Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ Full Zip

I got this jacket in a size small, color bright bluet. The bright bluet color on the site is deceiving. I thought it was going to be a royal blue, but it is actually a light purple-blue. The size small is quite large on me. I thought this jacket would fit a bit tighter. Other than that, it is warm and comfy. I would get a size smaller if I order another in the future.

I was expecting this to be warmer since this was described as an updated version of the classic Benton Springs jacket, which I've owned in the past. I ordered the black and beet color and they were not as dark. I do like the soft feel of the fleece and it does not pile like other fleece jackets. I will have to wear this jacket with a second layer to feel comfortable outside.

Too heavy - awkward fit

Product is great but the color is too pink. Not as shown in a orange / red color. Would love it if it was the orange/red color.

Was disappointed in fit, baggy, none fitted, very square/bulky appearing.

I've got a faulty one. That's a shame. There is no loop in the sweater to hang it on, which is also strange. The emblem is sewn on upside down!

I bought another Benton Springs full zip fleece jacket a year ago and the difference is day and night between that one and this one I just bought. The fleece on the latter jacket feels different: Pile feels smooth and of a cheap, thin quality. My earlier Benton Springs full zip fleece jacket is so much better in feel and warmth. I have washed it so many times since I bought it and it has held up well. I am honestly not so sure this current one will be able to match the durability or if it will shrink as the material feels so inferior.

Runs small runs very small Kskskkskskss kskskksksks

The XL Women Size is too small looks like this is the girls size. I can’t even put my arms in the sleeves. And the fabric is too thin also the length is too short. Not like the North Face I ordered long time ago was perfect and still using it.

The quality of this fleece Columbia jacket has deteriorated .... Its much thinner than it used to be (no warmer than a sweater now) and it runs a full size smaller than it used to. I have always ordered this jacket in a medium, but now a medium fits like a small. Sending back. Terrible shame how what used to be a reliable company is now on my no- buy list.. Not much good left out there these days.

It's ok.however the color of it isn't black. It's more of an dusty gray. I didn't want that but this is just to keep me warm when I get cold at work.

Smaller than expected and had hole in sleeve that I had to sew. I did not want to bother sending back. But very disappointed in the quality anymore.

Runs very small & color if off more orangish than red

The color was supposed to be navy but it's actually more of a dark teal.

I love Columbia fleece jackets. However the color wasn't actually red - it was more orange.

I purchase these fleece jackets every year and this one is so disappointing. The sleeves are not set in, the arms are bulky with elastics (ugh), it has no shape and I look like a linebacker. What has happened to my nice, slim fitting fleece?

Orders 2 zip up fleece jackets for gifts. Tried the royal blue on one (size Large). The blue was not as vibrant as pictured (not as pretty in person) and the zipper popped offtrack and split from the bottom up the first time I zipped it all the way up! Runs largerlong arms, roomy around hips.

I ordered a Navy, received some color between blue & green.

The material is too thin, not for a cold or freezy day

Fleece quality is good. Have 2 others in size Medium that fit well. This new one in Medium is way too small. Now I have to pay to ship it back. Reordered a Large and that fits like my old Medium.

All of my jackets are Columbia but this one is very thin and feels like very cheap material compared to my other 4 Columbia jackets. We are a little disappointed.

I thought they'd be softer than they are. A little disappointed

sleeves are too long; bust is too tight.

Very disappointed with this product. The material isn't what I expected from a fleece. It's like a brushed felt material and is fussy, but not very soft and not at all plush. Most disappointing was the length. It's way too short to be comfortable for a tall person (I'm 5'9). I kept trying to pull it down to avoid the draft on my lower back. I tightened the stretchy cord at the hem, but that just made it ride up more towards the natural waist. I wore this once and was so focused on how uncomfortable I was due to the length, that I won't reach for it again. Very pretty color and it fit true to size, but ugh, I don't want to have to keep messing with it to try to feel comfortable.

beware this isn't navy more or a medium blue i got it to go with my work uniform and it's completely different
