Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Bean's Sweater Fleece Long Vest

Been looking for a longer line fleece vest for at least 3 years. I'm 5'-11" so length is important

I love the longer length and the medium weight fabric. Perfect for fall with a lightweight shirt underneath!

This is a very nice, cozy vest in a lovely grey. Yes, it does run a little large, especially in the tummy area, just like the t-shirts I got from LL Bean. I guess we are making most clothes for overweight people these days. I do like the length for keeping me warm on a hike. It does bunch up when you sit down. On the whole I am very happy with this vest.

Warm and fits nice , good neutral color . Comfortable

I love this vest! Being a Coloradan with regular winter experience, I had two fleece vests already (one from working as a ski instructor). However, I wanted another that was longer in the torso to keep my lower back warm and also to have more than just two pockets. This one has three zippered pockets, and one can also use the opposite side of the hand pockets for small things - like a ziploc of dog treats or a trail map. It's also a denser fleece than my other vests, and is perfect for not-quite-parka weather. I ordered a large so as to have room underneath for a sweater; a medium would have likely sufficed, but even the large isn't too large. Usually, I wear a size ten. This was a marvelous purchase and looks like it'll last for years.

Convenient extra warmth that looks acceptable in work zoom meetings

I loved this product. It is long which I prefer. And a bit fitted which I also like. Very flattering.

This vest is longer so it nicely covers my backside. Good thickness for layering. Patch looks stylish.

This is southern California, and as soon as I order something like this, the temperatures go to the 90s! But I am looking forward to wearing this for exercising or running errands; I love the fit and the faded eggplant color. I don't think it's mentioned in the description, but in the interior by the hem on each side of the zipper is an open pocket -- a phone is likely too heavy, but I might put a card case in there.

I originally ordered this in small, but I found it too big in the hips. The x-small fit much better. I am 5' 6," 125 lbs, with 35" hips.Additionally, the fabric and color are fine, and I like the pocket size and placement.

I wore this on a recent cruise to Alaska and was super comfortable with just this bit of extra warmth. My husband, a former garment industry rep, kept saying how much he really liked that vest. Guess I should've bought the other color!

This very is wonderful. It's very well made and attractive. I like the longer length for warmth yet still has shape and is flattering.

Best vest I have had. Comfortable, love the pockets as they make it possible to go"purseless" without being "bulky". Also many compliments. My sister had to get one for herself.

Warm, cozy, stretchy enough that it allows for excellent mobility. I love the length. I'm 5'8" with an average to slightly long torso, and it just covers my behind. Not a huge fan of the color, I wish it was a more muted or neutral burgundy color, but overall very happy with the vest.

I like the sweater fleece jacket so I thought I'd use a few coupons saved up and try these vests. I love vests as I get over heated while on my morning walks if I wear coats. I ordered the teal and gray colors. The gray fit well, but I didn't like the color in person (much lighter) and the teal fit a little large. I sent the gray back although it fit me better through the middle. I did love the material and zippered pockets. Will be a great addition to my LL Bean vest collection.

Warm & cozy. The pockets are nice to keep my cellphone an other items I need when I walk

Fits as I expected, with a bonus of being long enough to cover my behind. I like the inside pockets very much, missing those from some other styles. It's warm and I really like the color, the pale eggplant. I am 5' 3 " tall and weigh 148 pounds. I bought a Women's Medium Regular. I would recommend this to a friend. The collar is a bit stiff, but probably because it's new. I live in the high desert.

Very cozy material. Love the long length. I live in the Eastern Sierra, it is great for spring/fall temps.

This vest is perfect for non-winter weather when there's just enough coolness in the air to require a cozy, form-fitting sweater that allows freedom of movement. It's got perfect pockets and I wear it with everything!

It's the right fleece thickness for the seasons weather. Just right for walking in the cool mornings or evenings.

As expected, LLBean products are very well made. I should have ordered the medium, but I am keeping the large. It has room to put over heavier tops.

The best part is the length. Its a little longer , but it also has a side split so it fits over the hips or a belt perfectly.

This vest in XS fits my narrow chest perfectly while being long enough to actually cover my butt in the back. Yay! A similar vest from another brand had a back length just a little too short. I bought the mulberry color and the grey. Now how about a greyish blue or greyish teal? I agree that the logo on the pocket is too in your face, but that didn't stop me from buying it. If it bothers me, I can unravel the stitches and pull it off.

This is my second one. I first got the gray which was great. So ordered this cranberry color. I get so many compliments.

Ever since receiving this I think I wore it everyday!! I am long waisted and most vests are just too short. This length covers the low back completely. Love it!
