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

This jacket is warm and comfortable, but not as nice as the sweater fleece hoodies I used to be able to buy from L.L. Bean. The zip pocket on the sleeve bunches up oddly and I'm not a big fan of stand-up collars, though the latter is obviously just personal preference. I removed the logo label like I usually do, but I regret it in this case - the patch of fabric underneath is a noticeably lighter color than the rest of the jacket. The color (Mallard Blue) is otherwise very pretty, though.

Beautiful jacket, excellent fit, but I had to return it. I found the zipper hard to start and just didn't want to struggle with it for the next ten years!

August at 93 degrees is not a good time to review this jacket. Hopefully when cold weather comes..and it willthis will be perfect. Love the color, nice tapered (not boxy) fit, and the knowledge that this will be toasty warm when I need it..

This is a very comfortable, warm and attractive color with a vibrant color that is a beautiful shade of blue. The only reason I'm not giving it a five is because the lining for the pockets is cream rather than black or blue and so distracts from the overall appearance. I considered not buying the jacket, but the color won me over.

I purchased this jacket and is really nice but I really loved the version of the jacket that had the hood instead of the standup collar. Please bring back the hooded version.

I chose to get a large tall but it is way too big. Also, the material is too scratchy for my taste. I really wanted to love it!

This fleece is super soft and cozy! My only wish is that the collar could flatten down more easily rather than standing straight up all the time. Otherwise, wonderful fleece! I got mine in the spruce green and love the color.

I love this jacket but can't give it 5 stars because of the pockets. The pockets are white fabric so if the jacket is unzipped or if the pockets are unzipped all you see is the contrast of the nice color of the jacket and the bright white fabric of the pockets. It has bothered me since the first time I wore it.

Nice fit and long enough for taller person. Was a gift and changed Large Long for Large. Large a much better fit.

This jackets fits great. I purchased a small. I am 5.5 and 128 lbs. Its a warm soft fleece sweater, the length of the sleeves are good and it hits slightly below the hip. And I love the blue color. My only question is why the inside lining of the pockets is WHITE. There is a large white swatch of cloth on the inside of this jacket. So if the pockets are unzipped or you wear it open, you see a bright white square of fabric from the inside. I have this jacket in grey and that is not the case. That lining blends with the jacket. So weird, why not make it blue to blend with the jacket?? Its just distracting from the jacket

Fits great. It's a comfortable jacket that's light weight yet warm.

Love the jacket: color, fit, style. I just wish the sleeves weren't fleece: difficult to get into when wearing a sweater

I love the fleece zip up and I own more than one. I am disappointed that the lining of pockets of this fleece are white. So when the pocket is unzipped it is hard to miss and stands out. All my other fleece jackets have a dark lining in the pocket and is much more appealing to the eye. I feel like I have to zip up the pockets all the time. :(

Style is great, not very warm - I wore 3/4 zip fleece underneath while at the beach in March

I have a larger version of this sweater and I love it! It's well made and is perfect for chilly fall and spring weather. I love the zippered pockets and the collar. However the XL is too big and the L is snug.

overall i love it, the only thing is i wish it was made in the USA

Extremely warm. A little bulky but very attractive. The lining is not smooth so you have to take a minute putting it on with long sleeves.

I have one of these in a different color from about 4-5 years ago, and like everything about it, especially the fit. This one just ordered is the same size but is shorter and tight in the arms. Order up a size if you don't have thin arms is my recommendation.

Nice jacket, pretty color. I am a slender 5'6", 125 pounds. Bought this same item two years ago in a small and found it too tight in the arms so this time I bought it in a medium and now it doesn't fit around the middle, too bad it doesn't have a draw-string around the middle. I still like it because I can layer other things under it. The fabric is nice, kind of like a sweater. The color is a very bright blue.

It is a great jacket: soft, comfortable, flattering fit. It is constructed well. The bright blue color is beautiful. What ruins it all is the glaring white fabric of the pockets lining. It is so incongruous and so out of character with the rest of the jacket, it makes me cringe. True, you cannot see the lining when the jacket is zipped, but it is still there, and it flashes its ridiculous white when the jacket is open.

This is my 2nd sweater fleece jacket. The light gray heathered has a darker gray pocket lining. The blue has a cream which is very noticeable but not in a good way. Disappointed that the pocket color is mismatched.

Lovely color and fit. The only thing I would improve about this jacket is the inside pockets. The color of the inside pockets should match the jacket (blue) instead of being white.

Excellent quality. Seemed very warm and of sturdy fabric. I had to return mine because I had purposely ordered a tall but it turned out to be longer in the sleeves and at the neck than I actually needed. (Am between regular and tall) Otherwise it was SO perfect and I loved the blue. Would have preferred if the pockets had been lined in black rather than white.

Nice fleece and I liked the muted purple color. Unfortunately the sleeves were too tight to wear over a long sleeve shirt. For that reason, I returned it.

Wasn't sure about keeping this because it runs a little big. Will use as a "jacket" and wear something heavier under it.
