Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Anorak Multicolor

I live by a river and sometimes, the wind is pretty wicked, even if the weather is nice. I was looking for something wind resistant, water resistant and easy to throw on to walk the dog. I also wanted to be able to layer a sweater or vest under this jacket, so I bought a size up. It's a good fit. I like the colors and, overall, it's a comfy jacket for everyday - and for travel when I can do that again.

Bought this just before we left for a southern vacation and as a last minute choice, I wore it in the car with a turtleneck. So glad I brought it as the first several days were really chilly and with just a tee shirt and the anorak, I was comfortable. Plenty of room, great sleeve and hem length, love the ginger color and deep 'pocket'. I normally wear a large but bought an XL for layering and it was not baggy with the tee shirt and I'm sure a light sweater and shirt under it will be just fine, though I think my favorite turtlenecks will be the main undergarment. Spilled on and washed it in cold water, air dried, looks perfect. So very happy to have bought this, highly recommend.

I have worn this almost every day since I got it in the mail. The colors are great. The pockets are so useful. The fabric is useful as a light protective layer. It runs big in my opinion, and I sized down from my normal size and glad I did. Absolutely love this jacket!

Love the colors and fit.

This is lightweight, but still blocks the wind, Plenty of room to layer. i get many compliments on the great look. I have been wearing it for my early spring hiking outings.

I've had this jacket a few months and just started wearing it with the warmer temps. There is plenty of room to layer and the color combination is very attractive- many compliments. Highly recommend!

It's great for outdoors. It fits true to size and I especially loved the different colors. This type of jacket is so hard to find.

I'm petite and fit is always a challenge, but this fits well with room for a sweater underneath. It sits slightly below my hips, which I like. Fabric, colors, weight are all what I was looking for. Very happy with this purchase.

very nice, color looks fab and true to the picture. True to size. Would def. recommend.

This jacket is perfect!! I wear it all the time! It's the perfect spring time jacket and I get compliments on it every time I wear it! Super comfy!! Love the pockets and the colors are on point!

This is my go to jacket. A true "wind breaker" with the most convenient pockets for outdoor activities. The zip pocket is great for phone and keys at the puppy park and the kangaroo pocket fits a large water bottle comfortably. The hood provides excellent coverage when fully zipped and the jacket is rain proof. I sized up to fit fleece jackets and quilted vests underneath when it is cold. You can't go wrong. Fits true to size.

I HAD AN LL BEAN ANORAK LONG AGO FOR CROSS COUNTRY SKIING,PASSED IT ALONG TO DAUGHTER. NOW HAPPY TO SEE ONE AGAIN FOR WALKING!

Exactly what I was looking for. Love the hood that comes up and over and the front "kangaroo" pocket.

Love colors style and look great fit

Fits nicely but it may be snug for winter wear over first and second layers. Typically an Anorak is used as a 3rd layer. I will be using this one for Spring and Fall. Great quality, great price

This is my 3rd Anorak jacket. My oldest one, still in good shape, is my 'emergency' coat that stays in the car. I've had to use it a few times when weather has changed quickly. It fits well over a few layers (a long sleeve tee and a thinner fleece) and keeps the wind out. I use these jackets for a wind blocking outer layer on my walks and they are the perfect length. My newest Anorak is the mauve/ocean teal color block. The colors are so pretty and springy, and it's such a functional item.

This is really cute! Great quality, colors are true to the photos, which I love! Great lightweight pullover for Spring and Fall. I purchased the Vista Hikers in the brown/maroon color and they match wonderfully. Can't wait to wear it! For reference my chest is about 34"-36" and this fits great.

Great fit. Nice fabric and color

I love this anorak! Runs true to size with plenty of room for a layer or two. Cuts the wind well. I have not yet worn it in precipitation, but expect it will be fine. Love the color palette, too!

I bought this one size up so it could be an outer layer for cross country skiing and winter running, wanted to be able to layer over a lightweight puffer jacket. I own an older version of this anorak in medium that I wear in the summer as a windbreaker, that's at least 20 years old. The pockets are great, hold mittens and hat if I get too warm. The hood keeps my ears warm when going into the wind. And I've gotten lots of compliments on the color block design.

I chose this Anarak because the colors jumped out to me and I loved it. I like the extra long zipper for ease of on/off and I like the pouch pocket in front. I live in the Pacific Northwest where this is the perfect weight over a sweatshirt or vest with shirt. Rain showers can often surprise me on my walks, so the hood and wind resistant fabric are perfect. I have not worn it outdoors yet because we are having extremely cold weather with snow. This will be my spring go-to jacket.

I have had my eye on this windbreaker for over a year. I noticed that the xxs was on sale and i was debating if I thought I could fit into one that small. After reading several of the reviews and seeing several people say the jacket runs large, I decided to go for it. I absolutely love the way the xxs fits. There is not much room to layer underneath, but I figured you don't typically layer with a windbreaker anyways.

This was a perfect fit, the colors are amazing! I got the Sienna Clay/Glazed Ginger and the color combo is just gorgeous! I wore it last weekend to hike and it was a great for the wind. It was around 40 degrees and I had a sweatshirt and long sleeve tee underneath and was warm. I haven't tested it in rain, but I accidentally spilled something on it while it was sitting in the car and it didn't absorb any of it, I was able to just dump it out, so I think it is at least fairly water repellant. The thing I was most worried about when buying was the fit, because most people with my stats were buying smalls, but some said it was boxy and some said it was perfect and some bought regular and some petite, so I was torn. This is my first LLB purchase and I didn't know how sizing generally runs. I ended up ordering the petite XS, and it is perfect, not boxy, so if you're not sure or in between sizes, I would size down for this. There was still plenty of room for a sweatshirt and a long sleeve tee underneath and it was not tight at all even with both of those. I love it, and will definitely be wearing for all my hiking adventures!

I originally had my eye on this jacket in a different color combo a few months ago, but I decided to wait. Then this color combo became available and I'm so glad I waited! The colors are exactly as pictured. This jacket is nice and light-weight, which is important to note, and fits perfectly. It's not oversized or too tight. The sleeves aren't too short either, which is typically a problem for me, being 5'8".

Perfect size with plenty of room to add a couple of layer shirts.
