Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Warm-Up Jacket

Hi, This jacket seems to be super warm. I just had one issue with the jacket as the Waistband and Cuffs are made of Cloth material. The entire body is Nylon except 2 cloth pieces which is kind of odd. Which means I cannot use this in rain conditions. I will recommend this jacket if you do not want to use in Rain.

I previously had an LLBean warm-up jacket for years. I finally decided to get new. The jacket is great, except this jacket style has elastic cuffed wrists. I have the feeling that the sleeves are short and will crawl up my arms. I wish the sleeve lengths were a little longer. I don't think going to an xtra-larger will cure my issue.

I bought this as an inexpensive "in-between," for times when it isn't very cold, but still cold enough to warrant a jacket, and in this regard it is fine. My only gripe is the color -- I bought the "green" one, which when i got it into daylight instead of the shop artificial light, I found was military green. Since I am a pacifist, this was unwelcome to me, and causes me to not wear it from time to time.

For right at a $100 I feel the jacket is somewhat overpriced. $70 would of been a more appropriate price. I haven't experienced any temps below 40 degrees F so I can't comment on warmth. I did wear it in a good downpour and it repelled water fairly well. Fit is accurate.

This is the third warm-up jacket I've had. The first two each lasted about five years and I wear them nearly every day in fall, winter, and early spring. They don't really wear out, but the cuffs are torn apart by the heavy zippers on the pockets. The zippers aren't necessary and I never use them. There's an inside pocket (also with a zipper) that I've never used. The jacket is warm, comfortable, very durable and cleans up easily.

Most of the previous reviews on this jacket are spot on. I've been a size large for the past 30 years. 42" chest, 35" sleeves. My size, as per L.L. Bean's sizing guidelines, should definitely be a large. Normally when I get a large from L.L. Bean there's a little extra room left over. Not with this jacket. If I wanted to wear an extra layer underneath I don't think I could. I'm fine with this as if I need to wear an extra layer I'll just wear a warmer coat. If you are someone who is regularly between sizes go one up on this jacket. One other downside is that it does somewhat sound like Geroge Castanza's new suit in that as the sleeves rub against the jacket body it whistles. Not significantly, but enough to be a little annoying. All in all I decided to keep it in that it's a nice midweight jacket, which is exactly what I wanted. Nice and warm with just a shirt underneath.

It is a very well made jacket and true to size. The only problem we had was that it was extremely wrinkled when it arrived. I put it in the dryer with a damp towel for about 20 minutes and then it was fine. My husband is enjoying it in the cool weather.

This jacket is a terrific winter coat. My only wish is that it would come in women's sizes.

Great for Midwest weather. Waterproof warm enough. Only drawback is material is a little stiff and crunchy.

Love the lightness and the warmth of the jacket. The only criticism I have is that in cold weather (<30 degrees) the exterior shell "crinkles" with movement. Would still purchase anyway.

I like the jacket, and it fits well. However, I dislike the crunchy feel and sound of the outer shell. My old jacket of the same type had a conventional outer shell that was fairly soft and didn't make any kind of noise putting it on or taking it off. I'd still be wearing it, but since I've lost some weight it's a bit too large now.

Went with spruce color,Reviews helped me decide to stay my own medium size. it Fits well.Noisy fabric made me take off one star. One purchase in the past i did order small size for another jacket (reviews helped) that was a good decision also as returning an item from so far would be a headache. So, thanks to fellow customers for detailed Reviews.Currency conversion & duties bring my cost up so will watch out for discount promos.

Purchased yet another Warm-Up Fleece-Lined Jacket. This one seems to have a 'stiffer' feel to the outer material. Perhaps a few washings will calm it down allowing movement without so much 'fabric noise'. Otherwise, it looks to be an old reliable.

A X-L is a little small - would like a 2X but not available. Warm and comfortable.

It's my second warm-up jacket,loved my first one,it's warm and durabile,the new one i just purchased doesn't have a inside pocket like old one...bummed!

I have been very pleased with this style coat that I have had over the years but dislike the water proof shell. It is noisy and hard feeling. If I am going to be out I will ware a waterproof gear or use a umbrella.

Despite being very wrinkled from shipping package, the jacket is well made and everything I expected it to be.

The jacket is well made, but runs a full size small. I have purchased other LL Bean men's jackets in the past: size medium, which have fit well. All the shirts we order are medium, too. This is just a small jacket. I have exchanged it for a large. Bought a different jacket for my nephew a couple of years ago and had to return that for a larger size as well. Seems to be a systemic problem rather than a single-garment occurrence. If the sizing were better, I would have given this 5 stars.

jacket continues to provide as advertised....had previous experience was main reason to purchase another

Use to wear Lands End jackets, but the sleeve cuffs would wear out. I'm hoping 'LL Bean will last longer, we'll see.

When I ordered the jacket the price was $99, when I received the jacket the price tag showed $89. Customer service Rep. made the $89 price good.

This is a well made, high quality jacket. I like that it is warm but not bulky, has pocket openings that fit my largish hands and the sleeves are lined with nylon so it is easy to slip on when wearing a sweater. The size runs small though. I normally wear a Men's Regular Large with other brands, but this jacket did no fit me in a large so I had to go with an XL Reg. The fabric zipper pull on the main zipper is nice, but I wish that the pocket zippers had them too. Finally, the fabric makes a rather annoying "rustling" noise when you swing your arms while walking.

Like the jacket, although I think it is pushing it to say it can work in the low temperatures noted in the product description. Also, I had to go up an extra size to get one that fit, unlike other brands I've ordered of this type recently, so beware if you're between sizes normally. Also, if not on sale it is not a particularly good value compared to other national brands.

This is a great jacket except for one complaint. The nylon outer shell is noisy, stiff and doesn't breath. My wife calls it my swish-swish jacket for the noise it makes when I walk. This jacket is warm, and because the nylon doesn't breath, I tend to perspire with any exertion. I bought this same jacket years ago which had a softer, more breathable shell material. I wore it all the time and finally wore it out. I bought this new jacket last year and was slightly disappointed by what I considered the inferior shell material. I like the style and the way the high collar protects my neck and chin. It's warm enough for all but the coldest weather. It provides a good range of motion for my arms and shoulders. I am 6'1" with an athletic build. I bought the XL Tall and it fits very well. I would recommend this jacket with the above caveats about the nylon shell.

Material is nice and very water repellent. Warm for this type of jacket. Arm holes are a bit small and sleves could be an inch longer.
