Customer Reviews Columbia Benton Springs Vest

This is just what I was looking for - warm & cosy with deep pockets, perfect for layering over a shirt as the weather turns. It was bigger than I expected, so returned the small for an extra small and am very happy with it. Got the black and will buy another in a different color.

I like pockets as well as clothing cut to my shape. This garment fills the bill.

I have a Benton Springs vest that is a few years old. Still very functional and gets frequent use, but I have lost weight and wanted a smaller version for wearing outside the house. So happy with the Velvet Cove color.

This vest is perfect for the times you need a little extra insulation, but without a lot of bulk. It's lightweight, soft, and cut well, without gapping armholes. I also like the zipped pockets to keep things secure.

This is a nice cozy vest good for layering. I felt like the cut was a bit narrower than I expected, but overall it's a good piece.

I bought several of this type of vest from Columbia, and it's really very versatile for all season. Its quality and size is superb. I just kind of wish they have more colors to choose from.

I bought this vest to replace one I've had for years-- still in great shape except for stains. The fit and styling are fine as expected. However, the fabric on the new vest is slightly less opaque. Also, the stitching on the new vest is a bit tight in places, causing slight puckering. While I plan to keep this vest, the overall quality of this mail-ordered vest doesn't quite match my previous one from Columbia.

Fits perfectly and is the right length to wear out for a get together.

Beautiful navy blue color and style. The only reason it is missing its fifth star is because it fits rather poorly (on me) under the arms.

Soft, comfortable. The perfect vest to keep you warm, but not hot. Only thing is that the color is lighter than I'd hoped.

I'm a Large, I would have rated this a 5 except for the sizing (I did order the Medium in the Grey and Black) I've already worn the Large grey, so I will keep that!

Looks nice and is true to size. It is a lighter weight vest.

This vest fits well, I wear it often. Gotten compliments

Helps for when you have a little chill and need an extra layer

I was so thrilled to find a deep purple vest, but when it arrived I discovered it was a deep blue. The color is gorgeous... but I don't do dark blue. Still, it's a beautifully tailored vest and I will order another one next year when lots of colors are available. I bought a Castle Dale vest instead in a striking dark sapphire. I'll be wearing it every day for a very long time.

Cozy and warm and fits just right. Color goes with everything. This is my second Columbia fleece vest.

Usually wear a medium but had to exchange for a large.

I have a lot of Benton Springs jackets & have been VERY satisfied w/them. Comparing this vest to the jackets, it is thinner & being white, whatever I wear under it shows through, which is a disappointment. It adds a layer of warmth but I have can't wear it with darker tops u der it. I would buy another vest but in a dark color.

Fits well and is really soft. Just cozy enough for when you've got a slight chill. 4 stars because it's on the thinner side for the price.

Good quality and comfortable vest. The size runs a little small but overall it is a great product.

Third color of the sane item. Love vests when the weather doesn't need a full coat with sleeves.

Am replacing an old one and this one doesn't seem as well made

I normally wear a medium in most tops, but I ordered a large knowing that Columbia fleece items tend to run small. I'm around 5'6", 130lbs and a large works, a medium would've been too small.

Nice soft fleece vest! I have an older Columbia fleece vest that I wear all the time, both inside and outside. I wanted another similar one. This is a bit lighter weight but still feels like it will be warm. Based on the size chart I ordered an XL when I normally wear a size large. It is big, but I can't be sure the size L would have been too small? The biggest part is the armholes which I may end up altering. It is a nice extra layer that would work for inside. For outside it would work as a casual outer layer on a cool day. Perhaps it could be worn for an active sport such as XC skiing as an extra outside layer.

I like the Vest, but it's a little large in the bust area. I'm 5 foot two and my bust size is a little large. Overall the quality is excellent and I will keep my best. Maybe it will shrink a little bit after I wash it.
