Columbia Womens Benton Springs Black Outdoor Recreation for Outdoor Clothing Review

Perfect fit! I'm 5.3", about 130 pounds, have a small bust and am small and loose enough to be worn comfortably with sweaters and sweatshirts while still being flattering. Even with the zip up and layers underneath it's perfect and not too tight. It washes very well and looks new when it comes out of the dryer. I have a dark gray that goes with almost anything, it's a nice dark gray. I'll probably get this get the same one in other colors because it's so comfortable!

I am very grateful to those who took the time to leave a review! I'm size 12/14 and 38C --- I usually always order XL but I read the reviews and ordered L --- I wasn't really expecting this to fit or be quite tight in the chest/waist. Hey great fit! I'm glad you checked out the reviews. The length is great too. It seems to keep me warm but as the day gets sunnier I don't get hot. I've worn it at least 50 times and washed about 10 times and it looks brand new. However, I make the line dry.

Good fit, keeps the back warm and even fits well under a blazer if needed for extra warmth and about the same volume as a sweater. Yes, it's more of a dark charcoal than true black, but it goes well with gray or black, the flash is black. An additional feature and a pleasant surprise are straight pockets on the inside of each front part, as well as 2 zipped pockets on the front. The price is great (I compare it to LL Bean and even Patagonia, not the cheap stuff). I am very happy with it and am…

I bought this medium sized vest when I was about 170 pounds and 5ft 6 inches tall. It fit perfectly even on my large hips. I've worn it a lot because it's just the thing for Texas winters and a cold house. It wasn't as soft as I thought it would be. It's a kind of fleece material that I didn't really like. I wanted a very soft vest but it still worked! Unfortunately I had a baby and gained 25 pounds and now it doesn't fit me. My chest is 38g, so there are problems with the hips. But overall I…

I LOVE this vest. It's sooo comfortable. I got it on average after reading the reviews and looking at the sizing chart - I usually wear a size Large. I'm 170 pounds, 5ft 7in and wear a size 38D. It suits me perfectly. He flatters me very much. It doesn't squeeze my chest and lays well on the mid-section of the body. This is the ideal length - about 2 inches below the waist. It has zippered pockets and doesn't look bulky or clunky on my stomach. It is very well made and warm. I've washed it…

First, the fabric is very thin, allowing a shirt with a pattern underneath to show through. This means that it is not very warm here. Second, it's huge. I ordered an XS and I can pull out four more inches in the back! The shape is square and so unflattering that it only looks bearable when I'm wearing a very padded bra. Most women who wear XS don't have large breasts, so I don't know why there is so much room in them. Because it's so bulky, it sticks out in front when I sit down. In addition…

Bought small and black. As other reviewers have noted, the black isn't a true black, it's more of an anthracite gray, and I agree with that. I needed something warm to work from home, but I don't have to roll up my jacket sleeves to do the dishes. I bought 2 for my mum from the Columbia store last year but after Covid I didn't go back so Revain came to the rescue. The fleece is nice and thick, especially the collar and I can stand up to warm my neck when I have my hair on. It's form fitting but
