Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Benton Springs™ Full Zip

The product is nice just if you are one size I would suggest you get it a size bigger if you like more room

Nice lightweight fleece jacket. I ordered the 2X and although it fit well in most places. I have a little bit longer torso than most and I didn't like where it hit right at the hip for me.

These jackets are not what they once were. Much thinner. Super disappointed!

It runs smallish and it's a tad too short (I am 5' 10") but I kept it anyway. One thing that REALLY bugs me about it is there is no loop on the inside to easily hang it on a hook. Come on Columbia! That's standard in athletic clothing today!

The color of the product is off. The "Deep Marine" is really a light aqua. A nicely made jacket, and as a plus sized buyer, it was a bit large on me. I will return it due to the color.

I purchased this for my niece and after reading the reviews I went from a 2X to a 3X. It was still way too small, the sleeves were short and the jacket length was short as well. She loved the color, just wished the jacket would have fit.

I did not care for the color or the style. It seemed to be more of a midnight blue than navy. The style made me look about 20 pounds heavier and the right arm was too snug.

I ordered the jacket in black and it is not a true black color, it was more of a grayish color. The reviews said the jacket runs small, but I had to sent it back because the jacket was huge.

I ordered this 2 sizes bigger than I needed and the sleeves are still too short. Columbia Should consider doing "Tall" sizing along with plus sizes. Other than that I love this product. I would recommend.

I haven't worn it yet, quality seems fine. The only thing is I usually wear a 1X and that was extreamly tight but the 2X seems like its way to big.

Ordered this for my wife a size larger than I'd normally get and it's 2" wider on both sides to a 2x fleece she has currently. Buyer beware. Will be returning after xmas.

I typically wear a 1x-2x in shirts; however, after reading reviews I was aware that the jackets ran a bit small. I decided to order a 3x just to be sure it fit with sweatshirts underneath and was comfy. When I got the jacket (I am 5'9) the sleeves were short (which usually is a problem for me) and the overall length of the jacket was short. It looked awkward on, and although it fit everywhere else the midsection was large. I ended up sending the jacket back (free shipping to get it to me, but definitely not free to send back!) and I went to a local department store that sells Columbia jackets and bought an xl in mens that fit perfectly.

Nice jacket...but too short for a tall woman...

I love these jackets, but the one I ordered was bright orange, not the more muted orange pictured on the website. I returned it, but I will order another color. Thanks for making them available in plus size.

I ordered a Benton Springs jacket in 1X Elderberry. Let me just say that some people may find everything they wanted in this jacket and that I AM ABSURDLY PICKY. Not only is the fabric a super plush(which I've always hated because it causes lots of static and dry cuticles catch on it), it fits looser than the given measurements indicated and it isn't as warm or comfortable as a fleece I got years ago at a certain popular chain. I'll give you a hint; two words separated by a star. I noticed a few people say that this jacket is slimming...not the case at all for me. The whole piece is very boxy and NOT fitted at the waist. The cording at the bottom doesn't stay tight no matter how I try, making it impossible to keep the wind out. The color is pretty, despite it being much lighter than pictured. The one redeeming quality is that it is comfortable to drive in. I am a pharmacuetical delivery driver, so I drive anywhere from 150 to 400 miles a night. I usually have a very difficult time finding clothing that is comfortable for long hours AND that doesn't constrict my embarassingly fat arms, but this jacket fits those needs. Overall, I don't consider this jacket worth nearly sixty bucks for my preferences, but it isn't unsatisfactory enough to bother with returning it. I will, however, be taking in the side seams myself to make it fit better. Perhaps Columbia has a different one that I can love....

Was so excited to find a jacket this weight in what I though would be a grey tone. When it arrived the "metal" was actually a sick looking weak blue. So disappointed. I was expecting some shade of grey. The fit was very flattering though for a plus size jacket - lightly fitted. Please just make this in a nice grey!

I purchased this fleece because I needed a lightweight jacket that would keep me warm on cool days. And I wanted a fleece that would look good and feel good. This fleece looked and felt great, but it failed on the part of keeping me warm. The material was thinner than I expected and let the wind through rather easily - so I ended up cold. Had to return it, cause I just needed something thicker - otherwise, it would have been perfect.

This is ok- if you're wearing it in the house. If you're looking for a jacket, forget it. I could literally see through the fleece. You get what you pay for, but this is ridiculous. I would never keep it, mine is being returned.

Fit great and very comfy!

Beautiful quality fabric, but the jacket is very short . I would not order again.

I wish that manufacturers would realize that plus-size does not only equate making the product wider. Sizing, it fits comfortably, but its short, shorter than I would have liked it. If I raise my arms, my stomach is exposed as it lifts all the way up with you. I feel like I'm constantly pulling it down and adjusting it. It fits true to size and is well-made, but I wasn't looking for a crop top. The moment I held it up after it was delivered, I knew it was going to fit strangely. If you're going to offer plus-size, look into it more and adjust length, not just width. I also paid for priority shipping, and received this weeks later than the other 2 items in my order. Disappointing to lay the least.

We have had this maybe a week and the elastic broke

Not the same fleece as my other Columbia jackets! This material is thinner & not as soft, even after I washed it a few times. Just disappointing! If you're looking for a soft fleece..this isn't it!

Material not very good, looks like felt rather than fleece. Too short. Well made.

I ordered a size 2X which what I usually wear and have a little extra room inside so it's baggy. Well this 2X fits like it's a size XL which feels like 2 sizes too small. Sleeves are tight, length is short, just below waistline. Surprised that the sizing is so off! Wished I had ordered it in a 3X and I just wouldn't wear it zippered.
