Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Fleece Lined Primaloft Coat

It fits great and it can easily be layered over a sweater. However it is not as warm as I hoped.

Too small for a petite medium, I have to return to exchange for a petite large. My regular size is always petite medium. Plus it is thin for a coat. Can't wear for a weather below 45 degrees.

I wasn't as impressed with my Priamloft Coat as I am with other Coats I've gotten from L L Bean. The coat ran smaller, and just didn't feel it had the quality my other coats have

As another customer mentioned, the sleeves were too tight. I also didn't like that the zipper that could unzip from the bottom had a handle that hung down in the middle.

I thought the coat had a white lining in the hood. It also sticks out on the side seams. It is also lighter than I thought it would be. I do like the fit and comfort when wearing it. Mary Finney

This jacket is not as well made as the Columbia version.

For the past 2 years LL bean has had such underwhelming colors in its fall/winter collection. I ordered the black and it just looked like every other coat I have. Why was the "Spruce Pine" color on clearance and sold out in October? That is a prime winter color. C'mon LL bean!

Fit was a little snug for the size. Overall not very comfortable when zipped.

I did not keep this coat. Not as heavy as I was looking for, and the body fit was pretty slim when zipped.

I wanted to love this coat - it's lightweight and the lining feels great. But I thought it would be warmer than it is, based on reviews, and there's no flap over or under the zipper so the cold wind sweeps right through. It would be a good option in less harsh winters.

I love the color, but don't like the fit. It also lacks pockets. It just has the two - one on each side. It is warm, but not for cold cold weather.

I wanted to keep this coat because it was lightweight but the upper part was tight. This coat runs small and there was no flexibility around the back and shoulders.

I loved the coat when I received it in the mail. The color was right and the fit was good. In fact, I purchased it in 2 sizes, planning on keeping the one that had the best fit. The problem was with the type of zipper. It came in two parts. Couldn' determine how to use it, although I certainly tried.

It runs small and the zipper is poor quality. Sending it back.

I really like the color of the coat, its inside fleece lining (there is no fleece lining in the sleeves though), and the fact that it's very light. But I am not sure yet if I won't return it. I am 5'4" tall and weigh 180 lbs. I chose 1X as size for this coat. It is true to its size, the sleeve length is perfect, but the armholes are quite tight. If I wear a t-shirt underneath, it's a nice fit, but I don't see myself wearing only a t-shirt underneath a coat in the winter. I've tried it on with a thicker sweater, and it feels just okay, but not perfect. Otherwise it's really a nice coat.

This coat finally came back into stock. I thought it would be perfect and I had Bean Bucks to spend too. It's just not a good fit for me. The bust is snug, the shoulders are good, below the waist a 'little snug' so it does not have that uniform look when zipped up. Looks loose here and snug there! I find that over the years a size small with L L Bean has gotten smaller. My weight has not changed. I wonder what other's think? Carbon Navy is a lovely color and the warm lining is the perfect weight.

The coat is warm and I love the double zipper. I ordered the Fleece Lined Primaloft Coat because the coat I was discarding had the same type of zipper. I have had it for over 29-years. With the Fleece Lined Primaloft Coat, I have to hold the zipper just right to get it to zip correctly or it will pull up one side unevenly and is hard un-zip to restart. I am very patient, so I have to take my time and sometimes waste time to get it right. I did not want to return it, because I love the concept and have many times had the need to unzip from the bottom to get money or my cell phone from my pants pocket. All in all, it is warm while shoveling snow. I just wish I had gloves made of the same fleece line.

Love color (blue). Ordered a size larger knowing I would wear extra layer underneath as needed for colder weather. Great for most days this winter in NE. BUT - as noted in other reviews, there is a disconnect between lining and outer shell that results in an unbecoming hang at the hemline. Was going to return for another of same coat until I saw other reports of this. Like the coat enough to keep it and try to minimize the problem. Quality is very disappointing for LL Bean product.

I loved the color and the warm lining for winter walks. I liked that it would cover to mid thigh but the sticking on the inner fleece didn't really mesh up with the outer shel so there was this weird bunching happening round the back. Not flattering and I would have been constantly trying to fix it while I wore it. Sooooo sadly back it went.

I ordered an XL and it fits with little wiggle room for layers under it. I wish it was thicker for northern Wisconsin winter. Sleeve length is great. Pockets are deep. Overall happy with it but definitely a lightweight jacket.

Didn't wow me in person after shopping online. The soft blue turned out to be drab, which is the last thing I need for winter. It fit frumpy around my shoulders and almost too tight around the hips (but I have curves). Nice long coverage, though. I didn't like that the only option to secure it in front was to reach down low to zip it up - would be nice to have buttons and a zipper for more ease and flexibility. It did feel cozy inside and I contemplated keeping it for the feel despite its unremarkable appearance. I'm exchanging for a different style all together. The return process is impressive- feels like a relic from the past to receive excellent customer service by phone!

The coat looks great, fits well and is true to size. However, about two weeks after I got it, a tear appeared in a seam near the left lower pocket. This is my first LL Bean purchase and I'm pretty disappointed.

This coat is not as heavy duty as I thought, for the price. You can't wear a lot of layers under as it's cut slim.

I ordered the Spruce green, a lovely color. As I put the coat on the fleece began to cling and bunch as it had no anchor point. I did not want to be pulling at my coat at every turn so am returning it. My suggestion for improvement would be to retain fleece in upper bodice and at waist use a quilted nylon so coat does not cling.

I ordered my usual size and it was at least a size too small. I'm returning. Otherwise it's a nice, lightweight coat.
