Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Down Parka

Will be my go-to coat. Much warmer than I thought it would be (for Wisconsin winters). And I believe I'll be able to wear it for outdoor sports and for casual times with dresses/skirts. My only problem is with the zipper. It doesn't zip very well. Might send it back and request another coat unless it starts getting better. It's difficult to get the zipper started.

I used to have the Maine Warden's parka years ago and it was one of the warmest jackets that I owned. This jacket is so toasty and very lightweight. Also the hood fits just right. Love the "double pockets" that allows me to zip up keys or gloves while allowing me to also have room to put my hands in. Love this jacket!

I usually never write reviews but this coat was such a great investment for me. Being a broke college student in Central Pennsylvania, I needed a coat that would look good, feel light and be a little easy on the wallet! This coat provides all that and more. It instantly warms me up against the cold here (it's only mid December now but so far it's holding up) and has tons of pockets for storage space. I do feel like the hood is a little too big for me, but I may have not figured out how to use it properly yet too. I bought this during a sale for 134 USD and let me tell you it's been money well spent! I purchased the nautical navy color and I think it suits my olive undertones and black hair. I've gotten a ton of compliments for it too! I would highly recommend it!

This was a gift for my 86 year old mother. She's a size 10, the Small fit her perfectly, and the blue color is beautiful. The length is great as she likes a jacket to cover her bottom. I almost didn't order it due to negative reviews regarding the zipper. I decided to take a chance, hoping the issue had been resolved, and I'm so glad I did - the zipper works just fine! Most importantly, she loves it!!

The coat is very well made with many different features. It's warm and looks great

Adore this coat and will be wearing it for years!!! The Navy blue is a classic color that will never go out of style. I wear it open a lot because I'm always in and out of my vehicle during the day. It is stylish and fits me perfect. Although I am short, I have a "regular" size torso and arms. I tried the petite in a medium at first and that was too short between the shoulders and waste for my body's. The regular in a Medium fits perfect. I can wear a sweatshirt underneath with plenty of room to manoeuvre. Highly recommend! I live in Northern NY and this will absolutely be warm enough through the winter.

This coat is very warm and not heavy. It is the perfect coat for me and I was looking for a while. I purchased the kelp, love the color.

This is a perfect winter coat. It's light but very warm. So pleased with my purchase!

Wearing this is like walking around in a cozy, cold-defying down comforter. At the same time, the fabric is so rugged that I don't have to worry about tears. It's handsome, too - I think that the catalog photo doesn't do it justice! I also appreciated the fact that the LL Bean logo was on a piece of fabric that I could remove, as I don't like serving as a walking advertisement. As for sizing, the petite size gave me the shorter sleeve length that I want, and though for most clothes I order Medium, in this case Large was a good choice as it allows room for the thick sweaters I need to wear in the winter, as the homes I visit are often chilly.

I usually don't write reviews, but I'm so impressed with the quality I feel I need to write this. I bought this coat two months ago For my wife. It's the best coat She ever had. She is 5'2"118 pounds I ordered the medium Pettit. Fits her perfectly, super warm. I recommend this for anyone that needs a high quality and warm coat. By the way I also ordered one for myself, I left a review for the men's one.

Perfect classic llbean winter Parka ,love

Have been looking for a long down coat for winter, this has been warm so far. Feels like a big warm blanket. The waist cinch is great and I LOVE the double pockets!

Being on the top end of the plus sizes for this brand, I was nervous to order this coat. I've had trouble with many a coat in the past from many brands I trust. Either the arms are too short or it feels like a sausage casing. Neither were true of this coat!! It fit perfectly and there was even a little room left to wear something underneath besides a solid set of spanx and a body suit. I can move, I can layer, I can jump with joy! And I did just that when I slipped this coat on. It's a beautiful color and a classic style that I will enjoy for many years. THANK YOU L.L. BEAN!

