Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Bean's Sweater Fleece Full Zip Jacket

I haven't worn this out yet (still 90 degrees in my area :) ), but it is so soft and very comfortable. I bought a size medium so I could layer (my arms are also a tad longer than most, and I wanted to make sure the sleeve length fit), and it fits great without being too bulky. For reference, I'm 140 lbs. I'm very impressed with the quality and overall feel, and can't wait for fall and winter!

The fit runs a little large, but I like that. The material otherwise is soft and warm. It wears nicely. It is not good at wind blocking, but works as an under layer. I would definitely recommend. It gets a 4-star because of the interior of the sleeves. They are not lined and it makes getting it on over a long sleeve shirt difficult. Not a deal breaker, but annoying.

This jacket is beautifully made. I especially like the fact that it's a little longer in the back for when you sit down! I love it, but I couldn't give it all five stars because the inside is rather a dense somewhat fuzzy fleece and makes it difficult to put the jacket on and off if you are wearing a sweater or anything other than a very smooth garment. I'm hoping that once it is washed, it will settle down a bit inside.

Petite XS fits well, but the collar is stiff on one side where zipper ends and doesn't lay flat when not zipped all the way up.

Overall this is a very nice sweater jacket. My only problem is the collar is too stiff and difficult to lay flat. Hopefully it will soften over time.

Unfortunately, my skin tone didn't work with any color except Pewter. I was hoping to find a toasted almond, or something more classic. I dislike pastels, too everywhere.

I thought that the sweater was just as described in the webpage, and confirmed with the person that helped me over the phone. The color was very close to the picture.

I do love the fleece jacket. Just right warm factor. Can see it lasting me a very long time.

Beautiful color and exceptional warmth. I just wish it had a straighter cut to allow for greater ease of movement when fully zipped up.

Good fleece jacket for women, the purple color wasn't as strong as I'd hoped. It looks more like a grey jacket with a slight purple tint, and light purple piping.

Nice quality, and arrived on time----unfortunately my Spouse hated it because was not long enough to cover her rear. She will pick something else with the merchandise credit, although she has said, "after 45 years you should know what I like......"

Nice warm sweater fleece. Runs a little large; I exchanged a med size for sm and it was still too large.

I ordered this jacket in Regular Medium. It was well made and overall fit was good with the exception of sleeves being too short. I returned it.

This is my second L.L. Bean Sweater Fleece - thick and cozy and respectable enough for going out and about town.

I like the soft fabric and the warmth. I did not keep the sweater because it was just too snug. I would have liked a little bit looser fit--not baggy, just not so snug.

It's warmer than mountainside (which is not as warm as mountain classic, in my opinion!). I love the slightly roomier cut at the belly section than a brand that's known better in my area. Nice color too. However, the threads are shown to be loose. This is only day 4 of my wearing. I believe I received the USED piece. The tag was nowhere. The curf liners and under-arm area have shown pills. Minor but definitely not a new look.

I bought one of these jackets a few years ago. I decided I wanted one in a different color. Same quality and fit like the previous jacket. I have been very disappoint with LL Bean products lately, but this jacket works for me. Glad to know some of their products are still good quality. It is very hard to find petite sizes so I am happy with my purchase.

The sweater is well made and has 3 zippered pockets. Unfortunately for me, too tight through my broad shoulders. Regardless, I would recommend this sweater.

It is warm and good looking, you can wear it casually or even for a formal meeting.

I own a sweater fleece in a size medium and it fits perfectly which I purchased about 4 years ago. I wanted a second but the medium sizing was off. The fit appeared tighter in all medium-sized sweaters. The large was way to big.

Warm, soft on inside. I like the dark lining to pockets for when I wear it open. But, this pretty glacier blue on their website is not the same as the color of the product. It is more of a teal-blue. Disappointed in color. I wish they would bring back the original sapphire blue and have the seams blend with the color of the jacket, instead of having a contrasting color tone.

I assumed from the description that this jacket would be the same weight as two sweatshirt-like full-zip jackets I bought six months ago, which I love and wear throughout our Gulf Coast winter. So excited to see the lavender color. Unfortunately this is a too heavy weight for me. Sadly sent it back. Two stars, because of the unclear weight description.

Nice sweater jacket for cool fall days and layering. I'm 5'8 and 185, ordered the xl tall, wanted it to come to my hips. Length is just right, fits good other than the sleeves are very long.

Great quality but should have ordered 1X instead of an XL for more space and comfort.

Annoying collar. Can't wear makeup because the zipper makes it almost impossible to turn down the collar so it gets covered in foundation. Sticks up into chin and is just uncomfortable. Love color and fabrics and everything else but the collar.
