Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ Full Zip

I'm 5'5, 118 and a small is a bit too big, even with another hoodie under it. I ordered the jacket in Columbia Navy and it is way lighter than depicted, but other than that the fleece is extremely comfortable and pretty.

Fleece was lightweight and comfy, which was great. Fit was a little small but thankfully I was still able to zip it at my hips! Sleeve length was fine for me though the sleeves were too loose compared to the body of the jacket; while the body was slim cut (great!), the sleeves were puffy (not so great). Pity about that as I end up looking a little disproportionate... Will be using the fleece in colder weather soon but in a cold hall, it kept me warm.

Love my Benton Springs fleece! I bought a new one to replace a VERY old Columbia fleece that I loved & lasted me many years. I will continue to buy Columbia because they keep me happy! :)

Overall, I am very pleased with the fleece. It keeps me warm in cold weather, and has a good fit as well. I ordered a medium and it fits perfectly. It isn't too fitted, and still leaves enough room for sweater underneath. My only complaint is the color. I ordered black, and it instead is a washed out black/grey color. I expected it to be a jet black. That put aside it is still a good product.

The zipper pull broke off during the first wash. Disappointing because my daughter loves the jacket & paid for it with her own money.

I ordered a "Burnt Henna" color that looked much brighter, almost flourescent, sort of like a hot pink/red combo on the actual jacket than it did on line (looked more like a rasberry on the computer). It was much too bright than what I had expected, so I returned it. However, I do love this fleece. I purchased (4) of this same model three years ago for Christmas gifts and everybody still wears them. They are surprisingly warm for their weight and very comfortable. They are very well built. I actually ended up buying a different color (Light Grape) of this same jacket at a major sporting good store; so I was still able to give it as a Christmas gift, which was very well accepted.

we are very happy with the quality of the 2 jackets we ordered. One was not quite the color she expected (too peachy - rather than redish). So we will keep one and try to make any exchange for the other. Floyds Knobs, IN

Bought as a gift. . . again, great customer service.

I have several Columbia Fleece jackets and ordered this one as a gift. Based on other reviews, I ordered up a size - a medium but when I got it was too big! I returned to the Columbia outlet and got a very nice soft shell jacket instead so all is not lost. The sleeves on this jacket had elastic on the cuffs, which I did not care for - nice color though.

My mother bought this jacket for me in the Wild Melon color for christmas. I loved the color online, but when I got the jacket it was more of a bright pink, which I don't really care for. I've decided to keep the jacket instead of attempting to get another color that I may or may not like. Other than the color I really like the jacket.

Loved the color Beet red . Have other Columbia fleece jackets .great for under vests.I'm a walker in New England want to be warm but not bulky .

Light and warm; comfortable; right size; fits perfect.

Ordered an XL because other reviewers said it ran small. Now I'm stuck with a very oversized jacket because the color I ordered is no longer available. I would say it probably runs true to size. The blueberry jam color is a gorgeous red-violet. Plan on ordering another in a large. Great weight to this fleece jacket.

This jacket in beet is a beautiful color and very warm. It has plenty of room in the arm and shoulders but fits tight in the middle.

My daughter wears med and the coat runs small

This jacket is a thick, well constructed jacket. Excellent quality. It holds it shape. The price is unbeatable.

I love the jacket. I love how it fits the body instead of a square like coat. The only thing i did not like about it was the colors are completely different in person. I got mine in after glow (The pink one) and it is not that color at all. Its still in the pink color family but its very bright and tangerine. But i love the coat in general, very nice.

Didn't realize that this was somewhat form fitting as opposed to boxy style. My fault for not reading the description more carefully. Thought it would be heavier and more adaptable to really cool weather. Fit is a little snug and it will not layer well with anything other than a tee shirt. Haven't decided if I am keeping it or not. Like the color and it seems to be well made. Might be OK for early fall weather, but not when it is cool and windy.

Very nice. Pretty color. very soft. material is a thinner fleece.

It's big, soft, warm and cuddly. Not figure flattering, lol

greate price, warm, comfortable and quick delivery

Bought as a Christmas gift for my campanion..guess I will not know for sure how she will like it until then.

This was a last minute purchase and was well worth it. Warm, soft and with great side pockets. Just runs a bit small.

This jacket is so nice! Great new style, not so boxy as before! Love the quality and warmth!

This is the first Columbia product I ever bought. Since it was for my wife, i was a little circumspect at first. She is slim and not tall and hence getting the right size is always an issue. This to my pleasant surprise fits great. Has a good quality fabric and a nice shimmer to it. It keeps warm and is light weight. Great purchase!
