Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Benton Springs™ Vest

I love this vest. It's warm and can be worn all day. I read all the reviews and most said it ran small so I ordered up, and I shouldn't have done that. I should have stayed with my true size. Also the arm holes are a little too high and tend to rub under the arm pit which can get a little uncomfortable. I do love the vest, and will buy another one in a different color.

Great vest for work or play. Love it. Fits perfectly.

I got this vest for outdoor layering, but I have decided to use it in my too-drafty old kitchen. The vest is so light to wear while providing core warmth, it is the perfect layer for kitchen working, other home activities, or relaxation. Of course, I've ordered another one for outdoors!

Perfect layering piece. Snuggle soft! I love it!

beautiful vest and nice color functional as a layer here in the South when the weather is cooler.I like that it is soft and light but keeps the chill out

Bought this to use as an added warmth layer under my fleece jacket. It's perfect! First the color is gorgeous. It's a very soft creamy winter white. It's thin enough to wear for a little warmth in fall, or to layer under another fleece or jacket. It holds body heat well without adding added bulk. I love it. The size is true & fits perfect with a little added space so it's not skin tight. Would highly recommend.

I bought this vest and when it arrived I was thrilled. Great quality and true to size. I first bought it in orange. When it arrived, I liked it so much, I ordered coral that same day.

Perfect! I can't say it enough!

Very pleased with vest

This is one of the warmest, softest, vests I have ever worn. In Louisiana we measure winter in hours instead of months. This vest was perfect for most days, either over a long sleeve or short sleeve shirt. I got many compliments on the color and lines of the vest. It is a comfortable fit. Needless to say, I'm happy with this item. This vest, and it's counterpart long sleeve jacket, were gifts ... neither of which I would return or re-gift.

This vest is a wonderful warm layer to add on cool days, indoors or outside. I noticed that another customer complained about the stiff, plastic feel of the fleece. Upon washing, the fleece becomes softer. It's really quite nice. I purchased this vest in the 'Bluebell' color; it's gorgeous.

Fits great & keeps you warm. Goes great under a jacket or coat if you're layering. This is my second one & plan to order a third one ASAP!!

I decided on the Bluebell. It's a denim color and I love it. The zip up pockets are fantastic. I'm pleased with the softness and fit. I plan to purchase another color soon.

cozy, soft & warm...fits great & made to last

Love this vest! Living in Northern California with a 30 degree temperature makes this the perfect layering item. Good zippers and perfect weight makes it a favorite.

I really liked the bold colors and the strong zipper. The pockets are such that if I needed, I could store my kindle. Awesome vest!

This vest is perfect the winter that we are having in the east so far. It's warm and cozy.

Fits perfect I love it thank you so much

Love these! Since I tend to be hot natured, I wear one as a coat the entire winter; unless I'm up in the mountains, a vest, scarf, and gloves are perfect for keeping warm. Also, the zippered pockets are large enough to take the place of a purse for essentials if I want to keep my hands free ~ at times I have even carried a bottle of water in one. Since I wear a vest almost every day, I have 4 of them in different colors ~ definitely one of the best and most versatile pieces of clothing I've ever bought.

I purchased this vest after searching high and low for 3 months to find just the one I was looking for. This was the closest I found. I recently purchased a Lady D down coat in the exact same size and it is a bit snug so be aware the sizes do fluctuate. It is a nice vest, warm, soft and comfortable. I think a more versatile color may be a wiser choice since it can be tough to pair many long sleeve shirts to some of the vest colors. I went with the plum and it looks very nice with a black base layer top.

Great item to wear in almost every season - outdoors in the winter months and even in air conditioning in the summer months. Fit was great. Highly recommend.

Runs a little large.. Good quality items are made to fit correctly and I'm used to having to order larger on less quality items... Will continue to order these quality items in the smaller size

Love this plush vest. The color plum is great. The vest is soft and comfortable. I know I will get a lot of wear from it.

Soft ,looks good on ,fits well and have received compliments on the color!

I purchased one of these for my mother for Christmas 2013. It seemed like half the time I went to visit them in the cooler months, she'd be wearing it around the house. I bought her one of a different color for Christmas of 2014! At this point I didn't even care because I new she loved it.
