Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Down Parka - Tall

I bought this coat for my Dad who moved from Arizona to New Hampshire this past year. I purchased a larger size since he wants to wear sweaters under the coat. He finally feels warm when he goes outside. He feels comfortable and is happy with his new coat.

Due to a a long stretch of very cold weather I found I did not have an adequate coat for extended walks with the dog. This coat turned out to be the perfect solution. Fit was just right, and light weight but sufficiently warm. Nice appearance and reasonably priced. In short, totally satisfied.

Loved it - would buy again! Will recommend to others. (Color was wonderful too - Kelp Green.)

Purchased this coat after my wife purchased the woman's version. I was impressed with how light the coat is. The coat is far warmer than one would think based on the weight. The coat is puffy but not too puffy. Its very comfortable, and has enough room to have several layers on under the coat. Personally I find the coat too warm for days in the low-mid 30 degree F but was ideal for days in the mid 10 degree F. The coat has ample storage to include zippered pockets within the side pockets and a zippered internal breast pocket. The hood is detachable which is a nice feature. The zippers are high-quality YKK zippers and the riveted buttons seem to be high quality as well. This is a true high-quality LL Bean coat. I love it.

it keeps the wind out and is very warm

This is my husband's first real winter, nice coat. He's always layered coats because he's stubborn and didn't want to invest in a nice coat. Well, after some outdoor wine tasting in Washington in January and watching him shiver, I decided I was going to purchase a coat for him whether he liked it or not. Well, he LOVES it! The fit is a little big, but it's perfect to wear bulky sweaters or hoodies underneath, so I'm saying it a perfect fit. The length covers his bum for extra warmth. Excellent fit, very warm, splendid quality!

This men's mountain classic down parka is perfect for me. It keeps me warm when the temperature drops to -25. In warmer days when I wear it, I don't feel too "warm." It truly keeps one warm +25/-40! Price wise, LL Bean offers the BEST price. I live in Montana. I can not survive the winters here without this mountain classic down parka. If you live in similarly cold states, I highly recommend this parka to you. It is superlight. When you don't wear it during other seasons, simply put it in a zip bag. It does not take much space. When you go camping, you definitely need such a down parka. If you drive through these northern states, this parka does keep you warm, better than a blanket. The design of this parka is up to date. I look more dashing, professional and younger in this parka. I have tried down jackets and parkas by other vendors. They look not nice on me and I don't like their prices. I returned 5 of them in one month.

I actually, bought 3 coats, one for my son-in-law, one for my son and one for my husband. It is a very warm coat for Wyoming weather.

Perfect coat for Cambridge, MA winters and long walks through campus! Relatively light and compressible as a bonus.

With outdoor dining here in Brooklyn, NY still in effect, this is the perfect parka! When very cold the hood (with a GP knit cap) is more than enough to keep warm.

I know that this isn't considered a coat but this is a great coat lol. It keeps me very warm in 20 degree weather and is not heavy at all. Perfect weight in case you have to take it off and carry it for a while. I love the concealed zippered pockets inside the main pockets. Took me a week to notice those were even there lol.The material looks great and for a parka I definitely recommend it. I would of course tear easily if you snag some jagged metal or broken tree branch but I think it's perfect for the price and weight. Mine is green and I love how it's not too bright. Anyways, great coat! 10 out of 10 stars!

I have used the Mountain Classic Down Jacket for a few seasons (excellent coat btw). On the extra cold and windy nights, I sometimes wished for a hood. BEHOLD!!! I like the added warmth of the parka but the extra length will take getting use to. Other than being warmer, you can't tell it's longer till you either look down or reach for your pocket. I'm loving it. I'm 5'9, 160lbs and the medium was perfect. I have ample room for a mid layer if needed. This fabric isn't like those paper thin membrane down coats. This wont snag and rip like some coats today. You can expect years of every day use out of this parka. I speak from experience as the Mountain Classic Down Coat is made the same and of the same material. It's tough and it ROCKS! Stay warm friends.

This is the first coat I've purchased in several years and immediately noticed how much warmer it is than my old down coat. The Mountain Classic Parka fits true to size and I love the pockets within the pockets with zippers for keys etc. This is an all around great warm coat. Pleased that I purchased it.

Best parka I've ever had . Great value as well

This is an awesome coat! My favorite winter coat ever. Lightweight, but very warm. Nice pockets, great fit.

We live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and I walk my dog mornings and nights. During the winter it can get cold here (high 20s, low 30s) and although I've always been cold by nature I never had a coat that truly kept me warm. This parka is just what the doctor ordered. I like everything about it, and especially the fact that it hits me mid-thing, providing an extra bit of protection from the wind. I got the X-large with the idea that I'd wear it over a suit when the weather got really cold, and it accommodates that. However, it's not too loose if I wear just a sweater. I'd like to have a vertical zip pocket on the chest area, but that's a personal preference and not a knock on the coat. In the online reviews I saw some complaints about the zipper and the snap-on hood, but the former works fine and I detect no air leaks with the latter. My only disappointment is that I did not find this coat years ago.

This coat was a gift for my husband for Christmas and at first we got the large because that is what was recommended to him, but after he tried it on and tried to be "normal" with it a few days, he decided that the XL might be better for him. We did go to the store and they had the coat in the Olive color which he was okay with and he is overall very happy with this coat, which makes me happy too because he is very very picky!

Love the down warmth.

I outgrew my 5 year old coat and needed a new one. This fits the bill.

If it had a P instead of an L at the beginning of the name this would be a $500+ parka. Excellent value and perfect for playing fetch in the yard with the dogs when it's 15 degrees out. Tested out with a t-shirt when it was about 18F out and was very warm. Love the hood. I generally don't like hoods but like this one a lot. Huge fan of this coat.

Pros: light, warm, great length. Con (or a personal gripe): wish there was more than 1 inside pocket. I tend to carry along a lot of stuff... Perhaps a good thing as my coat will not be bulging in all directions. Not serious enough to lower the rating.

The jacket is so good for walking around. It is light, and comfortable.

I ordered several jackets from different companies. My husband did not like any of them . This was my last chance to satisfy him He LOVES this jacket. Fits great and keeps him warm without being heavy!

Perfect fit. Perfect weight. I'm very happy with everything about this coat.

Bought for my husband. He walks every day and wanted to be warm. He loves this coat!
