Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Anorak - Tall

Good copy of original anorak from twenty years ago. Only difference is the drawstring at the waistband was not included.

I purchased the green Men's Mountain Classic Anorak and am thrilled with its fit, quality and appearance. Due to the warmer weather I haven't put it to a full test but I already know it will perform just the way I expected. Of course it's LL Bean, enough said :)

I love this jacket. It's lightweight, stylish (for me at least), and wonderfully packetable--you can fold it up and stow it just about anywhere. I got it because I needed a light jacket I could wear in the spring and summer time, one that I could store in my truck or take with me hiking. Very satisfied with this purchase...might even get the insulated version as well!

Great shell for hiking (or walking the dog). I usually wear a medium, but purchased a Large to layer over my quilted jacket. That said, it's not so big as to be ungainly when just layered over a shirt. It is a quality product. The material is soft to the touch (feels more like cotton than a synthetic), and the deep zipper allows it to open and breathe. More, it really does a great job breaking the wind. Last week on the headlands at Pt. Reyes Nat'l Seashore it was blowing 30 mph. I was comfortable, my friend, not so much. Too, the zip chest pocket is great for stashing a map. This is now a staple in my pack.

Got this at start of winter. Has been my go to so far even in summer. Fits small in my back pack good for any reason to cover your skin. Doesn't tear easy so stays waterproof never too hot or cold. I will be buying more.

I have the original, but this version is superior. It is thicker and more rain resistant.

Purchased this anorak in a medium, my husband's usual size. It fit perfectly and looked supper sharp! He tends to like to wear thicker sweaters or hoodies so we sent it back and got a size large. Easy on and off with a thick layer and still looks good. This anorak is working well to keep him comfortable and dry during extends walks at the dog park in light, cool Spring rain in Michigan.

I love anoraks and have been looking for a lightweight one for several years. This did the trick. I can use it ou and about town (Chapel Hill, NC) and for travel (US and abroad). It is comfortable, has great pockets for holding Passport, notes, receipts, gloves, etc., looks good and is good for most weather conditions in NC and elsewhere that I go. I do wish that it came in more neutral colors, like an olive drab or khaki. I am a bird hunter and would like to wear it in the field. Thanks. Best - Gordon

Got this for my husband he loves it good fit and it was something he was looking for

LOVE this lightweight rainjacket. Easy to throw in a backpack, and I LOVE the kangaroo pouch to put things in whether Airpods, or a pen and a to do list and receipts while shopping. I will be buying another one of these as a gift.

I love this jacket. Quality is excellent. Style is exactly what I wanted. Purchased a black one and after it arrived, I purchased a blue one. Very versatile ! May buy another one in Green ! Price is great. Would definitely recommend this item.

I bought a very similar anorak from LL Bean at least 20 years ago that I loved. Over the years I passed it on because I have grown out of it. I love my new one just as much, if not more.

I've been looking for a good rain jacket and I found it. Most rain jackets feel like hard plastic and wear like it. This has a much more supple feel to it. I got the pull over and it fits perfect for my size, XL Tall. Also, need to give a shout out to the customer service dept. When I originally got my shipment email, I saw that I had ordered an XL Reg. I always order tall from LLBean. I called them right away and they redirected the order back and shipped me the tall immediately. Thank you!

I love this jacket. It is great for warmer winter days, spring/fall, packs nicely and looks great to boot. It is pretty good at repelling water and great with the wind. For the price, this thing is really versatile.

I have an enlarged photo of me taken off Cape Horn in February 1998. I am holding out my GPS and grinning broadly while Old Seadogwearing my L.L. Bean anorak over a sweater and woolen cap. Just the right combination for the time and place. I still have the anorak and wear it when doing outdoor chores in winter. I am giving one to my son for his upcoming birthday.

I had one of these in college 20 sum odd years ago and I loved it! Then it stopped being made for years. It popped back up a couple of years ago and I immediately wanted one but it took up until this season to get the right color in. Absolutely worth the wait! It has become my go to shell this winter with a sweater or fleece underneath for every day wear. It fits great with or without an insulating layer. It is light enough to be my rainwear even in the summer months. I also love the vintage touches, gives it a cool old school vibe. It is well made and I look forward many years of use!

it fits great this is a light pullover good in the wind you want it to fit big so you can layer up

This replaced the Mountain Classic Anorak I purchased in 1998 or 1999. It was my "go to" layer above freezing temps. The new model seems to be made of a somewhat lighter and softer material.

I am very pleased with this product. The fit was great, not too tight. I felt that it would suit my needs as a light windbreaker, rain jacket. I think that it will last for a good while.

I had a LLBean anorak that's about 40 years old and I loved it.!! Unfortunately the elastic around the wrist and some seams were tearing, all from normal wear and 40 years!! I was on the hunt for a replacement. My daughter got me this for Christmas. Only con was the color selections were"typical." My last anorak was a pretty blue color. I purchased a man's L because of availability and I got it in navy. I like it a bit loose to wear a sweater when needed. I am looking forward to many years of use.

I am a female and bought a men's medium for room to wear over layers when we cross county ski and hike. My husband and I have worn these anoraks (except once when LL Bean changed the design, since have gone back to the original) for over 20 some years now. These are perfect for us as we use the kangaroo pockets like a little fanny pack and do not need then to carry packs; they are great outdoors with good layers underneath and keep fairly dry unless it is a downpour. We will continue to buy these as they wear out or the zippers go! Love it, love it , love it!

Great layer for hiking (or walking the dog). Works really well as a wind shell, alone, or over my poly-fill jacket or vest. As others have noted, hood is a little large, but works for me as I'm always wearing a cap. The fabric is soft to the touch, and pockets still accessible when my pack (with waist belt), is on. The cut allows for a great range of motion when I'm scrambling over rocks. The deep zipper helps vent when things warm up, and it's easy on and off. Good piece of gear.

We're having a cold winter here in Central Florida, I mean its gotten down into the 40's here a couple of times already. This is the perfect jacket for this kind of weather. Light strong and looks great. I have been looking for a new anorak for a couple of years and this is the one. I have worn it almost every day.

Jacket is very comfortable

Fits well; great look; would recommend
