There's nothing more necessary than a fleece layer in a women's outdoor winter wardrobe—that's why the Benton Springs Full Zip Fleece Jacket exists. Columbia's soft, winter-ready jacket is the ultimate warmth provider and the everyday style piece. Crafted of our super-soft 100% polyester MTR filament fleece, this Benton Springs Full Zip Fleece Jacket is the perfect layering piece and first line of defense to combat the cold. It contains a modern classic fit that allows for comfortable movement and zippered side pockets to keep your small items (including your hands) secure. An added bonus is the warm collar that's flexible so you can choose whether you want to wear it up or down, depending on your desired level of toastiness. Our Benton Springs Full Zip Fleece Jacket is available in many accommodating sizes and colors as well. To ensure the size you choose is right, utilize our sizing chart and the following measurement instructions: For the sleeves, start at the center back of your neck and measure across the shoulder and down to the sleeve. If you come up with a partial number, round up to the next even number. For the chest, measure at the fullest part of the chest, under the armpits and over the shoulder blades, keeping the tape measure firm and level.

Title: Soft & comfortable
Review: This is my third Columbia fleece jacket. All are 100% polyester They are very soft initial but over the years and through washings start to have a rougher feel. They remain warm. If you enlarge the pics I posted, you can see how smooth the newest one is (black label) compared to the others. I wear them as an outer layer indoors in the winter as we keep the temp a bit cool to save money. For outdoors, I often add just a windbreaker to keep the warmth in. I love the zippered pockets and the collar that can be flipped up for neck warmth. I don’t like the brand logo. The black label is my recent buy. They use this black one for all the jackets. Cheaper to use the same one. It’s probably better than the white label on the jacket I bought in Jan 2021. It’s gotten a bit dirty looking around the edges. My favorite is the oldest version that actually has the brand name embroidered. Very classy looking. Can’t remember when I got that first one. It’s still comfortable & warm and not threadbare. I won’t take off a star for the ugly label. I’ve read some complaints about it being boxy looking but I disagree. There are seams along the front and I like the look. The raglan sleeves provide a nice fit for various shoulder widths. Overall, great fleece jacket.

Title: Like It
Review: Really good sweater. It soft and durable, really comfortable! The zipper doesn’t snag when zipping and unzipping. It’s lightweight so it doesn’t feel restricting. The sleeve length is perfect for me and stops right at the wrist. I got my usual size and it fits great!

Title: Great purchase!
Review: I got this for my daughter who is having trouble fitting in kids clothes. I got a large petite, it fit her perfectly and was cheaper than the normal size. It's warm and looks like it will hold up well.

Title: Nice for the Price
Review: I wouldn't say that this jacket is sufficient for cold winter days. For fall and spring it would fit the bill. It's true to size except the sleeves are a bit long (in my case). I like the zippered deep outer pockets. There are also inner pockets. The closure zipper itself is sturdy and easy to use. The garment is soft, attractive and well made. Not only do I like the jacket for transitional weather, but it also provides lightweight warmth when I feel a bit chilly indoors. Price varies by color selection so keep that in mind.

Title: Pretty & Practical
Review: I wanted to do a review for others with what might be called a "wiry build" , since I didn't many reviews from someone similar to my body size.I'm 5'7', 115pds, 34x24x34, lean athletic build, bought Stone Green & Columbia Navy in an XS.The sizing on these jackets is very generous, to me it fits 1 to even 1.5 sizes too big, but the cut makes it fit nicely. It's not fitted anywhere, but is a nice relaxed shape that doesn't "balloon out" from the body, and the drawstring at the bottom hem allows you to cinch it in as much as you'd like. In my photo, the bottom is cinched in ~2", without this it flares noticeably outward & away from my lower body.The length of the jacket is perfect for me, hits slightly high but still hip level, and sleeves are long enough to reach past my wrist bone as I type this review. Nothing rides up or shows anything when I raise my hands above my head.The colors are really lovely, but they aren't what I would call vibrant or saturated- they look more or less as they do on the screen, there is a certain flatness. That being said, the Stone Green surprised me, it's a really gorgeous silvery sage green that I LOVE, not dead drab green as I was worried it might be. The Columbia Blue is as others have described, it's not a true navy, but more a medium slightly washed out denim blue with the slightest bit of green to it. Definitely not navy, but not teal either. The pictures listed for the color are most accurately represented in the photos of the plus size model, IMO. Being familiar with this brand, I knew this. BUT if you're looking for traditional navy, go with Dark Nocturnal instead.Fabric is medium thickness, somewhat stiff, no stretch, blocks wind well. There is some drape in these jackets but not much; it's very reminiscent of the polar fleece from the 80's & 90's- not built to look luxe like an Osito jacket, but will handle wear and tear beautifully (while standing away from your body a bit due to stiffness). It's warm, but I don't think it would hold up alone in much less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit, or if you were in extremely "wet cold" conditions.Overall, it is a wonderful option if you just need a reliable fleece that holds up well to wear, has some nice color options, & won't break your heart if it gets ruined doing outdoor activities or playing with kids, etc. Really can't find a better option at this price, so if you're on the fence, I would say buy it. Just size down!!!

Title: Quality, comfort
Review: I am 5'4' and about 150 lbs. I ordered the large and it is a great fit. I always find the most helpful reviews include weight and size. It is not oversized on me, it fits just right. It is a very nice jacket, and worth a couple extra dollars for the quality.

Title: Warm + flattering
Review: I'm 140 lbs/5'6 with fairly athletic build/broad shoulders and based on the reviews, I figured a large would be fine. But it was too loose for my tastes - I wanted something more fitted. Didn't look horrible, just oversized, so it depends on what you're going for.I did end up swapping for a medium and it's perfect. I bought it in black and there is nothing wrong with the tone. If you want to layer, you will definitely want to size up.

Review: Yo no la sentí tan grande como ví en otras opiniones, siento que viene a la medida. Yo pedí M y me quedo bien pero me hubiera gustado tenerla en L, ya que no me gusta tan justa la ropa. Sin embargo dependerá de ti, si quieres usarla con algo abajo pide tu talla o una talla más y si la quieres a la medida, pide tu talla. La calidad está muy bien y es súper calientita, tiene bolsas al interior.
