- Is the Benton Springs warm enough for winter?
- As a midlayer under a coat, yes. On its own it suits cool spring and fall days, not freezing weather.
- How does it fit?
- It has a slim cut that runs close to the body. Size up if you plan to wear a sweater underneath.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The polyester fleece is not water-resistant or windproof, so wear a shell in rain or wind.
- What is it made of?
- 100% polyester MTR filament fleece, with a full front zipper and two zippered hand pockets.
- Can it go in the washing machine?
- Yes. Machine wash cold and tumble dry low; avoid fabric softener, which mats the fleece.
- How does it compare with a softshell jacket?
- The fleece is softer and warmer for its weight but offers no weather protection. A softshell resists wind and light rain but feels less cozy.
