Full details
The Columbia Benton Springs Full Zip Fleece Jacket is designed for adult women seeking a reliable, warm layer for chilly outdoor conditions or everyday wear. Crafted from soft MTR filament fleece, it provides excellent insulation and a comfortable, relaxed fit. While it excels at providing cozy warmth in cold weather, it is a non-technical fleece and lacks waterproof or windproof outer shell properties, making it best suited as a mid-layer or for mild, dry conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Static electricity buildup
Lightly mist the fleece with a fabric spray or use a dryer sheet in the dryer to reduce static.
Visible pilling of fabric
Use a fabric shaver or lint remover carefully to trim away the pilled fibers after washing.
Zipper feels stiff
Rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a tiny bit of wax along the zipper teeth to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Benton Springs jacket requires no complex setup; simply adjust the internal draw cord once to match your waist preference for a secure seal against the cold. It is highly compatible with standard shell jackets, fitting easily underneath most standard-cut waterproof outerwear. To care for your fleece, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the fleece fibers. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry to maintain the softness and integrity of the polyester material.
