Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ II Long Hoodie

I did not care for the color I got but it is over all pretty cozy. I love how long it is so it covers my butt. I'm cold all the time and this really kept me warm.

Am enjoying this Women's Benton Springs II Long hoodie, as I live in Florida and we get sharp early mornings and sometimes cool evenings. If its windy I just put the hood up. I like the longer length as I seem to get a cold back. The arms are a bit long on me, but I got a large to avoid tightness over the rear end, so had to go for a large - even though I am 5 ft 2 inches tall; so the arm length is commensurate with the size! You cant wear too many wooly sweaters underneath as the arms are not wide - but again for Florida that is not a concern. Its lightweight, but good quality, soft fleece feature is particularly nice in my opinion. I got black which goes well with everything. Like the zip, two way feature as well - when sitting down avoids that pulling across the thighs problem!

My overall opinion of this fleece jackets is favorable. I am 5'5" 135lbs, and the medium fits nicely. I love the longer length of the bodice, it doesn't "sneak up" in the back and keeps my backside covered. The two-way zipper comes in handy, all tunic length zippered garments should have this feature. My only disappointment with this jacket is that I feel the thickness of the fleece should be greater (I can see through it).

Bought a small-a bit snug through the chest, shoulders and upper arms. Warm considering the lighter weight of it. I like the longer length.

This fleece hoodie is great. I like how it fits...not too tight and not too loose. The sleeves are are a bit long on me though. it's lightweight and comfortable with a thin sweater underneath on a fall day. Good for morning walks. It's not the best for windy days though.

With a warmer LINING this jacket would be fantastic in weather below 30 degrees. Perfect for the car not to bulky is key. i have the burgandy color i love it. Perfect for the over 50 Ladies.

Average weight, light as far as weight, common fleece. Love the style, longer length. However even though I knew what I was getting I would love to see them make a heavier / thicker version. I usually wear a size large and i found it fit and zipped however ever so snug. I felt the next size up would be to big, a big jump to the 16-18 so i stuck with the large.

I'm 5'9" and 135lbs. I bought a size small and I love everything about it except the sleeves are about 1in too short for my arms. It has a little room for a thin layer underneath and I love how long it is! Great buy!

Love the style with the hood and longer version of a fleece jacket. Colors are great. Sleeves are a little long. I'm petite in size and this jacket fit me nicely but for the sleeves which aren't a problem to hem. It is a little fitted which gives it a non bulky look. FYI this item is light in weight. It's something to wear when you need a sweater

I love how easy this is to put on around the camp or after swimming. It is a little large so it doesn't quite look form flattering if you have curves worth shoping off. But functionality wise... I love it

Beautifully tailored and snug. Makes you feel as if you are wearing a stylish hug where every you go in it.

The primary issue I have with this jacket is the pockets sit lower on the sides and are at the sides of my hips. The pockets themselves add bulk to the hip area and then when I put my hands in the pockets the silhouette is not flattering at all. I am short but have several other Columbia fleece jackets and the pockets on those jackets are near my waist.

Love the jacket. Sleeves are way too long but I will hem them.

A little big around the waist, but it's comfortable for lounging and acceptable to wear running errands. I got the one in grey and it goes with anything I need it to.

Love it, very warm and the quality is just right. Great price

I got this in black. It's more of a charcoal black instead of true black, but it's nice. I usually wear size medium in tops but I sized up and got the large. Love the fit and style of this hoodie. Sweaters fit perfectly underneath. It is soft and I like that the pockets zip shut. However, the fleece is very thin and it's not warm at all. Regular cotton hoodies are warmer than this. Overall, comfortable, cute, good to wear under a coat or over a warm sweater.

The jacket is nice for fall. I wouldn't recommend wearing in lower than 50 degree weather, its not quite warm enough for that. I did order a size up because some of the reviews show it runs slightly small. It is a bit too big, but still very comfortable. Its not as long as I thought, but reading the description again now, it does say how long the jacket is. I would definitely recommend ordering this if you want it.

Love the length but will get a bigger size next time because a large is snug for a medium to large shirt wearer.

I purchased this hoodie in a Large, because all of my other Columbia fleece (half-zip & full-zip) are all a size Large. However, in a Large this seems to be more of a "coat" than a hoodie. I had read the sizing and reviews, but decided to go with my "normal" size anyway. It was pretty "Large" all over. I really love it, and it is very warm compared to the regular fleece, but I do wish it had been a bit smaller. For reference, I am 5'8" and 157 lbs with more bottom than top...

This jacket was a little bit big on me and I ended up taking in the sides to have a better fit. The length is perfect! Its nice and cozy, I don't think Ill be taking it off at all this Fall!

The length of this jacket is great!! Pros: double zipper * thigh length * great fit * cozy and soft * tall collar for those windy days * hoodie I purchased a Medium (I'm a 6-8) and it will accommodate a light sweater. If you want to put bulky sweaters under (why??) buy one size up. Cons: Hoodie doesn't adjust but it's great to have it. I would add inside knit wrist warmers to prevent the breeze going up the sleeve. I bought Deep Blush and may have to purchase another in another in Quill (I refuse to wear black in winter!!)

This is perfect for hiking or just outdoor wear. I love the addition of the hoodie for inclement weather. The quality is excellent and the pink color I ordered is true to the picture. It's runs a little snug. I wear a size 12 but wanted space to wear a heavy sweater underneath so I needed an extra large size.

dont believe the hype!!!! I am so upset with myself - this is the SECOND TIME in two weeks that I have listened to reviewers and bought something too big. THIS IS NOT TOO SMALL - if anything it is too big. My normal default is Medium since I have broad shoulders. I bought Medium and I am keeping it only because it is on seriously super duper sale. However, I wanted a small in this style and I would've got a small if it were available. The medium is fine but like a coat and not what I was looking for. Gosh darn it people, get a grip on your real size and stop posting for the sake of posting. The product is fine, the service and the platform - I am done with this mess. Down with social media and down with amazon - the rot of the world!

I wasn't happy with this jacket: the medium was too tight on me. I'm usually a size 6 or 8, and the jacket fit me like a corset. The sleeves on the large would have been too long, so I didn't exchange for the next size up. The fleece was a little stiff as well. I usually like Columbia products, but this one just missed the mark for me.

I liked the weight and length of the jacket, but for me the sleeves were about 1-2 inches too short
