Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Ultralight 850 Down Jacket - Tall

The fit of the coat was very good; the coat was very warm; I liked the color .

This is a super jacket. Very lightweight and warm. Pay attention to the temperature range advertised...I wore it to Boston on a very windy winter day and survived, but wasn't toasty warm. That was my fault not Beans, lol. Overall this is a great jacket and worth the money.

I had been skeptical of a coat this light being able to provide sufficient warmth; however, it has exceeded my expectations. The light weight is especially nice when I am traveling. It is very warm and comfortable to wear.

ONE OF THE BEST JACKET I HAVE EVER HAD, WARM, GREAT COLORS. IF THIS JACKET COULD BE WATERPROOF AND HAVE A HOOD, THEN YOU WOULD NEVER NEED ANOTHER JACKET.

I have used down jackets for +40 years, nothing better for cold weather. In that time, I have used several brands and purchased my first LL Bean down about 3-4 years when they were touting the water-repellent DownTek. The warmest, driest down I have worn in the winter conditions I face (NE Ohio snow-belt). Now with a more water-resistant shell for those cold, rainy days of winter. Now I have the older jacket when walking the dog and the new one for special occasions. LL Bean products are always winners!

This is my 2nd and am still a fan. It's warm, fits comfortably, and love its packability.

Lightweight, keeps me warm with only a t shirt underneath even in the 20's! Only regret is that our winter has been so mild!!

I bought this for my husband and because it was a bit fitted I ordered a size up for him, to an X-Large. Fits him great. We laughed when it arrived because it came in an envelope. He didn't believe it would be warm because it is so light but he wore it in -15 windchill and said it was warm.

I had been wearing a fleece and matching shell, but it was very heavy. This jacket keeps me warm without the weight. The only thing that would make me happier is if I had waited to purchase it, and if I looked good in bright colors.

After nearly 20 years I was still overjoyed with my Bean Flying Tiger leather jacket in the wintertime. (And when the temperature dropped below 20 degrees, I simply wore my Bean Sweater Fleece beneath it for even more warmth). However, I have to admit that my beloved Flying Tiger is a tad heavy. So when my father-in-law bought a 850 Down Jacket, and it was as light as air, I had to buy one for myself. So comfortable, so warm, so light--and yet it's good to minus 25 degrees! And knowing Bean products, I'll probably have this jacket as long as I've enjoyed my Flying Tiger. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is truly the best jacket I have ever had! Light weight and sooo.. warm. Your designers have done awesome job. I really can't believe the way it performs both in cold & warmer temperatures. I don't perspire- even in a warm vehicle.. It is so light, too. My compliments for a great jacket.

My wife brought this forms for Christmas. I like it because it is not bulky and comfortable to wear. If needed, I could wear a sweater or sweatshirt underneath. Nice quality as expected for LLbean products! Ordered an XL initially but was too small, XXL perfect!

This is a great jacket for tossing on for trips about town in cool weather. Very light weight, and super comfortable. I have not tested it to its advertised "low temperature" yet, but it worked well at 9F with a sweater underlayer. I tried a tall medium 1st, but it was too tight with sweater & woolen shirt. Large Tall worked just right. Good fit. This is my go-to jacket this winter.

The down coat was bought for my husband and he states: Very contemporary styling, zip pocket on the chest is perfect for the phone, and the zippers don't seem to get caught on the lining as my previous L.L. Bean coat did- I've had that one for 18 years!

I recently bought a larger and heavier winter coat. I found it too hot and bulky for anything over 30 degrees. I went back and forth and decided to check out the LL Bean store near me. They had this jacket and I really liked the metallic blue look of it. It was so light yet was rated for cold weather. I really wanted something with a nice zipper and this seemed to check all my boxes so I bought it. Was a little more than I wanted to spend but I've had LL Bean coats last years so thought it was a worthwhile investment. I love it, really is comfortable and if the temps drop a little too much, it helps to keep me warm. This is my go to jacket. Seems to be a popular style but it's really built well.

Bought one in spruce a couple of years ago, and needed one for black and blue outfits. The contrasting red zipper is a plus. Gets a lot of use in this warmer but not warm winter in CT.

Lightweight, comfortable, very warm, my husband's favorite Christmas gift

The Men's Ultralight 850 Down Jacket is replacing a 25 year old LL Bean down jacket that had suffered too many spills. This jacket is better fitting, lighter and warmer. My husband and I love the spruce color!

A Christmas present for my husband. Going to Norway in the spring and this will be easy to pack. Roomy enough for a sweater underneath. Nice updated look.

Very light and warm. As with all my items I have purchased thru L L Bean it is very very good quality. I will always buy from them.

Very light weight jacket but so warm .. great styling and quality!...highly recommend it!!!

I'm a big fan of LL Bean. I've been very loyal since my first winter jacket for college. Many jackets after, I still come to LL Bean for the best warmth to price ratio. This jacket is excellent, made with the latest materials and technology. Excellent quality Down (850 FP) and treated for water proof. The outer shell is Pertex Quantum, which offers similar isolation and breathability to the good old Gore-tex but much thinner and comfortable. missing from my wish list: 1. more down packed into it. 2. pockets inside the jacket. 3. Dual side zipper. 4. inner stretchy cuffs like the older jackets had. * I really wish LL Bean would list the Fill-Weight along side the Fill-power of the down. Otherwise all the jackets seem identical.

My brother, who lives in upstate NY loves this coat. Good fit and keeps him warm.

I got this jacket to act as my new winter jacket, so far it has not disappointed. It is very warm, especially with base layers underneath. I have not used it in heavy rain but it did not give me any trouble in light rain and snow!

Bought as a gift for my husband and he loves it so much he is so selective where he wears it.
