Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Anorak Multicolor

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.

This thing is WAY too big. I can see how it could be cute in an oversized kind of way, but that's not what I'm going for - I actually want it to fit. I'm keeping it because it would be a pain to return and because I love the color and style. I wish LL Bean would offer the other anoraks in the same color scheme and style. It's lightweight but I haven't had an opportunity to test it out, yet.

This jacket is a great, versatile layer. I've worn it to a casual dinner, work, hiking, and as an outer layer for spring skiing (Really warm, waterproof, and wind-resistant). All-in-all I love the fit. The small fit (Athletic build), but I got a size up so I could wear it outdoors with layers underneath. The reason I gave it a three was because there are a lot of threads pulling out at the seams, mostly around the band in the front and around the zippers. I would expect better quality and not as many pulls. They aren't unraveling the coat quickly, however, they appeared after only a few times wearing it. Kinda bummed, but it still can be used.

It just got delivered today. I tried them on and the left hand side hand didn't align perfectly. It felt so weird to move hand while wearing it . Definitely return :(

Very pretty but not the easiest getting on and off. I'm 5'8" 139 lbs and ordered the medium. Felt it could have been roomier. I returned

Really cute, unfortunately the sizing seems off. The XXS Petite was too large and too long still. Sizing needs to be addressed.

Love the color's but NEVER long enough. Please make more TALL options

It fits great and looks great on. Wore it tonight at a concert while it was raining and definitely not waterproof, at all. Soaked within10 minutes. Should not even be advertised as a rain jacket but more like windbreaker.
