Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Benton Springs™ II Long Hoodie

Beautiful jacket, well made, fits perfect. Love, love, love the purple color!

I purchased this item because I was tired of not having a warm jacket for winter. In the past I would just wear sweaters and/or a thin jacket. When it gets to below 40 degrees here in Texas I knew I needed something much warmer this year. So I decided to go with this fleece. To me I feel that the sleeves are a little long but I do like them that way because they come to the middle part of my hand so it keeps me warm there as well. I love the fact that it's so soft/warm and it has a hood on it. My absolute favorite feature is the zipper pockets. I found this to be super helpful. When I need to run out to the store in freezing weather I can put my phone in one pocket and my credit card/driver's license and keys in the other one and zip them both up. The pockets are deep and can hold quite a bit. I'm really happy that I decided to purchase this fleece from Columbia.

Very comfortable and warm hoodie! Highly recommend!!

I have bought the same style jacket a few years ago and loved it! Over the past months I have lost 45lbs and I was sad to see, that my favorite jacket was way too big, but saw the style was still offered, so I got me the 2X which fits a bit loose, but with a hoodie or thick sweater underneath it'll be just fine. The fleece material is soft and the jacket is long enough to cover my backside and part of my thighs (I'm 5'4"), it holds up good in the laundry and keeps it A-shape. It is not waterproof, but perfect for these Bavarian fall and spring days. Oh, shipping to APO overseas military was fast, 2 weeks and I had my jackets.

This is a very nice long fleece jacket.The length is perfect for taller people.Soft warm fleece with a comfortable hood.Makes a nice light jacket or top layer with light shirt underneath.I bought it a size larger to fit heavier shirts underneath.Purple color is pretty.Nicely made with no zipper issues.Deep pockets.If you are tall you will love the length,as there are not many options for us taller women in a quality fleece.

Of course everyone's computer monitor displays colors differently. I wanted the purple, but it was sold out in my size. So chose the Rich Wine. Was pleasantly surprised when I opened my mail order to discover it is more maroon-ish than red. Love this style, heavy weight hooded fleece that covers my behind! Sleeves are just a bit long, but that's ok. Am looking forward to layering this with my Columbia raincoat as we head into breezy, rainy Seattle fall weather.

I love that this is a longer jacket with a hood! None of my previous Columbia fleece jackets had a hood. This was a great fit for a plus size gal and I still have spare room for thick and long sleeve shirts. Also its warm! Not just a fleece windbreaker.

I purchased this fleece online through the columbia.com site and fell in love as soon as it arrived. It is so soft and fits beautifully. I am very happy and contemplating another color!

One of the best fleece zip up hoodies I have ever owned! Keeps you really warm.

This was everything I wanted from a hoodie...cozy and warm, and long enough to cover my butt. It's been a great layering piece for me under other jackets and as a stand alone by itself on cool days. The hood is great and it zips up to cover my neck and chin and the fleece surprisingly blocks some rain/drizzle.

My Benton Springs II long is perfect for the fall. It fit's true to size and I love the zip pockets. I was thrilled to see that Columbia makes plus size clothing, which I find rare today with a lot of outdoor outfitters. I live in New England and I just purchased this hoodie. Perfect timing as the temperature the last two days was in the 50's. Today is was also breezy and I felt toasty warm with no wind going through. I also purchased a raincoat this week which I haven't worn yet.

This is my fourth Benton Springs II Long Hoodie. They are the best I have ever found and hope they keep making them. The extra length covers to the top of the thighs for extra warmth. I travel to Canada on a regular basis and they are great to layer on cold days.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the jacket looked better than the online pictures. Fit is great and quality of the material is great. I love the plum color and longer style which keeps it from looking cookie cutter to other jackets. I also purchased color coordinated accessories to match.

Great jacket for those days when it's not cold enough for my Columbia Snow Eclipse 2 jacket. Love the fit and keeps you warm. Looking forward to wearing my new winter jacket.

A fleece with a hood! A little longer than an average fleece which is perfect!

This jacket is comfy and cozy, I bought as a gift for my mom. She really liked the longer length to cover the backside.

I love fleece hoodies and they are getting very hard to find. This one from Columbia is perfect and meets all my needs. Will order a 2nd one to keep as a backup. Great Product.

This jacket is absolutely wonderful. Fits very well. Love it, and can't say enough about it. The style and look are great.

I love this fleece hoodie! It is longer in the back and I don't feel "exposed" It is so soft and cozy too!

I fell in love with this as done as I tried it on. Love the extra length and the hood does not make it too bulky at all. Ordered it another color.

This jacket is great. The fit is perfect and the sleeves are nice and long. The 2 way zipper is nice, along with the hood. And the fleece is so thick and warm!

I loved the one I purchased last year so I purchased 2 more this year in different colors. I am 5'10 and enjoy the longer length.

This jacket's fit is great. It keep you warm and cozy. It is great to wear in spring and fall days. On those not to cold or hot days, I looking very styles in this jacket.

I love this fleece! It is a perfect fit which is hard to find in plus sized outerwear. I love the fact that it is long and covers my butt so cold air doesn't go up my back on a windy day. The pockets are great for storing my gloves and hat. Also the hood is roomy enough to fit my head with a hat on.

I purchased this jacket based on all of the positive reviews that it has received. It's very warm and I really like the longer length. I wear a 2X in Columbia and the sizing was spot on. This is a really good purchase.
