Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Mountain Classic Jacket Multicolor

The color combination and the design band across the front make this a most attractive jacket. It isn't lined so it isn't warm on its own. But it's the perfect outer shell for layering in the fall. Good size pockets and a light hood, useful as a rain jacket because the cloth dries up quickly...love it!

Love the jacket. Perfect weight and wind and rain protection for fall. Just what I was looking for.

I purchased this jacket at the flagship store in Freeport, ME after neglecting to pack a jacket for vacation! It's just right for a cool morning or a chilly evening. I love the weight and fit of the fabric.

I love the blue/green coloring combination, and this jacket is made well.

Can't wait to wear the Mountain Classic Jacket this Fall. The fit is very flattering and I look forward to wearing it frequently!

Nice light weight jacket. Fits very comfortably, which as a plus size woman is sometimes hard to find. Folds up and easily fits into my backpack-so perfect for travel which is what I bought it for-needed something that could be used for layering and not too heavy to carry around when it warmed up or stopped raining.

Lightweight jacket and I've received many compliments andet everyone to buy it at LLBean!

I've been eyeing this jacket and the anorak version for a couple of years, with the classic olive/blue/read combo. When I was going to take the plunge and get one, I got worried about the other reviews reporting some complaints on the oversize of this jacket (everyone's body is different so take what I say with a grain of salt). I'm 5'3", and currently 168 lbs. I'm technically on the cusp of "petite" so I can go between regular and petite with little issue, depending on what the item is. Even though I'm short and small framed I'm usually a size L in tops only because of my larger bust and bc I'm a tiny bit pudgy in the middle (I have a little bit of waist definition but only by a few inches between my bust and my hips). I was trying to decide between regular L and Petite L-- or even Reg M (bc of all the reviews saying it was basically a tent). In my experience with LLB petite is that only the petite sleeves can sometimes be TOO short, even for me (and I have short arms). Other reviews said that these run large, which also got me worried-- I didn't want to swim in it but I also wanted it to be flattering-ish but also have room for a sweater without being too tight in the bust when layering. I aired on sizing normally on the Petite L. Now I can understand why people say that this "runs large", if you do not have a larger bust I can imagine that it would feel that way. But, I do have a large bust this size ticked all the boxes for me-- wasn't swimming in it with just a base layer-- very comfortable fit. Did leave a little extra room for layering. And, I didn't feel constricted either in my bust or waist. It is still a bit boxy, but not huge-- it's only ever so slightly tapered in the waist, but almost unnoticeable (fine by me). Luckily, the color blocking of the jacket hits right at my natural waist and so it gives the illusion of a flattering shape, haha. I cannot speak to it's water-resistance in long term exposure outdoors, but running it under the faucet for a few seconds, water does bead off of it. It took a while for it to feel a bit slightly damp. I will have to test it outdoors once fall hits, but I would say this is not suitable for heavy torrential rain-- but light to semi-moderate rain should be okay. In terms of materials, seems like decent quality. It is light (packable) and unlined, which will be good in fall and spring. My only complaint is that this has 2.5 pockets. 2 unzippered pockets on the belly, and one small zippered compartment within one of those pockets. For the price of this thing, I really would have liked more pockets (even on the inside of the jacket) and more zips on those pockets in general. It's a weather proof jacket-- I want pockets to be able to close or be protected. Otherwise from that, I'm thrilled with it! Huge plus to the gender-neutral colors (I'm cis F, but I hate that all women's clothing color choices are either pink, purple, or teal-- as if women can't like more "masculine" colors or feel they aren't feminine when wearing them? Give me a break. Men's clothes always have better palettes so I always want more range and complexity like that in women's! Thanks LLB, VERY SOLID!)

Love the colors and it fits great. Looking forward to using this when cooler temps finally arrive.

Love my coat. Lightweight. Perfect for wind and rain. Colors and design are great

Love the colors. Comfortable fit, perfect weight for cool weather.

I am lovingly surprised by the fit of this jacket. Most jackets fit me really tightly through the lower torso or bust and this one fits me perfectly with ample room if I want to wear a thick hoodie or sweater underneath. The pockets are oversized and one even has a secondary zippered compartment. Such a nice add-on that I wasn't expecting!

This jacket is what I would expect from LL Bean. It is a wonderful, great quality product.

Lightweight and comfortable to wear. Great rain jacket that keeps you dry!

I like this jacket because it fits well, not too tight or too loose. It also looks sharp and does a good job as a raincoat.

Beautiful jacket! Fits well. I bought the Spruce/Tuscan Olive color. Makes for a great rainjacket in town. FYI: Zipper on inside of right pocket only. Prefer zippers on outside of both pockets, but having at least one secure area is okay.

Nice cloth texture and I love the pretty color sceme

Love it! Great fit. True to size. I was pleasantly surprised how waterproof it was when I got caught in the rain, while walking the dog.

Just what I wanted, a sturdy and good looking rain jacket that I can wear layers under.

Purchased for wife and she loves it. Perfect size for her. Great color and very helpful in light rain and windy conditions when out on the lakes in the evenings. Well constructed!

Needed a light raincoat for our 2 week journey through Ireland. These worked great! Wore them practically everyday. They kept us dry through every light to moderate and even heavy rain.

I love that it somehow feels substantial yet also soft, flexible and light. The color blocking is so fun and cheerful.

Love this jacket, fits great, goes with almost everything, not heavy to carry or pack

At age 83 years I decided I needed something more appropriate to my age instead of a fleece jacket to attend church.

Very similar to one I have from the 90's that is half zip.
