ColumbiaWomen's Benton Springs Vest

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

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!

Love the fit of this vest! I'm a size 12, 36" bust, 5'11", 150 lb, and I ordered a medium. It's not tight, but skims the body so it doesn't look bulky at all, and the length is great even for my long torso. It has great functional large pockets.I ordered the Dark Nocturnal color and it is just exactly what I wanted, a beautiful true navy. Love it!

I love the fit, so I will keep the vest. I am a curvy woman, so it's hard to find a good fit around the middle/abdomen. This vest is near perfect for me. It's soft and the fabric is thick enough. The one downside is the color. It is listed as "black," but it's really a dark gray. Dealbreaker, no, but it may bother some customers.

A nice heavy fleece. Nothing wimpy about this vest. The collar is high and stays up. The zipper is sturdy. The pockets are deep. Perfect for wearing in the house during cold weather, and perfect to wear outdoors in cool weather.

Very cute and stylish. Nice weight to it but still soft and comfortable. Perfect to layer with for different weather. Perfect sizing and they have good stretch.

I’m so happy with this vest! Keeps my core warm & cozy & fits well over my layering, which is includes a fleece lined tshirt, a thermal tshirt & a sweatshirt. I go above & beyond to avoid wearing a heavy coat, can’t stand feeling my arms restrained doing chores. I wear this vest all day unless i go outside for a long period of time which then requires a regular heavy coat. I ordered it on petite XL to be sure it would fit comfortably over my layers. I will get another one in another color next winter or if i see a price drop deal before then.

Columbia Women’s Benton Springs VestI am quite pleased with my Columbia vest. I am hard to please and have been looking for a long time for a well-fitting, nicely made vest. I like that it has a sturdy zipper, and the pocket zippers are an added feature. The pockets are warm and deep enough to keep your hands warm on those cold days.Some other brands of vests have seam binding sewn around the arm holes but not these. Columbia properly hems the arm holes in the same manner as they hem around the bottom edge. These are quality. The collar is thick, and I would have liked it half as thick but who knows, it might come in handy on those colder days. It washes up nicely leaving no wrinkles, so I hung it to dry. I would have preferred that the vest was a true dark black and not charcoal. Attached is my old vest and Columbia vest on top for a comparison.I am 5’7”, 135 lbs. The medium is perfect. Not too loose and a heavy sweater worn under it works just fine.
