Customers overwhelmingly praise this fleece vest for its lightweight comfort, soft fabric, and versatile layering capabilities. Most highlight exceptional comfort and warmth without bulk, describing it as ideal for year-round wear—cool evenings, air-conditioned spaces, travel, and layering under coats. The vest fits true to size with a flattering, roomy yet tailored cut that works over sweatshirts or under jackets. Reviewers consistently affirm high-quality construction, durable fabric, and machine-washable convenience, with many repurchasing over years. A few note the length runs long for shorter individuals or mention minor zipper issues, though most consider it reliably excellent.
Great color, flattering fit. Will be a very versatile layer to grab & go with this winter.

My second such vest
Fit: A little large
I wore o ene for years, over shirts, over parkas, and in bed on cold nights. Either I lost it or someone swiped it, so I was happy to get a replacement.

Loved the blue color so took a chance on this but will be returning it. Fabric was a nice weight but the sizing was weird. I ordered my usual size in LL Bean tops and outerwear but

Like this vest, light weight and comfortable for spring. However it is way too long. I am 5'4 and it comes down past my butt. Looks really bad. Have to roll it up but that adds mat

I returned this fleece. It was bigger than desired (i purchased x-sm). It was an inferior fleece. I wish I could replace the polartec hip length vests that LL bean used to sell.

I've had a very old LL Bean black fleece vest that I needed to replace. My new purchase is superior in a number of ways--better fit with more length in the back and a soft texture
