Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Benton Springs™ Full Zip

I have worn these jackets for the past 20 years. And have always enjoyed them. However, this new jacket was not a good fit. The sleeves were too long. The body too short. And the material too thin. I have other Columbia jackets that I like and that fit well. I was very disappointed.

Size up- don't be in a hurry. Shipping is horrible & so slow!

I'm so disappointed in this product by Columbia!! Columbia is one of the few brands that creates outdoor gear in plus sizes so I've been loyal to this brand for years, but this particular jacket must be defective. When I received this jacket, it already had a hole in the inside left pocket. I work outdoors in a remote location, so I wouldn't have time to return it, but I assumed it would be warm. It was not! Even a little wind cuts through it, so it doesn't function well as a coat. You must wear layers with this jacket! It has already begun to fade after about 10 wears. I'm hoping it's just this one product, but I'm hesitant to ever purchase from this company again. The one good thing about it is that it is true to size (I sized up to accommodate layers).

Ordered a size up and thought I was doing the right thing but I guess not.

It felt nice but the size chart isnt accurate size up.. they also charge a return fee!

Definitely Runs SMALL! I Ordered A Size Up, And It Is Too Small

Runs Small. Tried to return and they wanted to charge me to return, when I didn't pay for shipping to begin with. I Will not be ordering from them again.

This jacket was very short nothing like the pic shows

Size isnt accurate, a 2x is big on me and the 2x is skin tight. Im returning the items.

Too small in the arms. Columbia designers need to get a better understanding of what plus size arms are not what has been made.

I was not happy at all with my coat all I have done is cut off loose strings from all parts of the coat

Its not true to size a 3X fits small and doesnt zip up

Not long enough

didn't fit at all i ordered this one from the plus size sections and i ordered it in a 3x i'm not understanding what's wrong with tongue company

I ordered both me and my girlfriend Spring Benton zip ups and they barely fit.... here's the kicker I even purchased from the plus size line ?!?!?! like either y'all plus size section is for skinny people or y'all using some terrible fabric.. Thank god i'm in the middle of a weight loss journey

I ordered it but it was not in stock. Very disappointed!

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyytto small in sizing. ?

This item is not like the old version! Feels way thinner and shorter in the torso!

I returned this jacket because, unlike previous Benton Springs fleece jackets I've had, this one felt thin and was not warm enough for a cool day in Oregon.

This is the 2nd year in a row I bought 4 fleeces for my wife...same thing as last year happened.The zipper broke after one washing..had this trouble in past...I will never buy another Columbia fleece...put a decent zipper on these fleeces...you charge enough!! Gary

The fleece was falling out of the jacket!!! It looked like burn marks! I looked down at my shoulders and it looks like it had been burned with cig butts (no one around me smokes,nor do I). It was a very warm jacket but appearance was lacking due to the loose fleece.

The material on this jacket is so thin that I can see the colors and the pattern of the clothes underneath! I have a jacket that looks the same that I have had for 10 or more years and it was thick and warm and durable. I will be returning this jacket.

I have at least 15 of these fleece jakcets and i LOVE them. I buy a couple new colors each winter. This time is just apuling!! I received the jacket and it was USED!! It had a stain and had clearly been worn! I sent it back for a efund but i am upset because i had plans to wear it somewhere and couldnt because i had to return it. I ordered two others that were okay. I just think that i deserve some type of discount for a future purchase as i am now forced to wait weeks for my refund!! I will most likely continue to purchase ths product especially at retailers where i can look at it first.

I Love Columbia and so far all the products I had purchased, until I came across this fleece jacket. The material of the fleece was very thin, the color was not the same as the one on the preview, the color was actually much lighter, as for the size it was too small and very uncomfortable to wear.

The zip up sweatshirt is cheaper made than what I thought and 3x is too small and thats what I usually wear so I am sending it back and probably won"t order from here anymore.
