Overview
Columbia's Unisex PFG Fish Flag Mesh Ball Cap is a cotton-elastane fishing hat in size L/XL with a ventilated mesh back and an embroidered fish flag patch on the front.
Columbia markets this within its Performance Fishing Gear line, aimed at long days on the water as much as casual wear. The mesh back panel is there for airflow rather than sun coverage, so it pairs a breathable build with a soft, form-fitting fabric blend.

- Ventilated back panel
- Cotton and elastane fabric blend
- Embroidered fish flag patch
Who it's for
Works for anglers and casual wearers who want a breathable, PFG-branded cap in a single L/XL size. Not for buyers needing a different size, since this listing covers only L/XL.
Pros and cons
- Ventilated mesh back for airflow
- Soft cotton-elastane fabric blend
- Embroidered fish flag patch adds branding detail
- Only available in L/XL from this listing
- Mesh back offers less sun coverage than a solid-back cap
Performance notes
The mesh back panel is built for airflow, so the cap trades some sun protection for breathability compared with a solid-back design. The cotton-elastane fabric blend is meant to hold its shape while remaining soft against the head.
