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

This coat is super, only problem is a little bit sticky on the zipper. It gets stuck at my neck

I really like the snap closures as an alternative to using the zipper. Sleeves could be roomier to allow for a sweater layer.

This is a great coat. Not too long but still covers your butt, lightweight bust still very warm. My only (small) complaints: I wish it came in other colors. I loved the emerald green color but that only came in the short option. The pockets are a bit too low for me and could be deeper. I love that the hood can come off but sometimes it unsnaps too easy. But overall great warm coat

My only complaint on this coat is that there are no cloth wristbands protection, when the sleeves go up like when driving, the wrist is bare and is cold. Otherwise a nice jacket.

I purchased this coat a few weeks ago, and like everything about it except for the shallow pockets. Winter coats should have deep and comfortable pockets for hands, gloves, phones, dog treats, and even a wallet. I hope LLBean redesigns the pockets on this winter coat to accommodate our needs, and maybe offer a trade-in for those of us who need bigger pockets. Otherwise, a nice warm and comfortable coat.

Very nice jacket. Well made, nice fabrics. Fits well and matches size guide. Flattering shape. Doesn't make you look like a giant puff ball. Warm down to maybe 30 but any lower than that you'll need layers underneath. Happy with my purchase.

This down parka is beautifully made. The medium ran large, so I ended up getting a small. The hood is detachable and hugeit covers my head and eyes. I will probably wear a hat instead of using the hood.

Keeps warm and toasty from the wind and freezing cold temperatures. I love it because it keeps my butt warm. I just wished it had more bigger pockets and a big inside pockets. It has one inside pocket.

Fits good and nice and warm in upstate New York. My wife loves it.

My only complaint is that the instructions for cleaning are in French! Oy!

Excellent for my Michigan winter weather. I do, at times, have a hard time with the zipper.

I read reviews and was happy I did because another person mentioned that they use this coat for recess duty. It is a very warm and great length for a coat. My only complaints are that the pockets are not quite large enough and I have noticed some feather bits on my car seat and on my clothes when I wear it.

This coat is very comfortable and warm. I like everything about it. The only limitation is that the pockets are not very deep - for a coat made for cold weather, this surprised me. Other than the depth, I appreciate the extra zipped compartments within the pockets - just wish they were deeper!

I really like the coat for its warmth since we've had such cold weather. The double pockets were unexpected and are sometimes clumsy to use with heavy winter gloves. I would have liked another pocket that would hold my phone. I'm not sure how the rawhide pull tabs will survive over time and I think they detract from the look of the coat.

The zipper is not easily zipped. It takes careful and slow concentration to get it all lined up correctly, and, the snaps require using both hands and are not easily snapped. Otherwise than that, I love it.

Gererally love this jacket. Occassionally have problem releasing zipper; wish it did not so many promeninet logos LLBean. I enjoy wearing this jacket.

I loved almost everything about this coat. Ig I would have to say the pocket within the pocket is my fav. One thing I don't like, the snaps, specifically on the side pocket. It's difficult to snap closed. If I don't my phone falls out.

Love It. My only complaint is that it advised me to order a certain size but I think I could have gone down. I'm 5'6" 260lb. I ordered a 3x but feel it's a bit loose around the mid section. It's still fits ok. I Would buy from them again.

I bought this jacket over the weekend just in time for our first snow here in southern New Hampshire. It's been super windy and cold and this jacket definitely keeps me warm! I browsed online and decided to go in and try in person to make sure I knew what size I needed and I'm glad I did. They run larger than I expected! I have a larger chest so usually have to size up but not in this jacket! I love the fact that you can tighten around the waist from the inside and the length options are great. I'm 5'6" 160 lbs and got a medium regular and can still wear a hoodie underneath. My only complaint is that the pockets could be a little larger. It's tight for even just my phone and keys. Looking forward to wearing this often!

LLBean colors are not as pretty as they used to be. This coat needs more and better secured pocket space. I'm sure it's plenty warm, though.

Having a heavy weighty coat on in winter is annoying to me, and this coat is very light in weight yet quite warm. I can easily fit a heavy sweater under it. Two complaints, though: the pockets are not deep enough which could have been solved by designing the pockets 1-2" higher. My gloves (and cell phone) tend to slip out. (There is an inner chest pocket that works fine for the phone.) Second: the hood is too "tall" -- when pulled up it falls over my forehead and almost past my eyes. Other than these two things, this is an excellent coat.

Very warm! Love the color! Perfect for my bus duty every morning!

I gave it 4 stars because although it is warm, the zipper gets stuck constantly. The piece that goes into both zippers doesn't go all the way down easily and if you don't get it right the zipper will get stuck and it is very hard to undo. It takes about 5 to 7 times to get the zipper piece srtaight to the bottom of the zipper.

Good combination of light-weight and warm. The length is also a plus. I marked it down because the zipper can be finicky, sometimes requiring a couple of attempts to engage, the pockets are a bit small to easily hold thick gloves, and, if fully zipped up, the stiff top edge of the coat is uncomfortable under the chin.

I live in WI, and this parka is perfect - not too heavy/bulky but still keeps me warm! Like some others mentioned, the pockets are small! Too small that my iPhone 12 mini even got dropped a couple times already. Well, I just should button the pocket but since I don't have to for my other coats or jackets, I forget then my phone gets dropped! Other than that, the parka is perfect!
