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

Purchased the Taupe Brown in PXL. Sleeves are a little long but that's normal. I love the chocolate milk color, and the blue accents were beautiful. But the ivory patch on the upper pocket is like a neon arrow pointing at one side of the chest and screaming LOOK AT ME! I thought it was a little strange in the photos, I couldn't do it IRL. So sad, it's so soft and warm!

Really blocks the wind. Fit is close to body and arms are almost too tight. Ordered my usual size medium.

Very warm and comfortable! The fit is nicely roomy in the arms and shoulders. Be warned, everything in a barn sticks to the black - order another color.

I normally wear a 2x in sweaters/hoodies for a baggy fit, but I decided to size up for this purchase since it'll be worn over shirts. The fit is a little odd; the chest/underarms/upper back areas are a bit snug, yet the waist/hips runs big. Because I sized up, I could understand the waist/hip area running a little big, but if I had purchased my normal size, I doubt I could have kept it. I can barely stretch my arms out in front of me without the back/underarms feeling super tight and that's with it being sized up. I have a small chest, too. It is comfortable enough to keep, however, and the quality of the material is very nice. I'm 5'4 and 220 lbs.

I like the jacket a lot but the upper arms are tight and the sleeves are a bit too long. A little disappointing.

Material is comfortable and warm. It's very fitted (5'2" and 130), so tighter at the hips/waist. Overall, I like it and did not return it but it is stiffer material and fitted so not flexible.

feels like there has been a change in the quality of windproofing

The size is more fitted than previous fleece jackets I've purchased. For a jacket a more relaxed fit is definitely more comfortable. Love the colors

This jacket is cozy, warm, and definitely stops the wind. The only deficit is that there is no hood.

Love this jacket! Happy I ordered a L so I can fit a sweater or fleece under it, definitely fitted.

I returned this item because the color was not right for me. I ordered the same item in navy blue. It fit great and felt very comfortable.

It is much too hot right now in the Central Valley of California to wear my new windproof fleece jacket. I will check it out when it starts to cool off. It looks terrific.

I ordered the only color left which was black. I did not care for the color on me nor did I like the material. I think it would have been plenty warm, but the jacket fit and looked like a sweater more than a jacket. I ordered another fleece jacket at the same time and liked it much better.

Love this jacket. It stands up to the increasing winds of Maine. The color is what I was hoping. The material is a little stiffer than I would like but as long as it keeps the wind out, I'm okay with it. Totally recommend anyone trying this jacket!

I absolutely loved the color Taupe Brown/Gray Birch and the fit of this jacket - however - the huge patch on the front just ruined the look in my opinion. If you made it all one color in the front it would have been perfect. I just could not wear it with that big cream colored patch.

This jacket is perfect for cool New England spring & fall weather. I normally wear a size small, however, I wanted to wear a sweater or sweatshirt underneath it, so I ordered a medium, which was perfect. The cut of the sleeves is somewhat narrow, so the bigger size helped. If you want to layer, going up a size will probably be needed.

The fit is unusual, tight in shoulders & chest, long arms even in a petite, wider at bottom. I tried on everything in the store from small to large in regular & petite. I'm 5'4", 134 lbs. petite medium was perfect without layers so got the petite large to add layers. It runs long which I like. Needs inside pockets and move the logo to a side bottom of jacket. It's warm without bulk & blocks the wind.

I like the jacket however fit is a little tight for a medium, I have bought many things in a medium and this did not seemed to be sized like the others

I ordered the multi-colored taupe. It is a nice color. The fit through the bodice was good but the arms were too tight for my comfort. I sent it back.

This jacket really is warm, even when the wind is blowing. I get cold easily but I was comfortable at 45 - 50 degrees.

Very good at protecting against the wind. Keeps you warm in 30-50 degree weather.

This is a gorgeous jacket. Very warm, and the white/off white looks chic. Bought it for my 97 year old mother as she always feels cold. I did return it, but it's because my mother is always in a wheel chair, so you need to have a jacket or sweater that can unbutton or unzip from the bottom so as to not be all bunched up while sitting. Wish it had dual zippers so the bottom zipper could be opened up for when she's sitting in a chair/wheelchair.

Ordered a medium but replaced it with a large. The large was a little too bulky with a sweater underneath. Loved that it is wind resistant. The llBean insignia is too large. Really wanted to love this jacket Might fit other women better.

If only the jacket had a hood, I would rate it a 5.

Looks great. I think I will get a lot of wear out of it. I should have sized up simply because I had read that the sleeves are a bit snug which is true . Love the quality.
