Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Mountain Classic Puffer Jacket Color-Block

Super cute retro style and colors (cream with the orange/blue/yellow accents) and great weight for spring or early fall. As with a lot of Bean outerwear, this runs one size large. I'm generally a size small (4-6/lean/small busted/muscular) and take an XS in this. One star off for the prominent chest logo patch -- I really wish bean would stop it with this -- it's so huge and colorful that it is distracting (at least place it at the bottom right hem or something rather tan the chest). but I love the jacket so i'm dealing with it.

I love the color combination and the old school style. Unfortunately the fit of the jacket is very off. I ordered an XL and it's very tight all over, but especially in the shoulders and upper arm areas. I have another of their 40 degree puffer jacket same size / cut and this jacket just doesn't fit the same as my other puffer. The snap pockets are OK I thought that detail was pretty old school too so I can live with them, but no interior pocket totally stinks. I think every coat should come with them especially in the age of smart phones. I decided to keep the jacket despite the fit because I just love the old school styling and lately it seems so hard to find a straight up navy blue jacket.

This jacket is perfect for north Florida winters. It is warm in 30 degrees and windy weather. It is nice and thin, rather than being bulky. I got a Large, which I wear in most things and it's a little big at the bottom around my hips. Since we don't wear a lot of layers here, maybe I could have gone a size down to get a slimmer fit.

It runs large ... I ordered according to their size chart and the XS is STILL large with a sweatshirt underneath it. Exchanging (even though they are charging me $6.50 to do this) for an XXS. Also - the red is not red in person but more of a burnt orange. STILL a very cool looking jacket! Lightweight and definitely not a puffer.

The jacket fits fine. It does not seem like it will be very warm, quite a bit thinner than I thought it would be. Disappointed there isn't one secure pocket to put keys, etc. in. When a car key these days is $600 to replace (plus the inconvenience of being stranded somewhere), I need one pocket where there isn't a risk of losing them. One small inside pocket would have been nice.

I would suggest sizing down. Once you find the best fit, the jacket fits nice. It is a box-ier cut so makes you look larger when oversized.

I love the design of this jacket. It's a perfect lightweight jacket, not meant for cold winters. This is my first time buying an LLBean jacket and I bought a medium, but this medium was wayyy too loose. I'm hoping a size small will work better. I like my tops and jackets to be fitted, so a Medium may be just perfect for others who layer or like more breathing room.

I don't think it should be called a "puffer" coat. I assumed this was a thicker winter coat but its very thin. No puff to it. It's ok for a mild winter day in Wisconsin. Love the colors of the beige coat. Fits true to size or maybe a little big.

Got this in Natural/marine blue Size Large. Fits perfectly, and will be great for southern winters. Ease of movement with enough room to wear long sleeves underneath and thin enough to layer a bulkier coat over it. I'm a little disappointed with the colors of the stripes. Blue isn't as bright as pictured and the middle color is a rust color rather than bright red. Overall I like it! Tried to upload a photo but the site won't let me.

The colors are great but it was tight across the shoulders and wide at the bottom. I wanted to love it but it was also too thin to be my winter coat. Returning was easy.

Color is great. Almost warm enough and sleeves too long.

Runs large. I am 5'3" 115# and the xs was boxy. I exchanged for a petite xs which fit better. Also it's pretty thin. Sufficient for a California winter but that's about it in terms of warmth. Very cute, I get lots of compliments.

The colors are amazing, feels great. Lighter material. It's a little tight in the shoulders for me. I can't wear a sweatshirt under it.

The jacket is so very cute! Kind of a 70's throwback look which I love. I am a true medium in tops and jackets and this one is a bit big on me but if you wear bulky sweatshirts and sweaters under it, it works out well. I will probably run to a local LL Bean store to try on the small before I cut the tags off my medium I ordered.

Although this runs a tad small, I really do like it. The arms are a little tight but it does keep me pretty warm. It's also light weight so it doesn't feel heavy while wearing it. Love the color. Overall it's very pretty and I do like it very much.

I normally wear a 2x (22w) in women's plus size and sized up to account for layers. This jacket is SNUG, but I like it too much to return it.

Very stylish. Runs big in body, not in arm length. Ripped the nylon on my first farm chore and sewed it... Barely visible. Warm and lightweight. Would buy a size down if I bought another. Otherwise well made and cozy.

I was so excited to see a coat that was both hip and plus size! It is very flattering except that the arms are too tight on the 2x. I bought a size up 3x and it's too big! Super bummed, because I love it! I would prefer zip pockets but that wasn't a deal breaker...

Stylish jacket! I purchased the kelp green and navy version. 70's vintage vibes. The jacket is a bit thinner than I anticipated. I believe it will work well as a layering piece. I actually find the sweater fleece jackets to be warmer. That said, the jacket is roomy enough to wear one underneath. It also has a quality zipper. My only complaint is the arms. The fit could be better. I got the petite version after reading about this complaint from others. The arms are a tad bit too wide and long. Makes me seem more petite than I really am.

Runs small, maybe I can wear it this fall when I lose more weight.

From other reviews, I knew this jacket was lightweight and not terribly warm but that was fine with me. But the overall fit and the quality just wasn't there. I kept it because I was going away and needed it but I'm not sure it was the best choice for me. I did get compliments on the bright blue color.

Bought it for a Winter Jacket on days it is not cold enough for her Down. Love the looks, fit, etc. We are disappointed in the warmth. It will either go back, or become a Fall, Spring Jacket :-(

I bought this a few weeks ago because I lost weight and needed a new jacket. Going by the description, I thought it would be nice and warm. I'm really disappointed, it isn't nearly as warm as described. I will keep it for the fall and spring.

Purchased but haven't worn and will return (the store isn't super close by). Snap pockets and no interior zip pocket are a recipe for lost items! (At least the men's version is the same way.)

Loved the jacket, but returned due to side pockets. Wish they zipped closed to prevent losing things, did not like the button closure.
