FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The jacket is crafted from 100% polyester MTR filament fleece, known for its softness and warmth.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Columbia sizing chart provided. Measure your chest and waist at the fullest and natural points, respectively, and compare these measurements to the chart. International products may have different sizing, so precise measurement is recommended.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
This fleece jacket is designed for warmth and comfort in cool to cold weather. It is not waterproof and is best used as a layering piece or in dry conditions. For rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.
What are the washing instructions?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only if needed. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly. Do not iron or dry clean.
Does it have an adjustable hem or cuffs?
The standard Benton Springs Full Zip jacket typically features standard cuffs and an elastic hem. It does not usually have adjustable drawcords at the hem or cuffs.
What is the center back length of the jacket?
The center back length is approximately 25 inches, providing standard coverage.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The two zippered security pockets are designed to hold small items securely. While many standard-sized smartphones may fit, larger 'plus' sized phones might be a tight fit or not fit at all. It's best to check the pocket dimensions if this is a primary concern.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can mat the fleece fibers. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the fibers.
Zipper is sticking
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's snagging on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. You can lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a bit of clear lip balm.
Jacket feels too tight for layering
Check the sizing chart carefully before purchase. If already owned, consider wearing thinner layers underneath or exchanging for a larger size if available. The fit is designed to be comfortable but not overly baggy.
