Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Anorak Multicolor

I love being outdoors. I love traveling. I have a British penpal who 50 years ago introduced me to the idea of a cagoule which is a lightweight anorak, the main feature being something that folds into a pocket so it can easily be transported. Somehow I overlooked this feature when I was reviewing this anorak to purchase. I've wanted an anorak for a long time, just pull over as I have a regular zip front. And I love the color blocking. This color was actually out of stock for quite some time I think I waited about 4 to 5 months in order to obtain my jacket. As usual it's sports the outstanding LL Bean Quality. I myself Am a seamstress and I looked carefully at the seams and the top stitching. It's excellent very even, not too large or too small. It was when I was examining the seams and the top stitching that I noticed that there was an interior zipper pull on the front pocket which is zips so that it could be zipped from the inside. This led me to try and fold it into the pocket which it did. As I am tall, it's usually a chore finding things that are long enough. Even though this is not rated as being for a tall person, because I I am extra large at this time, the arms are actually large enough and long enough to fit me. I really appreciate that. The color combination is beautiful. It fits with room to spare to wear a sweater and layering underneath. This will be perfect for three season terrain outdoorsing in the Sierra Nevada which is where I reside. Perfect, perfect, perfect! I couldn't be happier.

This reminded me so much of an anorak I had in the late 1990s. (I am 40 years old.) I bought it for drizzly spring days in Asheville, and it's perfect. I am normally a small or medium and went with small. Medium would have also been fine as it is ALMOST too small in the hips for me. But I like the trim look of the small.

I love this jacket. It's super comfortable and I love the way it looks. I got a medium and I thought it was a tad big but it just looks a bit oversized which is on trend now anyway.

This jacket is awesome. Super well priced and great at light coverage/especially protection from wind. It's also really cute-- stood out to me online and was even better in store. I hover between a M/L in most women's clothes and this fit well at the M with some roominess. Love it!!

Been wanting this jacket for a long time. Great Fit. Roomy for layering. Love the big pouch to put things in. I ordered the Blue, Green, Copper colored one. Wind resistant. Haven' t had any rain yet to test that. Just snow so far! Ready for summer to arrive.

I'm not exaggerating, I love this anorak. I bike my kids to school in the mornings and I was either too cold or too hot no matter how many layers but now all I do is slip this on and I'm comfy no matter what. Also perfect for a Northern California or PNW beach trip, since it might be sunny and windy at the same time. I love the big kangaroo pocket and the colors are perfect.

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!
