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

Advertising is TOO WOKE how about not shoving your woke views down everyone's throat.

I love much about this jacket. It is well-made, warmer than fleece (and fits more snuggly than fleece), and the tall means the sleeves are long enough for my arms. I hate that the collar won't fold down and it pushes my hair up in back, and rubs against my jaw-very irritating. I sewed the back of the collar down which helped, but the corners of the front curl up and still rub my jaw. I finally sewed some snaps to hold them down and also allow me to unsnap if I zip the jacket all the way up. I think I'll be much happier with it now, but making a collar that folds down would have been much easier. Somewhere between love and hate, I wish the zipper was 2-way so the jacket wouldn't bunch up when I am seated. I like the zip-close pockets. This will be my go-to travel jacket.

Loved the shape and texture of the fabric, but it runs small. Had to return for a larger size.

one of my favorite colors. I am a bit surprised at how tight this sweater was. I have bought many sweaters from you, this one needs to be listed as fits smaller than your regular sweaters

This would be a 5 star, but the pocket zipper separated the second time I wore it. It's a warm and cozy sweater and the neck doesn't itch (I was afraid it would). It's perfect for winters in Tucson.

This is a very warm sweatshirt. I ended up returning it because it is very thick - more of a jacket. I wanted something lighter weight that I could layer. This seemed a bit too heavy for me. I love the color and that it is a bit longer to cover the hips, but just not quite what I was looking for. Very easy return process!

Wonderful warm jacket. I have several in different colors. There is one problem with many of these jackets, and that is the lining of the pockets are in a different color from the jacket. These are front pockets so show when the jacket is not zipped up. PLEASE match the pocket lining material to the jacket! It would make the jacket much more dressy and something we could wear for any occasion.

I love this warm, soft fleece on a cold day. The only drawback is that on the beautiful blue fleece they used white fabric for the pockets. So when the zippers on the pockets are open, for the front zipper is open, white lining shows and it looks odd. If not for that design flaw, I'd give this 5 stars. Probably less noticeable on the light colors.

I love the blue color of this jacket. I felt the sleeves were a little on the short side. I am 5' 8" and wear a small.

A bit heavier fabric than I would have liked, but decided to keep it anyway to wear on colder days.

I bought an earlier version of this jacket a year or so ago in 3 colors, and it is literally part of my daily "uniform" throughout three Vermont seasons. I wanted to replace one of them, but was disappointed to see that they have eliminated the hood, which I found so helpful when just running outside on a cold or rainy day. I would have given it 5 stars with the hood. However, this is the best jacket ever--well-made, well-fitting, flattering, and extremely practical with the zippered outside pockets. It's nicer than a sweatshirt, but as comfortable and useful. I wear it everywhere and constantly.

Very nicely made and well fitted jacket. Unfortunately its appearance is adversely affected by the Bean logo sewed to the front of it. Bean's increasing use of its logo in this manner on so many different clothes amounts to free advertisement at the expense of their customer. In no case does it enhance the appearance of the garment. I carefully removed the logo and made my wife's jacket look like the quality item that it is.

I love it. I originally ordered a size small as recommended by true fit but it was too big. Reordered an extra small and it fits perfect. Soft and cozy

I like the color and lighter edge binding. But it seems smaller, less substantial and a less flattering style fit than another Bean sweater fleece I ordered. I wish the dropped back edge wasn't so long.

Large was tight xl was too big and flared out but very comfortable and warm.

I love that the jacket is a tall size. I was hoping it would be warmer but it's a nice weight.

Nice warm jacket, and well made, but just did not like style on me, so it was returned. Also wish logo was not so visible, maybe on lower edge of jacket.

Loved the sweater, comfy. It does start pilling in the sleeves after a couple weeks of wear. Also, the zipper of one of the pockets isn't working - one of the sides dethatched.

Sweater is wonderful. the pockets are not lined with the same material so they stick out because they are white!

Quality and style very nice. The garment ran small for me

Glad I ordered up a size. It is a fitted style and I needed that little bit extra waist room. I'm loving the color Blue, and hoping it doesn't pill. This one is a perfect length for me but the petite size is a bit short in the arm length. Very warm but could really use longer arms in petite medium sizing on my 132 lbs, 34D torso.

The jacket looks nice and is warm. I purchased the tall version which gave me much-appreciated and needed length in the sleeves and body. The zipper pockets are well-placed and roomy. My only reservation about this jacket is the white lining on the pockets; a darker color would look better. I would actually rate 4.5 if I could. It would be a 5 except for the pockets.

Per LLBean, excellent construction, wonderfully warm, but the sleeves are a little narrow. Older ladies might find it snug.

Great price for a product compared to similar brands. It has 2 inside pockets as well which is convenient. I bought petite size but it still felt a bit long. It did shrink a little after washing (even though I air dried it). It keeps me warm.

Purchased the fleece zip-jacket in the Mallard Blue, in a medium and a large to compare fit. Loved the color. I am 5' 6", 128 lbs. The large fits slightly better across the chest, which allows room for a sweatshirt or sweater. Overall, the jacket is quite nice and a nice weight for Florida winters. I gave a 4-star rating due to the poor placement of the LL Bean logo at the chest. Takes away from the look of the jacket.
