Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Mountain Classic Down Parka

I just love my coat, that is the best purchase I have made. It is so warm

Fantastic coat! Great for walking downtown, playing in the snow with my boys or hiking. I am so pleased with this coat. The coat is really warm and not bulky.

First coat I've ever bought where I truly feel warm. Love it!

New England winters call for a warm coat! This coat fits the bill for warmth and comfort.

Tried this jacket on in the store and I just had to get it. The waist is slightly tapered which was flattering. This is my first purchase from LL Bean and I think the sizing was a little larger than other brands. This jacket is very comfortable and I love all of the zippered pockets. Wore it out in the snow and single digit temps with only a thin shirt underneath and I was very warmalmost hot even. I am ALWAYS cold, so this is huge.

I often struggle to find coats that aren't tight across my shoulders, but this fits perfectly!

Great fit, cozy and warm without being over bearing! Love the length and like having a hood. Feel like I'll have this coat for many years!

This coat is very warm and is great for the colder weather in Michigan. I am very happy with this purchase. Some people complained about the zipper but I have had no problems with it.

Light weight but warm. Very comfortable! True to size. 5'7" 190# bought XL

Overall I'm thrilled with this coat and have worn it everyday for the last month. It's warm, sturdy, and still has some shape even though it's a puffer. But it's huge! I have a petite build, 5'4" and 108 lbs, but my upper half isn't ultra slim or waif-like. I have shoulders! In most clothes I wear a small. This was my first LL Bean clothing purchase, so I don't have any reference within the brand, but in this coat a XXS fits me perfectly when wearing regular layers like a t-shirt and a sweater. The pockets are a little awkward. My phone fell out a few times before I figured out that I need to snap them closed or utilize the smaller zipper pockets, which are really handy. So far this coat has kept me warm and dry when temperatures were in the 20s and 30s. Some reviews say the hood is oversized, but I think it's fine. It cinches down well and is nice and warm. There have been a few stray feathers at seams, but not more than is expected with a down coat.

Haven't worn it yet, but I'm so excited to do so. Looks great, fits great!

Bought this for my daughter for christmas. She loves the length and warmth of this coat.

I am more than satisfied with this purchase. It checks all the boxes for me. It is warm and fashionable.

Bought this coat for a last minute vacation to an area with forecasted sub-zero temperatures, where we planned to be outdoors for extended periods. I figured I needed a 3/4 length puffy coat. This coat was perfect, and coupled with over jeans with an underlayer, hat, gloves and snow boots, this coat kept me toasty warm over just a sweater and undershirt. Easy to get gloves on/off, easy to put hands in pocket, or pull hood over my knit cap. I was exceptionally pleased with the warmth, style and functionality - and even more impressed at this price point.

Very stylish and warm with adjustable waist for a more fitted or looser look.

I am outside in cold, windy Maine winters all the time and so critical of winter clothing. This is by far the best parka I have had in over 40 years. Excellent value, well thought out design and so well made. A few necessary details - the loft is warm but not cumbersome; length keeps me warm and, I believe, also traps warmth; inside zip body pocket easy to reach; side pockets are deep and warm with snaps to secure mittens, etc, and each side pocket has a zip inside pocket! The very warm hood is detachable; collar on parka is just right height -keeps out wind, but doesn't interfere with hats. The front zipper will loosen up once used a few times. It's big and easy to work with gloves on. And - tah dah - this is a nicely cut, pretty stylish parka. I get complements on how good it looks. Thanks you Beans!

It's a wonderful jacket for many reasons! I got it for walking because it provides warmth without weight or bulk! The fit is true to size, and is very comfortable to wear. We live in a windy, cold area, and I like the fit around the neck when zipped up- tight enough, but, not too tight. The hood is comfortable and easy to slip on and off. The extra length makes it superior to many other jackets,

Very nice! So warm! Nice looking! I went a size down, to a small, and it fits great, with a little extra room even. I'm 5'7" and 130. The zipper needs a little babying.

It's the perfect cold weather coat. The one thing that I was counting on was that I need warmth without bulk and it's exactly that. Best purchase I made this year.

This coat with great it's warm with it without layers. Fits perfect , maybe a tad big but not by much. Just enough room I can wear a sweatshirt with it and still move and not feel tight. I would so buy another.we are getting into the negatives in temp and this coat seriously is warm

The best down jacket I have ever bought.. and I have bought many! It looks great, is super warm, has a hood, zippers easily, lots of pockets, it's fantastic.

I love this jacket! It is warm, comfy and the perfect length. I had to size down. First tried small, had to return for extra small. I'm 5'3 and 120lbs.

This is an excellent coat. Every time I wear it, I reflect on how awesome it is in several ways: 1) It's warm without feeling bulky or "suited up." As a curvy woman, I appreciate the definition in the waist area so that I don't feel like I'm wearing a sleeping bag. 2) The coat has a lot of "no-brainer" features in the right places: interior zip pocket, pockets with two layers of storage (one open, another secured with zip closure), lovely brown textured zipper pulls that elevate the style. I'd love some hand warmer pockets but honestly, not a deal breaker for me, and the lack of hand warmer pockets means the waist definition can happen more seamlessly within this jacket design. Fine trade off as far as I'm concerned. 3) Great length that permits full movement and awesome coverage against the cold (it covers your bum). 4) Coat is fine in sleet and rain. No "heavy" feeling when wet. Nicely repellent! All in all, this is the best go-to cold weather coat I've purchased in a while. For the price, it's a great value, too. Don't hesitate to purchase!

This is a perfect jacket for me for all around use. I wanted something roomy enough to wear a heavy sweater underneath. So I bought a size larger then my usual size. Then I chose the petite because the larger size would be too long in the sleeves for me. This one is great.

After researching and reviewing LLBean's insulated outerwear selection as well as other outdoor-centric sales sites, I am SO HAPPY to have chosen this jacket! So few manufacturers think about plus size women when designing their apparel but Bean, thankfully, does. The jacket fits exceptionally well, even with a heavier sweater, and I don't feel like an overstuffed helium balloon! The two-way zipper was a must for me and this one does not disappoint nor is it difficult to use despite being a left-sided pull up. The pockets are not small in my opinion, unlike comments made by others in their reviews. The hood is fairly large and a bit bulky for everyday wear, but it can be easily removed. I love the blue color, the arms are a perfect length, and the overall length of the jacket is great, almost mid-thigh which will keep me adequately warm, too, when walking around for any length of time. If you are hesitant to purchase a down jacket, thinking it's way too bulky for your figure, don't! This one is truly the best I've seen and I'm thrilled to have taken the gamble. Get it before it sells out!!
