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

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. (:

Love the color, fabric, and fit. The small was perfect, and I'm 5'6" and 118 pounds. I took off the logo patch and elbow patches because I hated them, and I tucked the pocket flap inside. Not fond of extra frou-frou.

Gorgeous color and so soft. The missing star is because it runs large.

This is so comfy and warm. Slightly shorter than I would have liked but overall a great coat!

A bit disappointed that this jacket seems to have been slightly re-designed, hence only 4 stars for an otherwise genius design. I have had one in a regular small and loved that it was so loose around the hips. The elbow patches are awesome for working at a computer and not wearing down your sleeves and it's light as a feather and definitely adds warmth warn over a light sweater. So i wear it all the time working at home. Decided to get a second one in a regular medium for a bit more length, only to find that it is tighter around the hips than the small was! The now tighter elastic trim cuts into my butt at an annoying spot. How can that be? So i tried it in a petite medium, because i find a petite medium is sometimes pretty equivalent to a regular small, but that is too short and still too tight. No more regular smalls left to try in the neutral grey color, in case it's a fluke and i should just go back to a regular small, since the medium is a bit bulky anyway .. except for that bottom elastic! I find that happens often - i like something, and then it gets redesigned. Bummer. Now stuck deciding if i should just return all, or live with the oversized and yet butt-annoying medium as an alternate for when my perfect old one needs laundering.

This is a lovely jacket. It fits perfectly as a small petite. I wish, however, that it was longer as most tops I have are tunic length.

It's appealing to the eye. It's soft to the touch, warm, and versatile.

I bought the large petite and it's roomy and great length for me as I am 5'1 but stocky. The material is so soft and I love the color.

I love everything about this item except that it leaves fuzz on everything. Including anyone who is next to me.

I love how soft and cozy this jacket it. However, it's a little snug in the upper arms. Other than that, the fit is great.

The fleece is super comfy and fits well. It is very cute on. But it sheds something awful even after washes - makes me look like I own a fluffy white dog!

I went up one size to get a little bit longer length it's still fit fine through the sleeves and top it's very comfortable and looks great my only complaint is I wish it had a hood

Warm & lightweight, would buy again. Wish it came in Petite Plus as sleeves a bit long.

I bought two of these in Feb. 2021. I wear them constantly, almost daily and wash them about every 2 weeks (at first I tried to keep them out of the dryer). I have loved these jackets, but I am now looking to replace them after one year because constant use has caused them to lose their softness (now restored briefly only with the use of a clothes dryer) and to have the elastic thread in the cuffs break down and stick out of the cuffs (needing to be trimmed). Knowing this jacket will last me one year or less, it is still worth it to me to buy one, but others may feel differently. A word about size: I would take a 3x in sweaters in LL Bean, but a 3x in this jacket was too big; a 2x fit well.

Super cozy, soft on skin. A big boxy in the body fit - I got my usual size L, but probably could have fit into the medium. Love the color - I can't stand when women's stuff is only pink/purple/aqua!! We want earth tones, llbean!

I liked the overall style of the jacket and the gray color. Would have loved it if the zip pocket which was a little larger for the phone. I purchased XS which was a good fit except for the hip area where it was a little wide to call it a perfect fit. I decided it was a keeper because it's so warm and comfy,

Would have liked if it was available in a 2xl or plus size It's fits but i would like it a little looser
