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

The fit is perfect. A bit big in the shoulders but it allows for great range of motion and room for layering if necessary. The sleeves are perfect in length and I like how the cuffs adjust and snap to keep the cold out. So many pockets! And three of them zip! No worries about losing my phone or keys in the snow. Warm, stylish, lightweight, plenty of pockets...this coat has it all. Very pleased!

I love my new down parka from LL Bean! It is nice and warm. Sometimes it can be too warm but I'd rather be hot than cold. I got a 1X so that I could wear bulky sweatshirts and still be comfortable. It's perfect.

I really like this coat. Quality seems great. It's a bit big, but to the degree you would expect a winter coat to allow for large sweaters/layers. It's really lightweight and I was scared it wouldn't be as warm as I wanted, but I wore it last week in 20 degree weather and was toasty warm with just one layer underneath.

The coat is very warm. I also love the pockets! There is an inside breast pocket and the exterior pockets have two layers, i.e. snap pockets and zipper pockets within! The adjustable waist makes for a customizable fit. Highly recommend!!!

This is a great coat. I agree with other reviewers that it runs large. I'm a solid medium with a large chest and I ordered a small after reading the reviews, and there is plenty of room for heavy sweaters or sweatshirts underneath. This coat is also super warm - I just got to test it out in 16 degree weather last week and I was very comfortable.

This coat keeps me very warm. It runs a little big.

Glad I read the reviews that this jacket runs LARGE. I am usually a XS-P but decided to go with the XXS-M (petites were sold out) and it fits perfectly! I would say it only has enough room for one hoodie/sweater inside. I have also already washed this jacket twice and it has held up well. This jacket is warm enough for me (California) so can't comment on how it does in real cold places. Super cute and there are tons of pockets everywhere! Love it.

I got this coat in the navy blue. It's warm without being too warm and it's very light weight. It also repels water. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.

I absolutely love this coat! I live in Vermont where the temps can go from above freezing to below zero all in the same week. I needed something I could wear in wet conditions, snow, and keep out the wind. It does all of that. I also have a hard time finding coats with long enough sleeves for me and this fits great. There are adjustments in the waist to help with shape which is nice because no one wants to look like a big puff ball when they wear a down coat

This is my first ever winter coat, I am originally from Las Vegas so I had to get advice when ordering a coat for my first MN winter. So far, I am loving this coat! It's very comfortable, slimming, and most importantly - WARM. I asked a sales rep for advice on sizing and mentioned I am going to layer underneath, I am usually a medium. She said to get a large. This coat is a little big in the tummy area for an hourglass shape, even with cinching, BUT I can imagine the extra bit of room will provide the necessary space for lots and lots of layers :) I also appreciate the double pockets. The first pocket is lined on one side, the second inside pocket is lined on both sides- great for cold hands. Overall EXTREMELY satisfied with this purchase and thinking about buying a second coat in green :)

I bought this jacket about a month ago and have only worn it a few times. I like the adjustable draw cord inside as it gives the longish jacket more shape. It probably runs a little big so I purchased the small. It seems warm, a bit longer than most jackets and fits well.

I am tall - 6ft, and I was concerned this coat wasn't a tall...BUT it fit great. Arms are just at my wrists (not the best length - would want a bit longer, but for a non tall coat a huge win). Agree with the other reviews; runs slightly big, but will be perfect for bulky sweaters under coat. LOVE the coat.

I never write reviews but felt compelled to share mine. I went to LL Beanstore intentioned to buy longer length "Winter Warner Jacket". The one I wanted was not in stock, I did not want to leave as always having to have it mailed to me. I saw this coat after being bummed out that I'd have to order, I put on and was in love. Feels like my down comforter as a coat. Perfect fit, sized down from XL to Lg. Love everything about it from the perfect length, not too long not too short. I have worn over the past couple days of 25 degree weather. Super warm, and many compliments from people! I strongly suggest this jacket. The thinner ones just don't seem warm compared to this gem. The 25% sale made the purchase easier too:)

Love this new coat! It is extremely warm!! It has little zippered pockets inside the regular pockets that are perfect for storing your gloves so they are always there when you need them. Fits great. Lots of room. I probably could have gotten an XL instead of 1X but I wanted plenty of room and don't like coats tight.

