Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Anorak

I bought this is black and it fit exactly how I wanted it to. It was a great length and not too boxy. Note in ran a little big (I got an XS and I'm 5'4 120 lbs and it was still pretty baggy) but I wear my clothes loose so it was fine for me. However over time around the seams/edges, the black fabric has started to fade pretty noticeably.

I owned three of these anoraks in years gone by. Can't say enough good things about them as a versatile outdoor garment. I'm so delighted to see them back on the LLBean website.......but bummed that it only comes in black? I look seriously awful in black. How about some blue or green? Or bright yellow? Please add more colors, and I'll end up buying a few of them. Seriously great jacket for my outdoor work!! LOVE the pockets, the weight, the breathability, the versatility. This anorak would easily get five stars if it came in other colors than black. Thank You!

The material of the rain jacket was thinner than I expected. The jacket looked like it wouldn't be much protection in the rain. In the picture, I thought the zipper was full length, but it's only half. I didn't want a jacket that I had to pull over my head, so I sent it back.

I purchased this after weight loss to replace a 4 year old black one that was too big. I ordered a navy blue. There is a noticeable difference in the quality. My older jacket is thicker and feels more waterproof. Not thrilled with the quality.

Unfortunately the inside Of the material catches on my clothes when I take it off and my shirt comes off with it

The photo that shows the model's waist had to be pinned or held in the back. The drawstring is at the bottom, so your waist will look as big as the widest point, like a pumpkin on legs. I have sewing skills, but so far I can't figure out how to move the drawstring with this garment's construction. Otherwise, it's excellent, as you'd expect.

I ordered a plus size 1X and I am 5ft 6in. The jacket was super short almost like a crop top and the chest area was too tight. I have exchanged it for a 2X but it is delayed so we shall see if that fits better. It's cute just wish it fit.

I expected the quality of product to be much better. Quality and price does not match. It is too thin. Just not what I expected. Overpriced.

I loved the way this fit and looked, and it is a great light layer. It also folds up nicely for easy carrying. The pockets are fantastic. However, when I bought this at the store, I specifically asked for something to wear in the pouring rain, and this failed. It kept me dry in a light drizzle, but during a twenty minute walk in steady rain, my sleeves, shoulders and head were damper than I liked. (See photo.) In pouring rain, I was completely soaked. On the bright side, the jacket did dry very quickly. I'm tempted to keep this as a windbreaker, but will have to look for something else for a rain coat.

The material is fairly thin, flexible and breathable. However the wind goes right through. And I think any rain or moisture will too I tested by hand and water drops don't bead up enough for my liking to justify this anorak. The fit length wise for a Size Small for my 5foot 3inch 125 lb 39 yo fit frame was alright, but the sleeves were too long and ended in these really unattractive gathered elasticized cuff. Honestly, for the price I almost kept it, if not for hating the feel and look of those bunches sleeves and elastic cuffs.

Like the jacket overall but was disappointed to find myself pretty soaked in a light rain- not sure labeling something water resistant when it is in fact just a windbreaker is fair to the customer.

This a light jacket, and not a warm coat. Misleading info suggests it will keep you warm.

I very quickly and very easily got wet when I tried to wear this in the rain. The rain quickly saturates the fabric and leaks through.

Where is my exchange or credit?

Was excited to receive the Anorak but couldn't even get it on! It was extremely small across the chest. I normally wear a size 18 and ordered a size1X thinking it would give me plenty of room...boy , was I wrong! I didn't even know what size to replace it with, so reluctantly, I didn't!

Very disappointing. This much anticipated jacket came this week and I wore it today. It started to rain lightly - more of a drizzle, and it went right through. I had to go home to change. Wish I could post a photo of the tshirt I wore underneath. Both shoulders and my chest area soaked right through.
