Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ II Long Hoodie

A bit snug around the middle. I am 76 and wear size L. I use it for a bathrobe on cold mornings.

Love the length and feel of this jacket for both everyday wear and winter outdoor activities. The hood feels large enough to fit a hat underneath without being tight, and the zipper comes up high enough that the hood wont fall down in windy weather. The material is a medium weight, not super stretchy or thin, but fitted just enough that I should be able to fit a rain coat over it if needed. Ordered the blue Vista color which was exactly as pictured. 122 lbs, 54: Small fits great, a medium would be too big.

Very nice jacket, soft. Longer length is nice too. Returned it only because it fit very snug. Runs a bit small.

Runs small! I am a size 2-4, but like things to be roomy. I bought a medium and it fits quite close. I am keeping it because I love it and don't plan to layer underneath, but definitely size up.

Color is excellent as shown in catalog. Love the length on this jacket and the added hood is a big plus. I purchased the Medium though I would have preferred the large if it was available as I like more room but the fit actually shows your form as opposed to other more boxy styles. I would not be able to wear anything bulky underneath. I would recommend Columbia outerwear as they are well made and made to last.

I love this fleece hoodie . It fits perfectly . I am 53 a new 133 # it is very warm and cozy. M.

I sent the first one back due to a snug fit. The reorder, in a larger size, fits fine. It is just what I was after. I like having a hooded fleece due to the local weather.

I'm so glad they came out with a tunic and hooded style of my favorite zip up! This is definitely more fitted than the traditional Benton Springs though. There is a seam that runs under your ribs to the center of your back that is a bit annoying. If you are more of an hourglass it will probably not be as annoying or tight, but I was not blessed with that shape. I'm 5'6", 180 pounds (42"x36.5"x44") and normally a large. I ordered this in a large and x-large and ended up keeping the large. The sleeves on the x-large were far too long and I felt frumpy. The collar with the hood is a bit awkward if you don't have it zipped, but I love that the hood is actually usable, not just for decoration like so many women's hoods are. If this wasn't as fitted, I think I would give it 5 stars.

Beautiful dark blue! The proportions are perfect for me. Love the length and that its fittednot boxy. Great jacket for the chill of SoCal.

Warm and comfy - nice as an extra layer on cooler days without the bulk of a coat - I wish the sleeves had a liner so they didn't stick to sweatshirts

These are awesome and comfortable jackets. I bought the black in small for heavier sweaters and the dark blue and marionberry in XS for lighter sweaters or T-Shirts. I also luv the zipper pockets for my phone and keys. Keeps me warm when I walk the beach in CA or my Horse Ranch in OR. Its a great fit with the length and the sleeves are long enough. Keeps me warm in cold and windy days. I am 53 and 107lbs and these jackets are true to size. I highly recommend it. Great price too. They also wash well.

Runs a tad small. I have the same jacket in a different length, same size & this one is tighter across the chest.

This is a nice thick, long, structured fleece. Unfortunately it runs very small. I ordered my usual size medium- the waist is very narrow but the arms are quite loose. I've ordered 3 Columbia fleece jackets this season and the sizes have ranged so much. One was excessively large, one too small, and one a perfect medium. Unsure if I will return/exchange for a larger size or just wear it unzipped.

live in Florida on the water. It can get cold and windy here. One does a lot of water related activities on the water and at the beach. This jacket is the perfect cover up and all round necessity. In a boat, walking the beach, walking to at from the pool, fishing, kayaking, biking, riding in a convertible and at night this fleece does it all. The hoodie stays UP when needed ! The pockets are zippered no lost items. The two way main zipper will close at your waist for airflow when walking and cool off when needed . Outstanding Columbia quality! Looking forward to more colors to go with my Columbia leggings and water shoes. Water bottles from Columbia are top notch as well , especially with added drinking top.

Great quality, wonderful fabric but made incredibly small. I normally take a medium but ordered a large and I couldn't even get it done up.

I live in Florida on the water. It can get cold and windy here. This jacket is perfect for riding in a convertible( I put the hood up and it does NOT blow off ! ). Use the jacket as a cover up over my swimsuit when I go to the pool . I walk north on the seawall to the pool . Love the length on this jacket. I can bike in it. I can kayak in it. Great all round fleece. Zippers on pockets, main zipper travels so one can open jacket from the top down and the bottom up so one has closure at the waist only which is wonderful! Perfect for walking and air conditioning.

The style is nice, but the fabric doesn't seem like it's high quality. There is no stretch to this felt-like fabric. I also found the area around the armpits too tight. I would love to return this item, but it's not only time-consuming, but it will cost me $6. There's no free return shipping. I have the option of going to one of the 3 retail stores that are 45 minutes or more from me. Painful purchase. I should have bought from Land's End, EMS, or LL Bean. This jacket was on sale so I caved in, but I don't expect this jacket to last for very long. This fabric feels like felt, not a high quality fleece. I would not even call this fleece, but it's more like processed plastic and it will probably eventually rip when stressed. I didn't inspect the materials well enough. I'm so not happy with this purchase, but the return policy is complicated and I don't have a car.

This fleece jacket covers everything I look for in an upgraded hoodie. I love the longer length and the way the collar fits around my neck and stays up. I typically wear size medium but bought the size large based on reviews and it fits perfect, the sleeves are longer and it gives me room to wear a sweater underneath for cooler days. Having the hoodie is nice for cold walks around my neighborhood. Im very glad I bought it and recommend it if you are looking for a longer hoodie with more coverage.

Unfortunately I had to return I went by the size chart I have a 38 chest and went by ordered a large but it was too small but you didn’t have in XL. Jacket is well made especially liked the dual zipper

Love this jacket. Lightweight, warm, and can zip up around the neck so I dont have to wear a scarf or gator. And the longer length is perfect!

I normally wear a small but this was pretty snug with a long sleeved T-shirt underneath. Definitely size up one size!

Did not like fit. Bought this as a Christmas gift for mom and she didnt like the fit. She normally loves whatever I gift her from Columbia but this time she did not. Sweater appears to be not put together right. In her words, seems scraps were sewn together to make this. The medium fit was awkward. We will be exchanging it.

Jacket was well made unfortunately the sizing was off I have a 38 chest so I ordered a large, but was tight across the chest. Since they didnt have an XL available I had to return. Will have to wait until the XL comes back in stock. My advice is if you are near the measurements size up.

I love this fleece jacket. Its longer and keeps you warm. I wear it everywhere. Washes up wonderfully. I have 2 of them now

Good fleece, fits well, possible issue with zipper
