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

I purchased the small in navy. I love the coat. It fits perfectly (not bulky), is lightweight, and super warm. Extremely comfortable. You can't go wrong with this coat!

This is a high quality parka, particularly for the price. It is very comfortable, warm and soft, allowing ease of movement. My only complaint, although minor, is that the cuffs do not have an inner elastic cuff for a snug fit. The snap closures can cause gaping folds.

I love this jacket. It's exactly what I was looking for. Comfortable and warm!!! I've already had compliments on it. You won't be disappointed.

Fit like a dream!!!! Loved everything about this coat. I was very happy with the warmth but not bulk.

The first time I put on this parka I felt like I was wrapped in my down comforter. It is so comfortable and the fabric is surprisingly soft. It's very slightly big, which is what I was expecting with the goal to be able to wear a sweatshirt or thick sweater underneath. The two side pockets are large, both with zip mesh inner pockets that are great for my keys or phone. It has been amazing so far on cold and windy morning dog walks.

I read the reviews and initially ordered the large based on similar height and weights from other reviewers, but found the large to be a bit too big, even with room for internal layers. I got the medium and it's perfect. I can still wear additional layers without feeling the jacket is tight or I'm swimming in it. I love it overall and it's very warm.

This coat is perfect. Great length, true to size and fabulous navy color. Extremely well made and perfect for the cold New England winter weather.

I was looking for a coat that would keep me warm, as I will be outside a lot this winter. It preforms beautifully in the wind and cold. I don't feel a thing. Water wicks off in drizzly rain. It is so cozy and snuggly for cold northern winters. It is not for casual shopping/inside temperatures... it gets hot fast inside, but has been delightful in all types of outdoor weather. And the length covers my butt without being restricting. I bought this big because I wanted room for layers and/or snow pants underneath... also because I am tired of coats being tight around my hips and bust. So I may be sacrificing fashion a bit, but the function is well worth it. It does also have some elastic ties on the inside to bring the waist in a bit, to give yourself more shape. Overall this is a fantastic coat, worth every penny (and it's a steal compared to a lot of winter coats out there) and I could not be more happy with my purchase.

Great coat to walk my dog this upcoming winter. I like that each pocket not only has a snap to keep it closed, but also an inside pocket with a zipper. Great product.

I go out with the dogs several times a day and I can actually wear a tank top under the jacket and I am very warm. Fits great, love the zipper pockets inside of the pockets.

Just what I wanted -- warm and not too heavy, well-fitting but not fancy.

Excellent length, very soft and comfortable, and I appreciate the ease with which the hood can be removed.

This coat is Minnesotan approved! Super warm and comfy. I got it in a size up to put layers on underneath but it is the best coat I've ever owned and the price is great too!

I was looking for a WARM jacket to wear outside during a major dirt track race in Las Vegas. In November it is always COLD and WINDY.This jacket kept me toasty warm with only a long sleeve Henley shirt. I didn't need more layers! I love this jacket. It IS PERFECT!

This jacket is amazing ! Bought it in black size medium. I wore this for the Yukon quest -28 weather and I was nice and cozy ! This jacket been my life this year up here . Definitely would purchase again ! No regrets !

Temperature hasn't been cold enough to fully enjoy this jacket but it surely will be super warm when the time comes. It'll be plenty warm without underneath layering. I'll wear it to walk about and snow shoe. Anyone who rides a snow vehicle will surely be super comfortable in this jacket!!! I'm 81!

As this is a Christmas present it hasn't been given to her as yet. As a previous LLBean customer I always love the quality and warmth of you winter products.

I walk a few miles almost every morning. This coat is nice and warm even when it is 20 degrees outside. I love the length as it comes halfway to my knees.

Finally, I have a parka that is long enough for my height! The pockets each have two inner pockets, each with a zipper for keeping keys, phone, and credit cards safe. The fabric on the shoulders is more rain repellent and the burgundy color is a nice change from blue or black. I love this parka for its fit and warmth. It's a winner!

Truly a warm coat, not a "wanna be" warm coat. Meant for the icy cold days of winter, not the somewhat cold days of winter. This was a gift for someone who walks and rides a cruiser bile a lot and needed something very warm in our mountainous hamlet in the Cascades.

This is a Christmas present for me, but I couldn't wait to try it out during our recent cold spell. I spend a lot of time outside and I like to be comfortable, warm and stylish. This coat delivers lightweight warmth with several thoughtful pockets, a hood and adjustment option. The lining is pleasingly soft. I ordered the burgundy, which looks more like a pinkish/rose color in the catalog. In reality it is a real beautiful burgundy and I was happily surprised. I was worried that I was getting a coat that would look too pink, which I did not want. The length is great and it is not too bulky. I appreciate the upper pocket inside which in addition to the outside pockets, fits my phone. The coat is like a soft hug...which I think we all could use!

Bought as a gift for my daughter. For cold New England weather

I originally ordered a medium but had to return for a small. But so worth it, keeps me toasty while playing with my kids outside in the snow- and looks great as well!

I've been trying to find a new winter coat for months and finally came across this one. Not only did it feel super comfortable, it didn't suffocate me when I zipped it up. I can wear a thick sweater under this and be happy! It also covers majority of my butt which was what I was looking for. I'm 5'4. You won't regret this purchase!

I was really nervous about ordering the large instead of the XL. I'm generally a size 12-14, but I'm also a weightlifter so I have bigger shoulders and biceps. I usually end up being disappointed when things don't fit right across my back/arms. But this coat was great! Plenty of room to layer over a sweater if I wanted to.
