Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ Full Zip

I was told at my work that I could wear a fleece jacket during my shift to keep warm, but the style and color had to follow certain parameters. I saw this one on line and ordered it assuming the picture shown was what I was actually getting. When it arrived, I noticed the logo was white and not the same color of the jacket as shown. Subsequently, I could not wear this to work and felt I just wasted money on something I would not normally wear. Fortunately, instead of going through the hassle of making a trip to the post office to return it, a friend suggested I use a marker and just color the logo to match the jacket. The jacket is a bit snug for it's size but otherwise it works.

I enjoy this jacket. It is a simple everyday fleece. I love the two zipped pockets.

I really love these Columbia sweaters. They are very warm and soft and just comforting to wear everywhere and anywhere.

I am very pleased with this product. It is the perfect mark between a light jacket and a winter coat. Very breathable and allows me to move freely. Just the other day I wore it while shooting some hoops outside and was extremely comfortable. Definately a great investment.

I expected the navy blue to be darker than it is, but I am still happy. At first I was worried it was too small because the sleeves and bottom edge hit right where they are supposed to, and I'm used to having long sleeves and long shirts. Very warm, and versatile.

Exactly..what I wanted! Very warm even in the wind.

Overall the jacket I got was amazing and everything I wanted it to be. My one complaint is that the elastic that is supposed to tighten the bottom of the jacket doesn't usually stay and goes back to the regular fit after about 30 minutes. That does not, however, ruin the jacket for me and I still love it and wear it just about everyday. I also like how Columbia has a wider variety of colors. All the girls on campus with North Faces have pretty much the same three colors. I have not seen anyone on campus with my jacket color yet, which is nice.

I've bought two jackets from northface and they never fit right everywhere...too big in the waist or the sleeves. So i decided to buy one from Columbia and i'm much happier with this one. sleeves are still a bit big ( i ordered a small and i'm 104 lbs at 5'2 )but i've been wearing it everywhere.

Loved the color but..... I had recieved this same style fleece 3-4 yrs ago in a size Lg. So I decided to order one size up (XL) to accommodate for a small weight gain but when I compared it (one on top of the other) the new XL was the same size as the old Lg so I had to send it back. I'm looking forward to receiving the replacement because it is the perfect "tween" season cover up.

I love the comfort and fit of the jacket. Its great for cooler weather.

I bought the jacket as a gift for my wife because we love Columbia products. My only complaint is that I ordered it in black and they delivered blue. Fortunately she liked the color.

Love this jacket for spring or fall. Good quality. My only complaint is that it the sleeves are a bit short, but I have very long arms. Will still keep it.

I was bummed about the jacket I ordered. The color was brighter than it looked when I ordered it and it ran smaller than the Columbia jacket I have now in the same style and size. I definately want another Columbia jacket though. I love them and everyone in my house has at least one. I wish I would have went to a store though, now I am out shipping charges.

The jacket is very warm. The sleeves are a bit long. The color isnt as vibrant as shown. Its more muted. All in all very happy with it!

I like this style jacket very much, however it is a little long for me. I need a petite length. I found it necessary to return this item since I requested the color lime and I believe I got an apple green color?? I had seen the lime color in a store and I don't believe I received the same green.

Love the Jacket! Color is a little lighter then the color shown online!!! It took awhile to get here! Not very quick! Overall Love the Jacket

Love the color and the way it fits. Very comfortable and is exactly what I wanted.

I just bought this in the plum color for a spring trip hiking in England. Fairly new to outdoor pursuits and was looking for a more heavy-duty fleece than the kind I usually get at discount stores. This has totally delivered, in fact it's too warm to wear in my Atlanta office for very long so I know it will be great for cool days and nights outside! I took off one star because I feel like it could be slightly sleeker but overall a great combo of looks and performance. I'll be glad it is layerable.

I bought my first Columbia fleece in October of 2010. It was the gray one. I loved it so much I decided I need a few more. I now have 3 the charcoal gray, corange, and a bright blue one. I wear one of theme to work everyday because cashiering can get a little chilly from time to time especially when near the door. I can't wait to purchase more of these! Absolutely love them!

while looking at the fleece online i got really excited about it and couldnt wait to get and when i got it i was kind of disappointed cus it looked black on the website and it was more of a washed out black in person and i also thought it was gunna be softer and thicker. but even though its light it still keeps me warm which is the important part i just should of got another color.

This is really cozy and warm, fits well with a light shirt under. Washed well. I got the blue - great color. Long arms which I like.

I bought this fleece because I own a Columbia jacket that I love, and I wanted a fleece as well. The inside layer of my jacket wasn't real warm to wear without the outer-layer and I thought I could just buy this fleece and put it on the inside of my coat instead of the one that it came with. This is not the case. The zipper doesn't flip to the inside like it does on the fleece that come with other interchangeable jackets. I still love this fleece and wear it all the time! Great Buy!!!

I thought that the material was going to be thicker but it is too thin wear alone on very cold days. The arms are nice and long. The jacket is very roomy, I could almost wear the next smaller size.

I bought this jacket for my mother and I as well just recieved my own. The jacket is great quality and is perfect for the fall and winter weather! My mother got the brown and I got the "shimmer" blue color and they go great with everyday outfits. However it is a little short on the length, I wish it was just a littler longer.

Didn't like this jacket as much as my fast-trek, but it is still great quality.
