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

This jacket fits me a little big, but I like having the room. It's excellent. And windproof. And I love the color teal mixed with the blue in the chest pocket. Be nice if it had a little hood for those chili spring mornings walking

This is a failure due to no women's tall sizes. Other fleeces are provided in tall size, but not this one. This is becoming more common with LL Bean for both men and women's clothing.

I am still looking for a windproof fleece - I'm currently wearing an LL Bean version from circa 2005 - with burn holes from campfires. While I liked the jacket and it was a good fit - I did not like the "periwinkle" - when I got it seemed more like an "electric lavender".

I appreciate the wind protection from this jacket, but the inside material is just too stiff and scratchy for me. The jacket also seems to be a size or two too large. The cut of this jacket is very boxy and unflattering. I have tried 2 different colors hoping to overcome the unflattering fit. I prefer the softness and feminine fit of the sweater fleece jacket & don't feel like the wind resistance is enough of a difference for me to pick this jacket over the sweater fleece.

Well made, definitely wind proof, but made me sweat profusely all the time because it wasn't breathable.

I love L.L. Bean's fleece products, but this one fell short (just started a return). It is soft on the outside but has a flat polyester material on the inside. I suggest they do a fleece interior in the future - I want the same coziness against my skin. I never wore this but would have used it for casual every day wear.

I still wear my PXL and Reg L jackets from Bean. But this jacket in XL did not work for me at all. The sleeves were very long, and the jacket was not roomy enough in the chest. I wanted a bone colored jacket, but this color and style were not my taste. My orders usually work out, but this time it was not even close to working.

This was just not flattering. I ordered a petite medium and it was not petite at all. The overall cut was very boxy, the sleeves were too long, and it hit at a really odd unflattering area right across my bum. I also didn't like the material - it wasn't soft.

Jacket feels and sounds like flexible styrofoam. Stiff and kind of crunchy. After one wash, no change. I think I'm done buying jackets made from polyester fleece & similar synthetics. Just wish there were more options in natural fibers, or even blends like poly/cotton. Where did all the old thicker cotton sweatshirt fabric go? I'm not a happy customer.

I had to return this. I wear size 8/10 and a M was huge on me, especially strangely long. I would size down for sure. The blue was also not very flattering.

Nice material for a jacket, but it was coat length- waay too long in my opinion. I returned it.

The jacket ran small. The fleece did not have a soft feel to it. And the seam across the back grabs your shirts. This item is lacking in overall quality and feel compared to my old L L Bean windproof fleece jacket.

Not awesome. The color is awful, not beige or yellow. Just looks dirty. Boxy and huge, itchy and cheap feeling. What a huge bummer.

This is stiff, not very warm and very boxy. When i couldn't fit in my suitcase on the way home, i left it in the hotel....not worth fighting for.

Very disappointed with Women's Mountain Classic jacket. It was made out of very thick stiff fabric I ordered a petite large/ it was very large in. the shoulder area and snug at the waist. I returned this jacket.

I wanted to love this jacket, but it was too small in the chest and shoulders and then too big for me in the waist. I ordered the xs, I could have sized up but instead I returned it because I just didn't love the style on me. Although I felt it was well made trying it on. Sadly I returned this jacket.

Had to return it. Material was too stiff and the sleeves are too narrow for a comfortable fit with a long sleeve top.

I returned this because even though I ordered a size up per reviews this has very narrow sleeves. The only way I could get my arms into it was without a top on under it & I do not have large muscular arms. I also feel across the shoulders might be narrow also. Since it is a jacket this won't work & I felt ordering another size up would not solve the problem. It is too bad because I love the style, color & liked the idea it is windproof.

I wear a large in all LL Bean tops, but this jacket was too small to zip up in a size large. It should have fit, according to the size chart, but I had to return it.

Loved the jacket but had no roominess around lower half. And no "give". I am not that big below the waist. Style is straight down. Would recommend to a slim, well-proportioned woman.

I was eager to receive this jacket, but was sorely disappointed once I saw it and tried it on. The color I ordered -- taupe brown/gray birch -- is nothing like pictured or described. The main part of the jacket is a kind of drab, dirty gray, with some brown undertones. The taupe is also not as pictured. Overall, the color makes me look like a corpse. The description says its "slightly fitted." I would say it's more than slightly fitted, enough to make it feel constricting (though I am tall and thin); and the sleeves are just a bit too short to be comfortable. I considered reordering in another color, but I also think this jacket is considerably overpriced, so I won't bother.

it was nice but not all women are slightly fitted need the fleece in traditional fit !!!

This is a fine jacket in many ways but I will return it. Viewed from the back, it makes hips look wider since it stops at the widest part of the hip. Plus, If it is cold I want my whole torso to be warm.

Stiff, almost itchy! I washed and followed instructions. Did not use fabric softener (per instructions), but just washing did not make it feel broken in. I'm trying to like it, but not having much luck.

This jacket runs a full size smaller than all of LL Bean's other jackets. It is stiff, but performs excellent in the wind and does keep me warm. It just runs way too small, which was a huge disappointment.
