Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Anorak

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.

I purchased this for a kayak trip, and recommended it to everyone! The hood was perfect in the rain and the pockets are very roomy. It not only was perfect for my trip, but will be used in so many other situations. Overall - fantastic!

I love this jacket! Almost all light weight jackets are made of materials that don't breathe, make me sweat! Can we get these with full zipper-fronts? Please more!

This is an extremely well-made windbreaker. It is lightweight for easy packing. The zippers are high quality, no puckering, with an easy and smooth pull. It falls at the lower hip which works great for me. The sleeve length also is good for me. I am 5'5", 140lbs, 38" bust and size Small fit perfectly with some room for a shirt and safari vest underneath. The hood is soft so when not in use it lies flat against your back. The front zipper zips up slightly above my chin. This means the hood really stays in place when in use. I bought the olive color and love it. Haven't worn it "in the wild" yet, but all aspects of this anorak appear to be just what I needed.

One of my best purchases yet from LL Bean, light weight, water resistant and a perfect fit. Love everything about this jacket. Buying the mens version for my husband! Quality is top notch!

I bought this because I needed a hooded lightweight waterproof windbreaker with pockets that was roomy and covered my hips. This perfectly met all the criteria and is comfortable as well. It is sporty enough for the suburbs and the beach. Highly recommend!!

I love the look of this olive anorak, I want to get it in more colors. I have gotten so many complements. It is great over a sweatshirt or even a t-shirt. This has been my best purchase through LLbean thus far and I hope you guys come out with more colors.

Lightweight, water resistant. Great fit- loose but still has some shape.

This jacket is great. Super warm and keeps the rain off. It does run large. I'm 5'6" 125 and bought a small, it looks like I'm wearing an adults large sweater. I did read that it ran large before I bought it but decided to stick with my normal size as I bought this for fishing and wanted room underneath for a sweater for extra warmth. I wear this all the time and just bought another one in a different color.

This jacket is the perfect addition to my wardrobe! I'm always unsure if I should buy the medium or large. I'd read the other comments regarding fit before deciding on the medium and it fits just right! (I'm 5'2", 140 lbs - bigger on top than bottom) This is the perfect wind breaker for spring walks in New England. I love the look too. I even got a compliment from my 16-year-old son!

I just can't say enough about this jacket - I'm more than pleased with it! I ordered a medium, somewhat unsure if it would be the right size or not, as I tend to be more of a small. However, the medium is perfect, if I need extra layering. It's also perfect, if I don't need something a little heavier underneath. I got the dusty olive and it's a beautiful shade - get compliments on it, every time I wear it. The material is great, too - very soft, and quiet when you move, unlike some other windbreakers I've had. I got caught out in a light rain, and the water just beaded up, and although I was out in the rain for about half an hour, I stayed nice and dry. I have to agree with some of the other reviews - more color options would be great!

LL Bean classic anoraks are a best buy. I have owned 3. One for every ten years of my life since I was a kid. If you line dry it, you'll get 10 or more good years out of it. The kids anorak I bought was passed down through 4 kids and there is still not a single tear or rip and its waiting for the 5th kid to grow into it. I feel like sending it back to LLBean with baby unicorn tears and thanking them for creating a piece of clothing that lasts for over a decade for myself and my kids.

I love this Anorak..lightweight and very comfortable and looks so good on..but it does run VERY big..before I ordered mine I read threw all of the reviews and most everyone was saying to size down so I am glad I did...I'm 5'4 and weigh 120..normally I'm a small but I got an XS and Fits awesome! Will definitely be ordering another one!

I was looking for a light jacket that I could wear during the fall and spring, that could also double as a rain jacket. This jacket is absolutely perfect. The detailing on the jacket gives the jacket such a nice look. The jacket is also comfortable to wear. I love how big the kangaroo pocket is! SO happy with this jacket!
