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

How do you get this thing off? I've been wearing this jacket a lot lately mostly because it's impossible to take off.

Awesome light jacket and protects from the weather, rain.

The jacket fit satisfactory in the body, the sleeves could have been at least a half to a full inch longer to be honest. I don't know know if that's a quality control issue or if that's just the designed fit. Other than that, seems like a good anorak.

Very soft comfy jacket. It stretches and isn't stiff like some raincoats.

Very nice looking pullover jacket. I'm generally 6'4 slim. This XL regular was a little snug at the waist but adequate room with a flannel shirt or sweatshirt underneath. Needed longer sleeves. Ordering a Tall.

He loves it, loves the colors, said it was "So sick". Good gift I guess. On the other hand I kind of think it's sick too, and not in a good way. I truly do not like or appreciate the color combination. What the heck Maynard?!! Does everyone need to be totally flamboyant?

Runs a bit small, but next size up fits perfect - easy on/off. Good weight, good look.

A nice pullover. The cuffs should be wider - more of a band.

Fits well and love zippered pouch pocket z have not had opportunity to test water repellent aspect yet.

Nice product and it arrived promptly. The size seemed a little small but it works.

The hood on my anorak is so long that I can't wear it up when it's raining because it hangs down over my eyes and I can't see! Fits kinda snug. One layer only.

Great jacker for the price! Fits well and looks nice. You should make one similar that is a little beefier....goretex, vented armpits, velcro at wrists etc. I live in Colorado and often ski and hike above treeline. Would be worth paying more for a little more rugged version although this jacket will be used a lot in slightly warmer conditions.

So far it's a nice jacket and I'm in between a large and XL. I purchased an XL and it fits fine. It's a light weight jacket without a liner, so on chilly days you'll need to wear an under layer. I love the color, crimson. It lays a little long but I'm 5'7". I haven't worn it in a heavy down pour yet. I would recommend it.

Replacement for an overused '80s era CB anorak that is starting to require repairs. Search for single layer, wind and water resistant, breathable anorak similar to the CB model. Use for colder weather hiking and snow recreation(snowshoe, snowboard, snowsk8, powsurf). This anorak ticks all the requirements. Ski/Snowboard helmet compatible. Hood fits over the helmet without any issue. An improvement over the CB anorak. CB hood is too small to fit over a helmet. Fit allows for base layer and if needed a midweight fleece layer. 4 Stars for now. 5th star earned if it passes the test of time and use.

Not big man friendly. Can't move my arms in this and usually 2XL is perfect for me

I purchased the Anorak to replace my old one. Love the new athletic fit 4 stars. Only reason I did not give 5 stars, because They removed the mid-waste band in the waist pocket.

I had to purchase a size larger than I usually do with LL Bean clothes because I wanted to be able to wear a heavy sweatshirt or sweater underneath it. It's comfortable and functions as a good shell.

It's very well made I was considering the insulated version but glad I got the uninsulated so I can wear it as a windproof /water resistant shell. It's basically a windbreaker and very comfortable. The navy blue color is perfect and I've gotten lots of compliments. I'm thinking about buying a green one.

I love the color. I love the fit. I have one less star because I bought this jacket and not 20 minutes later saw the SAME jacket in the outlet store in the SAME location for $20 less. Not cool.

Sizing is smaller than expected! Tight fit with light shirt and does not work well with medium to heavy fleece. Looks great.

Nice jacket overall. Original bought in 86 and stolen in 88. Purchased a replacement then in a rather odd green color that I still wear when my wife is not around. Bought a new one 3-4 years ago to be presentable. Tight in the shoulders but still very good. Liked the new green and just bought a new one. Disappointed that the waist drawstring in all the others no longer exists. It is really noticed if you have something heavy like a cell phone in the kangaroo pocket. Hopefully the green in the jacket version comes out. Great material, simple design, but missing the classic fit.

I like the looks, fit, quality and functionality of this wind shell. I particularly like the kangaroo pocket. It is cut slightly trim around the torso; which looks good when it is on, but, being a pullover garment, can be a bit of a chore pulling it over your head and fitting both of your arms into its sleeves. Sleeve length is good and true to size. As an aside, I would prefer the label/logo be less prominently displayed.

This Anorak proved to be the breathable weather resistant layer that I was looking for. I paired it with a medium weight L.L. Bean wool top and set off on a brisk walk in 30- 40 weather with a good wind blowing across a lake. It rained lightly on me, though nothing pooled up on the fabric. The kangaroo pocket is excellent for a large cellphone, gloves when you get too hot or a plastic doggie clean-up bag. There are additionally hand pockets as well. Hits: breathability, durability. Misses: lots of loose threads to remove (quality control), color different from photo (actually more cinnamon than orange). That's why no Excellent rating.

Got an XL to fit heavy fleece underneath during Northern Illinois winters. The garment really needs a draft flap behind the zipper. A flap would enhance its windbreaker abilities. The lined version has a flap. Eh?

The fit and comfort were right. Used for golf on a windy dayand it performed well
