Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Pile Fleece Coat

This is my favorite go to jacket. It's flattering cut gives this bulky jacket a waist and style!

I felt the need to come back and leave a review after debating this purchase for over a year. I came close to buying this coat last year, but ultimately didn't because it has a lot of negative reviews. I'll start by saying this coat should be advertised as a sherpa coat. It is not fleece. It is not soft like a lamb etc, it is sherpa. This was exactly what I expected, but a lot of the bad reviews seem to have expected something super soft. This isn't it. Next, I had no issues with the interior liner of this coat. It's not scratchy or stiff at all, it looks and feels exactly like it does in the model photo of the coat. Finally, sizing on this coat is tricky. There's quite a jump between a medium and a large. I'm 5'6", 165, more athletic build, large but and boobs. I initially purchased a large, which was too big. It was boxy and big/baggy and just unflattering in a large. I exchanged it for a medium, which fit more snugly but looked SO MUCH BETTER. Overall this seems to be a decent coat for the price. This won't keep you warm in Minot North Dakota in -40F weather, but if you're looking for a somewhat warm coat to put on over a long sleeve to walk the dog around in the winter, go for it. Cute coat overall as well.

I live in Montana. This is by no means my deep winter jacket but for the off season it's perfect. I got the blue and orange color which I love and get a lot of compliments when I wear it. It is a bit heavy and stiff but it repels water and snow. The quality is actually quite good and the zipper solid. My only issue is that when I bought it I sized up. It was a little big but I was ok with it. I've since lost 30 lbs and I'm now swimming in it. I've been waiting for LL Bean to restock the color so I can buy a smaller size but of course they don't restock anything good anymore. Disappointed.

Warm & cozy, kept the air outside and heat inside.

Love this coat, it's just long enough to keep warm, well made , deep pockets, attractive.

I love this coat and have gotten many compliments on the color

This is a cozy well built coat. It does seem a bit stiff at first out of the bag (it looses up after a couple of wears) but I like that it's not floppy. It served me well on a trip to Yosemite where it is cool mornings & evenings but I didn't want to take a winter coat. Zipper pockets are great & I appreciate it's a loose comfortable fit with the back slightly longer that the front. I also love the color.

This is a beautiful coat. Well made, warm and attractive.

I read past reviews about this coat and respectfully disagree. There is nothing I dislike about it. I wore it for the first time this week in the mountains of WNC where it was breezy and 30 degrees with an inch and a half of early season snow. It was very warm and toasty. I love the look, feel and comfort. I am 4' 11 1/2" tall 100 pounds and ordered a Petite XS. It fits perfectly.

Obsessed. I'm warm and I feel like a teddy bear. Big fall vibes

Love this coat. This is a great length & fits just right.. I didn't want it to be bulky & it's not. So glad I got it!

I purchased this as a gift for someone but I know she is happy with it.

Love the longer length and material. Purchased a Small which I normally wear in LLBEAN. A little larger in the sleeves but would have been too small in X-Small.

I read the reviews and wasn't sure about the fit, but I went ahead and purchased this in the brown and LOVE it! My typical size is a small (5'6" 123 lbs.), but they were sold out in the small, so I went with the extra small and it fit great. I like that it doesn't look bulky, and that it covers my rear. To note, I have a smaller upper body, so if you are heavier on top you might find it snug. Perfect for me!

Love this coat. Very warm and cozy and good looking. The length covers well while walking or driving and the high collar protects as well.

Great coat. Fits as advertised. I really like it. Looking forward to wearing it this fall when the air is chilly.

A cozy coat with the right length. Easy to throw on and a warm coat with a hood.

I have been eyeing this coat for 2 years and finally pulled the trigger using my LLBeanbucks. It has been put away for next season, so I will have something new to look forward to starting winter '24 with my new coat.

Love my new coat! It's so cozy & warm. I've worn it on a cold, windy, rainy day in WI & I was warm & dry. I'm 5'3", 135lbs & ordered a small. The fit is perfect.

Warm. Comfortable . Layers well with my turtlenecks and light shirts.

I looked all over for this coat! Sold out most places. I finally found it and love it!!

I love this jacket! I was on the fence for so long about purchasing, but I'm glad I did. The length is perfect. It has a wonderful thick sweatshirt material as the lining. I also love the color.

This is as cute as I was hoping! It's sized pretty well. It's warm, but not too heavy. Exactly what I was looking for. It's a super light hue of blue.

Love this coat. It is warm yet lightweight! It fits true to size also.

I absolutely love this coat! It is so warm. The sweatshirt material makes it comfortable while still looking fashionable.
