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

Nice jacket, pretty color. I am a slender 5'6", 125 pounds. Bought this same item two years ago in a small and found it too tight in the arms so this time I bought it in a medium and now it doesn't fit around the middle, too bad it doesn't have a draw-string around the middle. I still like it because I can layer other things under it. The fabric is nice, kind of like a sweater. The color is a very bright blue.

It is a great jacket: soft, comfortable, flattering fit. It is constructed well. The bright blue color is beautiful. What ruins it all is the glaring white fabric of the pockets lining. It is so incongruous and so out of character with the rest of the jacket, it makes me cringe. True, you cannot see the lining when the jacket is zipped, but it is still there, and it flashes its ridiculous white when the jacket is open.

This is my 2nd sweater fleece jacket. The light gray heathered has a darker gray pocket lining. The blue has a cream which is very noticeable but not in a good way. Disappointed that the pocket color is mismatched.

Lovely color and fit. The only thing I would improve about this jacket is the inside pockets. The color of the inside pockets should match the jacket (blue) instead of being white.

Excellent quality. Seemed very warm and of sturdy fabric. I had to return mine because I had purposely ordered a tall but it turned out to be longer in the sleeves and at the neck than I actually needed. (Am between regular and tall) Otherwise it was SO perfect and I loved the blue. Would have preferred if the pockets had been lined in black rather than white.

Nice fleece and I liked the muted purple color. Unfortunately the sleeves were too tight to wear over a long sleeve shirt. For that reason, I returned it.

Wasn't sure about keeping this because it runs a little big. Will use as a "jacket" and wear something heavier under it.

It fits pretty well. I have to go a size bigger often with LLBean. The sleeves on your clothes, men's and women's are often too tight!!

I originally ordered a m/t in this jacket because at 5'8" many llbean items run short on me. I found that not to be the case with this jacket and returned it for a regular. Love the quality and lt. grey color. Only downside is that it could be a little softer on the inside against bare skin.

I couldn't find the right fit. Tried regular and petite but neither fit well. It seemed well constructed and I liked the fabric.

I bought this jacket for the spring. I got the blue color which is lovely. The fit is a smidge big, I got to wear over tee shirts or long sleeve tops but I could definitely wear a sweater underneath. I knocked of one star because I think $90 is a little high for what it is.. we'll see how it holds up over time

This is a warm, comfortable jacket that looks and feels great. The color is exactly as pictured and very nice. The quality and fit are excellent. One problem that drives me crazy- the pockets are lined with a nice thin strong fabric but it's white! I use the pockets constantly so I don't want to keep them zippered. They gap open and show this glaring white lining which really takes away from the look. I don't know if other colors have the same thing.

Warm, but a little stiff to wear all day. I don't reach for this one all the time, but I do like it. It's the right size, but I feel as if I can't move my arms the way I want to.

This is a warm, comfortable jacket that I now have in a second color. I have both the aqua (teal?) and arctic blue. I reach for these when it's really cold. I normally wear size M but got these in L because the M seemed a little snug for wearing over a quarter zip top, which I mostly wear in winter here in the Northeast. I really like the contrast color trim on the blue but downgraded one star because the pockets in that one are lined in white which really shows when they are unzipped. The aqua pockets are lined in gray, which doesn't stand out as much. Same color pocket linings would have been better. This has a nice long length in the body to add to its warmth, without looking or feeling like a tunic. I'm pleased with these.

Collar comes up a little too high, but full zip is great and it has two nice pockets that I love

Not necessarily the best in class garment, but a very good value and a trusted brand.

Great winter sweater, but could be a tad longer to look better with form fitting pants. Super quality that isn't found in most clothing in retail stores. Absolutely higher quality than most sweaters sold online that are thin and need to be thrown out after a years use.

Super cute but ran quite large. Because it's so big it looks bulky and frumpier than i would like.

I bought one in purple and arctic blue...both lovely. They're a bit large. Long over my shoulders and not as form fitting as I like. I kept one and will return the other.

Great color/heather appearance. It feels a little stiff to be a sweater; certainly more of a jacket appearance and feel. I like the elasticized sleeve cuffs and zip up to throat warmth of the collar.

This is the second sweater fleece I've purchased in Tall Medium: the first was last year in Faded Eggplant (not a favorite color but best alternative offered in Tall sizes); this winter season the Arctic Blue was offered in Tall and I went of it. The fit is good; it's not wide in the body. Sleeve and body length are good and back dips down a bit which I like. The zipper pockets are a plus. And it's warm, layered over turtle neck or long sleeve tee. Gave it 4 stars as I would have preferred a solid color rather then the heather-y colors.

Color, availability in tall, material all super. The garment is labeled sweater and jacket- I'm would consider it mainly an outdoor jacket because it is bulky. Would love to see a less bulky version of it for an indoor sweater. I appreciate these Tall size options.

I gave this a 4 star because of the fit. It was too snug. Maybe someone with a smaller waist than myself would be comfortable wearing this. The fabric was really nice and soft. I liked having the little zip pocket on the sleeve. You could fit your keys and some identification in it while out for a jog, or a walk.

The sweater fleece was probably a 5 but only tried it on and never wore it. This blue and the color in the were not the blue I received. Would have kept it if this was the actual color.
