Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Windproof Fleece Jacket

I wish it had a hood. Otherwise, great fit and stylish

I'm usually a S but the S is too big (baggy, long). I ordered the XS and it's too small. I could not wear anything but a light layer under it. I consider myself pretty standard size S so I hope this helps other buyers. I'm 5'7, 140 lbs.

Too long for me without the double zippers, also slightly fitted, so it's snug against the middle. Returned.

Nicely made, soft & comfortable , good quality as most LLBean products but runs quite small.

I have two of these, and love them. The only critique would be that the fit is quite boxy. The fabric is a little stiff, but tolerable, because that is what does the job then it comes to the warmth, windbreak and has some rain protection. Will take those qualities any day, over any critical comments. After searching high and wide for a jacket that is lined, fleece, longer, and fights wind, rain and cold, my suggestion to LLBean is the following: Consider creating a longer Women's Mountain Classic Windproof Fleece Jacket, much like the longer version of your current fleece longer jacket. Women require many different jackets in our wardrobe; different colors, styles, fabric choices, whether you are in the barn, at the beach, or downtown, must have suitable clothing. Thank you for considering this option.

I usually wear a petite Large (140 lbs) in most of my clothing purchases from LLB. The jacket fit well, sleeves and jacket a good length although a bit snug around the hip area when fully zippered. Going up a size would have been too large.

It's a beautiful jacket. Well made. Unfortunately the sleeves are too long so l will be returning it.

Pros: Love the navy color...deep, rich blue. Nice fit for petites. I always struggle with sleeves too long and this jacket is perfect. Good sized pockets and expandable bottom. Cons: A little on the heavy side. I like my fleece jackets lighter for layering.

Very good quality but wish it was a little roomier. I like to wear turtlenecks under and it seems a little more snug than I would have liked

I bought this and returned for a smaller size. Although I was excited for this to come in, I ultimately decided to return this because it felt too stiff and rigid for me personally.

Jacket is great in keeping out the wind but difficult to get on and off if you layer it with a sweater needs a lining

This jacket is a little " stiff" and I sized up based on reviews which was a great move! So I always wear either small or med( if I want to layer) but I ordered a large this time and fits like a small medium! Esp the sleeves these days very narrow arms- makes layering difficult! And I know I'm not growing- but jackets are very short these days This one in large allows to hit just below belt/or top of jeans! Has I bought my usual size- it would have been cropped and tight arm sleeves! The color matches my new hiking boots as well. Pretty salmon color! Wish was a little differ ( assume that's the water bottles ?) hoping it's wind proof as well!!

Jacket is a bit crunchy, for lack of a better word. It's soft to the touch, but when wearing it, it feels as if there's cardboard woven into the fabric somehow. For the price, I'd expect something better.

It's a nice jacket, it's windproof even after washing but I didn't put in dryer. It was a bit softer after washing but windproof material isn't as soft as a fleece. I wear it in MI spring and it keeps me comfortable. It has deep pockets so my phone is safe!

Petite Large, is a bit big on me but worth it for sale price & color. A petite medium would have been ideal. The adjustable hem is excellent and the feel of fabric and ease of movement are great! Nice pockets for everything you need while dog walking. A perfect in between the sweater fleece and the air light quarter snaps. Easily layering underneath and it really does keep up to 15-20mph winds at bay! A definite go to jacket.

I bought this to replace the wind block fleece jacket I bought many years ago. While it keeps the wind out, it lets the cold in. Still, it's a comfy jacket for when it's cool but not cold out.

I have this jacket in two colors - I will say the cream colored one fits a little more snug than the dusty rose colored jacket. But other than that, it's a nice jacket that is true to size and is warmer than it seems like it will be.

I wear this jacket with a down vest underneath. Keeps me toasty warm and the jacket really blocks the wind. I only wish it came in a car coat length.

It does break some breeze, not intended to be a warm jacket. Overall, it is as described.

I like this jacket. It fits as I thought it would, it does seem wind resistant, and it washed well. I wish it had a 2-way zipper, but that's not keeping me from njoying this jacket. I recommend it.

I purchased this last month in a size large, my normal size, and almost could not zip it up.

One of my beefs with women's jackets (and this is not just with LL Bean, but other brands as well) is they are too snug in the armpits and flare out at the bottom. This applies to this jacket although it is not too bad with this one. Once I wore it, the snug armpits stretched out some and it was more comfortable. I like the color, my phone fits in the chest pocket, side pockets are roomy.

I received this jacket a few days ago. It's too warm yet to test it out. I bought the blue color which is lovely. The material is soft. I am 5'61/2 inches tall and 117 pounds. I bought a PS because my arms are not that long, and I like a shorter length jacket. I usually buy RS. I don't like the orange zipper grips.on front chest pocket and waist pickets. Why orange ? Also the chest pocket would be more attractive made with same material. Why also is LL Bean Logo so prominently displayed? One reason I was always happy with LL Bean was the logo was displayed in a less obvious way. I like the idea that it is lightweights and not bulky. I would like to see the style in light grey.

I bought this jacket for cooler weather and for my Alaskan cruise. It keeps me warm on the ship deck when I don't need a down jacket for cold weather.

Bought this to travel to Scotland. Good weight, kept me warm with two thin layers underneath, or just one layer when chilly inside. Only wish it was cut with a cinch at the waist for some shape.
