Helvetia Cropped Half Snap Pullover - Women's

Boxy and no pockets

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] REALLY OVERSIZED and not as soft as I would like. Is square and boxy. I am usually a L or XL and I bought the XL and feel like a L would definitely have worked. Also wish it had a kangaroo pocket in front - it has zero pockets which makes it a bummer because I wanted to wear it out and about and there’s no place to quickly stash your phone/keys, etc. The print itself is beautiful but pockets and a softer more flexible fabric would make this perfect.

Cute and cozy!

Perfect fleece! I would say order your normal size, it’s supposed to be a slightly oversized fit. LOVE the drawstrings at the hem, makes it much more flattering at my waist. Definitely recommend!

Helvetica not as good as the pic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disappointed in this one. It's pilly (and I haven't washed it yet.) It's not as pretty as the pic. Also, the fit is boxy and not flattering. I fell in love with this when I saw it, biut the Helvetica isn't nearly as pretty as what it shows online.

Good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shipping and delivery was reasonable, I got it in about two or so weeks. I’m a little bummed it doesn’t have side pockets and the one chest pocket is weighed down by whatever’s in it. It’s also not for weather too cold unless you have a sweater or something warmer either underneath or over this pullover. Also the buttons get really cold since they’re metal which isn’t the best to have cold metal on your face or neck when it’s already cold out. But it’s nice either way.

True to size. Super soft.

Cropped length is perfect and matches the product photo. Super soft and loose enough for layering.

Fleece of your dreams

Amazing!! I purchased colorway Gumdrop and it's the purple of my dreams! I can not wait until it gets colder to wear this at all times. Again, another perfect crop, the sleeves aren't too long and I love the cinch incase you wanted an oversized fit but more cinched at your waist!

Favorite fleece ever!

Favorite fleece. I now own 3 different colors and I can only assume I’ll keep buying more! They run slightly large, so if you want to size down for a snug fit, you could. I bought my usual size and like the extra room.

I bought the top for my wife and she absolutely loves it! She says it keeps her pretty warm on cooler days and she adores the color combination. Good purchase!!

Great purchase for my wife’s ongoing collection of Columbia tops!

This is a wonderful, cozy, and warm mid-layer. It's roomy so sizing up is not necessary. I find most Columbia products are true to size. It is not too bulky, I could have gone for the medium size and likely would have fit a bit better than the large as the sleeves were pretty long.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the Helvetia Cropped Half Snap Fleece Pullover. As someone who owns many fleeces (a must-have when you live in Utah in the winter), I have been quite pleased with this fleece. Designed with outdoor enthusiasts in mind, this fleece is both lightweight and comfortable, making it the perfect layering piece for any adventure. One of my favorite features of this fleece is the draw cords at the waist, which allow you to adjust the fit to your liking. Personally, I like a more fitted look, but if you don't, you could just leave the draw cords loose. I've also gone climbing in this fleece and appreciated that when tightened, the draw cords hold the fleece in place pretty well. The biggest downside of this fleece in my opinion is the lack of pockets. I would have really liked hand pockets on either side or a big "kangaroo" style pouch to hold items like my phone or wallet. While I wish it had pockets, this does not detract from the overall performance of the fleece, as this fleece is meant more as a layering piece. I do appreciate that this fleece isn't bulky to layer with. Overall, I would highly recommend the Helvetia Half Snap Fleece to anyone looking for a comfortable and versatile layering piece. Its lightweight construction and adjustable fit make it perfect for outdoor activities, and it's sure to keep you warm and comfortable during any adventure. #BackcountryGearhead
