Columbia

Benton Springs™ Full Zip

Women's

Okay, Columbia, what the heck happened to your SIZING? I don't know if it is this specific jacket, or if Columbia is now making all their clothing "jumbo sized" to fit larger Americans or what. I used to be a consistent Medium in Columbia jackets. Smaller frame with 34D bra, 135 lbs. This Medium was so big everywhere, around the waist, and the arms were way too wide and LONG. So, if you're buying this, buy a size down if you are smaller boned. Thank goodness for Zappos return policy!

I love the softness and functionality of this jacket. I have accumulated 3 other colors in this style jacket over the course of many years since it is so practical and comfortable, albeit very casual. I am someone who gets cold all the time so I even leave one in my car for those "just in case" moments. I'm 5'9" with very long arms so I ordered a large which fits perfectly and has room underneath for a few layers. I tried a medium on in a store and the arms were just too short.

Great price for a quality product! The material is soft and not too thin like other fleeces I've tried. I'm 5'7 and 150 lbs and the medium fit great with plenty of room underneath for layering.

Based on reviews I initially ordered a medium, but it was borderline, especially around the bust. The large is perfect and much more comfortable. The black is not jet black, more like a very dark charcoal grey. And I prefer it to the jet black. Looks very nice with the iris zipper.
