Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ Full Zip

My friend and I are the same size and she told me to get the same as her. However, I have checked recent reviews and saw that you should order one size up. I tried on a medium in a store and was too small. I ordered a size up, and it fits perfectly!

Very soft and warm fleece, well made. Would buy again!

This jacket is pretty warm and super soft. I do wish it was a tad bigger however, so that I can wear multiple layers underneath without the fit being snug.

I'd like to order this jacket in the Foxglove color. What's the actual descriptive color of it? ... I ordered a jacket in deep raspberry and the color is VERY different from the picture.

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!!!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

I have been wearing this particular type of fleece jacket for many years in one form or another. I purchase one or more nearly every year and I have also given them for Christmas gifts--they are enjoyed and loved by all of us. I was not 'crazy' about the color selections being so light colored nor did I think my current one is Hot Coral--it is more apricot/peach colored, almost bordering on neon. I'm not really a neon person. However, it is still really warm and comfortable and I wear my new one or one of the others everyday, year round. I will check back in early fall to see what colors you have as my dark green and dark plum are beginning to wear a bit--I've been wearing them for 3 years now. I would definitely recommend them to any one wanting a fleece jacket or warm fall/spring jacket.

This jacket was a little thinner than I expected. I purchased it for cool weather. Hopefully, it will keep me warm in upper 50's temperatures.

I have had several Columbia jackets in the past and they fit PERFECT! The sleeves were exactly the right length for me and it had a very form fitting appearance. These last two jackets I just received were definitely of a lower quality than the past. The sleeves on this jacket are WAY too long and make the jacket look like it doesn't fit me. Even the fleece seems to be thinner and of lower quality than those in the past. The price was great but I feel a little disappointment with the quality.

I'm of average build with kinda broad shoulders and ordered by the waist/hip guidelines. The jacket fits great and I love the slimmer waistline. BUT the sleeves are so long I had to roll them up 2 x just to get my hands out, which greatly detracts from the appearance. Haven't decided if I'm gonna pay to have it altered. It is a soft, warm, comfortable jacket and great for Florida's chilly/windy days.

It's not as thick and warm as I expected. It's a bit large, but good overall.
