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

Too constricting in the arms to add layers underneath and still be active. I am a frequent wearer of the old style of their windstopper fleece for women and decided to return this one and hope for something better.

Sleeves very narrow and I find that,with a light sweater, I cannot my arms in an be comfortable. Returned.

Not windproof or wind resistant in any way! Very sad for the price!!!

This jacket is so cute. Wanted to love it but sleeves are so tight i have to return it. Would have only been able to wear with short or sleeveless shirt.

Did not care for the fabric, it had a strange touch and was stiff. I was looking for a jacket for upcoming Cruise to Norway but this was not it.

So disappointed the sleeves on this jacket are not lined ( same as out layer ) , so it makes it difficult to put on with a long sleeve layer underneath ,sadly I returned this item .

I would love to provide a review but unfortunately I received an email my item was shipped and would receive it yesterday but they created a label and it never shipped. Asked for a replacement and was going to take another 7 days to receive. I cancelled order! Too bad!

Unattractive. Never took it out of the package. Picture not an accurate representation.

Bought 1x,too tight in the chest returned but because I used paypal could only get gift card. Bought 2x with gift card ,still too tight and sleeves too long but could be altered had it fit. Returned again for a gift card,bought 3x,not tight but way too big. Returned and now I have just a giftcard.

The jacket was very stiff and not at all soft on the inside.

Sleeves were too short and fabric was very "crunchy" which i imagine offered wind protection but was not what I was looking for

Roomy enough to wear over a sweater, definitely cuts out the wind, comfortable relaxed fit. Will be wearing this all spring and fall.

I'm very small, but the sleeves were uncomfortable and tight. Nope.

I returned this jacket. It was impossible to wear a tee shirt or anything else under it because the sleeves are tight, unlined and impossible to pull over an underlayer.

2x was too big, 1x too small, had to return both. Wish it was sized better.

Not sure why you changed how things are designed as far as sizing goes. The shoulders are way too tight and the sleeves way too short but the rest fits fine. Even with just a t-shirt on I was extremely constricted in the shoulder/arm areas. Never had this problem with the older style jackets I have bought from LLBean over the years (more than a few I should add) including a windproof fleece jacket that is probably at least 15 years old by now. It seems you have made the shoulder areas in a lot of your clothes just too small. Yes I will be returning this jacket. I may go the outlet store and see if I can try on a men's version as I really need a windproof layer.

Even buying a larger size did not give the freedom of motion in the upper arms that outer wear requires. The rest of the jacket looked boxy. The fabric was too thin to be a primary outer layer. Glad they finally put a Napoleon pocket on the women's version, but I returned it.

I wanted to like this but had to return it. Shoulder area is poorly designed. Even the larger size I chose did not have enough ease to allow for free arm movement. Also the fabric was too thin for a main outerwear layer.

Bought same fleece last year this years version is 3" too long arms and about 4" bigger in body. I returned it. Beautiful blue color I wanted to love it but returned the fleece
