Benton Springs Zip Up Fleece Jacket

Love the color and it definitely keeps me warm, but the quality of the fabric and zipper both feel like a lower quality than previous products I've had from Columbia. I haven't had it long enough to say if it's durable.

I absolutely love this jacket! It fits perfectly, is comfortable and lightweight, and keeps me warm without feeling bulky. The color is beautiful and it’s perfect for everyday wear. Very happy with my purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fleece zip up is well made and is a great insulation layer. It’s comfortable for daily wear and an all around great addition.

The interior pocket came unstitched and the zipper failed in my barely-worn, essentially new full-zip fleece during a trip to Iceland and Scandinavia . Without a receipt, Columbia is totally unwilling to even consider replacement.

I wish I would have returned. I was hoping if I washed it would shrink a little. It didn't. I went with the XXL bc that's what I bought a couple of years ago and it was longer than the 1X. This year the fabric has changed (too bulky), sleeves are way too long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never met a Columbia full zip fleece that I didn’t love. I bought a gray one over 5 years ago and it still holds up great. Decided to buy some more colors this past year and now I rotate green, pink, and red. The fit and breathability are magnificent. I love that it keeps me warm but I don’t get overheated. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The jacket is soft and comfortable. The problem is the zipper. The zipper sometimes starts opening from the bottom. Then I have to unzip the jacket and zip out up again. Not so fun in the cold......

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a HUGE fan of Columbia Sportswear. This item was a Birthday present to myself. Not much to say except it’s Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Benton Springs Jacket in a beautiful royal blue in February 2021 which I did not wear a lot. I had also bought another one prior to 2021. Both jackets had the same issue with the zipper teeth detaching from the fabric portion of the zipper about 5 inches from the bottom and going up several inches. In December of 2025 I sent back the jacket for inspection and was told it wasn't a warrantee item, which I understand. I would just like to know why the zippers keep failing. I spoke to a great customer rep who found other reviews documenting the same problem, hence I decided to add this review. I love the fleece jackets, but not that the zippers fail. I have other brands of fleece jackets, Talbots, and they have not had this problem. I just added another picture of another Columbia Benton Springs Jacket where the zipper teeth also separated from the fabric portion of the zipper.

i'm about to buy my fourth Benton Springs Fleece. My go to over the years! They hold up well and fit well and layer well. Warm and wonderful!

The fit is the same as my older version but the fabric is not a soft fleece. It feels very plastic-y and weird.

My MIL loves this fleece jacket (though had to exchange for a size up) as got this for her birthday. Beautiful vibrant color (clematis blue). A bit more of a fitted fit than a normal fleece jacket though. She loves how warm it keeps for the chilly nights that she needs a jacket but nothing super heavy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used these fleece for over 10 years now. They hold up really well an are very comforting. The only downside with fleece fabric is it traps hair (dog hair, human hair, etc). I recently replaced my old fleece during the current Xmas promotion. My husband cuts his hair at home. His hair trimming towel ended up in the washer and dryer with my fresh new fleece. They are ruined. There is no savaging them. No lint roller or special tricks will save them. Hope my anecdote helps when deciding on your next purchase.

Absolutely deceitful! I realize different displays can have slight differences in color. This isn't even close. The picture is a beautiful blue, the product is dingy indigo. Pretty sure I'm sending this back!
