Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Anorak Multicolor

As soon as I saw this jacket, I knew I wanted one, but.... which one? I liked all the colors! I was able to get to a store an hour away, and I chose the Spruce/Tuscan Olive. The spruce is close to a teal green. I matched the red to cloth swatches that I have, and it is brick, as another reviewer said. At 5 feet, and 145 pounds, I usually wear a petite large in jackets. The store did not have these in petite, and only had small and xx-small in this color. The small was roomy in the body, so medium would have been too big. The sleeves were a little long, but the elastic kept them at my wrists and above my hands. It was a little long in the body (hem fell at bottom of my butt). My first thought was to go home and order a petite small, but I decided the extra length would provide more coverage against the weather (this is wind and water resistant). Also, the adjustable drawcord at the hem, allows for bringing the material closer to the body. With the drawcord tightened, I can pull the back of the jacket up above my butt and it stays there. So there is some flexibility as to look and coverage. So, if I were to order a second jacket in others colors, I would go with a petite small, as that would look better, especially with shorts. However, I know that I will be happy with the regular small paired with jeans, when the weather gets cooler. Then I can add a long layer underneath, if I so desire. When I got home with the jacket, I did put a sweater on and then the jacket to test layering. It was still comfortable, and there was plenty of give when I stretched my arms! The material is nice and soft. I see that they have this in an insulated version. The colors don't work for me, but I am hoping they come out with more. I usually avoid pullovers because they mess up my hair, but the opening is big enough that it's not a problem. I am so happy that I got one of these!

It fit perfectly and the look and feel was super. It's just right for almost all of our weather in East Texas and it can be layered for extra warmth as needed. This will be perfect for travel and visits to the Northeast in the Autumn. A must have for any active wardrobe.

I followed the size chart and it said I should wear a medium. The medium arrived and it was huge on me. I exchanged it for a small and it fits well with plenty of room to wear layers underneath.

I have had my Anorak for about 20 years and it still looks brand new. It can be used for three seasons. Love the big pocket!

Would love if this jacket was offered in the insulated version!!! Love the colors and always beans quality is great, just buy it already :P

Beautiful colors, true to size and very, very Bean!

amazing! relaxed but flattering fit. Spacious pockets, sturdy zippers with useful elastics around the wrists and adjustable ties for the hood and bottom of the jacket. The colors are great too! I will update my review after taking it out on the trails a couple times.

I just got this coat today and I absolutely love it! It fits perfect (even over my larger chest). I thought about sizing up for that reason and am glad I didn't. I love the colors and comfort of it. I am going to be using it camping this weekend in Wisconsin so we will see how it fares through the weather.

I ordered this jacket when it was still warm here. Yesterday, it was cool and rainy so I grabbed my new jacket as I left the house. I love it. Lightweight, pretty and just the perfect thing on a cool, rainy day. The colors are gem-like. I look forward to wearing it again.

Lightweight. Used it in a sprinkle of a rain water beaded up. Attractive. Roomy enough to wear warm clothing underneath.

I usually try and select items on line or from the catalog, however, I was pleased to be in the store to purchase this item. I was able to try it on and realized that the Petite items fit me better.I am very satisfied with this purchase and I love going to the L.L. Bean store in Freeport, Maine when I am on a US road trip with family. Thank You.

Lightweight yet durable. A comfortable fit yet room for a sweater underneath. Love the colors! I am going to get a lot of wear out of this.

I am OBSESSED with the look of this windbreaker. I am in love with the colors, and it fits perfectly. I was toying between getting a regular and a petite, but decided on the petite because of my height. It fits PERFECTLY. It is absolutely what I needed because I travel a lot and never know what kind of weather I will be dealing with. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a good quality windbreaker.

I'm very happy with my purchase of this jacket. It fits really nicely and I appreciate that there are petite sizes available. If you are around my size, I would recommend getting the petite, as as it does tend to hang a little long and I would imagine that the regular fit wouldn't sit right. The torso is a looser fit, and there is enough room to fit a thermal jacket underneath. If you are looking for a good jacket for rainy summer weather, camping, or hiking, this is the one!

What a find! Comfortable & roomy. Very resistant to water and great for hiking. I initially bought it because I loved the different color combination of the fabric and that it was waterproof & had a hood. I wear a petite size M, which fit perfectly, with enough extra room to have another shirt on underneath. With the exceptional quality of LL Bean, I'm looking forward to years of hiking ahead in this versatile jacket.

Fits perfectly! This is exactly what I expected and I couldn't be happier!

Great quality, lightweight, and attractive. The zipper is higher at the neck (wonderful for chilly winds) and the hood, although some complained it was too big, seems fine to me. Best windbreaker ever.

I have purchased this item for an upcoming summer trip to Iceland. Other than trying the item on and wearing it around the house to insure comfort and size, the jacket has not really been put to the road test. However, it has a good fit with room to wear a few light layers underneath, if necessary. The colors are true to what is represented in the picture, and the decorative braid is much cuter than indicated in the picture. I was interested in something unique and colorful so that I could be identified from a distance... and I think this definitely will serve that purpose well!

Very comfortable, breathable material (not plastic). Neck opening plenty large enough to put on and off easily. Having hood is good if weather turns colder. Just what I was looking for!

Love the colors, love how it fits and feels and I especially love its timeless design. I owned one years ago, and am so glad I purchased again.

The color block styling of this jacket caught my attention. A little different from your run of the mill anorak. It actually looks better in real life than in pictures. I love it. Although it is not fully waterproof, it kept me dry through a rainy picnic. The pocket in front is handy but well concealed in the design. The style is generous to go over a sweater or sweatshirt but not bulky. Perhaps one of my favorite clothing in purchases this decade.

This is one of the better pull over's I have. Keeps the wind out - been using for spring skiing - one thing that could make it that much better would be vents under the arms just so you can keep it on and cool off at the same time. I live in Utah and am looking forward to using for hiking. I like the fact it packs into its self and is really light. love the colors and fit.

It's been a really wet spring. I teach and walk the children evey day to their busses. This jacket keeps the wet and wind out. I love how it cinches so the rain stays out. So light weight and comfortable I find myself wearing it inside and out. Great style LLBean! Super fun color!

I bought this jacket at the end of the fall, so haven't worn it yet. It's cool and still really rainy here so I'm not wearing it yet. I plan to wear it with another layer. The colours are gorgeous, and the styling is very nice. It's light, and the fabric has a nice feel. I did fold it up into my bag, and when I pulled it out - no wrinkles. I'm looking forward to getting lots of use out of this jacket as I think it will be perfect for the less rainy spring, summer, fall weather in the Pacfic Northwest.

I typically wear a PM in L.L. Bean; I bought this in a PL so I could wear layers or a heavy sweater under it, and I find it comfortably loose. The hood fits well, the drawstrings work well, and the pockets are perfect--plenty of room and well placed. I just tucked it up into its own pocket for packing for the first time, and it's big but nice and flat. A few minor cons: Like many manufacturers, Bean cuts their "petite" clothing for someone of average height, about 5'4", so the sleeves just about reach my fingertips, but they're not uncomfortable pushed up. Also, while this is water resistant, it is not waterproof. Much like a tent or a tarp, if the wet area gets pressed to your skin, a touch of moisture seeps through. It's not bad, but it's noticeable. Overall, I'm very pleased.
