Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Hi-Pile Fleece Full Zip Jacket

I love the weight and the color. I ordered Dark Marine Blue in a medium. I wondered if I should order a small, but the medium gives me a little shoulder room, which is important to me. It's both warm and pretty. Good job LL Bean!

I'm 5' 120lbs and I almost always by everything in Petite because the sleeves are shorter. THIS SWEATER IS AMAZING. It is so freakin warm and so soft, I'm in love with it. I work in a grocery store and it's the Tundra and I'm so toasty. The pockets on the sides are deep so you don't have to worry about your phone flying out of it and they zipper close! The real bonus is the two inside pockets so if you're carrying a little wallet or something you can put it on the inside pocket for safe keeping. Job well done L.L. Bean!

I got the green and the color is very vibrant, the fit is perfect, and the material is very very soft. Extremely thoughtfully and well made, very warm and cozy!!

This jacket certainly lights up the internet page due to its unique fluffiness. When I tried on the first one I realized that it has the effect of adding pounds to your upper body due to the puffiness. It falls at waist and I wish it fell lower such as pass the hips. That aside, this jacket is so comfortable but I hope that it is resilient and the high pile does not flatten out over time. Oh if only I had a crystal ball! It is very warm and I bought a few as this will definitely will sell out fast.

I fell in love when I saw it. What a beautiful blue!!! It's so soft and comfortable with a feminine cut - not a men's boxy-fit jacket. Petite xs fits perfectly (5'2" 117#). It's still the heat of summer here so I can't comment on it's warmth but it seems to be a nice weight jacket. May need another color!!! Thanks LL Bean!!!

As soon as I put this jacket on, I knew it was a keeper! Most jackets have the high-pile fleece on the outside, but nylon on the inside and they are not warm at all. The high-pile fleece is on the inside as well and is so soft and warm! Perfect for a walk on a chilly autumn day or evening. I ordered the marine blue and the color is beautiful! I see that several colors are already backordered and I do plan to buy another jacket or maybe the pullover version. I highly recommend this jacket! It's a bit pricey, bit I think that it's more than worth the price.

Just as cute as it looks online. The quality is what you would expect at this price point and the construction is practical and sensible. I opted for the jacket version for the ease of layering and taking on/off. For reference, I am 5'8" 145 lbs and the L is comfortably roomy plus the sleeves are just right. I bought 4 colors early when I first saw them online before they ran out- 'nough said.

My Daughter spotted this jacket while we were visiting Freeport this week. Since she already had the sweater fleece, she didn't want to get another jacket but couldn't resist. She likes this jacket so much, she wore it out of the store since it had gotten chilly outside. She loves how soft and cozy it is and is so happy with her new jacket.

Just got this and it's amazingly soft! I got the blue color, which is just gorgeous. I also ordered the grey (on backorder) because I had such high hopes for this, and I'm glad I did. I like to wear a jacket because the air is so cold in my home office, so I have this on right now. Sizing is perfect for me, I have long arms and the sleeves are great. After the grey one gets here, I may have to get a third color.

This new high pile fleece jacket is super soft and snugly. The canyon rose color is really beautiful. I liked both the pullover and jacket styles when I tried them on in the store, but opted for the on-off convenience of the full-zip style. I might get another if a promo comes along. I don't want to rush summer but I am definitely looking forward to wearing this on a chilly fall day!

I like how soft it is and I like the color. But it runs wide. I am 5'4" and 135 lbs and while it is cozy, it also is bulkier than I'd like. For an average size woman as I am, the fit is big, like all of Bean's other jackets and tops which is a little frustrating.

The fleece is soft and nice to the touch. It's thicker to give more warmth. Nice to have three outer and two internal (open) pockets. I found my typical size (small) to be sized more like a medium. For reference I am 5' 4" and 110 lbs.

Really pretty color blue, soft and cozy. Gave it 4 stars because the patches on the arm are dated.

I purchased gingerbread heather and it looks like the pictures. For those of us who have shopped at LLBean for years, we know the sizing has been wildly inconsistent over the past decade or so. I've been a medium since high school, but in recent years, I've ordered many mediums that have been either both way too small or way too big. I ordered a medium in this and it fits well, although slightly on the larger side. I will keep it, because I think the small would be too snug, but I can easily fit another shirt under this one. The only negative is the large nylon elbow patches. They're unnecessary and detract somewhat from the overall look (and annoying because they make noise anytime they rub against something).

I bought one of these a few years ago and loved it! When I reordered recently I knew as soon as I opened the bag and took it out that the weight of the fleece is about 3/4 of the old one. Bean says they have not changed this jacket since it's introduction in 2018.?

I bought one of these a few years ago and the weight was far more substantial than this new one. I like the coat, but is lighter weight than the previous one. I hope this one is as warm, but I have my doubts. Not sure how it will be in really cold temps.

i love this jacket. It is soft and warm and of very good quailty. However, I'm tall and the sleeves are a bit short on me. I have a lot of LLBean fleece and this is the first one I've noticed too short sleeves. It's a shame because otherwise I'd be ordering three or four more of these.

The high pile fluffy fleece is the same on the inside as well as the outside. That makes this jacket about as cuddly as you can get...indoors. I haven't worn it outside since the stretchy fleece isn't all that dense and without an inside lining would need to be worn under something wind/rain/snow resistant. The grey is very distinctly heathered (made up of separate grey and black fibers). The patch pocket material is okay, and what may not be obvious is that there are are also contrasting elbow patches of that same material which I think this jacket can do without. I love wearing it.

Second one now for my wife. It piles a lot when you first get it. After that it does seem to rub off on the seatbelt some. But she loved her first one and wanted another. It isn't exactly thick but she says it is warmer than her winter coat.

Very lightweight. Nice and warm and the next sip of pie if you wanted to. It's like wearing a soft, fuzzy blanket. Wish it was a bit more trendy Looking looking. I have actually purchased it.

I liked this jacket a lot. The description said fitted, so I sized up. I didn't need to! This is the main problem with LLBean. Size consistency. I know I don't like how fitted things are in Bean, so I either don't order or size up.usually, this is correct but more lately I have been wrong. I'm keeping as I can wear a sweater under it.

This is one of the softest fleeces I've tried. I love the rusty red color, love that there is a chest pocket, and love that all the pockets have zippers. Will be beloved for the right person. I ended up returning because the fleece added like 25 pounds to my figure. I have an hourglass shape. The sleeves and length fit but there was tons of extra fabric in the mid section that was not flattering to me.

I liked the fit and the soft fabric. It is actually warmer than I thought.

This fleece is super warm and so soft. The only thing that I don't like about it is that the opening to the pockets is very small. The pocket is plenty big, but the opening is barely bigger than my hand (like it actually scrapes against me) so it's challenging to get things out (and I don't have large hands). I have the men's version as well and I would choose that one over the women's since the pocket openings are more reasonably sized.

If you're looking for warm and toasty, yes, this is the jacket for you. The quality is good, but the sleeves are long for me (I'm 5'3" and should have gotten a petite, methinks). The only other thing that's difficult is that the stand-up collar is difficult to fold back, which I'd like to do when wearing my hair long. It does make for perfect posture, though. (:
