Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Full Zip Jacket

Nice lightweight windbreaker. Large for the listed size, XL.

Good value and length is fine. Under arm opening is a little tight and I am not muscular. This is not a "relaxed fit" coat but traditional fit. Overall, well made and would purchase again.

I really like this product. The material is a little thinner than I originally thought it was going to be, but the quality of the material is still great and so is the fit.

A good jacket the biggest issue is that when you move certain ways the zipper pops open at the bottom of the jacket.

Good quality, but a little lighter weight than I anticipated.

Nice fitting light weight jacket. The only thing I think that would make it better is an inside pocket. Limited to the 2 hand pockets that don't zip or close.

Very comfortable and it fits well. A good value. I have been wearing a lot in the current weather here in CT and it is working well.

Nice light Jacket but the size is way off. I wear a large and I needed an Extra Large to fit my chest. Even that size is a bit tight especially if I wear multiple layers under it.

This is a very basic wind breaker shell, does what it claims, with no frills. It is a pared down successor to an earlier version, VN 02322, which was comparable, but more capable. The deleted features include the stow away collar for the hood and the interior patch pockets. It still has the two zippered side pockets, and it remains very lightweight. I would prefer to pay more for the earlier version.

I'll put the blame on me. I thought it would be a nice fall jacket for cool days when it rains. It's basically a lightweight rain jacket. Much better suited for the summer. Still has LL Beans top notch quality. Looks like I need a different fall jacket.

It is a well made jacket. It fits and looks nice. I did not like the feel of the material and decided to return it.

Nice looking jacket...wish it was a little more substantial weight wise though

Hood is a little big and covers my eyes. Works well if I wear a ball cap though. Otherwise, exactly what I wanted.

This is a very good quality jacket for being very lightweight but water resistant. It is quite a bit too close though and could use a bit bigger body under the arms and around the waist. Others have complained about the quality but must remember this is not a mountain parka, but a warm season jacket.

Warm comfortable. Hood is awkward however. Very warm well made.

Nice, well-made windbreaker. VERY lightweight. True to size. Overpriced, though @ $69.00.

Was gift, but appeared as a well made jacket for moderate cold weather.

I bought this jacket for my husband to wear in light rain, as I thought it is water resistant according to the previous reviews. But upon receiving it, I don't see any label that says the material would withstand water and also it does not look like so. Otherwise, it looks nice and appears well made.

Great jacket, just wish it had an inside pocket or 2.

I like the simplicity of the jacket. It could use a tensioner on the back of the hood to keep it from drooping down over the eyes.

Excellent overall, but would be better with an inside the best pocket.

If this was more insulated, it would be perfect. That's why I rated it 4/5.

Overall good jacket but needs inside secure pocket. Otherwise love the jacket ...light... comfortable

I was expecting the jacket to be a little heavier, but that was not an issue for my husband. He loved it and I ordered the Glazed Ginger which he really liked. The only problem is that it is a whole size to large. I always order him medium in all LL Bean items. I now only order the slightly fitted long sleeve shirts and flannels and they fit him nice. This jacket has the elastic sleeve openings which works good for someone like my husand who has shorter arms. So I reorderd this jacket in a small today. I hope that it will fit him. I will update this review if I can when he gets the size small. The color is a very nice color. A nice break from the usual black, grey, navy jacket colors.

I purchased this largely because I loved the Mountain Classic Anorak I bought a few years ago, but wished occasionally for the convenience of something that zipped up instead of a pullover. The jacket has all the features of the anorak--light weight, easy to pack in a backpack, good wind blocking, at least in light to medium winds, and a useful hood in case of light rain, so I can imagine getting a lot a wear out of it. It is windbreaker weight, so don't expect it to keep you warm when temperatures drop without layering, and I occasionally miss having an extra pocket at chest height, a feature of a number of other jackets I have, but I have been pleased with this purchase. But if you imagine needing extra storage on a regular basis in your excursions, the zip-up pocket/pouch on the front of the anorak makes it a better bet.
