Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Warm-Up Jacket

I like the material quality of the coat, the zippers, insulation and fabric seem to be well made -- and the arm length and waist are perfect for me 5'-11", 180 lb, however it took wearing it outside to notice that the neckline is cut rather odd. I have a 16" neck and this coat could accommodate a much much larger neck (21"? 22"?). The collar stands off way away from the neck and when zipped all the way my face (and I have a 7 5/8" head), making it far less warm than it ought to be. I'm hoping this is a one time manufacturing mistake, but I doubt it. We'll see.

Warm jacket but stiff fabric. Not a great fit. Somewhat large in shoulders even though good fit around hips and stomach. Overpriced. Would not buy again.

Very bad quality of cuffs, bring back the quality you are known for and not this cheap penny saving your implementing in all your products.

Jacket was nicely made but the size was not accurate. I generally wear a "small" but this jacket was much larger. The sleaves were too long by 2"-3". The shoulders were too wide, and generally it was to big. Apparently there is nothing smaller so I may return it and buy a different brand.

Nice middle weight jacket. Materials are little stiff, but will likely loosen with more wear. It serves my purpose for all-purpose utility coat but not as nice as I hoped. I would try another one.

Hi,I'm glad to comment on my L. L. Bean Warm - Up Jacket. Only have had it for a couple of months, but the month's have been cold windy Montana type winter weather. I'm happy with the jacket, it's warm and wind resistant, and I like the nice high secure collar. That's it, other than to say, I hope it last for many years. Don

This beautiful jacket has one unfortunate flaw...the entrance to the arms is smaller than it needs to be so that if you are wearing an undergarment like a sweater or wool shirt it invariably gets hung up as you attempt to get into the jacket and you have to fight with it for 10 or 15 seconds to get things right. Were it not for that I would order a second one.

I've bought 30 some items from LL Bean this Christmas, for myself and as gifts. This one, I sent back. The material was stiff and noisy. I'm sure it was warm, I'm sure it's a good jacket, but I wasn't a fan.

Jacket was extremely nice. Much warmer than I anticipated it being. However, sent back for a return because I didn't like the collar and am yet to receive my refund. It has been 3 weeks today and still nothing.

The jacket was a bit short for a tall size and too bulky for me. I considered returning it but instead gave it to my son who likes it.

This looks like the jacket I have now which is a replacement for an earlier one. The first one I bought had side pockets with a flap cover and I really liked that jacket. The newer one has angled pockets with zipper closure which I don't like at all.At times it can be hard to zip up or to zip down.I would not buy another one like this

I own multiples of this jacket and every part is well-designed and durable EXCEPT the knit cuffs. THEY DON'T hold up. They fray and split and look bad while the rest of the jacket continues to look great and washes well. So I have a bunch of work-around-the-yard-and-garage jackets and fewer that I can wear when I go somewhere.

The newer warm up jackets are thinner and not as warm as the past LL Bean warm up jackets. I have had one for over 20 years and it still is in good shape and keeps me warm even in sub freezing temps. This one is so thin it is more like a windbreaker. Please go back to the quality that has made LL Bean such a favorite!

I haven't purchased this jacket but I would if it had an option with the classic logo!! Disappointed that there's not.

Too small- jacket was 2 sizes smaller than 3XL Tall should be. Sent it back.

Very nice work jacket. But lacks an inside pocket for items, especially a cell phone

Great comfort and fit. However, the fleece lining is only half as thick as previous version.

Usually love the Bean products. My size is Large but this jacket is pretty tight at the bottom. It almost feels as if this was a Ladies item, not a Mens.I am going to purchase the same item but in an XL this time. If I send it back, so be it. But the L feels more like a M. Also, the inside pocket is too small.

Way too small for an XL size jacket, which I normally fit easily into!

The jacket was too big even for a medium. The return process was for me too much of a hassle, but I just gave it to my brother-in-law as a present. Now I have to re-order a new one

Back then this was really a great jacket. The exterior was a nylon that didn't wrinkle. Now it does. The sleeve lining back then was so silky smooth that putting the jacket on was always a real pleasure as your hands and bare arms passed over silk. Now this jacket is different and not for the better. The exterior is stiff and wrinkles. The sleeve lining has a rougher texture, not nearly as smooth as the nylon taffeta-like stuff of the past. I thought I'd be getting the same jacket. I was wrong. I don't know if the exterior is better in wet, windy weather as I haven't tried that yet, but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe it resists rain and wind or maybe not. The shape and design generally seem to be the same, but due to change in materials I think a great jacket got worse.

3/27/22 I have just come in from walking the dog wearing this jacket. Me, not the dog. It's 48 degrees, sunny with low humidity with a slight breeze here on the Cumberland Plateau in East Tennessee. I was cold. I put the dog in the house, reached into my closet and pulled out a 25-year-old LL Bean warm-up Jacket and walked the same route. I was much much warmer. If a Bean customer service rep is reading this, please tell the designers/buyers to make them like they used to be. I'll gladly pay another 25 or 30%. The fleece is not as thick and does not cover the entire body. If you've added Thinsulite to make up for the thin fleece, it's not working. When I wear this newer jacket, I need to wear fleece under it because it is simply not warm. The LL Bean fleece I wear as a base is more than 35 years old and not pilled. My two-year-old LL Bean Mountain full zip fleece pilled in just a few wearings. Please, make them like you used to.

This is my 2nd purchase of this jacket. The quality has significantly changed. It is 1 inch shorter and 2 inches less in the chest. The phone pocket is approximately 2 inches higher in the inside pocket which makes it difficult to put the phone in / out. The lining in the pockets is not the same material found in previous version of the coat so my hands aren't as warm as they were. Very disappointing that what was an excellent product has been reduced in quality.

Is not size specific.If your size is xl go up one size for good fit.

This item is listed as a TALL size, but is not. It is just long enough, but length is certainly not consistent with other TALL clothing I wear.
