Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Benton Springs™ II Long Hoodie

This jacket was a HUGE disappointment. Save your money and do not buy this. The fleece was very cheap. The zipper does not function well - it is a constant struggle - actually I have to have my husband zip this up because you basically cannot zip it up yourself. AWFUL! I bought the 1X which usually is very ample for me but I like having a lot of room when I drive. The sleeves are very tight. Poor sizing.

I got this on sale because I wouldn't pay for this full price.. that's the brand driving. I do notice the quality of pockets and lining make it far better than other brands - it get 5 star.. we'll see how it wears (pilling, etc). I haven't washed it yet-- bought 2 for gifts as well.

Bought for my sister and she loves it!

It's fleece, its comfortable -- great fall/spring or travel coat. What I love the most is that the pockets have zippers. When I travel I zip my pockets, and don't have to worry about my stuff falling out on the plane when I take my coat off! I wear it so much it is getting a little ratty. I was happy to see they are still selling this, and I ordered a new one!

I ordered the 3X based on my measurements and the recommendation that it runs small, but it was basically a shapeless tent. I returned it and bought a 2X. The 2X is still a bit loose, but that is ok, as I'll be able to wear it over bulkier sweaters and sweatshirts. I am glad I purchased a smaller size, as this jacket is very warm and cozy.

It's my go-to jacket.

This jackets runs a little small however its very comfortable ! Highly recommend this product

The note that is fits slightly small is misleading at least for me - I don't like things to be too tight and usually wear 1x-2x. So I ordered the 3x and was just swimming in it - returned it for the 2x and would say it is still a bit large but I want to be able to layer so I'm keeping it. Really like the length and the pockets are zippered plus the zipped front is a 2 way zipper - always a nice feature. Pairing it with the Arcadia II Jacket it will make a nice cozy couple :)

Finally a Hoodie that is long enough! Absolutely love it! Once I realized you had to hold the long zipper at the bottom to zip, I was set to go.

I needed something to grab running out the door to do errands & such that was warm soft & durable. This is PERFECT!!! So soft!! Covers down to the lower hips & lightweight BUT very warm!! I'm buying another one!!

Wore this for early morning walks, weekly hikes, or just when I wanted the feel of a comfy "blankey". Pockets big enough for water bottle and snacks. Would buy another one this year if it came out in that nice blue-purple color I saw in the regular sizes.

I got this to have a white fleece jacket that was long enough to cover the hips and keep the lower body warm without adding a lot of weight. Coat is unlined fleece but the warmth is spectacular. The hood is attached in such a way that it actually looks feminine instead of masculine like most hoodies do. It drapes nicely. I would buy this again at full price and I would love to have one in black if it ever comes available again.

I purchased this jacket for myself and I loved it! Excellent quality, fits true to size, and can be worn in mild to moderately cold weather. It can also be layered. I wanted to order one for my mom today, but the color I wanted was sold out. I guess everyone else also liked it!

I read the other reviews and ordered a size up. Fits perfectly. I love the color and the longer length. This is my weekend "go to".

It was exactly what I was looking for. Wanted a fleece jacket that was longer and this fit the bill. Comfortable and feminine.

This coat runs a bit small. I wear an XL women's shirt and this just fits in a 1X. The coat itself is fitted to the body. I like how it covers my bum and has a hood. Great for layering or by itself on cool days. The fleece is not heavy or thick and will not block the wind. It is more comfy and soft.

I bought this jacket for my daughter and she loves it. She wears it all the time.

Great jacket order up a size if you like a less fitted fit.

I have a long torso and large chest it is a pain to find a jacket that does not ride up on me, and i finally found 1 the material is super soft and warm the fit is a bit loose but i prefer it that way so i can layer. I highly recommend this fleece.

Really like the length and warmth of this jacket...makes a good liner for my Pardon my trench Jacket as well! Soft, pretty, plenty of room!

This is a great fleece. I feel it runs a little small and may be a little thinner than what I was expecting. I love the long length and the hood giving it a more modern look than your standard fleece. Overall I love this jacket and would recommend it to anyone!

I am so glad this jacket is back! I have it in black which I purchased about 1 year ago and love it so much I wanted to order another color but couldn't find it until now. Just ordered the sea salt color, can't wait! This jacket is longer than most fleece jackets, which I love, and is very comfortable yet also flattering and fits well. Very pleased with this jacket, hope you make more colors.

Thank you Columbia for offering quality, nice fitting plus size clothing. This jacket is long and covers my behind. The quality is nice. It's just a little snug around my hips. It looks great on - way better than most plus size fleece coats.

Tried this in the Quill, which is a dull grape shade whereas it looks more sterling-colored in the photo. The hood is great and the top fairly warm although loose enough to be designed for layering. I would still end up going down a size despite following their measurements as this is loose and relatively thin but it's a reasonably warm coat.
