Stylish comfort
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this vest. I’ve purchased a total of 19 Columbia vests, jackets, and T-shirt’s for myself and as gifts for my friends and family. All of the products have been of great quality. I finally got smart and discovered that this website offered larger sizes. (I require a 2X or 3X) my recent purchase was the navy fleece vest. I was hoping it would be a darker shade of navy, but it doesn’t seem to be even as dark as the one pictured. It’s still a nice shade of blue. As always, it offered optimal comfort at a very reasonable price. I will always buy Columbia products. I would like to see more plaid options in the larger women’s sizes.
Product Size Inconsistent
This is a nice vest and I have three I previously purchased and wear all the time. It wears well and washes up nicely. I have two in size 2x and one in size 3x that I purchased at a local store. I decided to check online for one in a different color. I was excited to find the same vest in multiple colors. I ordered a 3x, but when I tried it on, it was smaller than the size 2x and 3x I previously purchased. Columbia is such a nice quality, so I was disappointed that the sizing wasn't consistent. The size may have been marked incorrectly on this particular vest, but I will not take a chance in ordering another one due to the high cost for return shipping.
Cirrus Grey Heather
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Be warned: if you’re looking for a darker heather grey color, the Cirrus Grey Heather looks NOTHING like the picture. In reality, the zipper is the exact same color as the super light grey heather vest that it actually is. I was highly disappointed with this color option but decided to keep it because the fit and quality are awesome. I needed a looser fitting vest for layering as it’s now in the 40-20 degree zone throughout the days here in Seattle, and this vest serves its purpose. The zippered hand pockets are a superb bonus, as well. Four stars for quality, definitely not for the falsely displayed color option, though.
Good vest, but "Coral Reef" is not the color they show in pictures
This a great vest (good material, good construction, fits well, very practical) with one glaring problem. The color "coral reef" is such an intensely vibrant orange with a slight hint of pink that screens using RGB colors literally cannot accurately display the color. The photos and color swatch make it look like a bright pink. Don't be fooled- the actual color is closer to a traffic cone! It might work for some people, but it's not a good color on me. I'll still use the vest, because it IS a great quality product, but unless you look good in traffic cone orange, don't go for the coral reef version.
Cozy and comfortable
Since I had purchased a Columbia Vest that has since been discontinued from last year, I decided to try the Benton Springs Vest. It was almost the exact same one I had previously purchased. I decided to take a shot and I purchased three. I love them and might purchase more.The weight is just right for my walks in the park around the lake where it can be a little chilly. I use them in the car and don't feel like I have a bulky fabric on my back or arms. I don't get overheated, yet I don't feel the cold. I would highly recommend this item. The only objection I had was the cost at this time of year. They should have been discounted for the spring being I had to pay more already for the extended sizing.
It fits and I love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say...I have been heavy my whole life and have always struggled to find clothing that fits. For about a year and a half now - I have been working hard to lose weight and have wanted to be more active outdoors. In being active outside - I need clothing that will keep me warm but I also want to wear quality clothing brands (that normally do not cater to plus size patrons.) I bought this beautiful fleece Columbia vest and I was thrilled that it fit! Thank you Columbia for creating plus size clothes for those of us that want to be more active, get healthy but still be stylish while being warm! I will be buying more items and continue as I will need to update my wardrobe on my journey! THANK YOU COLUMBIA!
Just What I Wanted
My husband and I are both in our seventies and we try to get out and walk every day. I was searching for something to wear that would keep my torso warm without restricting my arm movements. These vests are exactly what I wanted. They are comfortable and are just the right layer for these fall days. When the rains come (and I know they will come) I plan to wear the vest underneath my water proof jacket. Also we like to keep our house pretty cool. These vests give the perfect amount of warmth and comfort for days when I am quilting all day. Plus I look pretty darn good!
Looks better than it feels
I had a Columbia Fleece vest that I LOVE ... So thought I would get a couple more, but these do not fit the same - longer in the body, so it buckles and the zipper makes a bump in the front when I sit, but happens even if I fold it under before I sit ... A little too wide in the shoulders ... Fleece material feels different to the touch, like running my nails on a chalk board ... Well constructed with nice features, but just does not fit me right ... I guess us 2X people are just not as tall as we should be ... I wore them both, so now they are mine
Way too large. Sent it back.
I was initially disappointed that some of the more shaped items were not available in extended sizes. So without much choice I ordered this one in a 1x. I had tried on one of the more shaped vests in a store and the xl was way too small. As I feared, this vest was shapeless and at least 5 inches bigger at the waist than the xl in the store that had a band at the bottom. I think you need to have larger women designing your larger sizes. There should not be a 5 inch difference between one style xl and another style in a 1x.
Beautiful vests!
As a large sized female I usually end up buying men's vests, which means they never come in pretty colors! So when I saw these lovely women's vests in extended sizes, for a very reasonable price, I decided to take a chance and order two, although I never purchase clothes on-line. I was thrilled when I received them, and I immediately purchased 2 more! Got many compliments on the colors, and both of my sisters ordered their own, after seeing how well mine fit. Great brand, great product, great value, great fit!
