Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Benton Springs™ Vest

Just enough to keep the core warm.

Flattering with the princess lines. I think they fit a little snug for my taste. Not too small or tight, just snug. So I ordered up one size and I love it. So warm and cozy. I have had three for 7 years and wanted new ones for a trip to Europe in May. Planning to wear the vest (bought three in different colors) most everyday with slacks, long or three quarter sleeve tops with scarf to match. You can dress up or down with these vest. So comfortable for flying too. Want my chest warm and my arms free.

I teach in a high school where the temp varies. I have a vest in almost every color so that I can wear as needed.

I have 3 of them, and I love them all.

Add just enough warmth by themselves and a lot of warmth when paired with a jacket. Love them - so pretty!

As a large sized female I usually end up buying men's vests, which means they never come in pretty colors! So when I saw these lovely women's vests in extended sizes, for a very reasonable price, I decided to take a chance and order two, although I never purchase clothes on-line. I was thrilled when I received them, and I immediately purchased 2 more! Got many compliments on the colors, and both of my sisters ordered their own, after seeing how well mine fit. Great brand, great product, great value, great fit!

I love the color of the gray, in my opinion it's what gray should look like! I bought a 2X and dare say I could almost wear a 1X. I usually wear a 2X in jackets. I'm keeping it though because I like the little bit of extra room. It's soft and warm.

Great color, great fit, love the material , worm but not bulky. The only change I would make is to add an adjustable draw string at the bottom. Will look for additional colors

I have worn these vests for several years and I love them. They are just right for fall and winter when you don't really need a full sweater or sweatshirt. They are very pretty and soft. They launder good and are very good quality. I have 4.

Fits well, lightweight yet durable, and the color stays bright after washing.

Love this vest the groovy pink is a great colour.

You won't regret this fleece vest - soft, warm, and the perfect layering piece for the colder months. The fit on this is great - the princess seams keep it fashionable and the length provides good coverage/warmth. So glad Columbia makes beautiful & functional clothes in true plus sizes!

I ordered a fleece vest online from Columbia. I received it when they told it would be here and I love it. Fits great and looks even better. Thank you for quality products!

I already had a pale blue and periwinkle fleece vest and ordered the kiwi one. Absolutely love them all! The fit, the colors, the warmth, the price--all excellent!!

It's often hard to find some name brands of this quality for women who are plus sizes. If you can find them usually their selection may be out of stock which is disappointing when you want a gift for someone special. This is my second Christmas buying from Columbia. Once again, Columbia came through for me. Not only was I able to have the quality but color choices in plus sizes.

I don't order a lot of clothing online, especially for other people. But this vest was true to size and fit well.

Like the roomy armholes, wish the vest weren't quite so long. Comfortable when wearing in the car, may buy another soon.

I love the feel and fit of the vest!

I now own 3 of these vests because I like them so well. They are functional, but do not have the sleeves which is perfect for a person like me who easily gets too warm. They wash and wear well and I believe they are flattering.

Overall I like this vest. It fits a little loose which doesn't bother me. I wish it was a little longer, it comes about belt length. Soft material, doesn't attract lint or dirt. I normally wear a 1-2x in jackets depending on brand and cut, I purchased the 3x and if I bought a second I would buy a 2x.

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 love the vest, however the color was not at all what I expected. The online photo shows more of a pumpkin color, but the actual color of the vest is neon orange. The quality of workmanship is excellent. The fit is true to size.
