Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ Full Zip

I bought a Benton springs fleece a few years ago and loved it, wanted to purchase a new one as it was getting older and I saw they were on sale. Overall it is an ok fleece for fall and spring but the fit is not the same as it used to be. I normally wear a womens L, I always size up for fleece/jackets cause I like to layer with New England weather. The XL I purchased is super narrow in the waist area now, Im wider in the hips so I dont care for it. The previous style was a more relaxed fit and I could easily layer a thick hoodie under it. I wont be able to layer this one, might keep it for work and because I love the green color but I wont purchase again. For less curvy women this might be a great fit, but it isnt for me. Super disappointed that this style changed the older one was perfect.

The only reason I went with a 4 is because I can't do 3.5, and it is better than a 3. I have been buying this style of fleece for years. The last 2 I bought, almost 2 years ago, were thinner than previously purchased one. I just got a brand new one in the Nightshade color..absolutely LOVE the color, but the fleece is even thinner than before. I am only keeping because of the color. The jacket is very thin. The elastic on the wrists is almost non-existent. Sadly, I may have to find a new brand/style. I was ready to outfit the grandkids with this brand for fall, but I'm going to be looking elsewhere.

I like the jacket, I use when working in the hospital, it's very warm and size fits, one thing I would love to change is for it be longer, I think even if you change sizes the length is the same.

I bought this fleece jacket to replace a similar one whose zipper broke after 1 1/2 years and hope it lasts longer!

The only reason Im not giving it 5 stars is because the color is not as it looks in the picture. I bought it specifically because I needed a navy jacket for work but its more a light blue/grey color. Otherwise I love this jacket, I have the same one in pink and wish I could wear it to work but I need to be in uniform. Keeps me warm and its very comfortable.

I wouldn't given 1 star for this price range and for the color got. I order black but color was in dark grey. Tag says 'BLACK'. I used to buy from china with same quality under $15. Thought the brand will have some better quality than that. But its same. Never buying again.

I like this fleece very much, but wish the cuffs were not so loose. The sleeves fall down over my hands, I push the sleeves back towards my elbows, but they slip straight back down again. I wonder if there is a way to tighten the elastic?

Seems like everyone has a fleece jacket but me, so I ordered this one because I had some discounts. Love the dark navy color. Material is not as warm as I expected; you really need to have a long sleeved something underneath to avoid feeling the wind. I ordered an XXL which has plenty of room for my big stomach, but it was tight under the arms which bothers me the most. Did not feel poportioned correctly.

Great color and I love the Columbia fleece. It's warm and holds up to washing well.

have five of these, my go to jacket for NC spring and summers

I bought a lot of things in size large, this one feels very chunky. The color is pretty true to the picture, but I think I was expecting something different. Its a little bold. I got the fuchsia. The color is super thick. Feels really chunky around the neck. Not my favorite purchase.

ive had 2 of these fleece jackets and for the most part they keep me comfy and cozy my whole 12 hour night shift in the hospital. there is one thing that bothered me about the jacket , the little handle on the zipper on both of them busted and its hard for me to zip it up now . and i only had the jackets for a year . other than that its a good jacket with a comfortable fit

It is warm and comfortable but the fit can be improved.

This is a looser fit. I'm usually a size large and this was a little baggy on me over a long-sleeve T-shirt. The sleeves are also loose with an elastic cuff. The fleece is thick and looks like it would be very warm as a zip-up cardigan. The pink is a very bright, Bright!!! Pepto-Bismol pink. This might be exactly what some of you are looking for, but if you want a slenderer fit, keep looking.

I love this jacket! Its perfect for a Florida winter. It fits great and keeps me warm.

I really Love this fleece!! It's so warm!!! Love the color too!

LIGHT WEIGHT super cute but long sleeves is such a inconvenience and not very on the go to roll up sleeves ecery time

Ordered this for my very thin 17 year old daughter. She is about a size 3 and I ordered the medium so she could wear it over her usual clothing. There is no room to spare for a sweatshirt or sweater underneath. I got the yellow and it is so thin that the color of the shirt underneath shows through and makes it look obviously different. Even with the sale and a rewards certificate, I paid way too much for this. Pretty disappointed. There was a lot of loose threads on it too which isnt a problem but just shows that there isnt much pride in manufacturing this jacket and it isnt of a higher quality than a no name or bargain brand fleece jacket. Not worth the price. Not worthy of the Columbia label.

I am disappointed that the jacket does not have a loop on the back collar to hang it from. My other Columbia jackets had those. Was this an mistake ?

Color is not as its shown in the picture. Also runs large.

My husband and Ive been a customer this product for many yrs.I like this product, very affordable and its comfy to wear.I recommend this to my friends and to other people We know.

Love the jacket. Just wish the arms weren't so long.

Love the color and the feel. Its a gift but I know she will love it!
