Full details
This Columbia Women's Benton Springs Full Zip fleece jacket is designed for adult women seeking comfortable warmth during colder weather. Its primary benefit is the exceptionally soft MTR filament fleece that provides cozy insulation, while a potential caveat for some users might be its universal, easy fit which prioritizes range of motion over a highly tailored silhouette.

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.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this fleece jacket is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and comfort and can be layered under a waterproof shell for protection against rain and snow.
How do I choose the correct size?
The jacket features a universal, easy fit. Refer to standard sizing charts for women's apparel and consider that it's designed for comfortable range of motion, so it may fit more loosely than a tailored garment.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
Yes, the soft fleece provides good insulation. For very cold conditions, it's recommended to layer it over a base layer and potentially under a heavier, insulated or waterproof outer jacket.
How do I clean and maintain the fleece?
Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Avoid using bleach and do not iron. Follow these steps to maintain the softness and integrity of the fleece.
Does this jacket have an adjustable hem or hood?
This specific model features a collared neck and full-zip closure but does not typically include an adjustable hem or a hood. It is designed for simple comfort and warmth.
What are the benefits of the zippered pockets?
The two zippered security pockets are designed to keep your personal items, such as keys, phone, or wallet, safe and prevent them from falling out during activity.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper track. You can also try rubbing a pencil lead or a bit of lip balm along the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Fleece appears matted or less soft after washing
Avoid high heat drying, as this can damage fleece fibers. Use a low heat setting or air dry. Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush to restore its loft.
Pilling on the fleece fabric
Pilling is common with fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid excessive friction in the wash or dryer. Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove any existing pills.
