Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Anorak

This truly is as advertised, a classic. My teenaged daughter loves it. It's great looking and performs well in inclement weather as a windbreaker and shields her from rain. She'll have it for years to come -- as long as she doesn't misplace it!

true to LLBeans long standing quality!

I wanted something with a zip pocket to keep needed accessories at hand during a 15 hour flight to Hong Kong and to avoid getting up and down to get stuff from the overhead bin. Once we arrived, I was so happy to have this jacket as my purse became too heavy to carry and putting the few necessities into the zip pocket was so much easier. The weather was mild, a little rainy and a little windy, the jacket was perfect as I could layer up and was comfortable the whole time

I wore this on a recent trip to Cozumel and it was the perfect weight. Not too heavy, not too light. It is not 100% waterproof but it does keep water off if you are caught in a drizzle. Perfect for both the chilly airport and sea breezes. My absolutely FAVORITE thing about it is the large zippered "kangaroo pocket" in the front. I kept all our passports, papers, sunglasses and even snacks in this pocket. I felt very safe having all my valuables close at hand and didn't even have to bring a purse. Love it. Would recommend it to any traveler who likes to pack light!

The large front zip pocket great for travel. Love this!!

Absolutely love these anoraks. This is my third purchase and I couldn't be happier. They're lightweight, and make a great extra layer. They're on the bigger side, but don't look frumpy or obnoxiously huge. 10/10 would recommend.

I wear a Medium in almost everything I wear and this fits perfect. I wear a thick long sleeve shirt (when its cold) under it or short sleeve and still plenty of room. Love the light weight yet still blocks all wind and rain. Wish LLB would make these in the fleece/cotton material but light weight. I would purchase one in every color. I am from KY and I wear this year round; not just during the winter. That's why I like it so much. I purchased both colors and for my daughters as well. Can't say enough GREAT things about this pull-over.

Although the sleeves were too long, I sew so can easily fix that. It seems to run a little large, but that doesn't bother me.

This anorak was exactly what I expected! It's cute, simple, lightweight, and functional. I actually bought two-- one in black and one in navy. The fabric is great quality, but like I said, it's lightweight, so I wouldn't count on it keeping me warm in the winter without some layers. It runs big, so I'd recommend sizing down if you want a fit more like the model's. I'm usually a Medium, but the Small is a perfect relaxed fit for me.

At 5'5" and 132 lbs, I got this in a black Medium, and it fits nicely with a light layer, such as a long-sleeved tee or shirt with a vest. With a fleece or sweater underneath, or if you have wide hips, a Large would be more comfortable. It looks great, not too boxy or bulky, and I like the long front zipper and the kangaroo pocket. It's a blast from the past!

I LOVE this jacket. I bought it big to fit over sweaters. It is soft and doesn't make the crinkly loud sounds some other materials make. It will be great year round since it breathes and doesn't hold in heat. For the record- I have very broad shoulders and still had plenty of room. Quality is very good. I live in south so we don't have too many extremely cold days. Hope this helps.

I saw this jacket in a sale flyer from LL Bean. As I am a frugal girl, I waited until it was on sale (teachers discount) and bought it. I loved it so much, I bought the green jacket and leave it in our motorhome for when we go camping. It keeps its shape even after washing and keeps you dry in light showers.

Bought this for my girlfriend as a gift. She really loves it. It's definitely a spring jacket as it doesn't provide any kind of insulation, so be aware of that. We love how it looks. Very trendy. Good especially if you have a more androgynous style. The petite sizing was perfect for someone who is 5'2. Can't wait to get more use out of it once the weather warms up.

I bought a version of this jacket years ago and wanted to replace it but got much more that I expected - this is a far superior version, super comfortable, lightweight, good looking and a perfect fit. I should probably go ahead and order another one, have a feeling this will get a ton of wear.

This anorak is perfect for cooler days and overcast/light rain climates. I agree with other users who say that it's a good top layer for moderate activity like walking, biking, light hiking, etc. It does get wet and soak through in heavy rain - just something to be mindful of if you're looking for a waterproof outer layer. The Reg Small was very roomy which means room for a sweater/midlayer underneath. The pockets and packable feature of this anorak are also a super plus. I ordered the olive color and I absolutely love it. I would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a light outer layer. I absolutely love it and wear it every chance I get!

Great for top layer when I'm getting in my morning walk, large enough to add layers underneath. Drawstring at the hem means I don't get cold winds blowing up jacket.

Great to wear for hiking, biking and kayaking. The zip pockets are great for keys and phone, etc. Light weight, but with enough room to add another layer under it.

This Anorak is a great lightweight windbreaker. I love everything about it. The fit is roomy without appearing overly large. I like the colors and the detailing. It exhibits the kind of good quality workmanship I expect from LLBean. I would buy this again.

I got this jacket for backpacking as well as for general use for rainy weather. So far, it's been great! The fabric and zippers are good quality. I plan to treat it with a waterproofing coating to make it even more resistant to the elements.

Ordered a Petite Small in all black, fits awesome! Not a heavy material at all. Good for late summer nights and fall. Does well in rain too! Love the front pocket.

I absolutely love this anorak. It is slightly longer, so can be worn with leggings and still covers your bum. For reference I am 5'6, 135 lbs and ordered my usual size, a medium. It is comfortable but flattering (as in, not too blousey and not tight or clingy all). Also love the old school LL Bean branding - so cute. For this price it cannot be beat. I do not travel without this and cannot recommend it enough! I have it in black and just ordered the olive!

Perfect product for a lightweight jacket, love the pouch/pockets, love that it's a stowaway!

Would recommend this jacket. Love the multiple pockets and the fit. Can layer easily. Would recommend ordering your smaller size if you're in between.

Perfect fit and so lightweight. I wear this jacket very regularly and am always given compliments! Just like all other L.L.Bean products, the quality for the price is like no other!

I usually wear a medium in t-shirts, but I ordered a large based on reviews. The large was big everywhere except the hips. I'm pear-shaped, so it's hard to find "straight" long articles of clothing that fit me everywhere. I exchanged this for an XL, which is way big on me, but I liked it so much I kept it anyway. I also ordered this pullover in the green and blue multicolor version. Bad news is it took the items awhile to arrive because they were backordered. They charged me $6.00 to ship, and another 6 to exchange. If you are pear shaped, I'd recommend going up at least one size. If you are too heavy with smaller hips and thighs, you would be good with your normal size or maybe one size up if you plan on layering like I do.
