Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Vest

Looks great, fits great. Going to but one in blue.

comfortable, but I wish the collar was smaller (lower). It sticks up high and that's fine if it's zipped up all the way. But for wearing around the house, I keep folding it down. It seems to be very well made.

Not like other fleece bean vests Ive had in past. A little heavier as well. I like it but would of preferred something with more or only fleece.

I wanted to get another fleece vest to replace one that I bought about 11 years ago. The pockets were changed, the zippers were changed (I used to be able to hang a micro-flashlight to the breast pocket), and the outer finish was changed to a corduroy-like finish.

Very well made with attention to detail. Comfortable and a warm addition on chilly temperatures and works well under a lite jacket for that extra that you want.

Purchased to add another layer of warmth at work during the cold Ohio winter days. This has become my goto and fits well over dress or casual shirts. Fits as advertised.

Great color and quality; received quickly. Would recommend

Very cozy. I wore this over a long sleeve t-shirt at school where I was a substitute teacher. It added a collar and pockets for a style upgrade. It felt very cozy and I was able to carry my smart phone comfortably in the top pocket. The material seems a bit more substantial than the classic fleece version, plus this one has the upper pocket which is not on the classic version.

Looks great. Covers a range of temperatures. Sturdy construction.

The vest is very good quality and looks fantastic. We bought more than one color!

Great vest like my other 4, but would prefer a shorter collar in our climate.

Pleased with my purchase! LL Bean always offers outstanding value and this vest was well worth the money.

These vests (I bought two of them) are warm enough, with a flannel shirt, down to about 50F; and they will handle 40F, if under a windproof jacket. Their shapes are appropriate to my body type, so they look good on me, and the colors I bought are appropriate to my wardrobe. However, I do not like the way their collars are constructed. I like to wear vest collars folded down, most of the time, but these collars' edges curl up in an ugly and uncomfortable manner, when the collars are folded down. Therefore, I am forced to wear the collars standing up, which I do not like. (For one thing, they mess-up my beard.) If you intend to buy one of these vests, be sure that you can live with a fully-standing collar.

Warm, comfortable. I wear it all the time. Only thing I don't like is the standup collar.

Its perfect in fit and style! So comfortable for all occasions

So far, Ive used it indoors only. It fits well and I like it.

Good quality materials with good quality workmanship and a generic design which includes a pocket for a smart phone that is roomy enough for most--mine is a diminuative sized iPhone SE, but I could put a big iPhone and be sure it would be zipped against falling out. and if you want to feel like a pack animal there is a pocket for a notebook sized computer, I think--I occasionally carry a Kindle Paperwhite in it.

It's a nice medium weight vest that fits well. I'm 5'8", 155 lbs and the medium was a very good fit. The pockets are all zippered and very functional. I do wish the collar wasn't quite as tall as it is for casual wear.

Fits a bit too tight. I'm used to getting small and couldn't even zip up. I changed to Medium and it was still very snug. Perhaps it should be clearer that a slimfit can be really tight.

Very effective. Would like a smooth inner lining to make it easier to put on over my oxford shirts.

Very comfortable and stylish vest. I get lot of compliments when wearing it.

Holiday gift - works great, just a bit snug so sizing on the smaller side. Nice fabric, keeps warm, yet looks fine for office wear.

I bought this to replace a 15 year old LLB fleece vest. I like the familiar fit and design but was surprised (my bad) that the exterior was actually a sweater like material. I do some "brush-busting" so not sure if this one will hold up.

Great color and very warm. Only challenge is that it pills very easily even though it's new.
