Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ Full Zip

Fit just as expected, and is warm!

I purchased this for my daughter who absolutely loves how comfortable it feels. She comments about its comfort every time she wears it. She specifically wanted a synched bottom hem and was also happy with the elastic in the cuffs.

Got this to replace a Columbia fleece I'd had for nearly 8 years. Compared to my old one, this one has a slimmer fit that's very flattering and is also softer and a little longer in the torso. I do wish the sleeves were maybe an inch or two longer but I'm tall with long arms so it probably won't be an issue for others. It's very cozy and is made of great quality; I'm sure it will last for 8 years or more just like my last one!

I love this jacket! It is a little short in the torso, but I'm also really tall, so I'm used to it. It really is the softest Columbia jacket I've ever had, and I've had my fair share of jackets. Also, I love how long the sleeves are, they keep my hands warm when I'm walking to and from class.

I have 4 of this jacket in different colors. Love the fit,style and comfort. I only wish you had it in a true royal blue color.I purshased the clematis blue which I felt was the closest to royal.

Thank you for your note about my good looks and invitation to write a review. I am not good looking but my wife is. The jacket fits her well and is the 3rd Columbia purchase this year. Actually five purchases if you count my Columbia coat and her mother's Columbia jacket. Happy in Brownsburg IN

This is a nice lighter weight pile jacket. The fit is modestly tapered but allows plenty of room for a lighter long sleeve layer underneath. There is also plenty of hip room, which can be tightened with an elastic cord for slimer bodies. The pile quality is good (very soft), The jacket is very compactable for carrying in a pack as an extra layer. I have 2 of these and would not hesitate to buy another if needed.

This coat was perfect for blocking the wind and keeping me warm. I am 5'6" tall and weigh 145. I got a medium and it was a little big, other than that it was a perfect coat!

I liked the jacket but i found the arm area a little tight. I can recommend the jacket with reservation. if you have arms with muscle the jacket will fit tightly in that area.

Really excellent product. I needed something for this Northeast unpredictable Fall weather-where I could layer if need be....this has worked perfectly. It also is a great color-sort of a rustish/barn red, really pretty. It fit me perfectly as a 5'6" slim woman.

I love this jacket - it's warm, comfortable, well made and fits perfectly. The color (beet red) is exactly what I had in mind.

This is my first Columbia purchase. I purchased two different Colors of the full zip benton springs jacket. I wanted a layer of warmth for under sweatshirts and my winter jacket. These items Fit the bill.

This is nice and I am very happy with the BEET color. I will say though that my older model of this fleece is a bit thicker, better quality fleece. Also the size is smaller. I took a medium in the old model and got the L based on reviews here and I am very glad I did as it fits well.

I have been buying Benton springs for years. I have at least a dozen. I will not be buying any more. My latest purchase was the "updated" version in dark plum. This jacket is very uncomfortable, and a whole size smaller in the chest and upper arms. It is very tight under the arms and across the shoulders. The hip is the same same size, and makes for an odd shape. The fleece is very thin and poor quality. "Updating" was not a good idea, it ruined a wonderful product.

My daughter loves Columbia. This was a perfect gift for her birthday. The beet color is very pretty and she loves it.

Bought this as a birthday gift because I love mine so much. My friend loved it, size, material, construction was what I expect from Columbia. I have never been sorry with a purchase of these products.

Bought this for my wife. She really liked the classic fit and the quality.

Very comfy and fits great! love it :)

As with all Columbia products - "awesome"! PLEASE, PLEASE BRING back ROC pants - at least for women!!!!!!!! They are the best, most comfortable, most functional item of clothing I have ever purchased!

I live in the Midwest and I bought this to be my Fall and Spring jacket. It will be perfect for that. I like that it has no hood, since I don't often need to wear one. Some other key features are the cuffs around the wrists (not too tight), the tie at the bottom if you want to cinch it up a bit, and I love the covered zippered pockets. I often carry my phone in my pocket and I like to zip it up for security, but I find it uncomfortable when the zippers are exposed. These are covered and the fabric is soft to boot. Great jacket!

I love this jacket, it is so soft and I liked the length of the sleeves.

It fits. It's a beautiful color (geyser). Warm and practical. Love the pockets! I bought one for my sister, a brunette, in red. Just gorgeous!

Very nice casual sweater in a soft,cozy fleece. I got it in gray, so it goes with just about anything. The fit is great. I am a true medium with med/large hips. It falls at mid hip and fits snugly there but not too tight. I will wear it lots.

I bought one of these fleece zip-front's at Fred Meyers in turquoise. Loved it when I tried it on as it has a flattering fit, has elastic at the wrists and a high collar which many zip front fleece's do not have. It was so cozy and I liked it so much I ordered another in Afterglow, a lovely rosey pink, directly from the Columbia website. I have both with me on our vacation in the Canadian Rockies and they are perfect for the nippy mornings and evenings.

I expected a Columbia fleece to be good quality. This jacket is not as good as LL Bean's jackets. It runs small and fabric is thin.
