Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Pile Fleece Coat

I loved the feel of the fleece coat but it was too tight. It was my usual size, medium.

The coat was uncomfortably stiff. It stood away from my body as if it were starched. The liner wasn't comfortable either. I expected better for the price.

This jacket was returned as it was rather stiff and uncomfortable.

The zipper opens up from the bottom when my wife sits down, something that shouldn't happen. Seems to have a zipper defect. It doesn't feel tight when she sits down but the zipper opens up starting at the bottom where the two sides of the zipper meet.

After trying on this coat, I wondered if just ran small or if it was mis-marked. I decided to return it because it didn't fit me properly and I thought it wasn't as warm as anticipated.

It looks much warmer than what it really is. The inner part is not as warm as the outer one.

Expected more warmth and insulation from cold. It is overall a good outerwear for light breeze but won't stand a chance against cold winter breeze or the weather. Kind of disappointed since I bought two; for my daughters.

Very happy with the style of the coat, it's coverage and the details ON THE OUTSIDE of the garment. It's a bit unique and that's nice. But the lining, Bean, what on earth were you thinking? I don't think you could have found a more cold and stiff fabric for the lining. It's as though it was made by an off brand company for sale at a cheap outlet store. I have to put a scarf around my neck where the lining would otherwise touch, otherwise shivers in cold weather because that fabric is COLD!!! If you were going to use sweatshirt fabric for the lining it should have been the soft inside of a good sweatshirt and not the stiff outside of a cheap sweatshirt.

I was so expecting a fuzzy light wt coat but when I tried it on, the lining was so stiff that I could barely bend my arms, Also I thought it ran a bit small for an XL coat for winter. I returned it. Why the stiff linking I have no idea

It's a quality made fleece jacket- I just don't like the thick flat fleece that this is- otherwise this is a beautiful jacket - thick and would keep someone nice & warm.

"I've always been a fan of L.L. Bean products, so I was really excited about this coat, expecting it to be warm and cozy for winter. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. While the outside feels nice, the inside is surprisingly scratchy, which makes it uncomfortable to wear, especially if you're expecting something soft and fuzzy. The fit is also awkwardit's particularly tight in the arms, which restricts movement and makes layering impossible. It's disappointing to say, but this is the first L.L. Bean product I've purchased that hasn't lived up to the quality and comfort I've come to expect. I hope they revisit the design and make adjustments in the future!"

First of all I love the dark green color. I wish they had more items in this shade. I love the pockets they are large with zippers and soft cozy fabric inside to keep hands warm. However I tried this jacket out on a 55 degree breezy day in Ohio and the hood was not warm. The air came through the fabric and my ears got cold. Also the hood is not designed good. It has good pull ties but if you wear glasses and pull the ties up to keep your neck warm, your glasses won't sit right. Also while the coat feels comfortable it was snug with just a thin flannel shirt. If you want to wear a sweater underneath which you will probably need in winter you will need to size up. I'm afraid sizing up for me would make it too big. I wear a medium. While some people said the lining was stiff and uncomfortable, I thought it was fine although not very soft or pretty. It did seem to make it slide on and off easily. I'm not sure how the outside fabric would wear over time. It is loopier than I expected. Reminds me of carpet. I am returning it because of the fit.

love the color, the fleece, but don't like the lining AT ALL.

I thoughtbthis would be a light wt fluffy coat but the lining inside was very rough and heavy. I could barely bend my arms. Also I felt it ran a bit smaller than expected. But why the heavy material to line iti returned it.

The jacket runs small so had to return. I thought the outside material would be soft but it wasn't. Disappointed in the item for the price. It didn't live up to its picture.

This jacket is very well made. The reasons I took away a couple of stars are: the fit seems a bit off, the jacket fits on my body but sleeve are long (not a big deal, I will cuff them) and I was disappointed that the materials wasn't soft and cozy, it's more stiff.

Pros: cute pile fabric, very soft exterior, nice length, roomy pockets. Looks good unzipped. Good for layering. Cons: lining is rough - I thought it would be fleece lined but it's just the backside of the pile fabric - yuck. It's also bulky at the bottom half. I am 5'2" 115lbs got the XS petite and it is unflattering. Looks weird fully zipped with the hood on - makes you look bottom heavy. I needed this coat for walking my dog in the morning in winter. I guess it's ok for that purpose.

I love the idea of this coat. I ordered an XL. The sleeves are good, maybe a little long, but the shoulders are tight with a t-shirt on. Sadly, I will be returning.

Nicely made coat but the arms were to long for my petete size.

I love the color and look of this coat but I just can't get comfortable in it. The inside of the coat is stiff and it doesn't move with me. I'm usually a small or medium but I had to get a large since the sleeves were too short. The large is just too big.

I purchased this jacket but it was too small. I did not like the fabric. It felt thin and cheap.

I just got this in a small and it was way too small. I would have ordered a size up but the aqua color was too pale, looked faded. The features were great, I was disappointed as I did like it.

I returned this coat. Cozy on the outside but not comfy on the inside, and the styling didn't look good on me.

Runs way small, definitely couldn't zip it up. The arms were loose but nothing else. Seemed like measurements were off on this one. Not as soft as I was hoping but couldn't get passed how small it was on me. I could have overlooked other things but it had to go back.

Very nice
