Columbia Women's Benton Springs Full Zip

Are you tired of having to go to a doctor's office, grocery store even movie theaters and it's always cold? Then look no further this fleece keep the body warm.What I like about this fleece, not only it keeps me warm when the house AC feels like it's on 60 degree's.Fury pets no problem, this fleece does not attract cat hair. I have a long hair and shore hair cats and the fleece does not get pet hair on it.just the right size, I brought a medium even though I am a small. It fits very roomy the sleeves are fine the zippers work just as great and I love the hidden inside pockets they have. I wish the color was black but for the price the grey fleese is alright with me. The color grew on me. Columbia makes great clothes, coats and jackets anyway, out of all the the fleece I look into this one was my favorite because I was looking for something warm and not too long, pet hair free, inside and outside Pockets with zipper and I rule out this is the best one yet.My dislikes only the color but overall no complaints here.I hope you like this review and would consider this fleece for fall or winter time you will not be disappointed and I am a person who stays cold so if it will work for me it will work out for you.Please buy this item you will not be disappointed.

Great jacket, but probably should have ordered a small. I’m 5’1 and weigh 159. The medium fits good when zipped of course but still feels a bit big for me since I’m short. Where it cuffs at the wrist could definitely be tighter again I’m short and have small arms. I love it and need it so I won’t be sending it back but I may order a smaller size in another color. I also wear scrubs daily so wearing this over my scrubs makes me look that much more stocky in the top area. However I do still like that I’m not constricted in it. It’s soft and feels warm. Tried getting multiple picks so hopefully those help someone my size.UPDATE- tried washing in hot water and drying and it didn’t shrink so will be ordering a size small

First ordered a large, because while I'm usually medium, I have broad shoulders. Large was too big as a single layer, but works fine over a down vest or heavy sweater, taking the dog out on the early morning trip. Ordered two more of the same gray color in medium, and shoulders and sleeve lenght are ok, but it is shorter in the total lenght, and I am long-waisted. Never the less, they will be fine for ocassions when a light sweater is needed. I got two- one for yard work, etc, one to keep nicer looking for trips to store. I read all the reviews about knock offs, different labels, etc. I don't think this is the case - the same model is on the Columbia with the same label (the "newer" one). I think products everywhere, all kinds, are just cheaper and cheaper - same is true for dishwashers, cars, sheets, cotton jeans, etc. Everyone everywhere is trying to do more with less and meet a price point. It is a good value for the price - zip pockets, full-lenght zip, bottom toggle. Standard YKK zippers. One seam was a little uneven, but that's not a show stopper. It's what I'd call their Value line --- as opposed to their high end fleece sold in branded stores or luxury locations. But you're not paying $120 or so for it. Sure it's thin - but did you really think you'd get heavy polar fleece with perfect finishing selling at 1/4 normal price? I consider it well enough made to last a couple of yrs and a fair price for what it is.

I bought this as a mid layer on a recent trip to Iceland. I typically wore it over a merino wool base layer and under a wind/rain jacket. It kept me very warm and is super soft! Not sure if it is authentic Columbia brand but honestly I don’t care, the price was right and it is great quality. Held up well after laundering and I’m excited to have it this fall and winter season.

It does well at keeping the wind out. I've always had hoodies, but I love that this jacket has a zip up collar to keep my neck warm.Fits well on me, 5'8 145 lbs. I bought a medium- I'm a size 6-8 generally.I wish the sleeves were a little longer. The sleeves also cinch at the end with an elastic band. They keep the cold out and my sleeves from falling down, but also get stuck on my watch all the time.I wasn't sure about the zipper pockets, but honestly I like them. In my other zip sweaters I always had my keys or phone falling out of my pockets. The zippers are a plus rather than a negative. You can put your arms in without getting scratched up from the zipper.I wear it to work every day and I haven't had any problems with zippers getting stuck.

I purchased this in charcoal for my teen daughter, because I have one in black and she borrows it often. It is well made, has a flattering fit, and they hold up well, if my previous one is any indication. I have one concern to share ( with Amazon ): I was going to purchase yet another, for myself, in another color, left it in my Wish List, and when I came back to purchase it, the price had been raised almost 16 bucks. I know it is likely just supply and demand, however it seemed as if the price offered to me was connected somehow to the fact that I had purchased product for x amount, so let's see if customer will spend more. Anyways, great jacket, but will not purchase another at a " jacket up" price.

I purchased this as a last minute jacket for a trip to China I took last month. Let's just say I basically lived in this!! It's so comfy and keeps you warmer than expected. I wore this on the plane rides in and out, I wore it while hiking (see photo), I even wore it while in the hotel room. My next trip is in April to Ireland, and I plan on bringing it just to have on the plane! Also made a great pillow :) It does fit just a tad big, but I normally struggle between medium and large so the medium fit me great. I'd definitely recommend this jacket!

I love this zip up. It is so warm and comfortable. Fantastic quality
