Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Pile Fleece Coat

While I appreciate LL Bean going back to a two-way zipper, this jacket was just not soft and comfy. Also, the fit was odd. I returned it but hope to see more of the two-way zippers in the future. Also, please get better colors. Your entire line is duller than dirt.

I've loved the look of this coat ever since it first came out. I think it's plenty warm enough for our Ohio winters without too much bulk. Very well made. It just wasn't made for me. I'm 5'2" and 265lbs. I tried a 2X, and while it was heavy, the arms were long and super slender. A beautiful coat, but made for others.

Sleeves are too short and a little stiff for a fleece jacket.

This did not fit as expected.I am 5'5 1/2 and the small was very big and the contour was not flattering. Also I expected the inside to be soft. It was not. I paid the $6 return fee and sent it back.

This looked so cute online. On me, not so cute. Perhaps a fuller figured woman might look good in it, it made me look dumpy and shapeless. Loved the material, just not right for my slender frame. I returned it.

Not very roomy in the chest area. Would be difficult to wear this with a sweater. Cute coat. Sleeves are a bit long. I returned the coat.

I have searched for a replacement to my beloved 20yr+ fleece, hooded, LLBean long jacket. I was so excited because most of the desired boxes were checked. The style was updated, double zip enabled comfortable sitting etc. When it arrived I was so disappointed in the stiffness of the jacket that made it unflattering. Hope the designers will repeat style next yr. w/softer fleece lining; would luv inside pkt. for a cell phone.

I love the look and construction of this coat. I feel it was cut on the smaller side of petite medium but the large would be too large. I put on a turtleneck and very light sweatshirt and the coat felt snug in the upper arms and shoulder. It is super warm so not too much needs to be under it.

I really liked the design of the jacket. Unfortunately, the zipper catch broke at the bottom of the jacket. While I did order my regular LL Bean size, the fit was not comfortable. The arms and upper back were too small and felt tight. Also, it was to tight for layering.

The fabric on the inside is not soft at all. Harsh and scratchy.

It's OK. The large size I ordered was a little tight, so I returned it for an XL. This one is too big; in the body and also the sleeves are too long. Wish I had kept the first one. However, it is warm so I'm keeping this one. Also I wish Bean would quit putting their logos on their clothes. If I'm going to advertise for a company, I should get paid.

I thought this coat would be warm. I run my standard poodles every day. This coat let's the wind through..I was shocked....Nebraska is windy. I love bean clothes!!

The Mountain Pile Fleece Coat looks nice, but is not very warm. Expected more warmth in the lining which is thin for a winter coat.

I really wanted to like this coat. The lining felt almost like neoprene and was a bit scratchy for my liking. The fit was lumpy and unflattering. Really nice pockets though- soo deep and zippered. I ended up returning it though. Just not for me.

I typically wear an XL in LLBean tops/coats with a very comfortable fit. This jacket in both L (tried it first) and XL is too small/snug to be comfortable for normal moving around. Chest too small. Also, the lining is not a smooth or slippery fabric, so it pulls my sleeves up while putting it on -- a pain to deal with. So I won't try a larger size . . . just not good enough. I do like the gray color and the sherpa fleece is attractive, as are the seams which provide a bit of style and shaping. But not worth the sleeves being pulled up every time I put it on. I'll keep looking.

This is much thinner than I thought it would be. The length is really nice...lack of drafts up my back. The sleeves are tighter than I would like too. It is very well made. Don't expect to use it when it gets down near freezing though.

I think it could of been better quality. This was a first for me to be returning anything to Bean. I've come to expect good quality especially with the price point on this coat. I hope I have better luck next time. J. P.

the coat was sized to large and not in a good way. The feel of the outer material was rough to the touch. I did not like the whole look of the coat. I returned it.

I really liked this coat but it runs small very small so returned.

I like the coat for its warmth and length. However, I think the cut is a little off. From the waist down there is ample room. But the cut of the top half of the coat is skimpy, and doesn't feel as though it goes with the rest of the coat. I'm a size 8, so the medium coat should be plenty big enough - and it is, except across the top. The hood also doesn't fit well. Instead of staying in place on the head, it slides all the way forward so that visibility is a problem. I'm usually a big LL Bean fan. But this is not one of my favorite items.

Unflattering silhouette. Garment is made very well. Nice texture to fabric but was unsure of warmth provided. Sent it back. Bought for my 92 year old Mother who is 5'6" of average build.

I was disappointed in the fabric of the coat. Very stiff and not flexible. The fit was good and the length.

I really like this jacket. However its not as warm as i thought it would be. I wear another fleece under it. Its a good looking jacket, flattering for a thick pile, but it needs something to make the inside equally warmer.

It was not soft and fuzzy on the inside. It was pretty stuffy and rigid. It fits very tight through the shoulders.
