Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ Full Zip

Bought this as a gift for my mother in law and Once again columbia has a great product for an affordable price. Very nice quality and beautiful color(the Quill color is a little brighter than it appears online) but still a great color choice for those who want something a little less flashy . Runs a little small because she typically wears L not an XL.

To start off I was not satisfied at all. The quality is horrible and I've washed my jacket a few times but I wasn't expecting for my jacket to have small fabric pills and the zipper is broken. I got my jacket just about 3 months ago and I wasn't expecting for It to be in bad quality this fast. And needless to say I don't find it warm at all. Also I got this jacket in a medium and it is feels large. I'm just about 5'5 and about 110 pounds and I feel like the medium is like a EXTRA large to me.But the worst part of it all. I'm not sure how but some how it feels like it Velcros onto my hair and it is very painful and I have experienced it breaking off my hair on one side in the nape. I'm totally switching to north face.

I love the Benton Springs jackets. I ordered the Hibiscus Red in an XL and it fits a little tighter than I like. It is a brighter color than I expected but I really like it. I have since ordered a 1X and I like the fit much better. I will say that the sleeves are longer on the XL than they are on the 1X and I have to roll them up. Other than that, I think this is a great jacket and I love that they come in so many colors. I will be back for more!!!

I have this jacket in several different colors. The price, guality and choice of colors is excellent. I normally take a Med but after reading reviews, I ordered the Large and perfect fit. Don't hesitate to order this jacket....love it.....

I read the great reviews and loved my previous Columbia fleece jacket, but I really didn't like this one. I ordered this online in black and turqouise and returned it. First of all, the material reminds me more of felt than fleece. I thought it looked cheap and cheesy, especially in a bright color. I also didn't like how it had the elastic band along the bottom. It just looks very out-dated and old ladyish (btw I am 32 mom of 3). I returned it in the store for a different jacket that was a little more expensive and am very very happy with my new one.

I like the jacket but the color is awful !!! Not at all like the color swatch . It is ridiculously bright. I wish I has a gift receipt so I could return it!

I bought this As a Christmas gift they totally love the jacket it's a comfortable all purpose jacket to wear

Ordered this fleece for my wife for Christmas. She loves it! It fits really well, and the drawstring is a big plus. It is very warm, and she loves the color. No quality issues found.

This is my second Columbia jacket, and it is fabulous! Sizing runs true, but if you want to wear a bulky sweater underneath I'd go up a size for mobility. It's so soft and warm for chilly winter days. I highly recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a durable, high quality fleece. Perfect jacket!

I absolutely LOVE this fleece. The weight is substantial and it holds up well with repeated washings. It does not bind anywhere and the length is a bit longer than other jackets I own....this is a great feature. The only drawback is that not all sizes are available in every color.....I've purchased 3 of these thus far, and will be buying more! I'd love to have on in every color. Absolutely, positively awesome jacket!! Buy it!!

I have always been a fan of the Columbia fleece. Great price, great quality!

Very nice fit; somewhat slimming. I wear one of my two Colombia fleece jackets almost daily and the zippered pockets are a plus. Very disappointed in the color (Colombia Navy). I do not consider it navy; more of a blue-gray.

The fit was true to size. I got the quill colored fleece and it is gorgeous. I hike and go for walks around my neighborhood and it has kept me very warm (New England winters can be brutal). I highly recommend this product!

First thing I noticed was that the "Dark Raspberry" color appears different from it does online. It looks more red/magenta online, while in real life the color is a lot less rich (think Barney purple). I'd prefer for it to be a little thicker and warmer, but other than that this jacket is great and super comfortable! I recommend.

I love my new Columbia fleece! The price was unbeatable, and the jacket fit perfectly. It's a great weight for cool southern temps. It doesn't get super cold here, so this jacket is just right. It's not too heavy, but it keeps me warm. I got the black one and can wear it with a variety of things. I highly recommend it!

I like the warmth of my fleece & it fits perfectly but it already is falling apart & I haven't even had it for a month. I wish I could post a picture to show what I'm talking about.

This fleece jacket is great for cooler days outside. When I first got it in the mail it felt thin but when I wear it with a long sleeve it does a good job of keeping me warm, it certainly does not keep all the wind out, but that's okay because that's not what its built for. The only thing I was disappoint in was the color. I ordered the Dark Raspberry and I might as well have ordered the purple one. The way it looks online is not true to the real color that it comes in

It is very soft and comfortable. Comes in very pretty colors.

I love this fleece so much. I wear it almost everyday. It is so soft and keeps me so warm. I love it so much, I'm buying one for my mom! I'm 5'4" and 125 lb. and I bought a small. It does fit a little big but I like the extra wiggle room. I recommend this to everyone!

I ordered this in black and when I got it in the mail it was definitely more of a dark gray as opposed to the black pictured online. I wear a small in pretty much all my other jackets and felt like I was swimming a little in this. I'm 5'5" and about 125 so it was a little big. The fit doesn't really taper in on the sides like it does in the pictures. I'm gonna try to exchange this for a smaller size and hope that it does the trick.

I am 5'5" and 177 lbs, this jacket fits great and is warm and cozy! Everything I hoped it would be!

Bought this to replace a Columbia fleece jacket I got 6-8 years ago. As with all fleece these days, it's not as thick as the older ones, but about as thick as you can get right now. This is my outdoor jacket until temps drop below 55 degrees. I like the inside and outside pockets. Sleeves are a little long, but cuffs roll up better than on most jackets. One question for the designers - why does the Men's equivalent have a loop in the collar for hanging, while the women's doesn't? Now I have to add one myself.

I ordered a XL because it said that it fit small. It fits perfectly. It feels warm and will probably be enough coat for me for the whole winter in Va Beach. I would suggest ordering a size up like I did.

This fleece is so comfotable and warm. Perfect for the chilly fall and winter in Chicago. I especially loved the color. I purchased the oceanic, but i also went back and bought another one in another color, thats how much i loved it.

I got the grey/groovy pink and its super cute! Super warm! True to size, I love it!
