Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Windproof Softshell

Nice jacket. The sleeves are a bit long for me, and the size is a little on the small side compared to other jackets.

Excellent for mild weather. A bit tight in the chest when using extra layers

Yeah, I just love the fit, quality of materials, and would definitely recommend it.

Nice jacket for cooler days. I like the outside zippered chest pocket. Fit is nice, but would not wear with a heavy sweater. I am 6'4" and weigh 225, I got tall XL. Fits perfect.

Soft Shell Jacket is comfortable and well made. Fit is good. Looks very professional and classy. Color (Carbon Navy) is very nice.

My husbands favorite jacket! He wears it all the time.

Great jacket. I didnt know mine was ripped until I got home.

Jacket is very nice, though sizing is a little tight on the XL size jacket.

I purchased the XL for my son for Christmas. Got the navy. Very nice jacket. Lightweight, but warm enough. He loved it! Highly recommend.

Bought this for cross country skiing, used it on a 28f day and was plenty warm with just a thin silk shirt underneath. Just wish it had pit zips.

Purchased this for our son in law who was absolutely delighted. Keeps wind off on the outside as well as warm on the inside! Nicely made & fits him well too. Thanks for a great product!

My husband loves this as a jacket. It is lightweight, comfortable and nice quality. It is true to fit.

Just what I wanted. Perfect for that 32-50 degree day. Shell that is tough but not rigid, resists precipitation, with warm lining, pretty lightweight and articulates well. Zippers are sturdy and chunky so work well with gloves. Good quality for a reasonable price. Only knock would be that the lining in the sleeves grabs on to any top with texture but it's a minor inconvenience.

Exactly as expected! Fit and quality are fantastic.

Well made jacket. I like the amber color because its not common. The one issue is the standup collar on the right side digs into my neck like so many of these soft shell jackets do.

Love the material and seems perfect for cold fall days ahead. Top ratings for quality. Sizes I give 3 stars for as I ended up ordering a small and medium jacket as I am getting one for someone else as well. I tried them both on when they came and the difference in size between the small and medium was overly significant. Small was tight around the chest, arms were ok, maybe a little long. Medium was very baggy with very long arms. I am 5'9", 165 lbs.

Nice looking, well made, fits well. But, it's thinner than my old softshell so not as warm.

The shoulders could have a little more. The waist is good. The mid-section is big. I'm not a small man but I workout and the mid-section is rather loose.

Not as "warm" as I thought it would be. Bought this to replace my 10+ yr old LLBean Polartec Fleece Jacket. However, I like the quality, the size/fitting and the color. Overall, a great purchase for the price. Just not sure if it's just more of a light jacket vs. a true windbreaker. If I wear a short sleeve, the wind seems to cut through like a knife. Now, I'm also a southerner. . . . . .

This soft-shell seems to be very well made and I like it a lot with only one exception, it would be better if it had a hood. I hike in the Rocky Mountains where having to spend the night out because of a mishap could be disastrous. Also we sometimes have windy conditions where a hood is essential.

Very nice jacket - one BIG problem, "slight fitted" was a slight understatement. I don't have massive arms however, upper arm (biceps) and across back were pretty tight w/just a t-shirt on. Need something more "traditional" (whatever that is - it's not part of product descriptions) in fit, but not going up to XX-L - want to stay grounded in high winds - going to find different type windbreaker (Bean of course).

My husband loves the jacket! You might want to order a larger size though, runs a little small!
