Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Anorak Multicolor

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.

A base layer fits perfect underneath. Great for a top layer on any hike. Fits true to size. It's lightweight and very comfortable. I love the big zipper pocket in addition to the big open pocket.

I loved this jacket when I saw it in an email. Read the reviews and purchased with Christmas gift money. Very happy with the fit and look of the jacket. Fun color block with a bit of Mexican style trim. Great for all my outdoor adventures and camping trips. Lightweight so fits in my Camelback without taking up much room so perfect for layering on hikes.

I loved this jacket, the colors are spectacular. I also ordered a zip up jacket, same color and size. The anorak pullover is at least 3"-4" larger in the body as the zip jacket. Luckily there is an xxsmall, so I am returning it for the smaller size. Other than that, really loved the feel and look of it. Can't wait to wear it as it's too cold right now in Minnesota! Wearing snow pants, heavy jacket and mittens for my daily walks.

I purchased this windbreaker larger than I usually order so it would fit over heavy sweaters. I love it. It's adorable and made with a high quality material. I'm sure I will get a lot of use out of it. Don't hesitate. Buy it.

I purchased this honestly just because I liked the way the jacket looked. It fits really well. I can easily move around it in and tighten the drawstrings on the sides so cinch it to my hips. It works very well at keeping me warm in 50 degree weather on a rainy day with just a long-sleeve shirt underneath.

Every time I've seen it, it's been sold out, which tells me that it's good stuff. It is incredibly comfortable and flattering. Folds up small and quick to pop on. (But why take it off?). The colors are beautiful and it's been a go-to I'm our chilly FL weather. Love this one.

I really love this anorak. The X large is fitted to my body, but I'm also able to put it over their sweater fleece coat just fine. If you prefer things a bit more baggy or plan to layer it with something heavy, I'd get a size up, but the XL was perfect for me. This was my go-to all spring and summer. It has 2 large pockets, and can fold into itself quite small when you want to throw it in your bag. I wore it in high winds and heavy rain, its held up great!

I have the original of this jacket - it's OLD and still in excellent condition! It's one of my favorite cold weather jackets!

Fits over my hips and looks great. Bright colors, looks like photo.

I had bought this Anorak jacket about 30 years ago and I loved it! Somehow, over the past few years in a move it got lost. I have really missed not having it so I ordered another. Again, I love it! I wear it over a fleece zip up to cut the wind when I am out for my walk. I love that the length is perfect to wear over leggings. My last jacket lasted over 25 years (as most Bean products do) so I hope to have this for the rest of my life! :)

This is my new favorite jacket to wear. It's a great fit and is very lightweight, but still leaves space for other layers underneath. I would definitely recommend this product! I also love the colors.

Feels like just a pullover. Very comfortable to sit at a restaurant and leave on. Beautiful colors and style. And very flattering to a plus size figure. Couldn't be happier or love more!

I really am loving this colorful anorak for the chilly fall days here in Minnesota. It's great when I pair it with a long sleeve medium weight shirt. Just right for the transitional weather days before winter.

The very day I received my catalog, I placed my order. The colors are ones I love and the color blocking and trim are beautiful. I look forward to wearing this for many years.

Purchased this for fall weather in upstate New York. It is great for blocking wind and holds up on rainy days. Size is true and I will be able to wear with a fleece underneath it as the weather gets colder.

I love this jacket! Great fit, great big pockets and lots of compliments. It's a perfect fit and I'm so glad to have it.

I fell in love with this thing as soon as I saw it in the catalog. It didn't disappoint! I certainly didn't need another windbreaker but this one puts all my other ones to shame. Living in Maine, though, you're wearing some type of outer covering most of the year, so that alone is a good excuse for buying another coat I didn't need. The colors are vibrant, the fabric and the workmanship are of the highest quality, and the fit is perfect. It's roomy enough to wear a flannel shirt or sweater under it, And I'm getting compliments on it every time I wear it. No regrets!

I love the style and colors. The quality of construction and fabric are excellent.

So happy I made the decision to buy this jacket. It is the perfect jacket to wear on a cool day. I bought it to wear while walking my dogs. Plenty of pockets for my keys, phone, doggie bags, etc. The front zipper makes it easy to get on and off. Would definitely buy it again.
