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

I liked the jacket, except for the glaring white lining in the pockets. I normally would leave the pockets open, thus useable, so the white lining would obviously shownot a good look. But for this I would have kept the jacket. I'm 106 lbs, 5'5" & ordered the XS. Lincoln, CA

I'm a medium. The sweater was too tight in the underarms. A large would've been too big. I returned it.

I wear a ton of LL Bean. This one looks good but it's 100% polyester and doesn't breathe at all. I find my back gets all sweaty in this. Vastly prefer my wool blends. If you tend to feel hot in synthetics, I'd ignore all the positive reviews and avoid this one. It's a sweat inducer.

I wore this jacket about 25 times and the right hand zipper broke.I would be very careful what you order from this company. It was a gift and I have no receipt so help from them.

So dissapointed. I had wanted this jacket for several years.

I bought this 12/31 and while I was at work last week 1/26 I noticed the zipper on my left pocket had come off the track and I was unable to fix it. For $100 I did not expect any quality issues- especially in such a short time frame. The color (blue) and fit are nice. I work in healthcare and purchased this instead of another popular brand that is about $60 more. Seems like I should have gone with the other brand!

Can't believe within 3 weeks one pocket zipper came undone and can't get it to work. Would not recommend.

I have a few similar LL Bean fleece jackets purchased over the years, like them very much & often use them in place of a cardigan. I periodically check for new colors, it's a very useful jacket. But now that the Bean label is displayed so prominently on the front (used to be a smaller label & was placed inconspicuously along the bottom hem), I will not buy another one. I refuse to spend money on an article of clothing to be a walking advertisement for a store or brand, especially for something that costs almost $100! I'm surprised that LL Bean would find that an acceptable practice.

Zipper is small and plastic and I couldn't make it zip. Loved the fit, color, and material.

Don't like the white lining in the pockets. Makes it look cheap. Did not realize this when I ordered. I have other jackets like this and they do NOT have white lining in the pockets.

Thought material was way too thin and wouldn't be warm so I returned it .

I can wear a small or extra small in LL bean clothing. Bought this in a small. It not only fit very tight across the chest, but was a full 2 inches short in the sleeves. LlBean, you need to standardize your sizes! I'm 5'6" and 125 lbs and not large chested.

Zipper pocket is broken on jacket, love the color and feel

Bought jackets and zipper to pocket broke. Second jacket same thing. Then I read all the reviews with same issue. Made me really wonder why LL Bean continues to sell defective item. I have less confidence in the brand.

The fit was very slim, the fabric cheap looking and the white pocket lining showed when the pocket was unzipped. I returned it.

I bought this jacket at an outlet store in Maine. The zipper on the right picket broke after wearing it the second time. The jacket is nice, but with the pockets always hanging open , not so nice.

Stylish Jacket, and nicely warm. More fitted than I like, though not a deal breaker. BUT after wearing just a handful of times, the pocket zipper broke and I had to return. Did not get another one.

Zippers always appear to be a poor quality. I have some other little jackets that I ordered from you and they're like difficult to zip up because the zipper is really not that great. Have to think twice about ordering anything like that from you again.

I'm disappointed that this is not as warm as one I bought previously. And the pocket liner is very light gray, which means that it shows when the jacket, or pockets, are unzipped. That detracts from the look of the blue jacket. I won't buy one again.

I liked this sweater/fleece but the first time I wore it and unzipped the pocket, the zipper broke.

not as high quality, could have been warmer and cozier

I am so sad rating this fleece jacket so low that I love, aside from the broken pocket zippers. I now see several other reviews of this same issue and wonder why LL Bean has not fixed this issue that would be very easy to fix. Over a quarter of my wardrobe is from LL Bean. Many items are decades old going back to the 1980s and are so loved. I ordered this navy fleece jacket after eyeing it for a while. First cold day yesterday so I wore it, loved it, and knew it would become another loved LL Bean garment. Not so, I will be returning it and do not want a replacement. Reading these reviews people have reported the same issue has happened with replacements. So what's the problem you ask? The pocketzippers do not have a bottom 'zipper stop' on them. Once you unzip, and put your hands in the pockets, the zipper comes off the zipper end and you can no longer zip it back up. Please LL Bean, look into this and fix it so others do not run into it.

The first time I bought this jacket, I really loved it. However, early on the zipper on one of the pockets broke. Thinking it was a fluke, I bought a second jacket two weeks ago before a hiking trip. Third time I wore it, the zipper on one of the pockets broke again. Disappointed in LL Bean quality, that I normally trust.

I will return this sweater ASAP. I like the color and the style. But I do not like the fabric. It is not soft enough.

I loved this fleece and was so happy to receive it for Christmas. Unfortunately the left pocket zipper broke within a month of light wearing. I exchanged it for another and now the left pocket zipper broke again barely 2 months later. I've barely worn this one so I am very disappointed to have this happen again. I usually love LLBean quality but this is sub par. It's a shame because it's an otherwise nice jacket.
