Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Puffer Jacket Color-Block

I bought this jacket for my son's girlfriend and she loved it. It looked super cute on her and it was a good weight for what we were looking for. Unfortunately, the seams on both shoulders started to come undone after one month of wear. I wanted to return it but by the time I found out about the seams, the color that she liked was out of stock. This jacket would have been perfect if it had held up. Hopefully it was just a fluke on this one jacket and not the case for others.

The coat was pretty and looked exactly like it said but it was so small. I can usually wear a 1x or a 2x with a sweater underneath. I got a 2x and couldn't even zip it.

I saw this in the catalogue and mentioned to my husband that it reminded me of a ski parka that I'd had as a kid that I really loved. He bought it for me as a Christmas surprise. I didn't expect it to be so thin, not really a "puffer" jacket IMO. But - I still like it. It is so retro as others have said. I'm in California so it's a great light jacket for the warmer winter, fall & spring days and the color block is just right. It fits well and is warmer than it looks.

I love the colors of this coat so much, however the fit isn't right. I ordered my usual size, it was fairly roomy throughout but the chest was so tight and I'm small chested to begin with. I returned for another style.

Nice jacket but I found it not up to LL Bean quality Also stock of colors off very thin. Would need to wait three months to get color wanted

Cute colors but the fit was too relaxed for me. Arms were very wide from the shoulder to elbow. Not very form fitting. I expected a more sporty fit.

This fits very boxy. I was hoping it would be more form-fitting.

I really like the colors and the retro look! I am 5'1" and 115 lbs. and the Petite S was way too big. Petite XS is still a little wide on me. What I would love to see: Zippered side pockets (rather than snaps) and inside pockets! The actual side pockets are a little small for my cell phone and wallet, and I don't trust the snaps to keep everything in.

I loved the fit and feel of the jacket. Unfortunately, I just didn't like the look of the color blocking on me, so I returned it. I'll wait for a solid color to go on sale.

Very cute but too lightweight- more like a windbreaker than a puffer

It's a nice jacket....but a little too light-weight to be labeled as a "puffer"; there is really nothing puffy about it. I do like the colors and the retro vibe, but I think it's way too pricey, for what it's is. I also am becoming very disappointed in LLBean after being a loyal customer of over 40 years. Seems almost all of their merchandise is imported; unlike the "Made in USA" that they have prided themselves on since 1912. I hope that one day LLBean will revisit their mission.

For a plus size jacket, the arms don't seem to match. They are too tight which isn't consistent with the sizing of 2x. My size is between a 1x and 2x, and my arms aren't abnormally big for my size. The coat itself is very good looking.

The jacket was ill-fitting - at first I thought they may have shipped a "tall." Ordered the same size in petite and the length of the torso and sleeves is much better. I'm not crazy about how the wrists are finished and for the price I think it should have zippered pockets (or an internal pocket at least), but this color scheme is so rare among women's clothes that I'll keep it nonetheless.

Nice colors, good fit but a bit thin, does not keep me warm. Not good enough for cold weather.

I found that the jacket ran small and ended up giving it to my daughter rather than sending it back

Arms are too tight. Otherwise very comfortable and lightweight while still being warm. Super cute colors. Pockets are capacious and have a handy snap to keep things from falling out. The arms are just insanely tight though.

The jacket is not very warm. It is more for Fall if you live in a place where winter is snowy. It runs small. The color does not look like the picture. It is a different green.

Loved the jacket, could not handle the "badge" emblem on my left chest. I don't like any manufacturer that places their logo in such an obvious place. I am fine with logos on the hem or the sleeve, but I do not appreciate blaring advertising. I thought I might be able to overlook the logo, but it is all I see. Had to send jacket back.

I love the colors and style and it seems to be that perfect transition weight for late-winter/early spring and fall in the north Midwest when days go from 50s to 20s. Personally, it's far from perfect, though. Most notable is no interior pocket and the exterior pockets are secured by a single snap (that seems at risk of quickly tearing from the coat shell). If there was at least one interior packet and the exterior pockets had zippers, the coat would be 5 stars. Seems to run true to size in shoulders, but large in the waist/around the middle.

This is a great jacket, however I really don't understand LL BEAN not putting zippers on the pockets, or at least an inside zipper pocket for a cellphone or small wallet. I'll keep it, but I may find a seamstress to add zippers.

I was so excited about getting this jacket! It fit very well except it was way too long around the bottom. It went past my hips and it was very unflattering. If this jacket had a cinch around the bottom, I would have given it more stars. If you are tall enough, this jacket would be great, but for us shorter ladies that have extra love on their bodies, I would pass on this jacket.

Returned- my old jacket is still much warmer than this one.

I bought a colorblock puffer jacket a couple years ago and I adore the colors. I have on several occasions almost purchased additional jackets in other colorblock and solid colors, but stopped myself becuase there is no secure location for a phone, wallet, etc. For the price they should really offer that feature. My preference would be zipped outer pockets but I would settle for a reliable (well sewn, deep, rectangular) pocket on the inside. Such a miss. I'd otherwise have 4-5 of these jackets I'm sure! I"m not crazy about how the sleeves are finished but I could easily overlook that with pockets. (It wasn't an option but I bought M PETITE)

The description said light weight but warm. It is light weight, but it is not warm. This jacket is something I can only use in the early fall or spring months. I am extremely disappointed in the quality of the material.

I was hoping this would replace my heavy winter coat but...it is very short (falls to above the hip line) and very tight in the arms! There are no pockets except for the pockets on the side. I am returning this. It needs to be made to go to bottom of hip and add some room in the arms. Also, I almost forgot! I can't stand the finish they use for the sleeves!! A tacky row of sewn on fabric. This could be a great coat with some fixes!
