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

I bought this sweater jacket and really liked the fit and the Hunter Green color was excellent but I was very disappointed in the fact that the LLBean logo in bright yellow and a different green than the sweater stood out like a sore thumb! I bought this to wear as a casual jacket for work but it definitely should have had a tonal logo, if any, rather than the one that was on it. In my opinion, it really didn't do justice to the beautiful dark hunter green color of the sweater. Would buy it again in a minute if the logo was the same color as the sweater.

The cuffs should be elasticized, as they were years ago. A return to yesteryear would be good.

It is nice for fall days and inside wear. It keeps you warm.

My husband likes the layering capability and variety of colors. He wishes the collar was not so tall; he has an average length neck, and unless he wears a collared shirt under it, it rubs on his neck.

It's a great jacket/sweater/fleece, no doubt about it. Quality seems excellent and the style concept is great. HOWEVER, I do not know what is going on with llbean's sizing lately. Large items seem way to big (my height and weight should be a large), so I went with medium tall but as with many of bean's other "slightly fitted" items the shoulders are just too wide. I've had similar problems with flannels and button down shirts from bean. Too bad, since the quality is so good and this is literally the only brand I have this problem with.

It took me a while to get the right fit but a medium tall was just right for my size. I am somewhat tall and slim. I had lost some weight recently and did not realize the difference that made. I really like this jacket. It zips all way up the front and provides some extra warmth more than most polar fleece I have experienced. It is a little stiff in how it hangs on me but I have adjusted and actually like that style. I can wear this in town going out or on the trail. It is versatile for my tastes. and I am very happy with this purchase.

Not bad but- I just went across the street to the store wearing my new jacket and it was windy out you can feel a little bit of the wind going through which I didn't care for two much ,but overall I like the jacket ,I plan on wearing a hooded jacket over it anyway I just wanted the full zip instead of wearing a scarf with my other jacket so I can just wear this under my jacket, but you could Feel the wind coming through the jacket not too much but enough not to wear it on a windy day. Overall I like it

Nothing wrong with the item. Just wasn't what I expected. Partly my fault, partly fault of the photo and description. I was looking for a thicker warmer fleece and this looked like the ticket. But the fleece is on the inside and the outside is a knitted sweater. It is as described (my fault) although the photo looks like a fleece and the knit doesn't show on my iPad screen. Maybe it should be described as a fleece-lined sweater. "Sweater fleece" sounds like a fleece as thick as a sweater.

Well made, nice fit . Happy with the item

I love this jacket! More like a sweatshirt than a jacket. It's lightweight, and warm. It's a little snug but not too bad. I would give it 5 stars but can't because I have found that all LL Bean non hooded, stand-up collars are much too high sadly this one as well. LL Bean please lower the collar height by an inch or more.

This jacket is a nice looking jacket for early fall or spring. It is neither water resistant nor win resistant so it will fail to be warm enough in the winter unless it is worn as a middle layer. The jacket is good looking and well suited for a nice night out in the Berkshires or on a camping trip in the Adirondacks.

I am in the middle between regular and tall sizing. I ordered regular and my shirt was longer than the fleece. I am exchanging it for tall sizing. It is well made.

Love the fit and style. Not too heavy for winter, but great for casual outings. Always wanted the two inside pockets for hat and gloves. Not sure why they don't show the pockets, a big seller for me

The only thing they could do to make this a perfect jacket ( In my mind ) would be making all of the pockets Deeper. Every time I went to bend down, something almost always fell out at least one pocket. I Love this jacket even with this issue, sincerely.L.J.B- U.S.M.C Retired

The jacket is generally fine. I initially bought it to use as a layer when traveling. The zipped exterior pockets and deep internal pockets are great for air travel and convenient for TSA security requirements. The problem that I had was that I was wearing it over a chamois shirt and the lack of a lining for the sleeves meant that the shirt and jacket fabrics stuck together like velcro and it was extremely difficult to remove the jacket in the process of the security check. The jacket is fine with a smooth shirt underneath but I suspect that any textured layer below (or above) would be problematic.

Great fleece jacket but the ugly logo does not enhance its charm. My husband likes the jacket.

Comfortable, fits well and looks good. I have to roll the sleeves up because they are too long.

It was a gift for my son and he loves it.Fits well which is not always the case.

This will be a limited review. It was a Christmas gift for our grandson who lives in the south and needed a heavier jacket. I saw these at the local store and liked the style and quality. Report is that it fits him well.

I like the jacket and, like all Bean stuff, it is well made. My only gripe is the LLBean logo sewn onto the front. I just bought a shirt and I have the same complaint. I recognize that this is a trend and has become common among manufacturers but I would prefer for the logo to disappear or at least relocate to the lower hem area.

Great jacket for fall and underlayer for winter. I'll wear it a lot this year. Only thing I'd suggest is to look at the stitching behind the neck. For some reason it often catches on my hair (which isn't that long).

This is a very nice sweater, great quality made, great color. My only negative would be that the sleeves are too long for me. This may not be true for anyone else. I would buy this product again. I like LL Bean products, always quality and satisfaction guaranteed.

I like the jacket. I have not worn it long enough to determine how well it will hold up. I tried a small first and it was just a little too tight. So I got a medium and it's just a little looser than it like but it's not too bad. The one thing that I wish was different was the collar. I wish it wasn't so tall when up. Wish it had more of a mock collar. Collar was same height for both small and medium. But all in all a nice coat and good heavier type fleece.

I purchased my first LLB fleece jacket two years ago, same size, and really love it. I would give it 5 stars, easily! I just purchased the same size, but different color jacket. It is nice, but I am a little disappointed from the first jacket. First, this one is a little bigger than the one I purchased two years ago, it does not fit quite right. Second, LLB decided to put a name tag on the front breast of this new jacket which makes it a little less appropriate for using in more professional settings like office meetings. I really wish it did not have the label, or at least, that it was less obtrusive.

This is a very comfortable and stylish jacket. My only complaint is that there is no lining and the wind tends to blow right through it.
