Editorial Review: Product Description: Stay toasty and warm in this Benton Springs Zipper Fleece from Columbia®. "Maximum Thermal Retention" fleece offers quick-drying, non-pilling performance. The jacket zips up the front and features a drawcord hem and hand-warming pockets. 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.

 Rating: - columbia jacketI ORDERED THIS JACKET, GOT IT PRETTY QUICK, LIKED IT SO MUCH I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE AS A GIFT. WHAT AN EASY WAY TO SHOP.. FROM NOW ON ANYTHING I CAN BUY ONLINE I WILL. Rating: - Great jacket!I've recommended this item to all my friends. It's very comfortable, and looks good on. The quality of the fabric, fit and style is outstanding. Inside pockets are plus, outside pockets zip to keep your stuff safe. Perfect for a cool summer night, or a chilly fall day. I'm always looking for something warm to put on, that doesn't feel bulky and dowdy, or weigh you down. This jacket fits the bill. Not to mention I got a great price, speedy service, and I love the color. I want more! Rating: - Love Love Love this JacketI absolutely love this sweat shirt - the color is fabulous and I wear it all the time. It washes and wears well. It is true to size. The only thing I don't like about it are the inside pockets are made of a dark grey fabric, that you can see if you don't have the jacket zipped up - it would look better if they used a color more similar to the outside. Rating: - Cozy!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 ... Read More Rating: - Columbia Benton Springs FleeceBought the winter white fleece jacket for my teen daughter, she loves it, and it washes really well, so I bought another in beet (deep red) for myself. These are well made and fit great - we share them and will probably buy more! At half the price you find in the stores, you can afford more colors! |
