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.

 nice jacket March 12, 2010
ruffcutt (alabama)
Nice jacket but the fit was not what I was expecting. I found it a good home. The jacket was a little shorter than I was expecting and the cut was on the small side.

Accordion player (Boston, MA)
Got this for a friend who was in the hospital. Wanted easy-on and easy-off. Fit just right. She put it on and wore it all the rest of the time she was there (3 days)- and a lot of the time when she came home.
Love It February 20, 2010
Tawanda (Bella Vista, AR United States)
I usually wear a medium, but after reading other reviews, I got a small. It's a perfect fit. The Beet color is attractive too.
 VERY THIN February 18, 2010
Stefanie J. Martinez (Liberty , SC USA)
It is not what I expected at all. I have another fleece that I paid alot less for and it keeps me warm. This is paper thin. Disappointed in this columbia jacket
 Mucho inferior to my old Columbia fleece jacket W 207 WL6114 February 14, 2010
Carolyn J. Street (Castro Valley, CA United States)

I was trying unsuccessfully to replace a really nice white Columbia fleece jacket that I bought some years ago which resisted stains amazingly, looks really nice on me, and goes with everything. This is not it. This (Benton Springs Style Number 209 WL 6114) is a cheap imitation of my old fleece Columbia jacket (style number 207 WL6114).
I bought three Benton Springs jackets on 1-27-2010 at Sports Authority and I'm returning at least the two white ones, where the difference in quality is really noticable. I'm going to keep a navy blue one where the inferior cut, styling, workmanship, and quality control is not as noticable. In white, mine look cheap and slightly flawed, workmanship wise. I have another white fleece jacket from Walmart with the same problem that came as a liner with a (cheap) white raincoat.
Another difference is that the new ones are fuzzier, softer and thicker and the white is pinker. That would be fine if it hung and fit nicely like it's predessor.
It's so hard to replace women's clothes when they wear out, even in classic styles. Often I have to go to another brand to get the same thing since it's "out of style" in the brand I start with. Are they assuming it never wears out? The zipper eventually broke on my original Columbia fleece jacket, not before I got a lot of wear out of it, and a white jacket cannot stay stain free forever even though this fabric was very stain resistant.
