ColumbiaWomen's Benton Springs Full Zip

So I actually ended up purchasing two of these, the large and this darker grey one is a the medium. I usually wear a large but it was just way to big but I wanted a spring jacket to be able to quickly throw on. This is super soft and comfortable as can be. That being said, the medium was still too big. You can see in the last photo from the back my hands were in the pockets pulling it forward. In the first photo there is zero feminine shape for this one but at least the sleeves on the medium were not past my hands. I am 5'2, 170lbs and usually wear a large top but I think I could have gone smaller on this one and might end up buying a small one just to see if I like it more. For now the Medium will just need to work for the camping trip this weekend.If this review was helpful please click the below button, for other items I have tried on select my name above so see all the Amazon items I have reviewed.

I love this fleece. I had already ordered one in the Paisley Purple color and I liked it so much that I decided to get another one in Heather Gray! I got a medium and it's a good fit. I'm 5'3", 124 lbs, with 34" bust, 28.5" waist, and 36" hips. I am usually a small in women's sizes and the purple one I have is a small. Both fit me. The medium is a little looser for a more relaxed fit. I want one in the Lychee color too! These fleece jackets are so cozy and pretty colors. Glad I bought it. The only thing I didn't like was that the gray one took longer to ship to me than the purple one. It arrived 8 days after I ordered it, whereas I got the purple one in 2 days if I recall correctly. It seems to be a popular jacket, so that's probably why. Will probably order another just to have different colors!

This jacket it nice and warm without being too thick. However, it is on the thinner side, so if you live somewhere really cold I'm not sure it would do you a lot of good as anything but a layering piece on more temperate days. I like in Texas and don't need anything heavy duty so this was pretty perfect for my needs. I did end up sending it back because it fit me a bit bigger than expected. I'm normally a medium in tops (34D/DD) and ordered the large because I wanted room for some thicker clothing underneath, but it turns out I should have done the medium. Seeing as how the jacket has some structure to it, it looks a bit odd if it's big on you since it doesn't conform to your shape. The fabric is fuzzy and sort of feels like a blanket with a bit more stiffness to it. It's nice and cozy on without looking frumpy. My only big gripe with this jacket is that the "black" looks so washed out. It's like it was pure black originally and then washed a bunch of times until it faded. I personally like pure black if I'm buying something in that color and didn't like that it made it look a bit cheap and used. Overall, this is a good jacket for some cold weather (probably nothing lower than 40 degrees without more layers underneath) and it's very affordable. (P.S: you can usually find this at T.J.Maxx and Marshalls for $25!)

This is my 3rd Columbia fleece jacket. It's my first women's jacket though. I'm 4' 11'' so in the past I have ordered the girl's fleece jacket. At 110 lb.s the medium fit nicely, at 140 the xl fit nicely. I hate to say I have gained quite a few recently and at 155 I decided to finally order the women's jacket - size large petite. It fits nicely. It's not too snug or too lose - just right. The arm length on the women's jacket are a little longer than the girl ones. I do like it though. Also, the bottom can be adjusted for a tighter fit, although I'll never use that... I think for a regular fit buying the same size as the top you wear probably works best, and for a fitted look a size down may work nicely. It's a nice quality jacket and I'll probably order another one in a different color in the near future.

This is a great and comfy zip up fleece! I bought a large. I didn't want it to be too tight so I can wear it over things. Luckily the arms weren't too long (maybe slightly but the elastic wrist band made it not noticeable). Which they usually are when I get jackets in size large. (Sometimes need petite of I do. I'm 5'5''.) I wore this in ireland and it was perfect. I wore it almost every day it was chilly. It's a warm jacket. Would keep you toasty on chilly nights. I probably wouldn't wear it in the dead of winter unless I was just going to the gym or something. Definitely doesn't replace a winter coat but great otherwise. I wouldn't want to wear it for that anyway. Perfect fleece without the price of another brand (NF). In fact this was much softer than my fleece from that brand and way cheaper.

The color looks nothing like the picture depicts. I will attach a photo of the color I received. I ordered a 1X Plus size fleece. Normally I wear a regular large, or XL, but I decided to go bigger so I could layer it on a hoodie or something. This fleece is not a normal 1X size. It is very small and form fitting. I do not like the color, or the size, and it feels thin and cheap. You get what you pay for though.

Definitely feels and looks like a counterfeit jacket. The jacket I received was a thinner quality compared to my other columbia jackets that I have purchased. It also came with a different color logo, a black and white sew on tag (and not stitched into the jacket like the exact one I was replacing). Even the tightener at the bottom of the jacket was super small compared to my other jackets as well. Very disappointed and will not buy again.

Wonderful product. Lives up to the columbia name as far as the quality of what the product claims to be. I ordered a petite large because I wanted the fit to be a bit baggy. Im 5'1 135 pounds and this fit great. I haven't tried it in cold weather or washed and dried it yet. I also purchased the mens version on the actual columbia website and it is the exact same quality/fabric with the stitched on logo. I had seen some disclaimers about this being a possible fake brand but the one I received seems to be authentic. Columbia's website also carrys this exact same fleece on their website as well, overall very pleased!

It's comfortable, fits well and looks good. Been wearing the fleece non stop since purchased!

lovely fleece but I had to return it as it was to large.

True to size. Colour as shown and great service from this company. Arrived before it was expected!

I found this Columbia fleece sweater great quality, fits as expected, but it more of a slim fit fleece so if you like a more loose fitting fleece buy a size up. It' very warm great to wear on cold fall days or under a jacket in the winter to keep extra warm. I'd buy this again. Hope this was helpful.

Got it for my mom as she's been looking for a fleece sweater with zipper pockets. She absolutely loves it! I got her M in womens in charcoal. And the product is as described!She's 5'1 about 140 lbsMay seem thin when you're feeling it on the outside but once you put it on, it's very warm!!bottom part of the sweater has adjustable straps too! if is a bit loose which was what she exactly wanted because she can wear a longsleeve underneath! But She is a very short and that's why the sleeves were long!RECOMMENDED!
