Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Full Zip Jacket

At 1st I was disappointed to find that my previous 2 jackets had been discontinued. I took a chance the this jacket was a viable substitute. Was I ever surprised to find that they had improved the design! The zipper now has a draft flap while retaining the style of the old design that i had come to enjoy - inner pockets, locker loop, chest pocket - and I think the fleece is better. All-in-all I am very pleased with the purchase.

I love my sweater jacket. I got it int he red. It looks great. It fit s great. It's comfortable. It's urbane as well as country. BUT, that LL Bean color logo patch on the left chest plate: It's just gotta go. Or get a serious and good contemporary redesign. It just ruins the overall look. Even if it was black and white and smaller it would look better, much better. I'm going to take a seam ripper to it and see if I can get it off. As a designer it just doesn't work aesthetically. But overall I love my sweater jacket and the color is perfect.

Well-made, solid construction, smartly designed with the "right" amount, location and sealing type (zippers) for the generously-sized pockets. Nice high neck so that, when zipped all the way up, provides a good seal against the elements and wind. I was recently in Alaska cruising around in the waters in front of Mendenhall glacier this fleece jacket more than earned its keep.

My husband needed either a fleece or sweatshirt with a full zipper opening. He didn't want a hood, so this looked like it would work best. The fabric is very nice, comfortable like a sweatshirt, but it looks a lot less casual. He is very happy with it, but only got to wear it a few times before summer arrived! He looks forward to wearing it a lot this fall.

More of a zippered sweater to go under a shell than a coat (though it could be the latter, too) it is perfect for San Francisco summers.

Nice fit, nice weight, good for layering

A little pricey, however, a great product.

I live in Michigan and this Fleece Jacket is perfect to get 'between seasons.' Layer it is freezing temps, use as a stylish jacket in late Winter, early Spring. I prefer the full-zip style for ease of wear and comfort.

i had fleece jackets before. This one was different in a very nice way. The outside was not like fleece it was more of a smooth feel. I may order another of these next fall.

I bought two of these sweater jackets and I am very happy with the fit and look. They are comfortable. Perfect for those days when you need an extra layer that is not too heavy. I would recommend the product.

Quality continues to highlight LLBean's continued success. We rely on your products like no other clothing company.

My warmest fleece. I wear this as a layer underneath my insulated parka on THE coldest days when I ride my motorcycle. The usual Bean fit - proper but generous (not slim or tight). Excellent zipper, no mechanical issues. Don't even bother looking for something comparable that is less expensive: Price is what you pay, Value is what you get. Excellent Value with this heavy zippered fleece!!!

My wife purchased 2 of these early in winter and practically lived in them for the season. I broke down and purchased a jacket and a vest recently. I am as happy with them as she is. Spring has been cold and wet and I find them to be a perfect weight and warmth for this period.

I work on a school bus. With chilly mornings this jacket is perfect and not overbearing heavy.

Son loves it! Changed size for regular as tall was too long. Now just right. Nice material and orange color very nice.

Bought this for my boy friend. Fits perfectly. Arms reach past wrists. Covers back when bending. Great Fabric. Very Comfy. Washable. Looks Classy. Thumbs Up!

My husband got me one of these for Christmas and I love it so much that I got him one...just because! They are so soft and comfy. Only thing we noticed is that if we wear something long sleeved, it grabs a bit when putting it on or off. But that's really a non issue since it's such a wonderful jacket.

I love this fleece jacket. It is my go-to for warmth on a chilled rainy day or cool night when I need that extra layer of warmth. It fits great underneath a rain shell and always looks neat-no pills, etc., even as I wear it constantly. I highly recommend this as an everyday sweater alternative; especially as the ash gray goes with just about anything. Originally bought the medium as it runs generous, but returned it for the large to give me a more comfortable fit.

We've purchased 2 of these, one for each of us. We like the construction, the comfort and warmth very much. The collar works well either up or down.

Bought to replace one from another top retailer lost on vacation - this fleece jacket is heads and tales above the old one in quality of fabric and construction. Fit true to size.

excellent, fit very good

Wish you did a XXX size of the full zip and the quarter zip fitness fleece. I am a big guy but I wear my XX all the time. I wish I could put another layer underneath or even wear two fitness fleece. Love these things. Photo is the two items I am talking about.

I bought this for my fianc, had already bought him the pullover version, and I have 2 jackets myself. We wore them ALL winter every day. We keep our house pretty frosty to save $$$, and as soon as you put it on, you're like 10 degrees warmer.

This is very well made and very nice looking. It has a flap of material behind the zipper to minimize air infiltration. Two large open pockets inside for light gloves or whatever. I like the chest pocket for my mobile phone in addition to the two zippered external pockets. This is a nice outer layer for fairly cool days/nights. It is a medium weight, which is heavier than I would wear for a middle layer unless it was just under a wind or rain shell. I like the lighter weight fleeces for a middle layer under other insulated jackets. I find this slips on nicely over my bare arms and likely also over a normal button down shirt, but I find the sleeves are a little binding when I put this on over a corduroy shirt or a turtleneck due to the interaction of the fleece and the shirt material. I can't just slip it on, I have to work at getting my arms through. So keep that in mind.

I took a trip to Italy a few weeks ago where the weather was low's- 40 deg high 50/55 deg. This was the perfect sweater for those conditions. I was great to have on the plane too. Simply said, this is my new favorite sweater, where it often. just the right weight and warmth for those cooler pre-summer mornings. if you don't have one of these babies...you need to get one!!
