Product Information

Full details

The Columbia Benton Springs Fleece Jacket is an ideal mid-layer or light outer layer for adult women seeking versatile warmth throughout the changing seasons. Crafted from soft, durable polyester, it offers a modern classic fit that prioritizes comfort and mobility; however, as it is designed for layering, those planning to wear it over bulky winter sweaters may find the slim-leaning fit requires sizing up.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Benton Springs Fleece is made of polyester fleece and is designed for warmth, not rain protection. We recommend wearing a waterproof shell over it in wet weather.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat.

Does it have an inside pocket?

This model features two secure zippered hand pockets on the exterior, but does not include dedicated interior stash pockets.

Is the material stretchy?

The polyester fleece has a natural slight give for movement, but it does not contain spandex, so it maintains its shape over time.

Can I use this for layering?

Yes, its low-bulk design makes it an excellent choice for a mid-layer under a heavier winter coat.

What is the fit like?

It features a 'modern classic fit,' which is designed to be flattering but not overly tight; if you prefer extra room, consider sizing up.

Troubleshooting

Pilling on the surface of the fleece

Pilling is common with synthetic fabrics; use a fabric shaver or lint remover to gently restore the texture.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Run a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate them or gently clean away any caught fabric threads.

Drawcord not staying in place

Ensure the toggle is fully depressed when adjusting and check for any debris inside the cord-lock mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for transitional weather
  • Adjustable drawcord hem provides a tailored, secure fit
  • Zippered hand pockets offer secure storage
  • Versatile design works well as a stand-alone piece or a mid-layer
  • Durable polyester material is easy to care for

Cons

  • Sizing tends toward a modern classic cut which may feel slim for some
  • Not windproof, so it requires an outer shell in high-wind conditions
  • Limited to mid-weight warmth, not suitable for extreme arctic cold

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your fleece, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fibers. It is recommended to air dry or tumble dry on a low, delicate setting. Avoid ironing or dry cleaning. When storing, ensure the jacket is fully dry to prevent moisture buildup within the fibers. Because of its lightweight profile, it pairs perfectly with Columbia's line of waterproof rain jackets for a comprehensive weather-ready system.
