Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Hi-Pile Fleece Full Zip Jacket

I have 2 high pile fleece jackets purchased last year that I love. I thought this would be the same product. It is not. This fabric is very furry as described but sheds and feels flimsy in comparison to last year's version. I do not want to spend time with a lint roller. I am returning it.

Loved the color, feel and fit of the jacket. However, being from Orlando, I've never owned high-pile fleece and did not know it would pill. I wore it one day on a trip and was surprised to see all the pills...especially where my arms rubbed the front and side of the jacket. I did not know any way to get them off except picking them off one by one. Later, I read I could have shaved them off! I feel I paid too much for something that looked so bad after one wearing. I don't know what will happen when I wash it!

Should have looked at all the pictures, the green color on the elbows and pocket and sleeves look horrible; it fits, very warm, but I won't wear it; not dressy like I had hoped.

The jacket is soft and snuggly, but, it makes me look like a fullback. The color is sort of a light peachy beige-washes me out. Also, don't like the pocket details- they don't go with the soft pile.

I have a similar looking coat from a different company. This will bulky and unattractive

Cute and cozy, BUT it has NO LINING, so it doesn't slide over clothing. I was wearing a corduroy shirt and actually got stuck. Back to LL Bean!

Fleece jacket did not look like LL Bean quality to me so I returned it.

Have one from 2021 that I love and went to purchase another in store today and the fleece is noticeably thinner. Very disappointing. It's one of my warmest fleeces and I won't be buying this new version. I know LL Bean is probably struggling with raising prices but I think it shouldn't be marketed as the same item.

The quality of the merchandise at LL Bean has been reduced, the price has remained high. Unfortunately for us we remember paying top prices for high quality products, no longer true. All items were returned.

Not the quality I'm use to from Llbean. I have a similar one I bought from Llbean 3 yrs ago. My niece loved it, so I gave it to her thinking I could replace it! Not happening with this poor quality

Looks bulky but feels lightweight when you put it on. Nice length. I like the zipper pockets (always a plus and appreciated), and the elbow patches on the sleeve are new to me, but that is the area that sees the most wear.

I didn't like all the loose fleece and I would not like to wash it before giving it as a gift.

Sleeves are too short for us tall gals. LL Bean, please bring us a tall options for this! The material is lovely, it's the softest fleece I think LL bean makes, but it just doesn't offer the size options that are inclusive.

sent this right back. material is flimsy and poorly made.

It needs a lining of slippery fabric so sleeves can come and go easily.

The only reason I buy outdoor clothing from LLBean is because of the QUALITY. I bought this fleece for my teen daughter and as she was putting it on, the zipper fell apart rendering it unusable. If this is an example of things to come from LLBean, I am definitely going to consider ordering from one of the many other outdoor clothing retailers. Have noticed a definite decline in quality over the years.

This is my second one. The first pilled in high-wear areas, and the second one covered a load of laundry and my laundry room in fuzz, which it is now also covered in.

i bought this and Women's Luxe Fleece Jacket... i wear a szie 22/24 and buy 26/28 on tops when i want them to be baggy and big on me. the 3x here should be baggy and big for a 3x should be equivalent to a size 26/28... it is not. the shoulders are very tight and i could not even zip it up. I bought also the Women's Luxe Fleece Jacket... sizing completely different and I bought a 3x too. that one fit! Was big enough to wear a bulky sweater and enough room in the shoulders. i'm not sure who ll bean gets to product test their plus size clothing but they don't hire the right people. hire me... i'll test out the clothes and test them. ll bean really needs to work on their plus size sizing. i've tried other 3x sizing products and only this... Women's Luxe Fleece Jacket.... has fit right. the material was soft. quality seemed okay too

I have washed it twice, brushed it with lint brush, hung it up to dry, put in dryer on low with damp towel... I've tried everything and it just keeps shedding. Embarrassing. Bought one for my mother and one for myself (both in desert rose - beautiful color) but they both shed an insane amount. Very warm and comfortable but probably won't be after all the shedding. Very disappointed.

So comfy, but unfortunately the side seam had a large hole after one use. I ordered a replacement and it too had a large hole in the seam upon arrival. So disappointed in the poor quality of this item!

I liked it until I wore it. After I took it off , I was full (covered) with fleece. It was sticking really good to me. I didn't appreciate that at all.

I bought this same fleece last year and loved it. Bought a second one a couple weeks ago, but am amazingly disappointed with the quality of the same fleece one year later. Forgetting that the first one "shed" a bit during the first few times of wash and wear, I put it in the laundry with my regular dark clothes. It pilled and shed all over the place and the pilling was stuck to all my athletic clothes. I remembered that the other had shed, so I put it back in the washer and dryer with jeans and sweatshirts. It pilled and shed even worse, and the pilling was stuck to all the sweatshirts and also to one of the pairs of jeans. Even the lint trap was full of the shedding from it. Not sure what to do now, as I don't want it ruining anymore clothes. So sad about this, as I have never, ever had an issue with LL Bean clothes before. If you decide to purchase this, you should probably wash and dry it with jeans a few times before wearing.

I purchased this full zip sweater in Platinum/Raw Indigo. My office space is super cold and thi sweater is definitely warm and comfy.BUT after 4 washes it's still sheds like it's brand new. I will unfortunately be returning it as it's ruined multiple shirts and leaves a trail on EVERYTHING it comes in contact with.

This fleece is soft and warm as advertised. Unfortunately it is not Durable at all. After only two wears, it already ripped near the pocket. I am truly disappointed in the quality of this product.

I got this as Christmas gift in the blue. It is warm and cozy however it sheds non-stop. I have washed repeatedly and still sheds. This is the worst thing I have ever gotten from LLBean. I have the pull-over in purple and never had this problem. Unfortunately it was a gift from granddaughter and I can't use it
