Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs™ II Long Hoodie

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!!)

The new Benton Springs II long hoodie is a perfect lightweight fleece. The length is long, which is exactly what I wanted. The hood is NOT lined, so lies flat in the back. The sleeve lengths are just right; they hang an inch above my knuckles, which I prefer. Any shorter and the sleeves would be too short when you bend your arm or wear a light sweater underneath. Besides the two outside zippered pockets, there are two additional pockets inside (no closure), although they are quite long - 12.5", so reaching for something at the bottom is a struggle if it's a small item. Minor complaint, as I'm just happy that there are inside pockets! I purchased a black in Medium and it fits just right. I normally wear a small or medium depending on the style of clothing.

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.
