Columbia Women's Benton Springs Vest

As usual for Columbia products, it's excellent quality and comfortable. It fits true to size and is warm. Deep enough pockets for me, and I like the style. I would recommend as it's a good value for the money.

Well made. Color is not a deep black but it is perfect for me. Nice and soft. Fits well, comfortable. Love the zip pockets and the princess seaming. Considering another in a different color. They wash like a dream. Zipper smooth and sturdy. Great piece to have and for extra cold days easy to wear under a coat.

This Columbia vest is a nice fit for me. It’s great that there is this Petite size, a little bit shorter, just what I needed. I like the Charcoal Heather color too. It’s nice and soft, just warm enough

Great for layering on a recent trip to Alaska. Great value for the money. True to size. Nice weight. Recommend!

I absolutely LOVE this vest! It is warm and soft and cozy, fits like a dream, and has the best pockets! The two outer pockets are deep enough for a cell phone and keys, plus they zipper closed. The two inner pockets are even BIGGER! The photo shows my Kindle easily fitting inside one of them. Another favorite feature is the generous and well-shaped collar, which really keeps my neck warm and snug. The fit is very flattering and comes in slightly at the sides. I ordered this vest in my usual size (L) and it fits perfectly and very comfortably. The hemline lands right where my hip bends, which is exactly where I want it. For reference, I am 5'8" and 170 lbs and 38D. The main zipper closure and two pocket zippers are sturdy and glide smoothly. I can't say enough about this wonderful vest and how perfect it is for Fall/Winter wardrobe. It goes with everything, and makes my plain tops look sporty and dressed up. I'll be wearing this everyday! You won't disappointed, and I highly highly recommend it.

I've been a Columbia sports brand lover for quite some time. I own umpteen different colors of the long sleeve fleeces. I much prefer their products to pricier ones such as Reebok, Puma, and others. I spend my cold Upstate NY winters in them and they actually help us save on oil heating prices. I love that the fleece washes and drys well and generally does not lose its fluffiness.Never having bought one of the vests before, I decided to take a chance and order one. I LOVE THIS VEST! It fits me very, very well. I am 5'3", weigh about 122, 36C and ordered a medium. I must say, however, that I usually wear almost all my vests in early spring and fall with a lightweight sweater. I believe a small would fit me if I just wore it over a long-sleeved tee shirt. I should add that I do wear the sweater/vest combo in the winter under a heavy coat. I think that this Columbia vest won't be too bulky to do that.The fleece is a nice heavier weight compared to some more budget-conscious fleeces. The aqua color is absolutely gorgeous and true to what is shown on most monitors. I can't wait to wear it with my turquois jewelry. The collar is tall when raised, which will be great on those crisp fall days when I want to wear a scarf. All the zippers work really well, pockets included. I should mention that the pockets are deep and wide enough to carry my cell and a few smaller items in just one pocket.As for styling, I also like that the sides of the vest aren't sewn slab straight but rather indent slightly, giving the illusion of a waist line. For those are you who are larger sizes, this indent for the waist is not so significant that it will look strained on you and perhaps will make it appear that you are not a larger size. I only suggest this and do not know it as a fact because I've not seen these Columbia vests on others.Overall, I am absolutely thrilled to know that Columbia makes great vests that fit well and are made to be worn over and over again. I'm sure, though, that this "addiction" to Columbia fleece will not be good for my budget!

Just what I needed to replace my old “tried and true” fleece vest. The Nocturnal Blue is a bit deeper, nearly closer to Black than traditional Navy, but is clearly on the blue spectrum when held up to other things that are black. The medium is true to size (women’s 8/10) - and hits at mid-hip for me at nearly 5’4.” It even has a bit of stretch for comfort and movement. Two side zip pockets are roomy enough to hold a phone & also has 2 inside slip pockets for other slim/small items. Very cozy without being bulky. As usual, Columbia comes through with quality and function!

Such a great best to wear for work. I work as a registered nurse and my unit gets cold during the winter months. It’s such a grey addition to my work wardrobe I can easily peel it off if I need to or throw it back on over my scrubs! It’s super soft, wears well gives me additional pockets which is super important as a nurse. I have bought it in several colors!
