Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Fleece 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!

Thank you So much love your clothes

Very nice vest, but the zippers scratch your hands. Compared with other outerwear, these zippers are much thicker. They should have used finer (softer) zippers for the pickets.

Did not care for Logo, made too sporty. Returned. Am loyal to LLbean fleece ....

I bought the PL because I intend to wear it over sweatshirts, etc. but it's still quite roomy. Maybe I should have bought the PM. Like the looks of it though, and I'm keeping it.

Fits well and it's warm. It's light, which is what I want. I have a heavier vest for colder times. I removed the adjustable item in the hem. It stuck out on the sides. I don't need it. I'm not a true outdoor person so this may be of value to others & not so much for me. Very satisfied with the purchase. I would rather the fobs on the zippers be something more pliable.

I purchased the Mountain Classic Fleece Vest Misses in a petite, large size. I received it around 10/31/18. I wish I could remember the way it fit all over, but that's all I remember is that it had a stiff collar. It may have, in time, after many washings, softened up but I didn't want to take the chance it wouldn't.

Love it! Soooo soft and warm.... Be sure to measures for right fit!

This vest is warm, soft, and perfect for PNW fall and winter weather. It is exactly what I was looking for to replace the fleece vest my dog decided to destroy! The only reason I chose four stars instead of five is the color. For those who love a true black, this is not. It's pretty, but when worn with other blacks, you can see that it is more of a dark blue/grey.

This is a comfy vest and I will probably keep it, but the black vest is not a true black. It is more like a dark charcoal grey.

In t-shirts and most tops I wear a petite small. If I don't want a skin tight fit, I'll sometimes get a petite medium. So I ordered a PS in this vest and it was HUGE. I returned the vest for an exchange - the process was easy but very slow. Two weeks later I got a PXS and it fits fine. But I don't wear XS in any other piece of clothing, so I'd say these run large in terms of sizes.

Warm, flattering vest with fantastic pockets. I'm ordering another. I would have given it five stars if it didn't have the company logo.

The vest is awesome. I want every single color they can put out there. I hope we get some newer, more colorful options soon. In the meantime though, the vest is definitely roomy and if you want a fitted silhouette definitely size down.

In Bean's outerwear, I normally wear XS or S, depending on the cut and style of the item. I originally ordered this vest in size Small, and the arm holes were so large, they came almost down to my waist! I re-ordered this item in size XS. The arm holes of it are still a little large but are a little more proportionate to the rest of the vest and will still allow me to wear a thicker knit top or sweater underneath it. Love the nautical navy color with dark gold zipper pull tabs. Nice quality and retro preppy look. Getting it 25% off made this a really good deal, too!

I HAD thought that black is black,and with a 'regular' fleece, it would be black, flat black. but this is made w/ 100% polyester and it has a 'shinyness '[?] that results in it looking forest green. so i am regrettably returning it.

Excellent quality and I like the slightly fitted shape. I buy petite even though I am talk because I like the shorter length. But please please get rid of the ugly label on the front which makes it look like a service man's uniform. I remove these labels with a seam ripper but it is not easy to do.

I was surprised at how big the vest is. It flares out too much for me on the bottom half. I am 5'10" and weigh 145lbs. I ordered a women's medium and I returned it. I have strong broader shoulders, and upper back with a more narrow waist, but slightly wider than average hipsso I thought the medium would have been perfect. It WAS perfect on the top half but the bottom half was too darn big. It did NOT accentuate my true shape at all. If and when I order another one, I'll have to give the "small" a try in hopes that it won't be too tight on the upper half. Same thing happened with another vest in the women's department. This is the first time I've ordered from llbean tho. I ordered a small vest in the men's section and it fits perfectly for my body type.

I loved the fit of this vest. (PXL) Unfortunately, I have to return. I bought the mauve taupe because it looked to have a distinctly pinkish hue online. It is full on tan/taupe with maybe a pinkish undertone. Devices can have color variance but in the many, many LL Bean items I have ordered online, I have never experienced such a dramatic variation.

the size chart was way off. I ordered PL and had to exchange it for PM. the shoulders on the PM were way too wide and the armholes were enormous..
