Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Anorak Multicolor

Cute jacket, sizing was ok. Bought for a trip to Alaska. Not good for anything past light rain. Got caught in medium rain while hiking and I was soaked to the bone.

Nice jacket, love the colors, but the sizing runs small. 3x should fit a 3x plus sized gal!

It's a lovely design/colors except for being a pull over. I would like it a lot more if it was a zip up jacket. I injured my shoulder and now unable to put it over my head

Love the jacket, but the colors are muted and not at all what they looked like in the catalog (both on-line and hard copy)

A little on the small side. I have an older one that I like very much.

This jacket fits my daughter well in a size medium, but the size information proved to be inaccurate and made it necessary to exchange from a smaller size. For some reason, we weren't credited for the purchase on the original payment method, but given a gift card which must be used for more L.L. Bean purchases. The process was not something I was happy with.

Hard to pull arms out since it's a pullover. Size is right but hard to pull arms out to pull over to get it off.

I had to repair a seam that had not been completely sewn.

It's hard to get on and off. It doesn't have a side zipper

This jacket is really nice. Pockets are great! It's breathable. The colors are pretty, but it was huge on me.

Disappointed that this jacket turned out to be a "windbreaker" and not a padded jacket.

I love the look of this jacket. However, it is not easy to remove. That makes it very difficult to actually use as a jacket. In a restaurant, for example, I'd have to stand up and be somewhat of a contortionist to get it off! In a theater, forget it! Because of the flattering cut, this jacket needs a zipper all the way down the front. If I could have used it as a top, I'd have kept it. But it is noisy like a parka, so that wouldn't work either, so, sadly, I returned it.

Much lighter weight than expected. No lining. Will need layers under it, so go a size larger than usual unless you are looking for a spring weight anorak. Otherwise, workmanship is very good.

This jacket is cute but awful quality. Stuffing keeps falling out from the nylon and I can't wear it without looking shabby. Any insight into how I can fix this?

I was very satisfied with the quality, fit, and color. It was described accurately in the catalog. The reason for my return came down to the fact, there is no type of lining. When wearing the anorak would cling to my shirt(s). Rather restrictive to my movements. If there was even the lightest lining to prevent this is would have been a keeper!

I have long arms and usually purchase large. I had to return this jacket because the hood was so large, it covered my eyes. The rest of the jacket was just slightly too big, but I think consistent with what I expected by ordering large. I liked the look of the jacket, and I think it would have been great to wear on rainy/misty/foggy walks.

I have this identical anorak, that I bought years ago, but it has light insulation for colder weather. The first problem is the anorak fit is smaller than the original. But they also removed the corded cincher around the waistline. I am still wearing the old one in a small with the cord, which makes a huge difference in fit when it's on. So I had to return it for a medium size to get the same fit as the older small and they actually charged me to ship back the small size and exchange it for the medium! I'll have to figure out how to get some kind of cording to cinch around the waist. It's been a great jacket for cooler weather especially when I can tighten it around the waist. I wanted a lighter one for summer nights.

The overall fit is good, but the sleeve at the wrist is WAY too loose. There is really no tightness to the elastic which causes the sleeves to fall over my hand.

I absolutely adore this jacket, the only thing I don't like is how large the sizes run. I ordered a Petite small and it fits me like a large

I LOVED the look and style of is jacket from the photo. I immediately purchased it to replace a very similar jacket that I purchased over 30 years ago. The colors are great, but the style in the photo makes the fit look longer and more fitted. However, when I opened it it turned out to be the same square, boxy style of 30 years ago. I even laid the coats on top of one another and they are identical cuts, except that my old one has a drawstring to make it more fitted. I tried it on to confirm my observations and then packed it back up in the envelope - can't return if quickly enough. Probably a great jacket, but not the style I was hoping for.

I was so excited for this jacket to come! The jacket itself is cute and fits really well. However, I wore this jacket out in the rain for only a couple of minutes and I was completely soaked through. Sadly, I wouldn't even say that this jacket is water resistant.

I really like the anorak, the colors are nice, fabric was as expected, but the hood is useless. It is so large it covers my eyes and nose! I have an average size head and have never had a hood fit so large and floppy. It's going back.

Loved the look and fit of this jacket but it's very, very thin. No lining of any sort, just thin material which I doubt is water repellant. If you are looking for any sort of warmth at all, this will not do the trick.

This jacket is on the boxy side through the body, and not long enough to cover my behind. It is too lightweight to provide any warmth, but might work to keep out moisture and wind as a top layer in winter. The colors are much muddier and darker than represented in the picture.

I purchased this jacket to wear on my trip to Spain in October. It was comfortable and very light weight, but not water resistant. I understand it is not listed as "water proof", but the light rain soaked straight into the jacket immediately and did not "resist" at all.
