Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ II Long Hoodie

I get tons of compliments on this jacket. I purchased a small and I'm 5'2 (size 6)...the coat fit me perfectly. It's hard to find jackets that fit my pear shape but this works great. I even layer it with my Peacoat when it's really cold out and it looks great.

I was looking forward to having a beautiful shapely, tailored looking warm red sweater. The red color is not at all red. It is more of a pinkish purple, which I did not like at all. It is not as shapely or tailored as in the photo, bit not super shapeless as are many fleece sweaters. The fabric was not really smoothe, but rather a more pilly look. I've had cheaper aweaters look better. I did really like the way it zipped up to a high collar for extra warmth, even when the hood is off. The hood will definitely not blow off. The length was good - to the bottom of my butt (5'6"). I think it would have been warm and cozy, but for the money, it was just not what I was hoping for.

This is the strangest "hoodie" I've ever purchased. The fabric is stiff, I'm not sure what kind of fleece it is. The collar gets in the way if it's unzipped and when I tried to fold it down the jacket creeps backwards over my shoulders (which are square and bony). I ordered a large so it would be roomy and not snug, it does run a little small except for the extra long arms. Disappointed and surprised that Columbia put it's brand on this product.... returning it even though I have to pay for the shipping.

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).

I love this jacket. It fits well and is a little longer than most jackets so it keeps you nice and warm.

I'm happy with my choice and got plenty of compliments wearing this hoodie. I ordered the color black but it was more like darker gray, I still love it. I have dogs that shed hair and I don't notice hair on the hoodie unless I take a good close look. It's long and covers my bottom. During my walk around 40 degrees, it's warm but doesn't keep my arms warm from the cold wind. I recently bought another Columbia jacket to go with the hoodie and with both of them together I am ready for winter. I plan on getting a different color soon.

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.

I bought this for a 13 yr. old, a larger size so that she could layer -- it's perfect.

I read every review and I was confident I was going to love this but it was definitely not what I was looking for and I was severely disappointed. First, the material is not soft it is stiff and itchy. Second, the material is thin and the quality was cheap. I wouldn't pay $20 for this hoodie...so it was WAY overpriced. Third, I ordered a large because everyone said it ran small. Well, the arms were still too short (my arms are on the long side, but a Large should have fit them since I'm normally a medium) and the rest of the hoodie was just big and boxy, not fitted at all or contoured to a woman's body. It was laughable how it fit. I returned it the very next day.

Love this long fleece. Does run just a tad small. Even the sleeves were a bit too short on me. I do have long arms but usually don't have a problem with sleeve length. Will be reordering and sizing up.

I was pleasantly surprised at the higher-quality fleece, and the rear-covering length is very versatile. I've been wearing this jacket with fleece leggings with the peace of mind that my rear isn't showing. I look forward to ordering another one or two in different colors. The charcoal gray one I ordered goes with everything.

Wont stop wearing it!! need more :)

This is an awesome product but runs small in the upper arm area.

I loved it and it's truly size. You can wear it with another sweater under it.

Hugs you in the right places. Super warm, nice coverage on the neck, great sized hoodie.

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.

I am looking for a fleece jacket that is slightly longer than the conventional jacket that is usually around 25 to 27 inches. This is a perfect length. Not too long and can just cover up my bottom. It is very warm too. I can't wait to wear it when the weather starts getting colder.

This was exactly as described and pictured and I couldn't be happier with the fit, weight and quality of this item. There is enough room for layering and I love the hem and sleeve length; the hood is cozy and accommodating for a scarf or turtleneck. Exactly what I was looking for!

I haven't actually worn this item yet but it appears to be the quality that I would expect from Columbia. I am 5' 9" and 150 lbs, jacket is long and fits just a little bit larger than I would have thought but still looks great.

I always wanted a longer fleece jacket. I'm 5'2" and usually wear XS Petite. But just XS fits me perfectly including sleeve length. I got it in Charcoal Heather, very nice color. The jacket is very warm even for our Wyoming weather with almost constant wind. I like the construction of the jacket, it looks more feminine and feels more like a casual wool coat rather than a sporty fleece jacket. I had Columbia jackets before and they were always great quality. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

I love it! I definitely recommend buying it.

I thought the Long Hoodie would be purple, but it's blue. It runs bigger than I expected. For these reason I haven't worn it yet.

This jacket met and went far beyond my expectations. The color is beautiful! I can easily wear layers underneath and not lose the styling of the jacket. The hood with high collar adds so much warmth. The longer length has really saved the day!! The jacket is not only stylish but also comfortable and warm. I've received many compliments on it.

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.
