Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Mountain Classic Down Parka

I like the color (blue) and the warmth of this (for Colorado winter weather) and the pockets features. The pocket you put your hands in on the outside of the coat has another pocket inside of it that zips, so you can zip in your keys and then still put your hand in a cozy warm pocket, too and keep that open. I dislike the drawstring middle and the shape/size of the bottom of the coat -- the drawstring makes it a bit triangular shaped, and although I got a petite XXS, the bottom looks weirdly wide/too big on me (I'm usually a 0 dress size, 24 or 25 pant size, 5/11" 95 lbs). I'm still keeping it because I need a warm coat and it is cozy and functional in that way. Ps. I have no issue with the zipper.... (other reviewers have disliked it).

If the coat had been made a bit longer I would have given it 5 stars. I do wear a petite and it's just made too short, the regular was too large all over. I do love it with the exception that when I sit it is too short to sit on. Makes getting into a cold car uncomfortable until the seat warmers heat up.

Overall great quality for the sale price. Zipper sometimes sticks. Cuffs are tight to wrist but that helps keep the cold out. Love that the sleeves don't ride up my arms when reaching out.

I'm petite but I ordered the regular xs. This coat is very warm and comfortable. It was not the color shown online more of a true darker burgundy. I would have purchased the navy if I'd known. Side pockets are at a weird angle, things fall out. But, each side pocket has a hidden zip pocket too. One small phone size inside pocket. The hood is oddly shaped. Overall mostly good! Would like a long version with larger patch pockets too!

Probably the warmest jacket I've ever had - and I live in northern Minnesota....

Unbelievably warm! I have to unzip it to cool myself off sometimes. If you live in a cold climate, this is your coat.

I love this coat. Warm and cozy. Only need a sweat shirt (or 2 on single digit days). Good padding in the arms, i hate cold arms when i walk.

Warm and very cozy in the cold NH winter. The style is more bulky and square than it looks on the model. Even with the cinch at the waist it's very square. Kept it for the warmth and durability, expected it to look better though which is why I give it 4 stars.

nicely made, comfortable, room for quilted vest or even another jacket as a liner. I had hoped it would be warmer but I like it so well that I will increase warmth with layers

I originally bought the petite medium because I'm short and have a big bust. It ended up being too big. I exchanged it at the store for a regular XS and that fits well. I already snagged the material on something sharp, which I don't love but overall the jacket is warm and comfortable. The first coat had a zipper that didn't work well, the 2nd one was fine.

Great coat, very warm. I really like it, the only thing is it is REALLY puffy. I'm petite, 5'1 125 lbs and I got a petite small and there's still plenty of room for layers underneath.

Great warm coat, with 2 things that could be better. This is a great light but very warm coat. It's almost perfect for dogwalking in the winter. I have 2 small annoyances, though. First, it really ought to have a large zippered inside pocket for larger items. Second, it needs a better hood adjustment, since the current hood tends to fall forward over my eyes. Tightening the cord just makes a tunnel that falls over my eyes. I hate to say it, but Land's End has figured out how to adjust hoods so they don't fall forward. Why can't LL Bean? I ended up just taking the hood off and wearing my own warm hat. Otherwise, a fabulous coat and I'm happy with my purchase.

Everything is great except for the zipper. It's very tricky to get going which is annoying.

This is a very warm coat, and it looks just like the pictures. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it was a little big on me. I got a petite xs. It fit well in the arms but the torso section was a little big. However, I am 5'3" and 100 pounds so I am small to begin with. Great coat! Highly recommend for warmth

I should have patch pockets the only thing missing. It is actually too warm today. It was only 20 degrees.

This down coat is stylish and warm. It runs large. I'm 5'2 102 lbs and the small was really big. The coat is also heavy. I really loved it but found another LL Bean down coat in a small that fits better. If your climate is really cold this coat is great but not for Memphis.

Very comfortable and warm jacket. I've got many compliments. I ordered a size small, and I'm 5'2 and weigh 130. It still gave me room for another warm sweater. Only went up to my thighs, and would've liked it to reach my knees, but still kept my above warm.

Seemed like an awesome winter jacket, however, i needed a size small instead of a medium. Based on reviews I thought a medium would be perfect.

Warm, comfortable. Like the longer length and the double pockets. Snaps are difficult.

It's nice, stylish and warm. But the sizes are bigger than usual. I'm normally Medium, but for this one I had to change it to small. And it fits me perfectly. There's still some wiggle room.

My wife really likes this coat, and finds it to be VERY warm. But the zipper is rediculous to TRY to operate. So she just has to use the snaps. What's up with that, especially on a coat in this price range?! Fabian Raney

Love the coat zipper is an issue. Often hard to zip up

Absolutely cozy (and I live where it gets seriously cold), and cute. I just struggle sometimes to get the bottom zipper lined up so it will zip.

This coat runs big, so I ended up exchanging for a size smaller. Love it so much. The ONLY thing that bothers me is that the zipper consistently gets stuck when it reaches my neck. I have to partially I soo to rezip it sometimes a few times before it'll go all the way up. Keeps me warm, and it's very comfortable. I recommend it!

This jacket is wonderful for days when it's extremely cold. If the temperature gets close to 40 degrees this jacket becomes unbearable. I walk my dog twice a day for a little under a mile and even in 30 degree weather it can get very hot and sweaty. I've done this walk pretty much everyday for 5 years so it's not challenging. I'm also not someone who is known for being warm at any given moment. I will say that I'd still recommend it.
