Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Down Parka

Great. coat, very warm and comfortable. Only complaints I have are that the buttons to close it are very tiny and hard to button and it would be great to have a pocket on the outside of the coat and a bigger pocket inside.

I purchased this coat.. I have an older version and really love it. I was disappointed that this coat did not have some of the same features. Velcro cuffs to keep the cold out on the sleeves, the new one has 2 snaps, the hood has snaps, the older one has a zipper. I thought there would be a sale on this coat after the holidays.

I was on the borderline between two sizes and asked for guidance. I was told to buy the smaller size, which i did. I was leaning that way already, so I bought the L/1X size, thinking there was no way a size 2x/3x would look right. I've never worn either of those larger sizes. I still don't think the larger size would be appropriate since the L/XL fits in the waist and hips. My conclusion is this coat isn't quite right for ladies with a larger than the chart size's bust measurement. This isn't the coat I would buy if I had it to do over. A coat without the combined sizing of this coat would be a starting point. Other than the above, I truly like the coat. It is not too bulky, but it is warm enough to wear in the snowy days we get sometimes in TN. I like the easy to manage quick snap up design with the additional zipper for windy days.

I Love this coat. It's like wearing an attractive sleeping bag. It does have one flaw, shallow pockets. I've lost my phone so many times I've lost count. There's a pocket with a zipper and above outside of that one. It's that one which is super shallow and Everything falls out of it. But besides that one flaw, I do see it as such, it's a perfect coat. Super warm, and it's going to be -20 tomorrow.

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.
