Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Fleece Jacket

the gray was a nice color, but I just didn't think it suited me. Quality good enough to buy again.

Well-made fleece garment. Fit and finish are well-done. Zippers work perfectly. Nice, muted color. I object to the advertising patch on the breast. Sleeves a bit too long. Goes well under a shell for warmth on cold days. Bottom draw-string can be pulled in to keep out cold air.

Purchased the black and agree with with one of the previous reviews that the color isn't true black, more of a dark charcoal with dark green undertones. Also, agree with some other reviewers that the logo is a bit much. Hasn't been worn much yet so can't comment on the pilling/shedding issues.

Love the color of this fleece. It's cut fairly slim so it seems a bit snug. But the XL would probably be way too big. Overall, it's very nice and husband will get a lot of wear out of it.

This has become my first choice for cool (40 deg or more) weather. It looks good, is very comfortable, and has some nice details. The fabric is on the light side (as expected) and is too tight for colder weather layering over a bulky shirt or sweater. A few quibbles: It does not have a smart-phone pocket; very annoying, can't figure why it was omitted. I agree with other reviews that the large colorful LLBean logo is tacky. I don't like to be a walking billboard even for a good company; something more subtle would be better. And, finally, black is not black for this fleece, it is a dark gray on the warm side of neutral. May not match your black pants, if that's an issue for you.

The fleece is a good weight and almost as good as the old Polartec 200 fleece that apparently is not available any longer. Nice touch with the zipper pull boot lace accents. I also really like that the hem can be sealed off with the drawcord. Nice touch. My only beef is that this jacket is now "slightly fitted" which means it's great for layering under a shell but not so great over a heavy shirt.

I have worn a medium tall in most Bean shirts or jackets but that size was discontinued some time ago. But in my case, a slightly fitted large now fills that void.

I ordered the product thinking it would be of the same quality that I had purchased about 7 years ago. Unfortunately it was not. The jacket was light and not as good of quality. It is still a nice jacket, just not what I as looking for. Fit and color were true to spec.

Overall I like the jacket. Be nice if the sleeves were lined. It is difficult to put on as shirt sleeves don't slide easily into the jacket arms.

Very soft and comfortable ! Great to use alone or as a liner to my lightweight LL Bean jacket. Love the LL Bean color !!

The jacket is just what I wanted. A little short in length.

Terrible cheap stiff feeling fleece. Not remotely like the quality expected or purchased in the past.

Fit was on the small side. Material and craftsmanship was exactly what you would expect from LL Bean. Main problem I had was it only has to small (ish) pockets. Would not even securely hold my iPhone. Wanted to like it but the size and no storage made me send it back. Most everything else I have purchased for LL Bean this season I am EXTREMELY please with.

The material is soft and feels good on skin, but the cut is odd too full in the stomach area, and the zipper sticks.

Fit is too small, I have other LL Bean Jackets the same size that are a perfect fit. Won't be buying anything on line anymore.

Had to return this as the fit was slimmer and shorter for the XXL than the usual "slightly fitted" style I have for a large number Bean togs. Also think the fleece here was not as good as some other garments, especially the inside finish. This is the kind of piece almost always layered over flannel, cotton tee or waffle-something, and it is too "sticky" and hard to slip on and off easily. LLB probably has a different lined version, or perhaps the "air" knit is better, but will not be as warm. I like my other Bean pull-over synthetic fleece(s) and the XXL fit is true for those (6'2', 250 big guy build)-- this one was just not right.

Good quality fabric, well made but the size was too small. Ordered the large that he has previously worn but it was too snug. Reordered an X Lg & it still felt too snug. Will be returning the jackets.

The jacket fits well and has thickness that makes it warm. I'm disappointed that the zipper doesn't have the quality I've always related to LL Bean. It doesn't catch easily and and isn't smooth. I don't have confidence it will be long lasting. I already have 2 jackets in good condition where the zippers have failed.

A little heavy material and a bit long not as soft

This fleece jacket is very comfortable and warm...BUT. We have blue fleece lint from one end of our house to the other. It over loaded our lint filter on the first washing. I wore black pants the first time with it and they were completely covered in blue lint. I now wear it as a rough jacket because i do not want to wash it again. Everything else i ever nought from l.l.Bean has been great. I have Bean boots 15 years old and still wearing them. This however will not last long. Either it will shed to nothing or i will have to throw it away due to non washing.

This jacket is one of my favorite LL Bean items. For several years my wife and I have been purchasing it in various colors as a daily coverup but also as a great functional item to be used on our travels. What separates this item from sweaters and standard jackets were the two large inside pockets. For everyday use these pockets provide space for carrying items after a quick run to the store or for carrying things that are a little too bulky for the front pockets. One handy jacket that eliminates the need to carry another bag. For travelling this lightweight coat with the large inside pockets is perfect to put away snacks, a small camera, or guide books. On trips this jacket is an essential for my wife and for me. We are truly disappointed that the pockets have been eliminated from not only the trail model but also the mountain jacket. I purchased it anyway because I like the color, but our stand-by will be the older models with two large inside pockets.

had bought older versions of the fleece in the past and they were much thicker better construction and fit better also the black color was an honest black this color is like a dark charcoal not sure if its because of the recycle construction or what not as warm as past models fit is off is much better as a light weight sweater

Fuzzing that sheds on everything. On my car seat and whenever I use my jacket on a hike or trip. Fuzz like lint can be seen on the jacket itself.

Nice fleece but for being a slightly fitted jacket, it didn't feel slightly fitted as my older other fleece do. In addition, being a slightly fitted fleece and in a size small, the sleeves are too long. Again to other fleeces I've purchased in the past the fit has changed.

Extremely long having it cut to normal length. Bought for 6' 3 " male.
