Customer Reviews Columbia Helvetia™ Cropped 1/2 Snap

Got this fleece about a month ago and absolutely love it! I ordered a size up and got a L for extra room. The bottom can be cinched to make it tighter if you want more of a cropped/fitted look with the larger size. I get complimented on the pattern nearly everywhere I wear it too!

Wife saw and wanted, so we ordered it. She loves it!

Love this. Super comfy and soft, looks great, no complaints! Like that it's also not too long.

Perfect fleece! I would say order your normal size, it's supposed to be a slightly oversized fit. LOVE the drawstrings at the hem, makes it much more flattering at my waist. Definitely recommend!

Fit is perfect. Not super long like so many Fleece styles on my 5'2" frame. And warm! I love that I can wear it inside as a sweater and outside as insulation all year round.

Cropped length is perfect and matches the product photo. Super soft and loose enough for layering.

Amazing!! I purchased colorway Gumdrop and it's the purple of my dreams! I can not wait until it gets colder to wear this at all times. Again, another perfect crop, the sleeves aren't too long and I love the cinch incase you wanted an oversized fit but more cinched at your waist!

Favorite fleece. I now own 3 different colors and I can only assume I'll keep buying more! They run slightly large, so if you want to size down for a snug fit, you could. I bought my usual size and like the extra room.

Best purchase I've made all month, so so comfy yay

I am in LOVE with my new sweatshirt! The detail on the front is unmatched, and I love that Columbia is representing their namesake in this unique way. It's a perfect cropped fit where it's not too short, and hits right at my jeans. It's super flattering and comfortable on. I have a larger chest, so I sized up from my usual size (XL) to a XXL for the perfect oversized fit, and am so glad I did!

I love this fleece- I've been looking for a cropped one with a vintage feel and this was perfect. Against my gut feeling, I bought the small after reading that it runs big. It's too big and now the XS is sold out :(. Just buy your normal size! Unless you want it to be oversized/longer.

Obsessed with this fleece! So warm and comfortable! Runs very large!

LOVE this jacket/sweater so much! It's my new favorite.

I got an XL and I am 5'8" and 210lbs with a curvy figure. It fits a little roomy and is a tad cropped but not too short. After one wash it is super soft and cozy but not too hot. I love the colors, I'm an Oregonian who moved to TN and miss the Columbia Gorge- I saw this and had to have it! My only critique is I always want pockets in everything. These would be much better with pockets.

Cozy and stylish and love the bright purple. The length is good for my petite frame and the snaps are fun. It does t have pockets and the arms are a bit bulky but that’s the oversize style.

The shipping and delivery was reasonable, I got it in about two or so weeks. I'm a little bummed it doesn't have side pockets and the one chest pocket is weighed down by whatever's in it. It's also not for weather too cold unless you have a sweater or something warmer either underneath or over this pullover. Also the buttons get really cold since they're metal which isn't the best to have cold metal on your face or neck when it's already cold out. But it's nice either way.

Based on the item description I ordered a size large even though I normally wear a medium. The shoulder seams fell halfway down to my elbows. If anything this fleece pullover runs big, not small.

As somebody who was born and raised in the Columbia river gorge, I was really excited about the CRG (Columbia River Gorge) print. I recognize the image immediately, it's very accurate, and I even like the little added detail of including the historical Vista House. In trying it on after receiving it I realized two things: One, it is extremely comfy. I don't see myself wearing it for strenuous activities, since fleece isn't super great to sweat in, but over a wool base layer on a dry day walking to the store, this would work for me. The snaps create a nice neck guard However if you plan to buy this print keep in mind, as another person stated, the piping is not black! I saw the review and didn't mind it actually, so I went ahead and took the risk. Mine in fact was also a rust orange. It is unfortunate because it's a cute sweater but the photo online for the women's is very misleading. The men's however does have the orange piping so you can check it out there too. Overall though, whether you get this design or not, it is comfortable, and I would recommend it. Just be forewarned !

REALLY OVERSIZED and not as soft as I would like. Is square and boxy. I am usually a L or XL and I bought the XL and feel like a L would definitely have worked. Also wish it had a kangaroo pocket in front - it has zero pockets which makes it a bummer because I wanted to wear it out and about and there's no place to quickly stash your phone/keys, etc. The print itself is beautiful but pockets and a softer more flexible fabric would make this perfect.

Very nice

Loved it! Just wished there were pockets! Would but again if there were pockets!

Shorter than expected-very relaxed fit. I am usually in between a large and xl in Columbia and the XL was very oversized but still cute.

Disappointed in this one. It's pilly (and I haven't washed it yet.) It's not as pretty as the pic. Also, the fit is boxy and not flattering. I fell in love with this when I saw it, biut the Helvetica isn't nearly as pretty as what it shows online.

I ordered two of this style fleece pullover a year ago and I ordered the same size which was an XS. They made this one a lot larger. I returned it because of the sizing. It was beautiful though!

I was absolutely obsessed with the waterfall print, and I ordered it immediately. Medium, I'm 5'4 150, and it hits in such a weird spot. If you have a longer torso, this won't be for you. I ordered the men's version in an XXS and it fit perfectly except for the length. If I were taller it would've been fine but it was way too long and looked weird too. It's so upsetting because I wanted this print SO BAD. Columbia, please come out with a regular, uncropped, womens version PLEASE
