Columbia Women's Benton Springs Hoodie

Love this!
May 17, 2012

I just received this in the mail yesterday. So far I am impressed. I am typically a North Face kinda' girl- but I saw this jacket and thought I should give it a try. I actually think it fits better for my body type than my North Face jackets. I am 5'7, 135 lbs, with an athletic and longer body type and a rather full chest. The small fits well in length, with enough room underneath to wear another fleece if need be. I highly recommend.

Columbia with Hood - Great
April 02, 2012

My girls have been asking for a Columbia jacket and since the stores never had a good selection I turned to the internet. I never knew there was one with a hood. It makes the jacket perfect since that's what was missing. They are durable and always in style. Altrec provided a great shopping experience - reasonably priced, fast shipping.

Not for those with long arms

I really wanted to like this fleece. I looked everywhere for the perfect fleece for my 6-week trip to South America, but this one wasn't it. It's warm, and comfortable, and well-fitting everywhere EXCEPT in the sleeves. I'm 5'8", 138 pounds with long arms. The size Small fit everywhere except the sleeves. They were pretty short. Bummer!

Great Quality/Great Price

This is my 3rd time using this site for a fleece/ hoody and ill continue to use this site because its cheap and it ships to my address in a day.. i love my fleeces they're very comfortable and i get them at a perfect price. They look good with almost all my jeans also.

Favorite fleece hoody
February 01, 2012

This fleece hoodie is weightless, soft and fluffy, feels great on. It's medium warmth, perfect as a spring/fall jacket, but also as an underlayer on cold winter days. A rare feature is that the hood zips up to your chin, so no need for a scarf. It runs large; I would recommend going one size down. I'm 5'1", 105 lbs, and the XS is quite roomy. The colors are rich. I got "light metal," and it is neutral but not boring, kind of a foggy blue-gray. Highly recommend!

Comfy Columbia Altrec Jacket

Super comfy fleece! I've been a huge fan of Columbia products for years but have a hard time finding fav fleeces that fit and last. Until now..... Love this Columbia fleece jacket and LOVE Altrec.com! Amazing customer service!!!

Wife loves it...
January 07, 2012

I bought this for my wife for Christmas. The fit seems to be right, she wears it often. It seems to be a nice fleece hoody for a good price, no real protection against the elements, but I knew that going in. My wife leaves it at the office for when she gets cold, seems well made. I a North Face guy, so not much experience with Columbia, we will see on durability. Good piece, good price.

5"8 with shoulders
December 31, 2011

The color, dark turquoise, is nice. It is slightly brighter/lighter than the name implies. The fleece is soft and a bit thinner than I expected. The small is too small for the 5' 8" inch, 130 lb young (18 yr old) women for whom this was a gift. The fit was too constricting in the shoulders. She has broad shoulders so this probably would not be a problem for many. It is not as warm or hefty as I expected.

Columbia never fails when it comes to quality. I've always loved their products and will continue to buy their merchandise. The color is beautiful and the variety of colors they offer is great.

Warm Jacket
December 18, 2011

The jacket is warm and I love the fact that I can pull the hood up when it's windy outside. It seems to be of good quality and I hope to get many years of wear.

Blue healing color

I loved the color of the jacket when I first saw it and it feels good on even if is 100% polyester and I am a cotton person but when it comes to stay warm I guess that this jacket does the work very well. I enjoy the fit and got a S rather than M because I like fitted so I am happy to have on my late afternoon walks in beautiful Santa Barbara- CA. ox hope it helps.

This fleece jacket is absolutely comfortable and very soft. I wore it on a 50 degree light windy day layered underneath with my dual fold wicking thermal shirt, my Nike performance shirt and my poly-lined vest and it kept me warm. I bought the Gun Metal color - which is more like a silver blue - in x-large which made it roomy enough to layer it with the aforementioned items and because I do power walking, it kept me warm. The sleeves are long enough to cover my hands and easy to push up if you get too warm. It's not lined so that's where my vest came in handy. And by the way, the neck part of the jacket keeps the wind from hitting your throat. I'm looking at other colors now. Highly recommend this jacket. Oh, yeah, it's Columbia! Another one of my favorite brands.

The first day I wore my Women's Benton Springs Hoodie I received 3 compliments on the color itself. This hoodie so soft, comfy and stylish. I'm conisdering getting another one in a different color.

Nice product

Great product . I am a college student at Frostburg state the winters are harsh but I just got this and I wear it all the time . The fleece quality is thicker than the the other colombia that is worn under my actual snow jacket

Great jacket true to size. Many colors! Would recommend as a excellent fleece! Fast shipping as this was my first order from Altrec. Will for sure order from Altrec again.

I purchased this Hoodie a couple of months back, in burnt orange. The color and the design are great, love the zip pockets and the hood and it is true to size. However I was a bit disappointed about the fleece quality, but this might be just me... It is shiny and appears somewhat more "artificial" compared with other type of fleece I've seen/own. Other than that, it is fine; I haven't washed it yet so don't know how it'll behave afterwards. Shipping was fast and the items arrived in great condition, as it'd been my experience with Altrec so far.

Happy...Happy...Happy

I am very happy about the my spring hoodie, love the hood, is nice to have on a windy, chilly day. I am super excited about the color, and love the pockets, with zippers, to keep personal items safe. I would recommend this spring hoodie!

Best purchase ever
April 07, 2011

I loved the jacket I received. As a matter of fact I am buying two more without the hood today in two different colors, maybe even three, will see. I really love this jacket, it feels so comfortable.

The fleece is so soft and comfortable! The hood makes it unique from your average fleece. Make sure you look at the size chart before ordering. I usually wear a medium but ordered a size small based off the chart. Fits great

I LOVE this jacket!

This jacket is wonderful! I was SOOO pleased when I first received my order and tried the jacket on! The slim-cut fit is very flattering, and overall, the jacket feels true to size if not a little large. (At 5'3", 118 lbs, I ended up with an XS after ordering a size Small first, but it was too large; the XS is perfect.) It is a great weight for spring -- not heavy at all but VERY warm!! The hood makes this jacket a bit different from the ordinary fleece and adds warmth as well, and the oxide blue color is gorgeous -- great for people who have blue eyes!! The jacket is a great value at this price -- I'm planning on ordering it in even more colors!
