Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Fleece Vest

love it. Great fit for women and shade if blue is beautiful.

Great size, very warm, but sometimes hard to zipper up.

Beautiful vest with nice pockets and detail. It's shorter than other vests I own and it's fitted. So if you plan to wear it over a thick sweater, you may need the next size up or to get a different vest. I wear this to work and with casual jeans. I love the color.

I am really enjoying this vest. It is light but warm and I love the color. I usually purchase tall sizes but find this to be a nice length. It would be a little dressier without the brown accent on the zipper pull and prominent LLBean tag. But overall I love the vest and am very happy with the purchase.

I totally love this vest it is comfortable and warm, love the high collar keeps you warm around the neck, the only downside is it does not have an inside pocket. Otherwise it is super comfortable to have on.

Cozy, warm, love the rich color. I bought a large, and have had many large LL Bean vests before. It is baggy under the arms. I kept it, but would buy a medium another time. I usually buy large vests, so much forgiveness and I did not want it tight around the hips. I am 5'4", 145 lbs.

This vest runs bigger; I expected it to be form-fitting for warmth. The XS is roomy on me. It does wash and dry nicely.

Vest feels good, fits well. I removed the bright orange pulls. Wish the label was smaller, or better yet, inside the vest. Left off the last star because it was called black but really it is a very dark charcoal. I hoped for black.

Love the weight of the vest. Very warm and perfect for NC coast weather!

Very comfortable and flatter fit. Wish there was an interior pocket though.

I love the color. I picked the correct size for me, but it does run small.

I like this vest for warmth and coziness and look. Just a little snug across the chest, otherwise very good.

The vest is a beautiful blue color and meets my needs. I have worn it a lot since I received it. It adds a nice layer of warmth over a flannel shirt or turtleneck. I really like the style. But there are a couple of features that nag at me every time I wear it. One thing is that the right side of the vest side seems to fit better than the left. The arm hole seems to be just a little larger on one side than the other. I've never experienced that, and I own many vests. The thing I noticed most is that the collar is uncomfortable. It stands up a little too high and thick. The material is not as flexible as the other fleece that I own. Normally I just fold down the collar if it's a little too tall or uncomfortable. This collar will not fold down. Another issue that I have is that the vest is a little shorter than I would like. But I know that if I bought the regular length, it would be far too long for me. Bottom line for me is that I'll keep the vest, but I won't buy another.

I really like the length of this vest, and the colorful zipper pull, etc. However, the things I don't like is that it started getting kind of picked areas on the fleece right away, and also the collar doesn't lie down flat. It's a good option for colder weather.

I really really miss the two "bonus" inside pockets created by the pocket bag that are on my older llbean vests and jackets. This design has a horizontal seam above the pocket and the pocket bag is stitched to it eliminating the bonus inside pockets. I use the outside pockets for my hands. Phone, keys, etc feel safer in those former inside pockets. Yes, the pockets zip for security however my hands are in there. Fortunately I sew and created my own inside pockets but that is a lot of work for what I expected to already be a part of the vest. Hopefully llbean will rethink the design of this vest and consider functionality important.

Overall it's well made but if you're on the tall side it's just too short. It hit me just below the waist so it didn't work for me. Buying a larger size would not have helped the length issue. It fit well otherwise.

Just enough of an extra layer to keep me cozy around the house this winter. I do wish that it did not have a collar, competing with my shirt collar and pushing up at the back of my hair though.

Too big, with too large arm-holes. Collar doesn't lay down well. Not as nice as a previous llbean vest!

Love the vest, fabric, fit and color. I hate that he collar does lay flat. It rolls up. Would not accept true to size indicator.

I wanted a heather gray fleece vest and this is exactly what I was looking for. It fits nicely and looks good. The collar wants to flip up, but I haven't washed it yet.

I ordered this a size larger than my usual because I like a vest to have plenty of room. It fit the bill perfectly. I like the styling, but wish it had come in a plain black color. This is a dark grey.

I live in northern Wisconsin, where the winter months are eternal. I have 2 of these vests (and I just ordered a 3rd) because this is my attire all winter long - long sleeved shirt under my LLBean vest. The fit is perfect, it's nice looking, it fits under my winter coat, and it's very comfortable.for wearing all day indoors. I love the zippered pockets, too - my phone is handy wherever I go and I can zip the pockets closed if I have something I don't want to lose in them. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because I'm not a fan of wearing logos and the LLBean logo is obvious on this vest. Otherwise it's just what I need to get through the long, cold winters.

I bought a gray one and a blue one. They are nice looking vests and good quality, as I expect from Bean. Not too heavy and not too light. My only suggestion would be to put a pocket on the inside. We all need a secure place for our phones these days.

Good length for keeping lower back warm. However the stand up collar irritated my neck and ears, so have to keep it folded down unless I'm outside in the wind. The fleece fells plastic-like soft not cuddly soft. Also kind of bulky. Friends like its style.

I read the reviews, decided to get it anyway. I wanted a "dressier" look, so took off the bootlace zipper pulls AND the label, which was simple (it leaves an almost indistinguishable imprint) but since I didn't like the "advertisement" on my vest it works for me!
