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

It's okay, I prefer different color but it's not available.

Great overall, just what i wanted warm, windproof, streamlined jacket. I got the cream colored one. It gets a 4* because my shirt sleeves get caught in the jacket and pulling them out is a nuisance. I do not have big arms. This jacket would be 5* if sleeves had an inch more of ease for me and maybe a smooth lining. My favorite well-worn fleece jacket (not Bean) has slippery lined sleeves, and only the sleeves are lined.

This windproof fleece jacket is a good idea. However, it is more fitted than most LL Bean jackets. I did read that this jacket is best worn with a light layer but at the time I didn't understand what that meant. I was unable to wear it with my midweight flannel shirt because the sleeves were too snug. I think this jacket would be good with a long sleeve tee shirt or possibly a lightweight sweater. Make sure to look at the picture. If you want a winter coat with room for layers under it this may not be the jacket for you. I hope they make a roomier version with lighter colors. I will be returning this jacket for one of LL Bean's roomier jackets that will comfortably accommodate a sweater or flannel shirt under it.

It's my go to jacket now because I live in a cool and windy place. It does block the wind. The material of the jacket is not as soft and light as it appeared in the photo, I am a bit disappointed but okay with that. It would be nice if this jacket has a hood.

I have been looking for a windbloc fleece for a while. I love the color and generally the fit is.good. Unfortunately, the sleeves are extra long and there's no elastic to hold the sleeve at the wrist. I've never had this issue as usually my arms are long for a lot of sleeves. I bought the large to be able to fit a warm sweater underneath, but I've never had an issue with sleeve length being too long before. Some elastic at the cuff would have solved the issue and allowed me to keep this purchase, but as is, it's gonna have to be returned. I didn't even get to try the windbloc. I don't know if this one was defective?

It looked much better online. It has a strange fit on me. I bought a reg. Medium. That usually fits well but this jacket is too big around the waist. I keep trying it on but will probably send it back.

I do really like this jacket...but, I ordered a large so that there would be a bit of room for the sweater or vest that I often wear inside in cool weather. I need to take even the lightest sweater or flannel shirt off to comfortably slip into this jacket for an outdoor task. It is very comfortable with just a regular longsleeve shirt. Perfect for a walk in the woods.

It ran huge on me in XS which is my usual size. Wish they would make XXS in this.

This didn't really feel cozy. I wasn't a big fan of the texture. Petite small was too small.

I really wanted to love this jacket but just... didn't. The fit is very stiff. Not super cozy and comfortable. Will be returning.

The material is nice, the fit was not. I am 5' and the jacket is too long. That would not be a problem except I am hippy and when I sit it pulls. A nice double zipper would help with the utility. LLBean was always my "go to" for petite, but the cut/fit seems to be changing.

I returned it, inside material made it hard to put on and get off , very annoying! Not comfortable to wear, disappointed, looked nice on line

Very nice

Women have hips. Why can't manufacturers either have a jacket hit at a different spot or give us a dual zipper so we can sit down?

Unfortunately the jacket wasn't for me. I needed a windproof jacket that I could wear over something more than a Tshirt. The next size would have been way too big.

Wish it kept me warmer. You used to have fleece that was made in the US that was both warmer and softer. Please bring it back!

It's difficult to slide my arms into the sleeves. Everything drags on the sleeves . Can only wear with very smooth blouses. The jacket is very nice& warm when I can get it on.

This is a great comfortable coat, but who are the petite sizes made for?? I am 5'1" and wear a PL. The sleeves were 4" too long and I had to pay $22 to have them hemmed so I could wear the jacket. I like the coat and opted to keep it, but would not order another one because of the additional cost for altering it.

WAY too big for me, even though I followed the size chart and bought a size I've purchased before. Having seen the item, I decided that a rain shell with fleece/down layered underneath would be just as good. I already have those, and was going to have to return this jacket anyway, so didn't replace it with a smaller size. Also kind of bulky to jam into a day pack.... A good idea with not-so-great execution.

This jacket is beautiful, both color and fabric. And is certainly windproof. I ordered a plus size and found the arms to be a slim cut. Why would you have a slimmer cut arm on a plus size garment?? The fit was just not right for me and I returned the item--sadly.

I ordered a white and a black jacket. I would have preferred the white, but didn't like the color or design. I kept the black one and like it very much.

+: 1. Style. 2. Warmth. -: 1. Arms are far too constricting and tight. 2. Material in the sleeves makes it incredibly hard to get the jacket on over any kind of long sleeve shirt and makes the fit uncomfortable. 3. A raglan sleeve design would also make for better maneuverability. 4. Medium (which is usually ok for layering) was snug.

I got the petite XL and it fit big. Too big. I am looking for a light weight, windproof jacket and I thought this would be it but it is also very stiff. I'm still undecided if I will keep the jacket or return.

It is not stretchy at all and a little stiff. Looks nice but I tend to grab my old jacket instead of this one.

Very stiff. Nothing like a polartec, which is no longer available.
