Customer reviews for Women’s Benton Springs™ Vest
Review 1 for Women’s Benton Springs™ Vest
I really like this vest for 3-season wear over a long or short sleeved T in central NC, and under a light jacket in winter. Great colors, really soft. Wish it were a little longer (or scooped) and had a "princess seam fitting," for a more feminine, not tight, fit. The Medium I ordered had 4 inches extra to grab down the sides (I'm a 38 chest) so I reordered two sizes down figuring on an extra 3-4 inches---It's cut very wide and boxy, and has about 1/2 inch stretch to it, so consider that when ordering: what you wear it over and what fit you like. The price/quality are good, so I will make a little compromise in the style and just order smaller.
I would recommend this product.

Perfect. Bought for layering on a 2 week trip to the Baltics where temps vary throughout the day. Wore every day. Very pleased with the look and performance. Runs true to size.

I was looking for a light weight vest to wear over a tee shirt. Some vests are too bulky and warm. I purchased the small based on the size chart. I am 5' 7"and 122 lbs.
I would recommend this product.

Although this is an excellent vest, the color on the internet was listed as Violet. It was not any shade of violet, and I would call it Magenta or some type of pink. I had ordered these for a group of volunteers and unfortunately, had to pay over $20.00 to have them returned. Tough when working on donations from sponsors. It would be wise to change the color noun to something closer to the true color. PCH
I would recommend this product.

I'm a return customer annually for at least one fleece vest. The garment washes well, and is very comfortable to wear. I especially like the light weight and ease of packing!
I would recommend this product.

I just bought this vest. I'm taking it as part of layering for an upcoming vacation to Alaska. We were advised to prepare for all kinds of weather so this will be worn over a couple of long-sleeved layers and under a rain jacket. I've also worn it around the house on cool nights and mornings since I received it. It seems to do the job and offer the right amount of warmth without the bulk.
I would recommend this product.

I have been looking for a black vest for use on the tennis court. I wanted a snug fit and a length that didn't hike up when I went to serve. When I opened the packaging, the fabric was so light weight, I asked myself how could the vest offer the warmth I was seeking. Wow, is my comment to all my questions. Even though I am a medium, I ordered the small (for a snug fit) and am so happy with the vest. It washes and wears for my constant use both on and off the tennis court. I am now considering other colors.
I would recommend this product.

Great product. It is more of the fuzzy fleece rather than the tighter, flat laying fleece that I was looking for. That's the only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I'm still satisfied with the vest. It laundered well too. Highly recommend!
I would recommend this product.

After purchasing a large size I ordered a medium. I love the vest and the way it is made. I wear vests in the house as layering instead of running up the heat. Problem lies in the color that the website shows - they are not true.
I would recommend this product.

Bought my mother this vest. Very soft, beautiful color...Glaze Green. She had another one in another color and wanted another one. She was very happy with it. It provides alot of warmth without being heavy or bulky. My mother usually wears a Medium in shirts, the women's large vest fit great. Allowed enough room to wear shirt or sweater underneath.
I would recommend this product.

These vests are a great way to stay warm in the winter while keeping freedom of motion for your arms. You can roll up your sleeves to work in a sink while still staying warm, too.

The color is brighter in person than it looks like online, but I actually like it better. I love these vests! I have a couple and plan on ordering a couple more. The fit is great, it's warm, and can be dressed up or dressed down.
