Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Down Parka

Good quality and good fit. Runs on the larger side (usually wear a medium, but a small fit better). It does seem like the down fill level has gone down. It is still warm, but I had another of the same coat I bought used last year and it is much thicker.

This is a great coat. It is lightweight, warm and fits a curvy gal very well. My only wish is that it had better, deeper pockets for gloves and my cell phone. Otherwise, it was the perfect choice for a recent winter trip to Montana, Wyoming.

the coat is cut large but suitable for petites. the zipper is finicky though.

Very nice jacket, small pockets. Very comfortable and warm.

This is a very nice coat. It's very warm. I do wish the pockets were larger to allow for holding my winter gloves. I wish the outer pocket zipped.

This is a great coat with one major flaw: the pockets. The pockets have one snap and are not deep enough at all. They will hold your cell phone but don't be surprised if it falls out. Why would you not have zippered pockets on a $200 coat? Come one Bean, you're better than that!

This fits well, and keeps me nice and warm. I'm disappointed in the pockets. My old parka had 9 pockets of various sizes and shapes, all over the coat. This just has 2 main pockets with 2 zippered pockets inside those. None are big enough for a cell phone or my mittens.

The coat zipper is a little difficult but maybe it'll get better over time. I've only worn the coat twice. It kept me warm while walking around looking at Christmas lights in 30 degree damp weather. I have an old Bean down coat that flap pockets and side entry pockets that I like better than this coats side entry pockets with internal zipper. Not as easy to retrieve my gloves.

I love my Classic Down Parka and have been wearing it for about 3 weeks. My only suggestion is that there be a velcro tab on the hood itself to shorten how far the hood comes down over the face. I have to constantly push it back as it falls somewhat over my eyes. This is the only reason I gave it a 4 rating.

VERY warm jacket - it's exactly what I was looking for - however, the feathers have been falling out. I wouldn't have expected this from a $200 jacket.

I really like this coat. I ended up getting a Large size and it fits well although it looks a little bulky. I debated going down a size but I think this will work nicely over bulky sweaters. I love that the parka covers my bum and comes down to my wrist. Love the color too. I think the only thing I don't love is the pockets. With having both a zipper and a button I sometimes struggling putting and taking things out of the pockets.

Perfect for New England weather. Keeps you warm without adding too much bulk and driving friendly. The only downside is that the 2way zipper sticks when you want to give wiggle room when sitting down.

I spend a lot of time outdoors and this is perfect. Great for layering or just wearing alone. Keeps you nice and warm on cold days. I only gave it a 4 because it does not have a lot of pocket space. I like my jackets to have lots xtra little hidden pockets with zippers to secure my stuff because im an avid walker,and this lacks that space,and the hand pockets dont have a zipper just a snap which doesn't close the pocket all the way. Otherwise its a perfect jacket for me.you can move around easily in it it is not restrictive,and the green color is so pretty !

Zipper is a bit hard to get started. Warmth and comfort are great

I really love this jacket and I wear it everywhere. The only thing that I had was I thought it would be a little bit thicker, but I think that the type of material it is made out of makes up for it as it always keeps me warm and dry no matter what.

It was a lovely parka in every way.except the zipper stuck..every time. So obviously, I had to return it. Never even got to wear it.

This jacket fits nicely and is warm. I like the zipper feature inside of the pocket, feels much more secure than the initial button on the outside of the pocket. This jacket, however, is missing some very basic features. For example, it would be nice to have a built-in cuff around the wrist to help with warmth and air not getting up your sleeve. The jacket could also do with a different material lining the inside, especially around the neck, where the material is quite scratchy , especially when buttoned all the way up to your face.

I really love this coat. It's lightweight yet keeps you warm. I got the olive color and it's so pretty. I'm 5'2" 122lb and ordered a small and fits great! You can adjust the waist to cinch it in if wanted and it's a little hard to get used to feeling that around your waist. I just keep mine loose. The only downfall and reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the hood is attached with plastic snap buttons and the hood comes detached way too easily!! If it's hanging on a hook and I grab it by the hood several snap come unbuttoned. For this price point that is pretty disappointing.

Jacket is nice and warm...Wish it had more pockets. I carry phone, flashlight and doggie poo bags.

I got this jacket on sale in regular size. I wish the petite size was available in gray birch color. However, the overall fit is still good and the difference is barely noticeable. The sleeves aren't too long and the bottom of the jacket hits above my knees. For reference, I'm 5 ft tall. Also, I would have liked the front pockets slightly deeper to fit a glove. Thankfully, there's an inner pocket with zipper to store necessities like lip balm, credit cards, etc. The jacket kept me warm especially when we went to Vermont and Montreal. This is my first ever jacket from LL Bean and it won't be my last.

It's cozy, super comfy, warm and light weight. I love this and the color. Only problem is it snags very easily - even if it rubs against something that is not very sharp. Be careful. But customer service was awesome and exchanged.

The coat is nice and warm. The hood snaps on with plastic snaps and it unsnaps too easily. If I put my purse strap over my head, it gets caught on the hood and unsnaps. The pockets are odd, there's actually two pockets in one, the one is zippered and is deeper than the other one. One of my gloves dropped out of my pocket the other day because I had them in the shallower pocket and they didn't stay secure. Despite those two flaws (in my mind), I still really like the coat. It keeps me warm on the coldest days in a Michigan winter.

Jacket is very comfortable and covers my bottom when I sit on a cold car seat! My only suggestion is that they make the pockets deeper. My phone slips out easily, so I have to zip it up in the inner pocket, which makes it less accessible in an emergency.

I am 4'11', 145 lbs, the PM fits perfectly, and kept me warm during last week's NE arctic air blast. My one issue with this coat (which, for me, am finding is a bigger problem than I thought) are the shallow pockets. Whether it's going to a football game, the grocery store (when it's heavily snowing and 15 degrees), or running around, I just want decent, easy-access - but deep - pockets, for my phone. Before buying the coat, I saw the other reviews mentioning this, but did not initially think much of it. The appeal of Bean is the classic fit and styling of their products. I'm sure that the pockets were never an issue for the small phones, "back in the day" (two years ago - LOL), but hopefully they can update the pattern of the pockets to fit the jumbo phones being made these days.

The pockets are too shallow.. I lost the house key twice but luckily i found them both times. I shouldn't have to zip it in every time I leave the house. I'm afraid to put my phone in the pocket of this beautiful warm coat.
