Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ Full Zip

I bought my first Columbia Benton Springs Full Zip three years ago. I'm not sure if it was called by this title at the time, but in any case... After wearing it to work only one day, I fell in love with it. I immediately returned to the store and purchased a second one. After three years (of hard work I might add), my fleece jackets started to show signs of wear. I was concerned that the style, fit, or cut of the fleece might have changed after three years, but I was not disappointed. This fleece jacket is so comfortable that I don't want to take it off after I come home. It is warm, soft, and cozy. It fits perfectly through the shoulders, is long enough in the arms (very important to me), and fits perfectly through the midsection. I can't say enough good things about this fleece. I LOVE everything about it. Thank you Columbia!

This is a great coat for spring and fall weather before it gets to cold. Once the cold hits, weather it under a heavier Columbia coat and never get cold again.

It's just a great fitting jacket. My preteen daugther loved it in the Charcoal Heather.

I purchased this jacket last year in the Red Hibicus color (it's adorable!!) and really loved the look and feel. It was a perfect jacket for spring/fall weather. That's why I ended up getting the same one in Navy. The Navy isn't a dark blue, as you expect, but it's a medium-shade blue that looks great with blonde/light brown hair. Also I am 5'3'', size 2, and the XS fits well. It's a little large which I think is a great thing.. you don't want the jacket to cling to you!

Excellent! Size & color are true. Great quality. Would definitely recommend to others.

Columbia was always my choice of fleece and I have literally dozens of them. The new edition is now smaller in size, only has the draw cord on one side and the weight of the fleece has diminished. Not a favorable change at all.

I love these. I had some from last year and just loved them and wanted some add'l colors. I wear them over a nice tshirt with a necklace to dress it up at the office(and stay warm). Also work well as a light layer in spring/fall. They also make a great extra layer under my winter coat- especially when it's below zero - like most of our winter has been in Wisconsin this year! I'm petite, 5 ft tall and about 125 and the womans S fits me just fine.

I love this jacket! I purchased it in a light blue color (I forget which one exactly) and I have gotten so many compliments on it. I love wearing it in all weather, mostly because it is a great light/medium jacket or under a heavier jacket for layering.

I purchased this for my high school daughter. She loves it!

Just what we were looking for. Excellent quality!

Good jacket and great quality

disappointed the color wasn't BLACK more as Grey than Black

My daughter received one of these jackets for Christmas and practically lives in it. I ordered her another for her birthday. I was able to purchase the second one for an outstanding sale price! The order was shipped quickly in quality packaging.

The coat is a neon green, like the color on traffic signs or vests people wear when not trying to get hit by traffic. I will be returning it.

Ordered the geyser color in small. Love the color and the fleece is very comfortable. I would say these jackets run large. Almost wish I would have ordered down a size for a slightly more fitted look but otherwise I love it.

Very Pleased with color and size.

I purchased this jacket for a trip to Alaska this May, and think it will be perfect. It is lightweight and warm and the fit is true to size. If you order this jacket you won't be disappointed.

Love the colour and comfort of the fleece! Fits comfortably and very warm in the cold weather.

I bought 3 fleece jackets from Columbia, 1 Fast trek II and 2 of Benton spring. I love all 3 of mine! stay warm in windy and cold weather :)) Color is very nice too. I got navy blue, whitened lavender, and greyser green. Im 5'7" and 140 lbs, a M size fits me perfectly.

Had I ordered any other color I probably would have been very happy with this jacket, but I was specifically looking for navy, and I did not consider this color navy - it had a little green in it and a gray sheen...I had to send it back. I'm going to recommend, but only if you aren't set on Navy!

I wear several of these sweatshirts. They have lasted for years. Mine are all gray & black, so I decided to get different colors this time. I will be returning all 3 that I ordered. The green was far more pale than the photo. The red was very, very orange, not red at all. The groovy pink was just much to neon, not a nice deep pink as I was hoping. There is a deeper red color that might have worked, but it was only available in plus sizes, at least at the time I ordered. I have been waiting for a nice blue-ish red, not an orange-y red, for years. Help me, Columbia. :- ) Love the sweatshirts. Can't stand these 3 colors.

I bought two of these jackets, one for my daughter and one for myself. We are both very pleased with the quality and fit, and the fleece is very warm. We would definitely recommend this product.

Good fit, true to size and slightly tailored so it's not too bulky. Good extra warmth for chilly mornings on the beach. Not wind proof, but still a good added layer of warmth. Great color selection. Will be great out on the boat this summer in the early mornings!

This is my second Benton fleece. It is excellent in every way. It washes beautifully. The fit is just right (111 lbs, 5'4"), trim and flattering, but there is room for a thick turtleneck underneath. The razzle color is a little brighter than what is pictured on the website.....but really lovely.

This jacket has a nice soft feel to the fleece. It runs large, I had to return the medium and the small is still fairly loose.
