Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Fleece-Lined Primaloft Vest

Warm and quality item

Vest is perfect Lined just enough to keep the wind at bay. It's light enough that I'm not hot. The zipper pockets are the right size for iPhone etc. the back also falls below the waist but not too long. The collar is soft and doesn't rub my neck. Perfect

Love the light weight fleece lining. So soft. The collar lays flat when I want it to lay flat. Thank you for that. I hate things rubbing my neck. The vest has side stretch panels which I also appreciate. This vest is dressier than the regular Primaloft vest and the fitness vest. BUT, you have sold out of everything in my size!. Please bring this back and bring it back in more fashionable colors. I wanted to buy another one or two, but there is nothing but the burgundy red which is a horrible color for me.

I purchased this in black and still waiting for the pink one coming next month. I usually wear a medium but went with a large so I could comfortably wear a sweater or sweatshirt underneath and my plan worked. Loved that it's slightly fitted and pockets are perfect too.

I tried on this vest at the store in Freeport this past summer but didn't buy it because I really did not need another vest like this. Over several months I kept thinking how nice it was and how it looked so much more stylish than the other ones I have. So I finally bought it, and it continues to live up to the hype. I love the slim cut. It's super cute and stylish, and also nice and cozy and functional. The XS is quite form fitting on me, but definitely not tight. I can easily where a medium weight sweater under it.

very comfortable and soft. great color

The vest is as pictured and the color ordered is excellant. It is lightweight yet quite warm. The length is perfect and the zipper performs well. I recommend this LLBean fleece-lined vest. I may order another one in a different color.

I am very pleased with this vest. I ordered the vintage lavender, which works as a neutral for me. I especially like the way the collar iies flat if I don't zip it all the way up. I have recently upsized from a medium to a large owing to a shoulder problem that makes puling tops on and off difficult. I was happy not to be "swimming" in it.

I have been wearing my vest daily, and love it. I'm glad I made the purchase. It is a great fit and comfy

I usually wear small but got a medium, which was a great idea. It is a nice vest, not too puffy, zippered pockets are excellent. Quality material and nicely made. Buy this for yourself!

This vest is HEAVEN. I ordered this and the regular Primaloft vest and found this one much more flattering and cozy. I love the fleece lining on the neck because it not only is soft to my face, but it washes nicely and hides makeup smudges better than the Primaloft. The fit in the waist is more flattering than the Primaloft; that one had a lot of extra room in the hips and seemed to be cut with a higher waist. I like this one so much I'm going to order another color to replace the Primaloft one I will return. I love how I can layer this over the LL Bean henleys or Pima turtle/cowl necks and be comfortable, warm and stylish. And, with broad shoulders, the vest is the perfect way to add warmth without constriction. LOVE!

Vest is warm and fits nicely. Large pockets are easy to access and hold my cell phone! Zippers are easy to zip. Best part is the soft collar and general over-all coziness of the vest. I'm really glad I bought it!

I love this vest!! So much so after I received my first one in the lavender, I ordered the carbon navy (which is a very dark almost black color). I wanted a primaloft vest and had looked everywhere in stores, with no luck. Since I am so short, they give me coverage over my butt and hips, which I was after. They are sleek and flattering. I got the large so I could layer up as I am a walker, and do agility with 2 of my dogs, as well a peel off layers when needed. Couldn't be more pleased with these!! The large isn't really what I would consider "large". By itself, it fits fine over a long sleeve tee.

As soon as I saw this vest, I knew that I had to get one. It didn't disappoint. It's pretty, practical, feminine, versatile, and roomy enough to wear a winter-weight sweater underneath. The only "problem" that I encountered was choosing among all the nice colors. I finally settled on the vintage lavender, which is even lovelier than it appears online.

I love the vintage lavender color, and the styling/seam lines. It's not bulky, which is exactly what I was looking for in this vest. The fleece lining is soft, but it's not quite as plush or warm as I imagined. I'm comparing it to an LL Bean "Women's Fleece-Lined Fitness Vest" that I got a few years ago - I stretched the "fitness vest" out while pregnant and wanted a new vest to replace it. But I do think this vest is more polished looking and has higher quality thread on the top quilting than the "fitnesses vest." Overall, I like them both a lot!

This vest was a gift for my little heavy set daughter. It was a little difficult in getting her a vest that would fit true to her size. She loved it, it fit perfect, even when she zipped it all the way up.

This vest is perfect! Length is to top of hips which I prefer for an outerwear layer. The inside fleece lining is soft. I do wish it had an interior pocket like my LLBean vest from many years ago. The purple color is almost a soft pinkish/purple. I will get a lot of wear of this for years to come.

This is a handsome vest. It's light and warm. Love the soft fleece lining. I will not be taking this vest off!

This would have been perfect if it had been more of a winter (darker purple color) than a Spring.

I love the color. The vest is very well made. It would have 5 stars if the cut was a little more roomy in the hips.

Warmth is truly this vest and yet the color is a great accent to many accessories.

Great colors, outer and lining, and styling.. the collar is just a little too high when fully zipped.

I really wanted to love this vest. It's an updated version of one I bought around ten years ago. I liked the vest except that it doesn't have a two-way zipper. That was a deal breaker and why I only gave it 4 stars. My old one does have a two-way zipper.

As another reviewer wrote, this vest runs a little smaller (in the Plus sizes). I usually wear an XL in Bean's jackets and vests. I sized up so I could layer underneath (from an XL to a size 1X) and it is snug. I can comfortably zip it with light layers but it won't fit a heavy sweatshirt or sweater layer. I bought Navy, a very nice color that certainly flatters the figure.

I don't usually write reviews. I love LLBean for outerwear, and have many jackets, vests, pullovers etc The pricing increase on this vest was a bit of a downer, especially after paying $120.00 for it, and then upon receiving the vest, it's still tagged @ $99.00 liked they used to be for a long time. I understand some increases I guess, but at least take the time to retag your inventory? I don't know maybe that's just me.
