Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Down Parka

Love this coat Fit is true to size and very warm in Montana cold climate.

Great coat, light, warm...just check the snaps. I have two that do not snap.

Very warm and comfortable for this New England weather

The coat is warm and stylish looking. My main complaint is the lack of convenient pockets (having just the two outside slash pockets and one small inside zip pocket that is just barely big enough for my phone

Warm coat, but zipper tends to get stuck at the neck line.

This is the perfect length jacket for a person is active.I have had three of these jackets over the past 25 years. I would suggest deeper pockets that zip up and eliminate inner zipped pocket.

I like the length and warmth of this coat. It's good in the wind. It doesn't penetrate the fabric, but I have to echo what others have said, the pockets are too shallow and the snaps are hard to do. Please stick to zippers LLBEAN!

I waited a couple years before I ordered this Parka and so far I've been very pleased with my purchase. I tried the coat on at the store to make sure the fit was right since I needed a petite size and then ordered it in the Kelp Green color which arrived at my home in less than week. The XS gave me enough room to layer with a heavier sweatshirt underneath and the length is perfect for running errands or keeping me warm when taking a walk on a cool or windy day. I've had no problems with the zipper. My only disappointment is the size of the pockets as previous reviews have mentioned. The pockets could definitely be bigger, even if it's just to accommodate a cellphone, keys or a wallet. The jacket is a heavier weight but works fine for flying and travel. I gave it 4 stars only because of the pocket size. We'll see how warm and dry it keeps me this winter.

Very good product, especially attractive at the sale price.

I love it but I would like the hood to be warm too.

i like it and it fits fine. just a bit bulker then I thought

Looked at several parkas with the help of your wonderful helpful staff. Decided to buy this one and am sooo happy with it.. It's light,very warm and I love the color. Sometimes I have a problem with the zipper it takes me a little time to close it, but I would never return the item.

Earlier I wrote that I was disappointed because I only had my coat a year and the zipper broke. LL Bean did reach out to me and offered to replace the coat if I still had my receipt or fix the zipper for free if I didn't. Because of that I am changing my review.

The jacket is comfortable and I can prevent cold air from entering from below with the cinching cords. The zipper seems quite sturdy. However the pockets are fairly small. I need to ball my fists to get them seated in the pockets. In my experience, this appears to be the norm for women's clothing.

Ended up having to replace my prior L.L. Bean winter coat that I had for years. This coat is pretty warm and when the hood is up, it's up. It pretty windy here so this is great on winter days. I do, however wish the pockets were a little bit deeper other than that it's a great buy.

Nice and warm! Seems to run a little larger than I expected. I wish the pockets were deeper.

nice coat, warm, waterproof. runs small. do wish there were inside pockets.

I absolutely loved this jacket and wanted to keep it but the pockets were just too small. The pockets are too small for my phone to stay in it. My phone fell out more than once.

Great coat. The only drawback it that it's hard to zip up. The material gets stuck in the zipper. The coat is very warm and comfortable.

I love the coat! Just what I needed for those cold morning walks! I am 5'6" and weigh 172. The coat fits perfectly in a large. I can wear a sweater under it comfortably. The arms run a little small so you can't wear anything real thick under it. However, the coat is very warm so this hasn't been a problem. Yes, I recommend the coat you will not be sorry unless your arms are too tight! I live in SC so we had some 20 degree weather sometimes !

Great coat. The sleeves are long on me but otherwise, very nice fit. This coat is light weight yet very warm.

I love this coat and am so happy about the size inclusivity. It's warm, flattering, and a lot of options for personal adjustment. I don't have a problem with the arms or pockets like some of the other commenters - gloves and my phone stay in fine and there are two levels of pockets, one with a zipper. My major complaint is that the hood snaps off incredibly easily. A couple snaps come undone nearly every time I pick it up. It should be secured with a zipper instead. I'll keep it but might get it altered to avoid this.

Overall this is a decent coat, but to be perfectly honest the hood is horrible other than that it's good. It does what its supposed to do keep you warm in cold weather.

Warm and comfortable coat but it could be a little longer

I love this coat. It's warm and stylish -- I've gotten compliments on it. My one complaint is the pockets need zippers... they only have a single snap button to keep them closed which isn't convenient or easily accessible. And the pockets are angled in such a way that if you don't keep the snaps closed, stuff could easily fall out.
