Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Fleece Lined Primaloft Coat

This is the kind of coat you will reach for for your dog walks and errands, soft and feels so good on, has a hood if it turns out you need it. Good for cool but not cold months of travel. The zipper is not flimsy, it works well. There are only two pockets, both outside, but they are deep and have zippers. The fleece is smooth, not difficult to pull on over your clothes, and the arms have a silky lining. However, based on reviews I sized up and it turns out I did not need to. I don't agree it runs small. XL looks like a bag on me so I am exchanging for a Large. I like a generous fit and I think a Large will be generous enough. It is more helpful if you include your height and weight in your review. I am 5'6, 155 lbs. and I tried the XL with a tee shirt and thin pullover.

The jacket is what I had been looking for. A quilted, but low loft look. I didn't want bulky. The color is what was presented in the picture. The only con is the sleeves are snug in a heavy shirt. I really like the length. Just below my knees.

The coat is a perfect fit and cozy warm. My only reason to leave off one star is that I miss an internal zip pocket for my smartphone.

Even though I am a medium size person I always buy a large in LL Bean coats. This one is a little snug in the arms & through the body but I like how light weight & warm it is. Not able to comfortably wear a lightweight sweater under it. Good for going to appointments or shopping which is what I bought it for. Don't like to wear my heavier coats for that. Not really for prolonged wearing outdoors in cold weather at least for me. I was disappointed in the color. Spruce pine looked very different online & in the catalogs. The color is much darker--more like hunter green.

Nice coat but not for very cold weather. As with most of the coats I have bought lately the zipper is of poor quality. I am already having trouble with the zipper getting stuck at the bottom when I go to unzip it. I have already had two the have had the zipper split open and I' be had to get rid of them. You need better quality zippers.

Petite xxs. 5'0, 90 lbs. This coat fit perfectly. Hits my knees covering backside. It hasn't been cold enough to wear it yet, but unless it falls apart, it appears to be well made. Sleeves have smooth lining which is best for going over clothes, but..here's the question, are the sleeves insulated? The fleece for the body will keep my neck and body warm. Live on coast of ME and the winds can be very strong on a cold day.

Love the appearance & fit of coat, but it is not very warm.

It is thin. More suitable for temps in the 40s. Definitely need a heavy thigh length second layer if temps are in the 30s. The fleece lining makes it more challenging to put the coat on and off with a second layer. Coat is tailored nicely, zipper works two ways, and the blue has received compliments by passersby.

Love the length, love the furry type of fleece throughout body and even in hood! But really dislike that arms and pockets don't have at least some kind of fabric lining. With only nylon in arms and pockets, my arms and hands get cold! Overall, L.L. Bean quality is not what it used to be. For example, I always ordered my husband's shirts here, but no more. Sigh.

I am 5'10". I wear a M. The arm length is about 2" too short. I really wish LL Bean made a tall or long size for women to get the proportions right. The jacket is best for late fall (November) but not for frigid winter temps.

I wanted to love this coat but did not find it to be warm at all. I felt like I wasn't even wearing a jacket.

Usually I love my LL Bean items. The positives: looks pretty and warm; has a hood; has elastic around wrist to keep the cold out. The cons: runs very small; the arms fit me, but I could barely move; very tight around the waist. I normally can wear a LL Bean 3x with room to spare. I'm so disappointed because I really wanted it to fit.

I have had this jacket for exactly one year and much of the stitching on the outside of the jacket is split and crinkled/fuzzy. It looks like it needs to be lint rolled but the thread is still attached so there isn't anything to do to fix it. Not quite the quality I'm used to for L L Bean.

Purchased the Petite Large...which was pretty accurate. I loved the coat...however, the warmth level should be downgraded from Warmer to Warm. Just isn't quite good enough! Get rid of the front logo too, please.

Liked the color but the fit wasn't what I expected. The fleece lining made the fit seem tight and the back seams puckered at the waist. Also, I paid over $200 and the attached tag was for $199 with a red sticker marked $149. Something was very wrong so back it went!

fit is okay, not great, but disappointed that they are no longer including an upper zip pocket either outside or inside

For me, this coat is too fitted. I have an apple shape and prefer a relaxed fit. I'm 5'4" and weigh 120 lbs. I ordered a regular small and it was too tight through the body. I hope L.L.Bean will consider making more coats with a relaxed fit which will fit more body types.

I had been eying this coat for a while because I wanted a versatile coat for chilly rainy days. Nice length and slender profile, but for me the medium did not have enough extra space for a warm layer underneath, so it went back. A larger size would be too big overall.

Please make this coat with non-fleece lining!! I love the style and length, but not the static-y fleece lining!! Thank you!

It isn't very warm. I returned it in favor of a down filled coat.

It didn't have the quality that I usually find in LLBean. I was not impressed. I ordered my normal size, and it was too small. I returned it.

Love the length and the fact it zips from the top and the bottom. Thus, makes driving easier. Like the color too. Not liking the cheap plastic zipper as It has gotten hung up and I have to pull so hard I am afraid it will eventually break. Expensive jacket needs a nicer zipper. It's not super warm but I think it will work great to layer.

I bought this for my daughter but we agreed it looked really sloppy and wrinkled when she put it onalmost like she was wearing an old sleeping bag wrapped around her. Perhaps there was not enough fill in it? We were really surprised.

The coat hangs low in the front and high in the back. At least it is warm.

The "medium" in this coat was far smaller than the "medium" om a prior LL Bean coat. Accordingly, I returned the coat for a full refund.
