Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Airlight Full Zip Jacket

Was very excited to find these light weight jackets. Good colors, great fit, I purchased it in 3 colors. Unfortunately I cut the tags from one and took a walk around the neighborhood. Within the hour there was a snag and fabric pull at the bottom of the jacket. Really didn't come into contact with anything that should have done that. Will be returning the other two and the fabric seems inordinately delicate and I'm not engaged in highly physical activities when I wear something like this.

I have 2 other airlight jackets purchased 5ish years ago and they are much better quality than the current one I purchased today. The current version is way thinner (you can feel the insulation between the horizontal seams is really nothing compared to the prior version) and just with 1 wash snagged in MULTIPLE places. I don't have any snags on either of the other 2 which I've washed countless times. 100% not worth $90!

Beautiful jacket ruined by advertising logo on front

I have several of the airlight pullovers, and love them. I've been wanting a full-zip for a while so I finally decided to splurge and ordered one. I received it today. The fabric feels lighter than my pullovers. I know I wanted light, but this seems almost like wearing a t-shirt. Also, I bought a petite, and the sleeves are down to my knuckles. I compared the length to the airlight pullover I bought last year, which is a regular large, and they're the same length. That's ok, but the elastic wrist opening is larger on the new one, so the sleeves just hang on me. I would have to roll them up, something I haven't needed to do on any of my others. I thought the price would be worth it, but I'm disappointed, and am returning it.

Seemed to run large. I love my 1/4 snaps, but the Full zip was almost impossible to get started and the fabric felt thin, so I returned it. Not up to normal standards of LL BEAN. sorry to say that. Just my humble opinion.

This jacket is simply not acceptable at this price point. Stitching along zipper does not allow for proper drape of the front panels.

I've bought many of your women's fleece jackets over the years and this is the first time I was VERY disappointed with the quality for the price point. I'm returning this jacket and hope this review helps others not mage the sane mistake.

I really wanted to love this, I had been waiting for a full zip Airlight for women! The fit was just odd, kind of hung there. Also, the pockets on the side seams stuck out strangely. Unfortunately I took it back. If you can fix the pockets I will be back!

Not worth the price, frankly, with poor pocket placement. They're set too far back to comfortably put one's hands in them. Disappointing. Still debating whether to return.

The zipper is cheap, fragile plastic, totally unworthy of LLBean. It broke the second time I wore the jacket: the zipper tab came off in the middle of the jacket because the zipper teeth had crumbled. Total waste of money.

I had to return this. The material was very light weight (which reviews said) but was just flimsy and felt cheap, fit was good.

This jacket runs huge. Though labeled a petite, the sleeves are so long that they completely cover my hands. I don't even know if sizing down would solve the sleeve length problem. There is some serious quality control issues going on here.

Ordered the purple. Was expecting a deep purple. It was a faded, washed out color. The color you would expect from a old garment not a new one. The fabric was flimsy. You could see light through it. Also did not like feel of fabric.

This was big disappointment. I bought it to replace the previous style you had that had a hood and no zippered pockets. This thing is a thin cheap fabric. Long with ridiculously long sleeves. I was shocked to find that the pockets had zippers...surely that is a mistake on a light weight jacket like this. Plus the pocket openings were too small due to the zippers and my hands get scratched trying to fit them into the pockets. My hands are slim too. Awful tailoring. I will be returning it.

Huge disappointment the item arrived in wrong color and was damaged in several places.

I bought this jacket 5 years ago for my daughter in small, it was a great jacket, the fabric stood well all this years. I recently purchased a new jacket for my daughter in small and in medium for me. They are so oversized, even the arms are disproportionately wide. I would have returned them but as soon asnI got them I washed them. What a disappointment!

Not sized like prior products purchased. Not of quality and uniform size of LL Bean products.

I needed to replace my Fitness Fleece jacket but they are discontinued, so customer service recommended this jacket. I had to return it as it doesn't compare. The horizontal stripes add pounds and the elastic around the bottom is too tight. Please bring back the Fitness Fleece!

I love my old full zip airlight. The zipper works perfectly. But the zipper on this new airlight is not right. Once engaged, the zipper is very hard to start to pull up. Once you get past that first hurdle, the zipper works fine. Then disengaging the zipper at the bottom is stupidly difficult too. I struggle with weakness in my hands sometimes and a zipper just should not be that hard to work! I exchanged the first jacket hoping it was a fluke, but the zipper performed the same for the second jacket.

Until the zipper started to fail, this was my favorite light weight jacket. C'mon LLBean. You can do better than this!

Great jacket but the zipper was stuck where it connects, I fumbled with it for 5 minutes, finally got it zipped then un zipped it to take off the jacket, and I couldn't get it uncoupled, thought I was going to have to sleep in it. So of course I returned it..I want an exchangebut I'm still waiting to hear from L.L. Bean with a jacket with a working zipper.
