Product Description
There's a reason that this Benton Springs Sweater is Columbia Sportswear's best-selling fleece style. The Benton's simplicity is its greatest strength. Made with MTR (Maximum Thermal Retention) fleece, you'll find the non-pilling, easy care fleece a blessing. Low-profile hand-warming pockets don't snag on whatever you're layering it under. Radial sleeves give freedom of movement for any sport or activity. Worn alone in the spring, or as a perfect layering piece, the Benton Springs is just plain good fleece. About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of ski-wear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company. Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that, it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60-year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign. The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

 Comfortable, Warm Jacket April 14, 2007

This fleece jacket is very light, soft and warm. Note that it runs a little big on sizing. Would buy again.
Great buy August 25, 2007

This jacket is extremely warm and comfortable. I ordered it true to my size (for t-shirts and such), and it was roomy enough to wear over a hooded sweatshirt. It's also great for layering under a thick winter jacket. I practically lived in this jacket last winter, and after excessive wearing and washing, the color black faded a little bit. I'm sure this problem won't be so noticeable with other colors.
Cozy! June 14, 2008

I own two Columbia Sportswear Women's Benton Springs Fleece jackets. I keep one in the car, even in the summer, for going to the movies or those mega-markets where they blast the AC!
In cooler weather, it's just perfect when it's not cold enough to wear a winter coat. When it's freezing cold, this is light enough to layer under a coat for another layer of warmth.
The fabric is very high quality -- very soft and never pills.It washes like a dream, never losing it's lush softness. The Benton Springs Fleece will be one of your wardrobe staples and you'll wonder how you ever lived without one (or two!)
It's also the perfect gift item for family or friends.
Nice looking June 27, 2006

I ordered the green one, which is quite a bit brighter than in the picture. I agree that it runs a bit large. I usually wear a small, and the extra small fits me perfectly. It's a great color, great cut, very soft and warm.
