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

I purchased this for a trip to Alaska and it was perfect!

Nice sweater and the material is comfortable. Personally i couldn't get the coller to fold. When the coller if not folded it isn't even. But the sweater itself is nice.

Nice fleece. I'd like for it to hold its shape a bit better. It tends to conform more to my pear shaped body than I'd like. Still, it is an excellent value.

Great jacket at a good price. Fit me well(6'199lbs). Does not have bottom fastener to tighten, but not a problem for me.

Nicely made mid weight fleece. It is handsome, and my wife likes it which is what I most care about.

I ordered a medium in eucalyptus. I'm 5' 10", 167lbs. I have had it for about two months and washed it a couple of times so I cannot comment on long term wear. The fabric, construction and color are really nice. The body and sleeves are the right length for me. The cut is on the trim side. If you have a large chest you may find your regular size constricting. Likewise, if you're a few months along with a carb baby, it will definitely show. But I find the cut works for me. The biggest drawback is the collar. It can be annoying. It is a stand up collar and does not flop open as does a competitor's version of this jacket. The collar instead stands straight up and rubs against the neck. If I haven't shaved in a day or two eg, every weekend the stubbles rubs against the fleece like Velcro. If you look at the photo of the Bean Outsider, the guy with his dog, you will see how the collar stands up close to the neck. If you have a long, skinny neck, the design may work for you. Can the collar be folded down? Sure. But the look is awkward. An improvement would be to make the collar less tall and less structured.

Very nice look with the smooth fleece on outside but already starting to pill.

Great looking jacket. I wouldn't call it a fleece and not as warm as I had hoped. But I do like it.

Sorry I cannot give you 5 stars for this. I purchased it for my husband and he isn't thrilled about it. But, he reassured me that he will wear itsomeday. Ok

Keeps me warmer than I expected! This jacket is well made, and I anticipate it will last me a long time.

I can't honestly fault the jacket. My expectation was that it would be a bit more lush and puffy. Instead, the fabric is fairly flat and, to my taste at least, not especially beautiful. But I'm sure others would disagree and find this to be a perfectly nice, relatively light-weight jacket. And you can always send it back, right?

True to size. Good weight and roomy enough to wear a sweater underneath.

Would love if alterations were offered. Sleeves a bit long for me, but body is good and material is wonderful.

Great look and durable for any occasion. Disappointed that the new versions of this all have llbean logo on the front vs discretely on the bottom hem before.

I really like that the outside of the jacket is knit and not fuzzy. It's probably better if you're not short. I wear a 17x33 shirt and the size L sleeves hang beyond my knuckes because the sleeves are quite long but don't have any adjustability at the wrist. Still, I like it better than the one it replaced.

Sleeves are a little long for me. Collar is a little too high as well

Very warm, but doesn't flex as much as other brands

I have this in three colors; green, blue, and gray. For some reason, the green one collects lint and dog fur like crazy! It is never presentable, even after washing. But the blue and gray ones don't do that for some reason and look fine. The green is the newest one, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. My dogs have chewed up the blue and gray ones, however, so I am ordering another now, because I love everything else about it. Just don't get green!

Bought a men's version of the jacket as it has a chest pocket. This is where I keep my cell phone though I am a female. Got the size small, I am 5'11" and 125 pounds.

While this is a great sweater that looks nice too, it's lacking in one area. Even the slightest bit of wind basically takes away all thermal protection somehow. When I wear under a rain jacket though it's like being wrapped in a wool blanket. So just be aware this isn't for outdoors windy cold it's more for inside on a chilly morning. I also got a large (because the smallest Tall size) and it's a little baggy, being that this isn't an outer layer due to no wind resistance I'd rather it be a slimmer fit.

Warm and with convenient pockets and a front zipper

Great jacket. I would like to have a less fleecy outside, but otherwise it works well for me.

Good solid jacket; at 6'5" I need the tall version

Generally satisfied. Nice to see XXXL Tall Sizes! Wish "fleece more plush".

Great quality fleece. Tapers in the back which is a great touch. Sleeve length is good. The cuffs could be a bit slimmer and the body could be as well, but overall it's great. And very warm.