I have been looking into getting a parka for a while and I'm glad I decided on this one. It's very lightweight to wear but warm. Nice and soft and the waist sinch option is great if you want a more fitted look. Would highly recommend. Wore this morning in 27 degrees and wind and felt fine. Love!!

I ordered the PM. I am a curvy fit and this well made jacket fit comfortably with a shirt and light sweater. Sleeves were the right length and the metal jacket zippers were just fine. (Was pleased I did not have to wrestle with a plastic zipper that sticks and snags!) Pocket placement was good. Very happy with this jacket!

This jacket is very nicely made. Super warm and the material is fantastic! In Upstate NY the rain hasn't quite turned to snow and the jacket is waterproof. Only complaint the jacket does run big, I typically were a S and ordered an XS easily could have went with the XXS but loved it too much to send back.

A very attractive coat. Warm and very comfortable. Fits true to size. I couldn't be more pleased. This was my first LL Bean purchase and I will definitely return. I highly recommend this coat.

I am very happy with the appearance and price point of this coat. The wrist buttons with elastic is perfect. Hood great. Warm!!!

I was really happy with this purchase. LL Bean quality at it's best! I ordered this coat in kaki. Loved the color. The jacket length and fit was to size. I love the length and the fact that you can make the coat more fitted with the inside synch. The coat kept me warm and has a nice hood. This will be my "go to" coat in cold weather!

This is an awesome coat! It does run a little big but I would rather have room to layer underneath than have it tight across my bottom. Love the olive color, well made. I can always count on LL Bean for quality. I thought the price was really great on this coat too!

This arrived in the mail today, I'm eager to try it out in some cold weather! I typically wear an 18/20 in clothes and wasn't sure if I should size up to the 3x because I like to wear heavy or bulky sweaters and hoodies in the winter so I wanted something that would be comfortable if I layered up. I decided to try the 2x and it has plenty of room, I like the drawstring inside to cinch the waist some when not wearing layers. I also love the zippers inside the pockets. This coat is very stylish!

I wasn't sure about purchasing this because there weren't very many reviews. I bought this and the Ultrawarm 3/4 coat, both in XS. I'm about 5'2" and 120lb. The XS is a roomy fit, so it definitely runs big! I've worn this a few times in 30* weather with a thin layer underneath and it is plenty warm. I'm hoping it still is in colder temps. I don't know if it's possible for a puffy coat to be figure flattering, but this one comes closer than some others. It also doesn't feel heavy or bulky. Overall I'm happy. I like the dark blue color as well. The zipper is a little weird - it connects on the left side instead of the right (which I think is more typical). I hope I get used to it but it's a little awkward now. Sometimes I can zip it quickly but others I fumble. The pockets are double pockets with a smaller zipped pocket inside which is nice. The waist has an additional cinch inside.

I've been on the hunt for a few years trying to find a great winter coat that will keep me warm but not make me look like a giant marshmallow. I tried the "thin" puffer jackets from another well known company and was never impressed with the style. This coat does have a little "poof" to it but nothing that makes you frumpy and the sizing does run larger in my opinion. I'm usually an XS-S in most coats but I had to get an XXS to have a more flattering fit (but I can still layer underneath). The green is such a great color and will go with just about everything. I'm also 5'5" and the length is great as well. If you want a warm, non-frumpy winter coat, this is it! Highly recommend!

Pros: warm, comfortable, silver color is a nice change for the typical LLBean dark colors. Washes/dries well. Cons: Sleeves are short. No zipper guard - zipper rubs against chin. Side pockets: could be deeper and would prefer zipper closure instead of snaps.
