Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ Full Zip

Very disappointed in the color. I ordered Navy and what came is a very different color then shown. It is a very strange blue that can not be in any way called Navy. Even the men's so called Navy is not Navy and is completely different than females Navy. Very strange.

These jackets are not as warm as I thought they would be. I have a Columbia liner from a 3-n-1 coat I purchased 12 years ago that is much warmer. It's still my go-to for daily wear.

The small fits well through the chest/torso, but the arms arms are huge and baggy. I have normal sized arms, (I am 135 lbs, 5'6") so I'm not sure why the arms can't be more fitted like the rest of the jacket. I have other Columbia sweatshirts and such, and non of them have big arms. This will be going back to the store. =(

I wear a lot of navy, so I thought this would be a great to throw on when I'm chilly. It is not as dark navy as it is in this picture. It is lighter and smokier. I was expecting a dark denim shade of navy. Definitely not what I received.

I own another Columbia fleece sweater and was really excited to buy another but I was disappointed with this purchase. I ordered the black color and it looks like a faded black not the way it looks in the picture. The fit is slightly loose which I don't mind but I just didn't like the color. I really wanted a dark black color but instead it seems like I'm wearing an older faded sweater.

The fleece is too thick so it isn't very comfortable.

I ordered this jacket in black but I noticed that it looked charcoal gray when I received my package. I put the jacket next to my husband's black Columbia fleece vest and it was clear that my jacket wasn't black. I did decide to keep the jacket because it was a great price.

They are too cozy but they runs too large

Though the Columbia fleece jackets I own are XL, I am returning this one because it does not fit the same. The style/cut seems to have changed and this jacket is snug. Love the color, however, and will re-order in a 1X.

Product was of good quality but somewhat tight and not able to zip. Order 1 size larger than normal. I wish I had. Love the bold purple color.

I bought this jacket in ruby red. Red is one of the colors allowed with my daughters school uniform. apparently "ruby red" is pink! Don't order ruby red unles your looking for a magenta jacket!

I always wear a XL in my Columbia wear. So unfortunately, this item ran too large. Nice jacket though. Super soft. The issue I do have, is having to pay postage to have the item returned.

Thus Coral Flame is a much hotter, bright color than it appears online. I am returning it.

I read the great reviews and loved my previous Columbia fleece jacket, but I really didn't like this one. I ordered this online in black and turqouise and returned it. First of all, the material reminds me more of felt than fleece. I thought it looked cheap and cheesy, especially in a bright color. I also didn't like how it had the elastic band along the bottom. It just looks very out-dated and old ladyish (btw I am 32 mom of 3). I returned it in the store for a different jacket that was a little more expensive and am very very happy with my new one.

I ordered this in black and when I got it in the mail it was definitely more of a dark gray as opposed to the black pictured online. I wear a small in pretty much all my other jackets and felt like I was swimming a little in this. I'm 5'5" and about 125 so it was a little big. The fit doesn't really taper in on the sides like it does in the pictures. I'm gonna try to exchange this for a smaller size and hope that it does the trick.

I was disappointed because I thought this was red.. I really need a red columbia.. but whatever! It's cute but it's more like a orange/pink.. I only kept it because people said so many times how cute it was, and they loved the color... Oh well, just have to pay more attention to what I buy. Overall I'm a columbia collector.. so it's going to used no matter what!

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 was hoping to purchase the type of fleece jacket that Bon-Ton in Doylestown sells, but was out of stock. This purchase is okay, a bit bulky, but it will keep me warm! thanks

I was disappointed with this fleece. It did not feel as soft or as well made as previous fleeces I've owned. That said, I feel like you would get what you paid for. The previous fleeces I've owned were gifts but comparing the prices online they are 3-4x the price of this and felt much softer and lasted for 10+ years. If you need an inexpensive fleece to keep you warm, this would definitely do it. Also, it took a REALLY long time to get to me, like 10 days. And then I waited a few days to return it, and realized I'll barely get it back in time to get my refund!

It's a great jacket but it runs really large. If I had gotten at least one size smaller I would probably get more use out of it. I love the navy blue color.

As usual, this Columbia Benton Springs product is flawless as far as it's quality, fit and function. It's comfortable, soft and will probably last me many, many years, as have the other ones I possess. However, I purchased it online and unfortunately the color I chose, Red Hibiscus (which was a compromise since the color I wanted was not in stock) is MUCH more glowey and even slightly psychedelic, than the one presented online. I thought I was buying a mellow pink, and have landed up with a neon light which I can only wear within the confines of my house! I live out of the U.S., and the product was opened and it's labels removed before it left the U.S. on it's way to me, so I cannot return it.

The jacket was 'as represented' online and would have worked great except that the sizing was wrong for me. The entire jacket was too big, especially the sleeves - they were way too long. I have returned the product. By the time I paid for shipping to and from, it was not worth my while ordering another size.

I was very excited about receiving my jacket. The color is nice and the material is soft. The only part I am not as satisfied with is the size. I ordered the large and I am finding that it fits pretty snuggly. I was hoping to wear sweaters under it but I am finding that it is not possible.

I ordered a medium and the jacket body fits fine but the sleeves are too long. I am tall and lanky and do not have short arms. So I am not that happy with this jacket. Considering the cost and hassle of a return, I will keep it but would never buy another or recommend it to a friend.

For me this item ran big. With other reviews that I read and the fact that this item is made a bit tapered I ordered a medium. I will have to return it, and I hate returns. I hope it will be a good experience and not to expensive to return.
