- Is the Benton Springs warm enough for winter?
- As a mid layer under a shell, yes for mild winters. On its own it suits cool fall and spring days, not freezing wind.
- Does it run true to size?
- It runs roomy and somewhat boxy. Most shoppers who want a closer fit size down; those layering over sweaters keep their usual size.
- Is it water-resistant?
- No. The fleece is not treated for rain or wind, so wear a waterproof shell over it in wet weather.
- How does it compare with the Steens Mountain fleece?
