Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Fleece Lined Primaloft Coat

I love the coat! The color, the length, the deep zippered pockets, I wish the arms were roomy enough to fit over sweat shirts and bulky sweaters.

One of the features I love about LL Bean coats is the extra pockets. Sadly, this coat doesn't have any. There are no inside pockets to zip your keys, credit card or phone into. The only pockets are your standard two outside ones which don't help when you head downtown on foot or go for a hike. I am so surprised and disappointed in Bean for not adding this feature to this great coat. Overall the coat is stylish and warm, I just wish they had added extra pockets/pocket.

Bought XL to make sure sleeves were long enough! Love the jacket seems warm enough so far but temps haven't been in the minuses yet! Only fault not enough pockets! The hand pockets are roomy but not to hold your phone in!

Very satisfied. Coat is as advertised. My only wish would be for it to have chest high pocket for phone.

Nice coat but I returned it because it is too fitted through the upper body. Overall It fit perfectly but there was no wiggle room.

I chose a larger plus size (size 3X) than I normally wear. I like for my outerwear to be a little large so I can move my arms easily when I drive. I also will be wearing turtle necks and a sweater on cold days. I found this size to fit reasonably well except for the sleeves. They were tight with a shirt and sweater on. Try to cut the sleeves a bit wider. All in all, it's a nice coat and the hood is great, too.

I wish I'd read one of the reviews before I ordered. At 5'2" and 140 lbs. I am usually a SM/Med. and definitely petite (for length). I couldn't even close the Petite Medium coat enough to zipper it. I just ordered a Petite Large and hope this works because the coat appears to be just what I need.

Really nice coat however the zipper can be a little tricky sometimes.

The coat is warm and styled nicely. The fleece lining was soft. Unfortunately, the fleece lining made it hard to put on and also curled the bottom of the coat. The shoulders were also a bit tight even though I sized up one size. LLBean pimaloft coats and jackets are my favorite and go to when I need a coat. I was disappointed and surprised that it didn't fit as well as expected.

This coat is slightly fitted so I ordered a large instead of my usual medium in LLBean sizing., and it fits perfect. I've read all the reviews but experienced no issues with the zipper, and have plenty of room in the upper arms (even with my chubby old lady arms). I'm able to wear a thick sweater fleece underneath with no problems across the hips or bust. The hood stays up in a strong wind. My only real issue is with LL Bean not using the ratings any more. This coat is warm this morning at 30 degrees and a breeze with a base layer, hat, and hood up. It will be warmer with a second layer, add a neck gaiter, gloves, and warm leggings. I really love the length as it hits right above my knee. If I had to pick one word for this coat, it would be substantial. Comparing to another company's 600 gm down long length lightweight coat (think down sweater but longer), it feels heavy and substantial with a much better hood. For reference, I'm 5'6", 158 lbs , size 12 and the large fits me with room for a heavy layer. Hope this review was helpful.

I love everything about this coat but the zipper, it's perfect for cool Spring and fall weather. It's light weight, comfortable and nice fit. I gave it 4 stars because the zipper is a pain.

Very comfortable and true to size. I love the fit and the way it looks. I only wish it was a little warmer.

I ordered the P XL because I am short waisted even though I'm 5'5". The coat was just what I hoped for--light weight but warm. I wanted to be able to layer and sadly once the coat is zipped, I'm unable to wear a sweater underneath, only a long sleeve tee. I would order the 1X but the chest measurement is the same.

Love the coat, but the fit was a bit off. It fits just like a size medium blazer/shirt, so not much room underneath for layers. Ended up getting a large petite because the medium regular was too small, and the large was too long in the arms.

This coat is super cozy and a good length. I am returning it because it is too snug across the chest. I purchased the same size as the tops I buy from LL Bean. I clearly needed to size up on this one though.

I like the jacket a lot, but honestly would have expected more "bells and whistles" for the price. More than just two pockets, wrist cuffs with thumb holes. The material, weight, and comfort are good, and my husband says he likes the cut.

Love the jacket but thought it would be warmer? More like a winter coat? Temperature ratings would be helpful on the listing. But it's a very nice light fall jacket.

Loved this jacket wanted it to work, but sadly had to return. Color is great, weight of jacket was what I wanted , but it was too long for a 5' lady and snug in the abdomen area. It said it was slightly fitted, but a little more fitted than I was expecting. So sad!

Great coat. It's much warmer than it feels. I was looking for a coat for Chicago fall and spring seasons, and this one is sure to last a few years! I've tested it out in 40 degree weather without any layers and it's kept me very warm. Only con is the zipper - it doesn't glide very well and it's hard to use.

Stylish design made of quality material. Runs a bit small which can making layering with a sweater difficult. Particularly the depth of the armhole needs to be increased.

I was specifically looking for a longer, warmer coat that did not have down in the lining, and this met the requirements! It didn't seem like it would be warm from the description, but it surprised me!

I Love this coat. Sadly, the black fleece lining sheds and gets on all my clothes! I still wear it all the time, but the shedding is annoying.

Very warm, light. Warmer than my old one without the fleece. Zipper a little funky.

I like this coat more than I thought. It is slimming even with fleece lining. I like the 3/4 length for walking in winter. It is a nice coat for non-sports outings like dining, church etc. Fits true to size. The zipper is a little picky, but I like the two-way zipper for its ruggedness. I miss a chest pocket for my phone, and I would like to see this coat in more vibrant and lighter colors. I'm done with dull.

It seems well-made and is comfortable, but I wish it also had snaps. Since it's a longer than a typical coat, it would be nice to be able to snap for a quick closure instead of having to zip the entire thing up.
