Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ II Long Hoodie

Even though I took my measurements the bist area is somewhat tight. The armholes are tight too! The hood is huge! I hope to return this at an Outlet to see if I can get something that fits.

I like the style and it is a nice fleece. It is not as nice as my original that i bought in 2011.

Although it is very warm and has a nice shape, the black fleece used looks very faded and almost like an army green.

I always wear a Medium in Columbia but the waist on this is more of a small. Shoulder fit fine. Very strange

My daughter purchased this for me for Christmas. She was so excited giving this to me and I really liked it. When I put it on the next day, I discovered a large rip in the pocket.

Ordered a medium (I am 5'7" and 140lb) and agree with other reviewers as it is really tight in the arms (barely fit over a waffle weave shirt). And it is fitted in the body as well. Not too tight but you won't be able to layer this over any other fleece layers which is a bummer because the fleece is more light-to-medium weight. Hood is large.

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 didn't 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.

Fit very weird in the armpit area. A total deal breaker

I received a lighter color than the one showing on the picture.

Nice, but thinner. Wanted something for cold winters and for over a sweater

I like it but runs small. I wish I ordered bigger.

The hood on this jacket does not make sense. First of all, it's HUGE! It hangs way forward over my face unless I pull it back. Not sure how that would work in heavy winds. Second, when the hood is down and the jacket zipped all the way up to cover the neck, it's so tall it covers my chin. The construction is awkward, making it uncomfortable to wear it only slightly unzipped. Maybe if your neck was super long it wouldn't bother you. I think the Columbia photos pretty much show this, but I did not make the connection when purchasing it.

The cut and length on this are great, the fabric is a little thinner than I expected. I had a Columbia fleece in high school and it was much thicker and protected from a light breeze, with this one the wind cuts right through. So it's good product for around the house and temps above 45.

I liked the color and length, and zipped pockets. Wish the hood was removable. It just did not fit the way I was hoping. I am returning it.

No linger so it's basically a sweater can wear something warm under

Buy a size larger than what you wear. I had to return mine.

Warm and comfy but kind of really, very unflattering on my small frame

Nice jacket but more fitted than I expected. Wanted to be able to wear heavier top.

I love this jacket so much that I bought a second one. The problem with the jackets is the holes in the pockets. I received my second jacket last week and its already got a hole in one pocket. Of the three Columbia jackets I own, two have holes in the pockets.

I had high hopes for this jacket. Most fleece jackets don't have a hood which made me love this one as soon as I discovered it. It did not live up to even my low standards. The fleece feels weird. Kind of like the old fuzzy blankets of the 80s but more scratchy. It's stiff and not soft. Putting it on there's a very noticeable strangeness to the cut of the jacket. It just feels weird when on, pulling in strange ways. The upper arms seem to made tighter than the rest of the jacket which makes them feel out of place with the rest of the fit and too tight. The back of the jacket also has a strange fit and feel to it.

I loved the jacket, however I carry my weight in my middle making it tight in that area. It fit in my arms and every place else. Was disappointed because it is nice jacket.

Nice quality fleece but pockets are set too high for anyone above average height. Returned for that reason

I normally wear a size 10 and ordered this in a medium. It fit too snug through the body to wear another layer underneath. I was going to exchange it for a size large, but the sleeves on the medium were already too long (I'm 5'2"). There is no thumb-hole or elastic at the wrist so I figured that the sleeves on the large would really be a problem and just returned it.

I was so excited to have a longer fleece, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. The style isn't flattering- it's too bulky in the middle. Even worse, the shoulders are too narrow and tight, making it uncomfortable to wear. I have several other Columbia jackets that fit just fine in the shoulders, so I'm not sure what went wrong with this one.

I absolutely love my jacket but shipping was horrible it got lost for two weeks and then finally it showed up at my house even though on the delivery part was still saying it was another state.
