Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Benton Springs™ Vest

I bought the bright pink vest with XC skiing in mind. The fit is perfect for me. It is comfortable and great alone or layered with a light jacket. This will be a "go to product" for me.

I work in the grocery business. I am in and out of coolers and freezers all day. This vest is great. Keeps my core warm. looks professional. light weight and warm. washes great.

I expect very little from clothes these days, and I I am delighted to be wrong about these vests. They're perfect. I bought one, then another, then sent a third to my sister. The quality of the fleece is holding up well; I live in the muddy Pacific Northwest and these get dirty, believe me. I wash them with everything else, no fuss, and dry them in a hot dryer. None of them has shrunk or gone baggy. Good length. Good pockets. I am five feet seven and, uh, not slim. I wear an 18 in pants and the 1x is perfect.

Was expecting heavier material like other Columbia items I've owned. Disappointed with the weight of fabric.

I love this vest. I've purchased a total of 19 Columbia vests, jackets, and T-shirt's for myself and as gifts for my friends and family. All of the products have been of great quality. I finally got smart and discovered that this website offered larger sizes. (I require a 2X or 3X) my recent purchase was the navy fleece vest. I was hoping it would be a darker shade of navy, but it doesn't seem to be even as dark as the one pictured. It's still a nice shade of blue. As always, it offered optimal comfort at a very reasonable price. I will always buy Columbia products. I would like to see more plaid options in the larger women's sizes.

I own other fleece vest but this is by far more comfortable and longer on me

Vest hugs nicely, and is super warm. Great as a layer or compliment to an outfit. Cut is feminine and material is soft and comforting in chilly weather.

I would have liked it longer but beside that this is what I was looking for

Columbia clothing is always my go to for quality. Vest is perfect for extra warmth but not too bulky too be comfortable. Wears well and looks like new Evan after washing. Love all the different colors that are available and I have several of them and in jackets also. Good investment

Lightweight and fits me perfectly. Love the pockets and quality of fabric.

Cozy and stylish!

The fleece vest is awesome and versatile because it can be worn dressed up or dressed for comfort. It is perfect to wear with long sleeve t-shirts. It is true to size. It washes up very well. Buy several colors like I did.

Light weight, warm. Easy care

This vest is perfect to help with layering on these cold days. I would highly recommend this.

Very comfortable and warm

Great indoor or outdoor vest. Comfortable & warm without bulk!

This is my second Columbia Fleece vest, and I am just as satisfied as I always have been. The Benton Springs vests run true-to-size. The fleece is high quality and just as importantlythe zippers are well designed for durability and ease of use. These are the most important details that I look for in a well-priced quality fleece vest.

Love everything about this vest!

Fits great, Love Love Love the pockets. And the pockets are so functional inside. Great for your phone or keys.

This is a nice vest but you can see through the sea salt color which is like an ivory. I am sure other colors would be fine. It was also too big for me but I should have ordered a 2X which is my normal size

Look no further than Columbia for the best gifts at Christmas...or anytime! Most everything I'm giving is from Columbia... and just like last year, they're everyone's favorites!!!

Be warned: if you're looking for a darker heather grey color, the Cirrus Grey Heather looks NOTHING like the picture. In reality, the zipper is the exact same color as the super light grey heather vest that it actually is. I was highly disappointed with this color option but decided to keep it because the fit and quality are awesome. I needed a looser fitting vest for layering as it's now in the 40-20 degree zone throughout the days here in Seattle, and this vest serves its purpose. The zippered hand pockets are a superb bonus, as well. Four stars for quality, definitely not for the falsely displayed color option, though.

I cannot say enough about this vest. I own it in several colors. Its perfect for layering; washes and packs well. The on seam pockets (for a good size phone) have zippers and the inside also has 2 pocket spaces. The zipper holds up well and when fully zipped forms a mock turtleneck for added warmth. The sizing is good (the fleece does give a little over time). I highly recommend it.

Color is exactly as pictured, fits like it should, is exactly what I wanted. If you're looking for a vest that's warm but not too heavy I highly recommend this item. Would buy again!

I love this vest. My family has bought several. However on this particular color the picture depicted a medium gray color with a black zipper. Upon arrival the vest was very light gray with the same color light gray zipper. Does not affect the quality of the product in any way still very functional and very well made. Please just be more specific on the pictures that are shown to order from.
