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

Nice vest, but runs a bit small. I usually wear a XS in fleece jackets and bought this in a S. Fortunately it fits, but you couldn't wear something very heavy under. Wish the collar was a bit lower.

Vest was well made but not as heavy as I expected. Size was accurate

The weight, the color, the fabrics, the pockets are all perfect. The collar is too deep.

I bought a medium based on reviews and it was too big in the hips. I had to return/exchange for small which fit perfectly. That is my usual size.

This vest is nice, exactly as pictured. I found it runs a bit small, compared to other vests in the same size. I tried it on with a thin flannel and it was tighter in the mid section. I have another puffer vest different style but same size that I wear with a slightly thicker flannel-plenty of room.

I usually wore Medium from LL Bean but the size of this vest ran smaller than the other so I had to return it to exchange for Large.

Great vest for cool weather. Needs to zip up from the bottom. Falls enough below the waist that I have to unzip while driving or sitting

Love the fit, weight and warmth. I gave it 4 stars bc when the collar is folded down, the lighter blue fleece against the navy blue outer material, looks a little awkward and devalues the look of the otherwise nice-looking cest.

I had almost all the colors of the previous version of this vest. I LOVE those vests. They must be discontinued. They were more lightweight with more stretch, different lining and inside pockets which was a biggie for me. I didn't have to carry a purse. This new one has a different lining, smaller arm holes and no inside pockets.

I ordered an X-Large . It is beautiful.Loved it . But did not fit around hips and no stretch on that area. I normally take a L or XL.The white is lovely. I am giving it to n daughter.

This is nice vest for spring/fall/early winter. It's thin, but warm. I'm 5'2", my weight is 200 lbs. I texted customer support for the garment measurements for this vest...I wanted to avoid a return. It was determined that I should order a Plus 1X, so I did. I purchased a 1X in Mineral Blue and it fits me perfectly. The color is very nice. The zipper works very well, and the neck can be worn up or folded down (and it stays down), The outer on-seam pockets are unlined and have zippers. The things I wish this vest had: 1. At least one inner pocket. 2. Flannel-lined pockets. 3.That the color of the flannel lining-which includes the neck area-matched the color of the vest. The Mineral Blue vest has a white inner lining/neck lining. Some of the other vests have flannel linings that match the vest color, or are very close. Despite the things that are lacking, this is a nice vest for cool weather.

Nice vest for the price. I like the fit on the sides. It does run a little small. The lining seems nice and the emblem is stitched in thread. The collar seemed stiff and uncomfortable on my neck and chin. I'm 5'5" & 122 pounds. The small was a bit snug with a fleece or flannel shirt underneath. I returned it.

Stylish and warm but I am a true short waisted petite at 5'1" so it runs long on me. If this vest had a two-way zipper, it would get 5 stars.

Great easy way to stay warm. This is especially useful for quick transfers from one warm spot to another. I just wish it was larger at the bottom. It's tight with a light layer underneath.

Beautiful, strong fabric. Perfect for layering. Very disappointed that this vest no longer has inside pockets. Those pockets made it possible for me to not have to have a purse.

It's great, The fit the feel and the quality. I only have one criticism, I wish the pockets were lined with the same fabric the collar is.

Vest is nicely made and fits well, but I returned it because it has no interior pockets, something I consider a LLB mainstay. Also, the heavy lining is unnecessary.

I've ordered this vest for many years but I am very disappointed that it no longer has the two inside pockets. These pockets made it possible to not need a purse because they held my phone, small calendar, pen and credit cards.The former vest had both a great look and utility.

I like this vest -- It is a beautiful color, and well made. The only thing I would add is an inside pocket (or two or three), and a secure cord to snap my keys on to in one of those pockets. Make it a travel vest!

Gave it a 4-star because it is really very lovely! Unfortunately for me it ran way too tight in the hips, and too short.

Beautiful vest with a very cool toned rose/lavender color. Unfortunately a bit too long to be flattering and I purchased the same vest in a petite size from another store. At 5'5" it doesn't seem like one should need a petite sized vest, but the petite sized really looks better on me. Only the 4 stars because it was too long for personal taste.

Light weight, nice color, runs small. I ordered XL but will wear open.

Fits well and looks good but I wish it didn't have the LL Bean logo on the front.

I ordered a size medium, I'm 5 foot nine and 145 pounds. It is warm, Great for weather above 40. I wear it outside walking. Roomy enough for sweatshirt under. Would be nice to have an inside pocket

Sizes run very small. The vest is warm and comfortable. It is well made. I just had to go up 2 sizes.
