Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ II Long Hoodie

Love this jacket, so I have bought 3 , usually I wear size L of other jackets, but this jacket size M fit very well.

Love the longer length of this hoodie. The zippers on pockets are really nice. It is a nice and thick fleece great for cooler days.

I will admit this is my first columbia sportswear purchase and I am a fan. Living in a "hot zoned" retail area (HTX) I never really had to purchase cold weather gear. I do frequently travel worldwide and need things suitable for different climates..that being said I was looking for something for a spring trip to Amsterdam, as well as have something that I could use long term for our very mild winter here, and that's when I came across this jacket. It is probably the warmest fleece I have had in a very long time. Very soft, beautiful color (and I dont typically buy light colored clothing) I went based on the sizing guide and purchased a large, and it is a little snug around my chest, and the i was hoping the arm length would be as long as the model on me but it was not. That's ok, lesson learned. I actively wear the jacket, and have received tons of compliments on it. I have since purchased other jackets that I purchased in XL. I even turned my boyfriend onto columbia and he has started purchasing as well. New customer for life, I love this jacket and cant wait to try out more columbia gear!

Bought this fleece to use as an additional layer under my winter coat for extremely frigid days. I can wear another sweatshirt underneath it if needed, and it fits very snug without being restrictive. Otherwise, wearing it just as a hoodie, it fits perfectly with just a tank or tee underneath. A little room to move, but it's not baggy at all. I wear size 16 or L in most brands, and the large fits perfectly. This fleece is very soft, comfortable and warm. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the double zipper. Sometimes it is hard to get it started, usually have to try 2-3 times to get it to zip. Would function much better with a single zipper. Overall very nice and I highly recommend.

I love the length of this hoodie. My only complaint is the sleeves are a bit tight. Not a big deal, but you could not wear a heavy sweater underneath.

I got a large, it fits really good but the arms are a bit tighter then I had anticipated. I love that it's long and that there is a hood. The hood does go far over your forehead, seems quite big. Overall I do love it.

I loved the idea of a longer fleece, but as someone who falls between a petite and regular length size, it is a little too long. That said, it keeps me nice and cozy in my classroom at school!

The fit is snug to your body give you a nice look. Love the material. The only draw back is the sleeves are too long and no elastic or anything on the cuff that would keep the cuff snug to your wrist

I love the length of this jacket but the only problem is that it fits a little to snug no room for a sweater. I usually wear a small but I got a medium because of the reviews, the stitching on the back makes it to snug for me I should of ordered a large ,but they ran out. I will keep it.

My only complaint is, as others have said, that the double zipper is a hassle. But I like the fit so I’m keeping it.

I loved the style and color but sadly it's to small , I can wear it but can't zip it , wanted to exchange for a xl but this color was sold out and it's the color I want so be aware it does run atleast an size small maybe it's the cut I wear a med - large on all jackets but not this one

Im 5'6'' and this goes down over my butt. And it's not tight there.

I normally wear a medium in clothes but get large in coats and jackets. I bought a large and expected to have a little more room for layering. It's not real tight but I won't be able to wear much under it. Took away one star because there is no elastic at the sleeve ends.

This product is super comfortable but they only complaint is that it is not wind proof. When outside you can feel the wind through the fabric. If it's super cold, I wear a coat over it.

I like the longer cut but these run a little big and thicker fabric than I wanted. I usually wear a small in Columbia but needed an XS. Item was returned.

I like this jacket a lot but don't totally love it. For o e, I thought the purple color was darker than it actually is. It also runs a little small. I'm happy with my purchase for the price, though. The longer length is so nice for keeping my butt warm!

Wonderful, cozy jacket. The only problem is the zipper is slightly defective and so it takes a lot of effort to adjust the zipper in its place before you zip it up. I do nevertheless wear it all the time, especially under a down vest.

This is a beautifully fitting jacket but it spares no room for a thicker layering top. I won't be able to wear it with a sweater underneath. A t shirt is it's companion. Long enough sleeves for a 5'10 lady. Covers the butt. Long enough. I had to return mine because the black cherry color I bought almost looked purple and it was not flattering. I bought a black to replace that. Perfect hoodie too.

Excellent for a cold but not windy day

This is a great base-layer jacket. I love it so much that I usually wear it around the house for warmth, too. One huge con of this jacket, however, is the zipper. There are two parts to the zipper, which have to be lined up perfectly to actually zip up. It drives me MAD trying to do this every single time I wear this jacket. The snugglyness always wins out and I keep putting it on again and again, despite the annoying-AF zipper!

I wear this jacket cross country skiing and it keeps me plenty warm and works for casual wear also. The two way zipper is excellent for when you are sitting since the jacket can bunch up otherwise. Also the deep hood is amazing and I wish other jacket makers would take note. I'm 5'8" 160 lbs and I normally wear a medium but I sized up to a larger after receiving the medium and it was a bit snug in the arms which wouldn't allow for any layering.

fits well, keeps me warm

I wear the jacket to my workouts or walking the dog. It's a great casual jacket, too. The fit is good. The only thing I don't really care for is the zipper is stiff so if you zip it up all the way it doesn't lay down and is in my the way of my neck area/cheek.

Very nice, comfortabe fleece jacket! The same fleece material you know and love with the bonus of a longer length as well as a hood! I will say i felt it ran a bit large, if I were to buy it again I would size down.

I was excited to see this long length hoodie because I have a long torso and often find that normal length jackets leave a cold gap round the middle. This one comes down over my rear end. I plan to take this to Europe in April.
