Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Benton Springs™ II Long Hoodie

For an outwear garment, the sleeves are extremely narrow, and form-fitting for someone with heavy upper arms. They don't allow enough room for the sleeves of inner clothing layers to lie smoothly and comfortably. The sleeves were also several inches too long. The garment body was too narrow across the underarm area, so the rest of the body couldn't lie smoothly. I expected the fabric to be a heavier weight, but it would be suitable for warmer climates than mine. It would be a great autumn jacket for this area. I really liked the jacket's overall length, that it has a hood and, especially, that it has a two-way zipper. I'm so disappointed to have to return this item.

This jacket is my favorite. I am short and every jacket is so long, this is perfect.

Fleece jacket was reasonable price, but quality was a little less than I expected. It was on a sale and the quality was more typical to what I paid. Zipper jams a lot.

I bought this fleece for my sister due to she liked one that I had purchased early; Judy as I do she loves this fleece especially because of the length

Not a good choice for an apple-shaped person. The fixed waist made it a little tight in the middle and loose on the shoulders. The quality was poor -- not what I've come to expect from the Columbia line. Low-end fleece and the seams were poorly stitched in places.

This jacket was very small. 1xl fits more like a large. I will be returning it and bought another Columbia.

This is so warm and soft, I love the length, it covers most of my backside. Washes well and I dry on low.

I'm 5 ft 6 in and normally wear size 14-16. I ordered up and ordered size 1X. I must admit that my arms are larger than most ladies but I feel the sleeves are unusually snug. Not comfortable when wearing over a sweatshirt to the point of being tight and restrictive. The length is perfect and provides extra coverage. Probably would not purchase again because of the tightness in the sleeves.

This jacket just came in the mail. My first reaction upon seeing it is the quality (or lack there of). The fabric looks and feels cheap. I'm not impressed for the price. If you hold the hoodie up to the light, you could almost see thru the fabric and stitching. Furthermore, the hoodie runs small so I recommend sizing up if you still choose to buy after seeing my review.

Way too small, i usually wear XL or 1X, i like jackets loose so i ordered 2X - was way too tight, sending it back

I loved the fabric and especially the spruce color. However, although I normally take a 1X size, I found this 1X to be way too snug across the chest and in the armholes....at least if you may wear a sweater underneath on the colder days. So sadly, I returned it, and there was no 2X available to try.

Item ran small and still waiting on refund notification from 2 weeks ago

I love that this fleece is a tunic length and has a hood. I am a fan of evergreen which often is not offered at other vendors. Great value!

This is a nice jacket and I love the length. The arms are nice and long but they are snug, unlike all the other Columbia jackets I have. The bust area is snug as well and again unlike other Columbia jackets I have.

Great quality. Thick and plush for the material. True to size for me.

Warm but not bulky. Perfect for fall Chicago weather.

The BLACK is not really black, but a dark charcoal color. It is not flattering and the foldover of the material around the zipper makes extra bulk in the front. It oulkd be better if there were an anorak "pull" inside to tighten the waist. I am returning.

I love my Columbia fleece jacket and always wished they made a hooded one. And now I have one. It's wonderful. I love it. Fits great and the hood keeps my hair dry when it sprinkles.

For a plus size outer garment, the sleeves need to be larger around. It fits ok with light weight summer clothing, but it will be a tight fit with winter sweaters.

I already own this jacket in several colors. I love the longer length and have always wished that they would make it in brighter colors or patterns. This aqua color is beautiful! Please make more fun colors in this jacket!

Sent back things are running on the small side, I found out with a few other items

I wore this twice, put my phone in one pocket and my keys in the other and both pockets have holes in them bow and I cannot use them.

Beautiful color ..soft ..nice and long ...good coverage

Im in love with my new jacket. Thanks Columbia!!!!

I really like the longer length of these fleece jackets. We live in a cooler climate and I wear sweaters or jackets about 9 months of the year. These hoodies are perfect for our 50-60 degree days. They wash and dry well. They hold color and shape for years.
