Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Benton Springs™ Vest

I've purchased many other fleece vests in plus sizes previously, but the Columbia Benton Springs Vest is by far the best of the bunch. It has a nice tailored fit, great zippered pockets, good cut to the shoulders (not too wide) and the color selection is the best. I think it fit a tad large at 1X, but if you layer a lot, it's probably perfect. I live at 7000' altitude and this is the perfect outer wear for much of the year. Received quickly as promised.

This product runs very large. I usually find that products run smaller than charts indicate. This vest is at least one size larger I ordered 2x and am drowning in it

My husband and I are both in our seventies and we try to get out and walk every day. I was searching for something to wear that would keep my torso warm without restricting my arm movements. These vests are exactly what I wanted. They are comfortable and are just the right layer for these fall days. When the rains come (and I know they will come) I plan to wear the vest underneath my water proof jacket. Also we like to keep our house pretty cool. These vests give the perfect amount of warmth and comfort for days when I am quilting all day. Plus I look pretty darn good!

The color is great and the product itself is very fashionable and wearable in all types of weather.

I am very pleased with this product. My first purchase of this product was at Schells, but they didn't have many color choices in their store in my size. I was happy to find your product online. Thanks for providing my size.

I have a hard time finding vests like this that are long enough. I purchased two of these and I am very happy. The lengh is perfect! I also like that the pockets have zippers. I will definately recommend this product to others.

This is the first vest of this type I've ever purchased and I wasn't disappointed!! This vest fits so well - not bulky and baggy. It is a good length and is made with attention to detail. Well done!! -

Great product..true to size...wonderful color selection...washes great - don't put it in the dryer for best results! I have 5 in different colors and am looking at the new colors to see want else I want! Don't like to wear coats and this is a great option to keep warm!

I am very pleased with my purchase of this vest. It is soft, yet keeps me warm. I also like how lightweight it is. Don't hesitate to purchase if you need a vest that is fashionable and will keep you warm!

This vest was exactly what I was looking for...the fit was true to size. I'm able to use it as an outdoor garment or wear it inside as a vest.

Love, love, love it!

Great vest, wonderful color, great fit! Could have bought more colors!

I love these vests by Columbia, I would suggest one in every colour.

I love Columbia jackets and vests... The fit is true and the colors are great!! I plan on getting another color. Glad Columbia comes in extended sizes.

Fits true to size. Flattering and not too loose around waist area. Washes beautifully!

Love the bright color and the roomy fit of this vest. I wore it to an outdoor MN wedding in October and I was very comfortable with the weight and softness of the vest. I did use a long sleeved turtleneck shirt under it. I will be purchasing another in a blue color soon.

Can't wait for the new colors!!!

Since I had purchased a Columbia Vest that has since been discontinued from last year, I decided to try the Benton Springs Vest. It was almost the exact same one I had previously purchased. I decided to take a shot and I purchased three. I love them and might purchase more.The weight is just right for my walks in the park around the lake where it can be a little chilly. I use them in the car and don't feel like I have a bulky fabric on my back or arms. I don't get overheated, yet I don't feel the cold. I would highly recommend this item. The only objection I had was the cost at this time of year. They should have been discounted for the spring being I had to pay more already for the extended sizing.

This vest fits perfectly. As a large size woman, it's hard to find trends that fit properly - this does. It's soft and comfortable. Would recommend this to all.

I appreciate the quality and choice of extended sizes for this vest and all the women's products. Also nice that there are colors instead of just black as found in many other stores. Easy care, nice fit, and great for in between winter and spring.

Got this the other day! I just love it, going to order another color. I got the tarte (fushia color). It was also on clearance!!! Thank you Columbia for the email letting me know about your clearance sale going on.

Have tried on many vests over the years and have found them too boxy, so was hesitant to order this vest online. However, I am very pleased that I did! Beautiful fit, fabric, and color. I will definitely purchase another vest - and other items - from Columbia.

Love my Columbia vests, bought them in two different colors. Wash up nicely, good fit.

I have 2 of these vests and I love them. The fit is accurate, the pockets have zippers and are large enough to hold keys, phone, or money, without appearing bulky. Easy to wash. I definitely recommend these vests!

Lightweight but warm, this is just what I was looking for, especially when you are wearing a warm sweater and don't want the bulk of a heavy jacket. Looks great and have had many compliments. Definitely recommend this vest. I own 4 of the fleece jackets as well and the quality of Columbia is unsurpassed.
