Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Pile Fleece Coat

At first, I started to return this because the zipper didn't work. But I loved the coat so much that I was really hoping I was wrong. Apparently the zipper on this coat is a bit fussy, and others have returned it due to the zipper. It zipped fine the first time I wore it, but the second time I wore it, I could NOT get it to zip. I tried repeatedly, and I was pretty upset considering the price, but as I said, I wanted very badly for it to work, so I kept putting the coat on and trying the zipper, and it worked every time. I had one more time it didn't zip, but my theory now is this: make sure the two zips at the bottom are together, then gently and calmly put the little metal tab into them and gently zip it up. This has worked every time. Keep in mind that it's a two way zipper, designed to be able to be zipped up, but then to also be able to unzip the bottom part so that you can sit down without the coat bunching. Two way zippers can be a little finicky. I wore the coat in NW Oregon at 43 degrees F, with wind, and I was warm. I wanted a scarf, but I was impressed with how well this light weight coat kept out the chill. I can't vouch for colder than that, but in my area, it doesn't usually get much colder for more than a few days in winter. I'm also not sure how well it would hold up to heavy rain, but I wore it in medium rain, and it was fine.

This jacket is perfect for fall and mild winter days. It's constructed very well. You should know it is fitted so you might want to go up a size to fit a sweatshirt or sweater under it.

Great purchase, it kept me nice and warm in 48 degree weather this am. Love the color, fits nicely, true to size. The length is good, keeps your legs warm too. I really like it.

This is a perfect fall jacket. It's very comfortable, cozy and I love the longer length. I have gotten lots of compliments when I wear it. The color is as expected.

Bought this fleece in petite XXS. Perfect fit and great for walking the dog on cool mornings. For reference I'm 5 feet 108 pounds.

I loved it. I'm all set up for my trip to Chicago. It looks so cozy and it feels cozy and very comfy

True to size. Cozy and warm!! I'm 5'10" and it's long enough!

I love this coat. I've had my eye on it for months. My boyfriend surprised me and bought it for me. I was thrilled because I love the color and size Large was a perfect fit. Warm & toasty for Green Mountains winter.

Love love love this coat!!!! So cozy and warm, and super flattering :)

Perfect jacket for our trip to Yellowstone & Grand Tetons in early spring. Loved the length and weight of the jacket. Perfect for being out in the drizzling rain 60 degrees in day 50's & 40's at night.

I bought this coat for my best friend out of state. And she tells me that it fits perfect, loves it.

This coat is very warm but not bulky or heavy. The material is soft and washes great

I love the look and comfort of fleece, but always regret buying them because they seem to collect dog fur like crazy! I have 4 long haired dogs of my own, in addition to fostering dogs and this coat has not collected any fur! To be fair, I did spray the coat down well with Static Guard when it arrived, but I have done this to other fleeces as well and it did not make much of a difference. This coat is cute and warm. In all honesty I am still cautious with it, I definitely don't wear it to sit on my couch, I don't roll around or wrestle the dogs with it on, but I do wear it in the house/car and still have yet to find a piece of fur that doesn't easily brush off several weeks later. Worth every penny!

I just get the jacket and I love it I'm 5'7 140 I got size M and fits me perfectly. The material is great feels very warm that not overhauled. Also the jacket Looks great with my gym shoes and pair of leggings as well as stylish boots and pair of jeans.

A beautiful and comfortable jacket for cooler weather!

Bought this for my wife, she loves it. very well made

Love, love, love this coat. It's very roomy and is a delight to wear.

I've owned mine for a little over month now and I wear it constantly. I live in the great NW and it has been the perfect warmer option for late winter early spring! It's not too heavy and hot but it'll keep you warm. I ordered it in the natural color and love it as well. Matches most of my wardrobe. I really want it in more colors now! I'm curvy and 5'9 fits my frame perfectly I ordered an XL.

LOVE! I am SO happy I decided to buy this jacket. It keeps me warm and cozy in cold gusty New England winds AND covers my bum(!) without being too bulky. The pockets are awesome size and perfectly placed- great design! I will be using this as a go to jacket/coat for many years.

This mountain pile fleece is heavier than my other L.L.Bean fleece and so I have found it to be especially warm. The inside of this coat has a very tightly woven fabric base that really keeps you warm. I love the longer length and it has very roomy pockets on the front bottom that I can easily put my hands in, and I really like that. I find this is perfect on a cool day, but I would wear my lighter fleece on warmer days. I love the fit and have received several compliments on it when I have worn it.

This coat is warm and cozy and brings some needed color change from the winter coat (I got the mauve). It's busier than I would like with all of the seaming, but I'm still glad I got it.

Love it! Find it warm enough with mid layer; however, it is not wind proof. Would be great if it were.

This jacket for the win! Got it for my daughter for Christmas to wear pre and post workout as she trained for a marathon. She's ended up wearing it all day every day this winter. It has cute seaming details that give it shape and appeal to a 26 year-old. Berber fleece in off white reads "stylish" not "teddy bear". Looks great over jeans, leggings and wide leg pants alike. Inside is smooth and slips on easily. Mid-weight fleece insulates outdoors and is cozy indoors without being too warm. Fabric has enough body to skim the figure without clinging. She is a thin build at 5'6" and 120 lbs, XS fit perfectly with room for layering.

The high temp today in East TENN is 35. Walking the dog and stopping to talk to a neighbor was very comfortable.

Great warm coat I usually wear a 2X but I had to size up because of sleeves were snug. Overall A nice warm coat. Reminds me of a teddy bear.
