The L.L. Bean Sweater Fleece Long Vest is praised for its quality, warmth, and comfort, making it a great layering piece for cooler weather. The longer length and flattering fit are highlighted as key features. However, some users note the horizontal line across the middle may not be the most flattering on certain body types. Additionally, a few customers find the sweater material on the outside and collar to be a bit scratchy and stiff, wishing it was fully fleece-lined instead. Overall, the consensus is that this is a well-made, versatile, and cozy vest suitable for everyday wear and layering.
Great 3 season layer. Absolutely love the pockets. Large enough for gloves, a small wallet and a phone. Flattering fit. I like the longer length.

Like this vest
Fit: A little large
The sweater fleece is the perfect weight and it's a nice color of green. It's slightly too long a vest for my taste but I like it all the same.

Love the green color and the new longer length. Look forward to wearing it this coming fall & winter, since I prefer vests instead of coats.

This is perfect for cool days out walking. It's a bit long in the torso for me but I'm short waisted. Otherwise perfect.

Very Nice, But ..
Fit: True to size
I love these vests. But the plastic zippers do not last very long, not like the metal zippers on my LL Bean sweatshirts.

Nice vest
Fit: True to size
This is a nice vest. The fabric is a bit dressier than fleece. The collar is too short and stands up, I would prefer if it could be folded. I don't like the styling of the front
