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

I liked the weight of the jacket but it was much too tight in the hips. Generally a large fits me well but the sizing on this jacket seems to be very skimpy.

Great jacket for spring and fall. The cozy lining around the neckline is a plus!

I tested this jacket in severe mid season conditions during my trip to Central Russia. With an extra layer underneath it kept me warm at temperatures just above 30F while also looking stylish, the fleece lining would be better all over the inside and not just back and sides.

The jacket was nice but too tight. I ordered a petite, which usually fits me well. It was too tight across the shoulders -- I couldn't have worn anything thicker than a T-shirt under it. I sent it back.

The quality of the jacket was excellent. However, It was too fitted for me.

Exactly what I was looking for! It's lightweight and flattering. Works for temperatures in the 40s-50s. I don't understand how people are using this as a winter coat. Under it I wear a long-sleeve cotton shirt and often a 2nd layer while walking on a trail or doing light yard work. In winter I plan to use it as a midlayer - the fit is slim and it will layer well under my heavy coat (I'm in NY). My only complaint is there are no pockets for holding things! The only pockets are the front two, where I put my hands. I walk a lot and want to carry keys, ID, and phone. Huge oversight. If you're familiar with LLBean clothes, the cut of this is identical to the Luxe Fleece. I hope it stands up to many washings and continues to look this gorgeous; the dark blue is rich yet simple/understated. I recommend it.

The jacket fits more snugly than I had expected. I can't wear a fleece jacket under it, unless it is very fitted. I had hoped this could be my winter jacket, here in central Virginia, but it is not at all warm. I can comfortably wear it when it is 60 degrees out. It might be ok down to 40 if I have a warm layer under it. I kept it because it really looks good, but I was a little disappointed

Really this is a great jacket. Good lightweight, with what I think would be warm in the colder months. My issue was the large was pretty large, although I intentionally ordered that size for possible layering with the vest, when needed. What I don't like is the color choices. First I ordered the spruce green, because in the pictures it looked more tealish. I cannot stand green, so it went back as it is very green. Then I ordered the lavender, which I have in the vest and love the color and wear almost every day. The jacket in the lavender went back also because it washed me out..just too much of that light color. If some more colors were offered, like a brighter blue,or berry, or even hot pink or black, I'd buy this happily. It really is a super jacket and I was sad neither color turned me on.

Comfortable, fits well.

This jacket is nice, but it is boxy and does not have a shaped fit. I returned the jacket.

Not a winter coat to thin ,but makes as a nice fall weather coat ,and the picture showed a brighter pink this coat is more of a raspberry yogurt color .But all in all not bad

I haven't really worn it yet. It looks and feels great. Color in a nice black and material feels very soft and comfortable.

The good - comfortable, lightweight, great color The bad- runs small, buy a size up The pretty - great color and styling

Was disappointed that the style of the side panels was changed. The previous version I have had for years and the material in the side panels is softer and conforms better to your body. Much more comfortable.

Seems well made but a very light jacket and not for wintertime. Expensive for what you get.

I bought this jacket but am returning it. It is fleece lined only on the back, the front, and the collar. It is Not fleece lined on the side panels (which are not shown in any of the pictures). It is NOT fleece lined in the sleeves.

We like the jacket, but the zipper is not stable, opening on its own at the bottom.

Runs small. I brought a plus size and it was still one size small and the sleeves were a little short. Positive feedback is brown color was beautiful and fleece inside warm. Good zipper and price.

This is listed as a cold weather jacket. My opinion, it is not suitable for cold weather. Early Fall at best. Not well insulated. Not very plush inside. Early Fall, late Spring. I have polar fleece jackets warmer than this. Sleeves are not warm at all. Glorified wind breaker at best. Ordered large and returned because you would have to wear a tee shirt under it.

Soft lining but no hood. This year we gave lots of rain.

Runs very small in the body and the sleeves are cut very narrow, but long. 2x usually fits me well. In this coat there was a 3-4 inch zipper gap. The sleeves looked as if I had painted them on. Light weight jacket. Fine for 30 degree weather with a sweater or fleece underneath. Below 30 or windy wear a better insulated coat.

Bought this to replace a very similar jacket from Bean that I must've had 20 years. Purchased PETITE large because I want it to be able to fit over a turtleneck and a fleece top or sweater. Love the back being a little longer than the front to cover more and provide more warmth, yet still be a shorter length jacket for times you need a light jacket. Jacket is very similar to the one I used to have, except for the sleeves. They have elastic at the wrist, but the jacket arm from the wrist to half way up to the elbow appears puffy, like it's purposely wider in the forearm area than necessary. Almost a teardrop effect that looks funny on a jacket. The photos make it appear as if the sleeves are straight with no additional flare at the end by the wrist before the elastic wristband. I don't like the way it looks, but overall like the jacket so am keeping because I really loved the Bean jacket it's replacing.

This is a nice jacket, but the "slightly fitted" made it such that it did not fit me well. I returned it.

Ordered a medium and it fit except in the chest area so had to return.

I like the one that is not fleece lined. Much better. It's nice but the other one is so light i absolutely love it. Think I ordered this by mistake but threw out the box so couldn't return
