Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ Full Zip

I bought this for just a nice comfortable jacket I could use when going between classes. I bought this in a small (I can fit in a small and medium depending on the brands) and this fit perfectly with room! This jacket is soft, so comfortable and at a great price! Great buy!!!!

I was disappointed because I thought this was red.. I really need a red columbia.. but whatever! It's cute but it's more like a orange/pink.. I only kept it because people said so many times how cute it was, and they loved the color... Oh well, just have to pay more attention to what I buy. Overall I'm a columbia collector.. so it's going to used no matter what!

Love this jacket . This is my second one. Got a bright color this time. Have had many compliments on this one .

Great Jacket for a chilly day and it's very comfortable. I purchased Grey and the bright rose. I love both!

I treat myself to a new one of these Columbia fleece jackets every year or two, and I wear them all winter long. They are such great quality, I don't ever actually wear them out, but just rotate them so that my last year's jacket is the one I don't mind to get dirty in, and my this year's jacket is the one I wear around town. I normally buy them from a local store, but I was so excited to see the relatively huge color selection when I bought directly from Columbia! I got Hyper Purple, and the color is gorgeous! Bright, but not overwhelming. The jacket is very comfortable and warm, and also great for layering. A great buy.

nice shirt, the only problem I have x small is uncomfortable when I zip it up to neck. Near neck its tight, but size smaller is too big for me. So I'm wearing but don't zip it to high.

This is my second one that I bought. I have a grey and a black one both in extra smalls and they fit perfectly. The jacket isn't heavy but still keeps you warm. I hate wearing giant winter coats, so if you're like me this is a great jacket. I wear it throughout all of fall, December, and March. It also is good for layering when it gets really cold

The Columbia navy jacket color was more of a peacock blue. Very nice and comfortable just not the advertised color.

I had been looking for a fleece to use during the cool of Autumn and early Spring when I just need a little more than long sleeves and less than a coat and this fleece does the job. It was a bit thinner than I expected but works great with layering. I love the softness and zippered front pockets. The color is awesome too, hyper purple is definitely purple! All together a very satisfactory product. I'll be buying a similar one for my husband.

I love this fleece! I had purchased the fast trek fleece and love that as well, but they are different. The Brenton springs fleece is so soft and comfy it's like being wrapped in a fuzzy blanket! Who wouldn't love that?! In addition to this, the fit is not at all bulky, but very flattering. I love the drawstring you can use to tighten the waist. I usually have a problem with the fit of things because I have a small waist, but a decent chest, so usually things are too baggy in some areas and too loose in others. No problem with this fleece! The fit is great! I'm about 5'3" and around 135 lbs, the XS fits perfectly! The only "issue" I had was that the color is not what is pictured for the Navy. Online it appears to be a dark, rich, almost midnight blue color, but in reality it's more of a washed out navy, like the color of jeans. It's not terrible, just not what I expected. It's just so comfy I can't complain about it!

Comfortable and mobile. Super cozy, my favorite fall/winter jacket

This little jacket is lightweight, soft and warm. I bought it to wear at work because I get chilled with air vents blowing over my head. It keeps me warm and comfortable while I'm working. I purchased a size larger than I would normally buy, because I knew there would be occasions when I would be putting this on over a sweater and I wanted to make sure I had good sleeve length and arm movement.

I love this jacket for fall and winter. It is light enough that I do not get too hot, and is thick enough to keep me warm in the winter! If you have to walk outside a lot like I do, such as on a college campus, this jacket is perfect for you!

Very disappointed in this purchase. Runs very large and the quality is subpar. My daughter will not wear it.

Very soft & comfortable, but I expected the medium to be slightly smaller

I currently live in Germany. It starts getting somewhat chilly around the end of August. I wanted a fleece jacket that could be used for those chilly days and for layering once it gets colder. This is the perfect fleece for that. It's very soft and very warm. I ordered the Charcoal Heather with the pink zipper and it looks just like it's pictured.

I was a little disappointed when I received this jacket in the mail because I was expecting a red jacket and the hibiscus red is actually pink. It looks more like the hot coral picture than the red - it's bright. I kept it because it was cozy and I didn't feel like sending it back.

This is perfect for the winter or whenever there is a chill. I normally wear this to work because the hospital is always chilly. I though the sweater might be too snug so I bought a size up which is a little big but I can put another sweater under if its really cold out. I bought the black one and the color was just right, only thing I would have liked were zippers for the front pockets, if i bent down and had something like my phone in my pocket it would fall out which was annoying. Other than that I would by more colors

The jacket is larger than the same size Columbia jacket from 2 years ago. The sleeves are an inch longer and it is looser. So the small was somewhat baggy for someone 5'3" 112 lb size 2-4. The material is fuzzier than the previous fleece, but comfortable. The color is different from the website -- Razzle was a almost pink rather than purple -- more like an orchid color. Despite the slight disappointment, it has two inside pockets, as well as zipper side pockets, features that are getting difficult to find, especially at $35. So, despite disliking the color and the fit, I will keep it.

Do not purchase if you're not willing to spend at least 10 minutes learning how to RE-zipper: There is somewhat of a knack that usually works -- but you must be completely relaxed/focused/and have plenty of time/and expect one day very soon to be left out in the cold UNzippered. And Don't choose Charcoal Heather as it sheds onto any color that's lighter than it is and makes your apparel appear soiled; very miniscule particles rub off. Definitely up a size--I'm 102 lbs. and thankfully, chose large, due to other reviewers. Oh! and the one-sided 'Cord-Tightening-Lock' doesn't. You can simply slid it up and down without using the release. I'm only keeping it as it's too late in the season - but as soon as I see them in the stores - this one is history. And so is Columbia.

This is now my go-to fleece jacket when the weather is a little bit cool. The first day I got it I tried it on and then ended up wearing it around the house for the remainder of the day because it was so comfortable! The fit is contoured to your shape so I did not have extra fabric bunched around my waist as I do with some fleece jackets.

Love this fleece jacket, just the right warmth and not bulky. Purchased in the navy color, which goes with everything. Sizing is true to size.

I chose charcoal heather color for this jacket and I love it. It's stylish and warm. Frankly speaking, the fleece is not as soft as the North Face fleece jacket, but it's very reasonable at this promotion price. However, I have difficulties when zipping the jacket as separable open end teilbar of the jacket is too short; I have to hold one side firmly when pulling up the zip, it takes time as I always fail to pull up the zip. Therefore, I would suggest the company to modify the zip for customers' convenience. Overall, I'm satisfied with the coziness of the jacket and the promotion price.

I bought two coats since I have used and abused my original one that I've had for a few years. The one thing that I loved about my original one is the fact that I could tighten the waist straps. With the new design, the straps are a waste. The clips won't hold for more than two seconds. So frustrating. If I could return them (I washed them before I realized the problem), I would do so in a heartbeat. So disappointed.

I love these flexible-season fleece jackets, and tend to grab them for travel, when I have to run out on errands, or into the garden. Even in winter, with a scarf they're comfy and good for layering. I had a problem with a zipper failing on an earlier one (and I STILL wear it), but hope that won't recur with the latest I bought. The pretty pastel colors tend to get a bit dingy over the years, so if you don't want age to show, get darker colors.
