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

Much lighter than I expected...in a good way. The fabric is soft & supple. Feels like cotton, though it is nylon...or supplex? Packs down small, but looks great when you pull it out. So stylish. You have to be into pull overs to really appreciate this. If zip on jackets are your thing, you might find this cumbersome to put on & off. But if style & form of function are your bag, this is for you. One tip. This works great with a light fleece & still has a fitted look. If you want to layer up with a heavy fleece, don't be afraid to size up. I'm getting another in XXL. Besides...now they have GREEN!

This is my new Go-To during any in between weather. Great for North Carolina fall and most of winter.

Love this item. Would recommend

This jacket is prefect for cool mornings or nights. It's easy to pack and takes up little space. It's perfect for a fall walk in the woods or around town.

I bought the blue/gray combo in this jacket and it is so perfect. It is the perfect weight for fall days or chilly summer nights. I have the insulated one, too, and I wanted a similar jacket for layering for dog walks and paddling. I love the big pocket and I don't mind that it is a pullover. It is my go to for any outside activity that does not include snow. I wish it came in pretty plaids. But it is both cute and functional.

this is my second anorak, first one (close to 18 years old-still in great shape) comfortable, easy to put on, just the right material and warmth for cool mornings with walks with the dogs. Highly recommended

Have worn it a few times, I love it, it's better than I expected, I normally have an issue with how LL Bean fits me bc I am slim, but not this, perfect fit. Would recommend.

First off I ordered the XL long. Fit is true to size. This is a great lightweight windbreaker that is water resistant and is perfect for spring or fall hiking or when it looks like rain. Stores in its own pocket so it is small and fits easily in your pack. Love it.

I bought one maybe 20 yrs ago and it was awesome. It was perfect for most of winter in Texas and even the few times I took it with me to the Oregon coast. Only problem is I grew and it fit more snug but it was still in great condition last I wore it, with it being about 18 yrs old. Sadly I lost absolutely all my possessions when life got upside down and my prized anorak went with it :( but I WILL get another because nothing beats the comfort and use I enjoyed so much, and it lasted like a champ.

Light weight shell. Great kangaroo pocket and a generous zipped pouch pocket. Perfect for me and beach walks. Water repellent enough for fog drizzle and blocking the wind. Goes over a sweatshirt easily.

Amazing jacket and super well elaborated. I loved it.

This "jacket" is perfect for Spring in SoCal, I like to keep it in the backseat or trunk of my car for those days with a light evening breeze. 10/10!

Loved at first sight!

Good fit ,good al-around jacket

Purchased this nice, lightweight, pullover jacket for my husband. He is very happy with it. He loves the fit, look, and fabric feel.

I've been looking all over for a windshirt/breaker that was light and durable as well. This seems like the perfect balance between the two. It repels some water and is completely windproof. I love the real hood for good coverage when you need it (why else use a hood??). If it gets in you eyes just wear a brimmed hat. The kelp green color is what initially attracted me to this jacket since I use it for hunting primarily and really like the earth tones over flash. It also makes a great camp pillow when its stuffed in its pocket pouch. I sure hope this color other earth tones are options for the future I seem to be seeing it less and less.

This is a great all around piece of outdoor equipment. I have an old one I purchased at an LL Bean Outlet. It's still great, but the color is a strange sort of pumpkin. I used it on two Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) trips. Perfect to cut the wind but still be breathable. I wouldn't be without it. Now, I have a black colored windshirt in tall; I don't have to look like "The Great Pumpkin" in public. This is a valued piece of equipment.

Not sure what else to say that hasn't been said. The fit for me is perfect, and it looks great. Functions great in the rain. One thing I didn't expect was the pocket space behind the big front pouch. My favorite rain jacket. I can see some people might not like that it's not a full zippered jacket but I love it. Would buy again for sure.

Purchased as a gift for my son. Vacillated over the reg vs tall option. Ultimately purchased in a tall and he is happy with the extra length, but it's not too long. Wore in the New Orleans' drizzle and it is repellent, but probably not waterproof. I see the insulated version in his future. Definitely recommend for cool but not cold days.

Fit good and came as described

Runs a bit large but if you want to layer it will be fine. I use as an emergency coat in my car because it self packs.

Perfect jacket - use to go to classes on campus, going out.

This is a great Anorak -- I love it! I just replaced my 30-year old LLBean Anorak which had become too small for me...well, OK, I guess I've become somewhat larger over the years ;-) haha. I usually purchase LLBean clothing items in the XL-Tall size (Traditional fit) -- always fits me perfectly, HOWEVER since this Anorak is only available in the "Slightly-Fitted" size, and thus I discovered that I had to go UP in size to an XXL-Tall size with the Slightly-Fitted so that I could put it on and take it off easily (this larger size in slightly-fitted still fits me very nicely). I noticed that LLBean has since changed the design of their Anoraks *only slightly* compared to the one that I had purchased 30 years ago (I suppose this is to be expected, with improvements made to the garment over the years) HOWEVER I have found the same LLBean Quality lives on and is still in this garment! Plus, this Anorak looks great, it fits great, it performs great....and I always get compliments whenever I wear it! I look forward to wearing this Anorak for another 30 years!!

Love the anorak. Perfect fit. Good windbreaker, great in a drizzly rain. Roomy enough to layer under. Very pleased

The jacket is good quality and comfortable. It is lightweight so it won't protect you much from very cold temperatures. The hood is also a little bit larger than most. I am satisfied with the purchase.
