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

Thinner then previous years. Still love. Not as warm as I'd like.

Stopped at LL Bean in Freeport on way to sailing on the windjammers of Maine, I shop at LL Bean on my way each time I go sailing on the Victory Chimes. This year I needed a lighter weight jacket. and a few more t-shirts Sales person was very helpful and knew what items to show me. Was in and out of store in record time and didn't miss the boat. I will be back again next September. To shop and go sailing.

but...... a serious design error occurred when the decision was made to use an off-white fabric for the pocket lining - as another poster wrote: 'what were you thinking?' - it is so noticeable, it cheapens what is a staple in the wardrobe - gray lining, black lining.... a matching color lining......are obviously much better color/design choices - i purchased the arctic blue to add to my collection of these wonderful sweater fleece jackets ..... but there is disappointment w/ the poor choice of pocket lining fabric (thus 4 instead of 5 stars) - i still love the jacket and am not returning it (have been waiting a long time for a new color to be added to the selections ) -

Great jacket - would buy again! I wear it often. I am slender and often cold so this is a perfect jacket.

The "ll Bean" logo is not necessary and is a pompous distraction.

I love the fabric, so warm and soft. There are two things that could be better... the sleeves are very tight and the collar stands up and will not stay down (like the vest). I kept it because it's so warm but am disappointed in the fit.

Great warmth, great look. Ugly logo. Needed a creative seamstress to cover it up. Do we really need to do LLBean's marketing for free? Wish, if there needed to be a logo that it would be discreet and good looking.

The weight of this jacket is perfect for Spring when you need more than a windbreaker. I got the plum color love it!I also really like the material higher grade than polertec. I highly recommend!

Jacket fits well, is comfortable and looks very similar to those I have received on previous years. But the fleece is thinner and does not quite provide the warmth I want.

Loved this jacket but, alas it was too long. Had to return it

I like the color, fit and weight of this sweater jacket. It is the perfect weight for early spring. I purchased the teal blue and love the color. There are two cons for me: the collar style is a bit bothersome as it's designed to stand up instead of fold down and it rubs on my jawline; and, I would have liked the bottom length to be just a tad longer.

I like this sweater/jacket, love the color & the body fits well, BUT the sleeves are very slim. They are difficult to get over a flannel shirt & nigh to impossible over a sweater. They appear to be proportionally narrow compared to the item's body.

I enjoy wearing this jacket indoors on cold days with a t shirt. And I'll use it as a fall and spring jacket as well outside. It also layers easily under my down jacket in extreme cold weather. I gave it a 4 star because I experience the collar being too high and too stiff, making it uncomfortable from rubbing against my jaw when it's fully zipped. And I have a long neck for my body size. Also when it's not fully zipped, the collar is very stiff and doesn't bend down easily and stay down. This jacket also shrunk a bit when washed in warm water and dryer on high heat. I didn't care though because the sleeves were too long until it shrunk.

I purchased this thinking it would be a, soft relaxing color blue. To my dismay it has more of a green hue. I love ll beans fleeces and own 5, in xl, I do not like it tight. I just wish they will come up with a nice soft blue one.

I did not like the fit of this on me. I have yet to find a fleece I like from anywhere other than the tired one I have now. So I'm probably being too picky. The cut is a little big and not how it looks in the photos in my opinion. It also felt stiff, I'm sure it loosens up over time and becomes more mailable. In the end just not for me.

I love this jacket but I didn't buy this year. For the past two seasons the colors have been so drab. Bring back more brilliant colors next winter. Winter is drab enough. I would have bougt the eggplant if it hadn't been faded.

I have 6 of these jackets and practically live in them all fall, winter and early spring. They are great worn alone, over a tank top or a shirt. Wish LL Bean would make them in black, charcoal, royal blue, navy blue. I like the heathered fabric. My only complaint is that the stitching on the trim tape at the ends of the sleeves has come unraveled on two of my jackets after several washings, but I reattached them. No problem if you are handy with a needle and thread. Probably should have a double row of stitching.

Just got this jacket. It's perfect for warm winter days her in Oklahoma, 45-65 degrees. The quality seems good, love the zippered pockets. slightly fitted to slim the body. I ordered XS, thought about S. But in this case it would be too big for me. I love the fit of XS.

I really liked the style and fit, it seemed well designed and warm. The color in the greenish blue wasn't what I had in mind, it was too bright , although it was a nice color. I returned it because i didn't want that color, but everything else about it was exceptional.

Great Coat, purchased these for my business for myself and employees. They love it and so do I. The zipper broke on one pocket but was replaced and easily shipped out a new one. Will definitley order more for more employees in the future.

I bought this on Saturday and it got here today. I was right at the 51 1/2/" chest/bust measurement. This is definitely true to size. The only thing i dislike about this item os that the sleeves arent long enough. I think this is a personal preference as i have seen this in most plus size clothing. Its lightweight but i can not attest to its warmth as i have not worn it i the cold yet.

Beautiful quality jacket will keep the weather and wind from biting. My go-to on any winter day. I was in the process of loosing weight and I do think it runs a bit large, but even then, it's the best quality heavy thick jacket. Highly recommended!

I am over the moon that LLB has finally started carrying Tall sizes for women (prior to this non-average men could be tall, women had to be short). The fit is perfect. Alas, Tall means we get a fraction of the colors and no one consulted me on the options, so we get maroon, teal and gray. As far as what looks good with my coloring, those are yuck, yuck and yuck. I wear oranges to peachy pink, ivory to tan to light brown (decidedly a 'spring' for anyone who remembers that system). Those color groups are omitted. Ah well, progress I guess.

I was given a Medium and it was too tight, although the arms and length were ok. I then got a Petite Large and it fits very well and the sleeves and length are perfect. I now have two jackets, one in Sailcloth and the other in Mint...I am very pleased!

I ordered the tall medium sweater fleece jacket. The medium part is fine and the sleeves are perfect, but the body of the jacket is too long on me. I almost sent it back. I think the regular fit would be good for most people.
