for adjusting on the go when temperatures shift.

Crafted from 100% nylon, this lightweight shirt is built to endure outdoor wear while drying quickly after sweat or unexpected showers. Ideal for hiking enthusiasts seeking all-day protection, it combines insect defense, UV blockage, and thermal regulation into one seamless package. Unlike standard hiking shirts, its multi-functional features address both environmental hazards and comfort needs, making it a standout choice for trail safety and performance. Whether you’re backpacking through wooded trails or summiting sun-exposed peaks, this shirt ensures you stay focused on the journey—without worrying about bugs, sweat, or harmful rays.