Coat is warm but doesn't look over-stuffed. Have cinched waist and looks very stylish. Shell is soft to touch, no crinkle noise. Coat is light to handle. Pockets placed at good height for hand warming. Zippered pockets great for security of items. Snaps great to maintain gloves & hat when coat is hung. Zipper works easily. No aroma. Thrilled with purchase. Lots of compliments. Only improvement would be to make a few inches longer for frigid dog walks.

Wonderful quality made jacket. Fits excellent. Would highly recommend. . L L Bean is the best and has never disappointed me.

I was looking for a coat that was long enough to keep me warm, but also easy to drive in, and this fits the bill. Love the fit and color too...

This mountain classic parka is perfect for snowy, cold, windy, dog walks. I am very happy with it. But there is one little thing...does anyone else have trouble with the snaps? I just cannot for the life of me figure out why they are so difficult to line up to snap. Yes they do work - I have to put my hand in the pocket then press it together. Odd but not a show stopper - this parka is still 5 stars in my book!

I ordered both an XS and a S because I wasn't sure which size to get in the mountain classic parka. I wanted to be sure I could layer warm clothes beneath. Both the XS and the S seemed almost identical in size and both fit ok, but I kept the small. I have a very slim figure all the way down and the length of coat goes almost half way to my knees, completely covering hips. Arms are perfect length for me. Snaps are a bit stiff to snap, but they are ok. The most important consideration for me was the zipper and this zipper suits me well, easy to use, large and easy to grasp. Yes, as another reviewer mentioned, the zipper pull is on the less-often used side but it presents no problem to me at all. Pull the zip up with your left hand instead of your right and the flaps do not get in the way at all. The kelp green color is very nice, for me, the coat looks good, fits well, is warm and light. Cuffs and hood work well, and multiple pockets are great. I am very pleased with this coat, and I do tend to be a picky person. I can find no fault with this one !

Was a bit skeptical to get this but I love it! I previously ordered the winter warmer jacket in XS and it's huge on me so I was afraid I'd have the same problem but the XXS fit well on me, especially with the help of the draw cord at the waist. I was also worried about the zipper based on other reviews but mine works perfectly fine, and to be honest the winter warmer jacket has a horrible zipper compared to this. The coat hits mid-thigh for me and the sleeves are a little long but I'd rather have them longer than too short. The side pockets actually have an additional zippered compartment which I recently discovered! I'm wearing this in about 30-40F weather and it keeps me super warm, I don't feel the cold at all. The coat is also very light and appears to be water resistant. Great purchase.

Not that it is a reason to purchase this fantastic jacket, but - I do get many compliments on it. I am very impressed with the coziness and just how warm it is. Mine is a petite S and length is ideal. Went with the olive green and glad I did! Hood falls over my full head, adding to the warmth. I wear it both open and zipped, yay, options! We live in a high desert so winter is the real deal and hangs out for quite awhile - though our closets are stocked with puffy jackets of various brands, this has quickly risen to the top of my 'I a wearing that one' list!

This is the best winter coat I've ever owned. It is stylish, light, and warm. I have always loved fur collars, but there was always big gaps on the sides for air to get through.This coat's hood is padded, and tight to the head. The pockets are great, because the front ones do not have a zipper for your hands to grate on; so warm and cozy. Behind these, are zippered pockets to keep your keys, cards and Chapstick in total security. There is an inside pocket for your phone or camera. The colors are nice, it is slightly fitted, and runs a little big. Comfort personified. Thank you, LL Bean..

I have always bought cheap "puffer" style jackets for myself and decided to treat myself to a good winter coat this year. I couldn't be happier with my choice. I've received so many compliments about the color (navy) and the jacket fits perfectly. We just had a snow and ice storm where I live and this jacket kept me warm and dry while I shoveled - temperatures were around 30 degrees, which isn't abnormally cold, but I was wearing only a t-shirt underneath! If you want to do something nice for yourself this winter, buy this jacket!

Thrilled to find a warm coat in a petite size. Generous in bust with perfect sleeve length. Best fitting coat I've ever purchased.

It's warm and I love the style. I ordered a medium. It's roomy without being too big. And it's a little different than what everyone else is wearing. I can't say one bad thing about it!

I love my coat.
