Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ II Long Hoodie

No linger so its basically a sweater can wear something warm under

Liked the warmth, length and feel of this hoodie. A great layering piece but the Dark Nocturnal looked like blue to me. I was hoping for a lighter black.

The only problem is the color, looks nothing like the photo! Marionberry in person is straight up purple! Its fine but not what i was hoping for. Otherwise great jacket, soft, true to size and great length

Perfect jacket for fall and the cooler temps. Love the longer jacket body and the hood if needed.

Nice jacket, I like the longer length and bright color. Wish the fabric was a little softer and more luxe, but overall it's a good fall and spring jacket for CO weather.

I ordered the marionberry color which looked like a shade of maroon in the photo. It isn't even close. It's purple, with a slight maroon cast to it. The fit is fine, the material is fine, but it's definitely not the color I expected. I do like the longer length.

Love these long jackets. They're perfect for Potential weather.

It's a super cute. The jacket it does cover my bum. It's pretty snug though, I got a medium and wish I would have gotten a large. I usually wear medium in Jackets in Columbia.

Not the exact fit as picture but not bad. It runs a little too big.

Longer than pictured. I'm 5'7". Nice weight. I ordered up a size (large) for layering but probably didn't need to.

This is a nice jacket but not really what I was looking for. I wanted an indoor-weight fleece full zip that was a tunic length. This is heavier with more substantial zippers on both the front and the pockets. Definitely for an outdoor top layer. Too bulky/heavy to be a mid layer. It will still work for New England fall and spring top layer that covers my butt. I will keep this but keep looking

Super soft, comfy sweater but too long. I'm 5'4'', 140 lbs, I purchased a medium and it's much longer than it looks on the model. For me it reaches the end of my index finger when my hands are at my sides. I like how soft and loose it is with a slight fitted look, it's a nice feminine shape. I like it enough to keep it but it bothers me how long it is. I would have liked it a couple inches shorter.

I love Columbia Jackets, I have ordered an XL windbreaker and its too big, so I decided to order this one in L and now its too small. I will keep it to use it unzipped but cant find my size, still love the lenght and fabric

A little small for a size large. I will wear this for a while in Spring.

I would agree with other reviews of this item. The material, while thick and plush, is stiff and not as soft as it looks. The zipper is difficult to get started and has to line up "just so" to zip at all. I could see the zipper failing pretty quickly from constant false starts and tugging. That said, this is a sturdy piece that fits great for a tall gal. I am 6' and 195 hourglass and the Large size fits really well. I ordered a size down. I would give 5 stars if the zipper issue was resolved. As is, I would not be upset replacing the zipper at this price point.

I love this fleece. It is warm, about a medium+ weight. It is very well made and has great features such as the hood and a solid zipper that zips from the bottom too. I bought the medium (5'2" 153) and am usually between a medium and a large; the medium fits perfectly form fitting (but if you like a looser fit the large will work great). I have two small issues with this jacket. The black color is not black enough. In fact I thought I mistakenly bought the grey and bought a second one (I love it so much and wanted a second one anyway). But it is the same non-black. My sister has one of the very old same style that is very black and has an Columbia directly embroidered (mine has a tag sewn on). So I can see they've changed over time. I just find the label interesting. It isn't a con for me. My second issue is the length of the sleeves. I need to fold about three inches of sleeve underneath. I guess it's hard to make a jacket that fits everyone and the sleeve length is probably perfect for many people. Despite the two things that I don't like, the positives outweigh these negatives by far. It is well made, comfortable, soft, warm, very functional, and looks great.

It was very cozy in the winter season. I would recommend this to my friends

Excellent quality, fits perfectly. Warm and cozy. I love the style and cut of the hoodie, very flattering for the female body. Only complaint I have is that the colour is not a dark black, it looks washed out

Warm, good thickness but material not as expected. It is a little rough to touch compared to the winter pass jacket. Sleeves are longer, a little tricky to zip up with the double zip. I don't think it needs a double zipper. I am not happy with the quality of the fabric, but I like the length so I am keeping it.

A good lightweight fleece. I usually have trouble knowing whether or not to order a size small or medium, I decided to go with a size small when I ordered it, and it fits perfectly!

Comfy and warm fleece jacket. Like the longer length. Only CON: Does not block cold breezes at all! If it is "still" outside, jacket is great, but any cold breezes or wind....brrrr.....goes right through jacket!!!

Purchased the Spruce color in the Benton Springs II Long Hoodie, in a Size XL, my usual size in an Active Fit Hoodie. This Hoodie measures 23.5 inches armpit to armpit measured lying flat, zipped up, of which should help those of you whom are undecided on what size to purchase. It does have an A-line shape toward the bottom, of which is too wide for me, and measures 25 inches from seam to seam, lying flat. Keeping it, as it is so soft and cozy feeling, and I do love the longer length. Not sure if I would purchase it again, unless the width at the bottom were not so wide.

This is my second fleece from Columbia. I really like the warmth of it and I like the longer length. There is something a little weird about the fit, but nothing I can't live with.

Love how it kept me warm through the fall but with Chicago's 30 degree but it feels like 20 degree with windchill weather, the wind just blew through it. Probably with a windbreaker or a more shielding jacket it would be very warm. I recommend for non-windy days!

I bought this jacket for the length. I like it ok. It would be better with a draw string at bottom (flares out a wee bit)the zipper is awful. I can't even get it to zip. Trying to chat with someone about a return is impossible. I called,had them return my call due to being 25th in line of course missed the return call(was at work)bottom line.....think I'm stuck with a jacket that I can't get zipped!!
