Though called “novelty,” this sun shirt from Columbia is eminently useful. The short-sleeved shirt has buttons running up the front and a vent in the back to keep you cool on hot days.

The nylon-polyester blend is designed to increase airflow, too — and it’s naturally moisture-wicking to help keep you dry. Columbia also made the shirt a 40 UPF for sun protection.

The collar makes the shirt look a little more dressy than a normal hiking shirt, so it’s easily converted from an activewear product to something you can wear to a bar, restaurant or party on a summer day. The short sleeves are rolled, adding a fun element of design to the shirt.

The Pilsner Peak shirt comes in various colors and patterns, including Bluebell, Chalk (with a Pacific Northwest-themed print), Dusty Green, Red, Lychee (pink) and more.

Most users give the shirt high marks, with a few people noting the sizes seem to run a little smaller than what they were used to with other Columbia products.

Interior Upgrades Begin Rolling Out Across United Fleet

United Airlines is in the midst of a major initiative to modernize its fleet over the next several years. After first announcing the plan in 2021, planes fitted with United’s signature interior are finally beginning to appear across the airline’s narrowbody fleet of Boeing and Airbus planes. United flyers are sure to notice these enhancements from the moment they step on board: Each new or updated plane sports remodeled seats, seatback entertainment screens for everyone, Bluetooth connectivity and more, all adding up to a better experience on every journey.
