Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Anorak

I bought this for my cousin as a birthday gift. I have the male version and she has the female version of this jacket. I told her it's excellent protection against rain and wind and extremely handy because it will always provide a safe place to hold your wallet. She enjoyed it immediately as I did mine when I bought it in the past. A great product which is very practical and attractive with almost any outfit.

I purchased this pullover for my recent family trip to France, Germany and Switzerland. It was absolutely perfect for the rainy weather we hiked in! It has a comfortable cut, hits right below the butt. Generous hood that keeps the rain out. I love that there's a big pouch/pocket along with a zippered pocket! Very handy! Easy light layer that keeps you comfortable on cooler hikes, or just exploring in town! I am a size 12 or Large, with wide shoulders and the large fit me perfectly!! Would highly recommend! Easily layered for more warmth.

Lightweight but substantial enough for cooler weather and rain. Lots of pockets

Love the pockets and fit. I wear it everywhere. I have several of these.

Sizing is correct. I like you can easily pull it over your head and has a big zippered pocket in front.

It rained the day the package arrived and I couldn't be happier to try it out immediately. it was a little more snug than I was expecting but still super comfortable and lightweight which is perfect for texas.

I still have an old LLBean Classic Anorak in periwinkle from the late 80's. The fit is a little more relaxed but super comfortable. Finally, black was offered and style is perfect for everyday misty or light rain days. Enough room for a cashmere top and light puffer vest underneath since. Great hoodie that covers the face better than the old one when cinched tight enough. Perfect large front zippered pocket that holds a lot. Can fit large cell phone, pack of tissue, flat wallet, gloves, thin scarf and a small snack. If necessary...can hold a water bottle temporarily. I'm 5', 114 lbs and purchased size 6. I probably could fit an XS for a tighter fit.

I purchased this anorak for a spring trip to Europe, when I knew it would be rainy and chilly. This anorak met my expectations. I wore it every day. It kept me warm and dry, but I did get a little damp when I was walking through a late day heavy downpour. Highly recommend.

It's perfect! I'm 5'5 130lbs and got a S. It's roomy which is what I wanted. I love the black, the pockets, zipper pouch and details. It's lightweight, great for when it's not quite cold enough for a heavy jacket.

Sized up for a generous fit. Will be perfect for travel since it is packable and lightweight. Love the hood.

Wore this jacket to hike the Mighty 5 national parks. It was perfect for the changing temperatues and to hold phone keys wallet

I love this jacket!! I have several other Bean jackets but this is my new favorite. It fits just right -may be a bit loose which is fine for me. It looks great with jeans & with other pants,too.

I have taken this jacket on so many trips! It's my go to! The pouch pocket is perfect for stashing my phone & a small purse when boarding a plane, so that doesn't count as a personal item. It folds up into itself, makes a little pillow on the plane. It is wind repellent and also keeps the misty rain off me. I layer it over a fleece or sweater and it is so warm! I have worn it over a sweater in Arctic Svalbard Norway. I have worn it on Pikes Peak. I wore it in San Francisco and exploring the fabulous west coast. Wore it in Vancouver. I wore it to the Badlands and Custer. Concerts at Gillette Stadium. Wore it to explore Rocky Mountain National Park! It was a perfect option for an Alaska cruise and hiking in Denali! This jacket is so fantastic. I have seen other travelers wearing it too. Its also perfect for walking my dog or everyday life. That front pouch works great for when I don't want to drop my phone while taking photos, or stashing something for later. Buy the jacket! You will find so many uses for it. And it is holding up really well! Over five years old and it is still perfect. I almost wish it would break so I have an excuse to buy another. So many photos of me in the blue anorak.

Great weight, not too heavy, not too light. Really nice fabric with a smooth feel, rather than the typical nylon. The neck zipper is long resulting in a roomy opening for putting on or removing. It also has a generous sized pockets one with a zipper closure and another with a left and right side opening. I wore it to a soccer game on a very windy day in the midwest and it was perfect.

This is the second one I've had. First one 10 years ago. Perfect jacket to travel in. Everything you need can go in front pocket for ease and safety. Fits perfectly.

My late husband and I have purchased this anarak since the 1970s. They stopped selling them for a few years. I'm thrilled they're back! You will want one in every color!

This is the second one of these coats I've owned. It's my go-to for daily wear. I especially love it on vacation because the kangaroo pouch holds a ton of stuff, keeps it all safe and handy.

Great fit. Love the style. Exactly what I was looking for!

All my adult life, every 15 years or so, I have purchased a LL Bean navy blue anorak. I wear it when needed in all seasons, over a shirt in warmer months and over layers in cold weather. It is comfortable, wind resistant and easy to wash. I absolutely love it!

Love this jacket. It is very goid quality. It keeps me dry and is good looking. U would. Uy it again

My new favorite jacket!! I wear it everywhere with everything!! I'm closer to a large than a medium and I ordered a large. It's loose fitting but not too loose. If you're going for a 90s look or want it roomier I would go a size up. I think there was the teensiest bit of shrinkage when I washed it. Also- HOT TIP- the first time I washed it, the strings got pulled and tangled around all my other clothes and got curly. I now wash it in a mesh laundry bag. It gets softer when you wash it too.

The weight is perfect for winter days with a sweater underneath

Absolutely beautiful. The fit is perfect. I wear it all the time,even on cold days.

Ideal and simple pullover jacket for winter, nice detailing and styling.

We are so happy that this old favorite has returned. Everyone in my family had one in the previous iteration. We gave one to my mom for Christmas and she was over the moon to see that this model was back.
