Women's Columbia Benton Springs Fleece Hooded Jacket Color: Dark Nocturnal Size: X LARGE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been looking at this longer fleece jacket for quite a while. I found it on sale at a very good price and bought one. I was looking for a Navy Blue fleece jacket and this one called Dark Nocturnal fit the bill. The size L fit is great (though if I gain some weight around the middle it may be snug). It has a nice shape to it. I love the hood and the collar that comes up to my chin. The sleeves are nice and long and roomy, so it will be fine with gloves. An absolute must, is the two-way zipper, which I can pull up when sitting in the car or pull up the collar to my chin. I tried it on in 95 degree weather, so it seems fine with what I was wearing. Hopefully with a heavier top it will be ok. I love the zippered hand warmer pockets and the inner nylon pockets that are long enough for a wallet or cell phone. Perfect for me !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the length of these jackets. It's a variation of my favorite design and meant for chiller weather. I love wearing this when the weather is unexpectedly chilly in the morning, but warm in the afternoon. It's perfect for that random variation in temperature.
