Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Ultralight 850 Down Hooded Coat

This coat is all it advertises it to be. It's so very warm, lite and if you dress in layers it is perfectly roomy for this!

This coats are just about the best anywhere!!!

This coat is exactly what I had been hoping for! It is amazingly light, but incredible warm. I love the length and the hood has come in handly with a cold wind. I'm looking forward to putting it to the test this winter when the temperatures start dropping up here in northcentral Wisconsin!

This is the one. I have never before said " This is the last winter coat I'll ever buy" But I am saying it now. It is so warm, yet incredibly lightweight it seems like a magic coat. I wore it last weekend in the pouring rain we had here on Cape Cod And I kept warm and dry and the coat dried off almost immediately. I pulled up the hood in the wind and it fits perfectly and stayed up without tying or pulling any strings. I will buy another winter coat, but it will be this one in another color! I sized up one size because my upper arms are large and llbeans arms run smaller than other brands and I was glad I did. I have had many compliments when I've worn this coat.

Love it's fit and the fact that it repels rather than absorbs rain or snow. Bonus is lightweight and it's packability for travel.

I love my new coat. It is warm, lightweight and comfortable.

I walk a mile 1/2 every morning on a Marina Boardwalk along Long Island Great South Bay - this coat is perfect for my walk - I wear a sweater underneath, put up my hood up over my earmuffs and I am warn and comfortable during my walk - great coat - light enough to be comfortable but warm enough to walk along the water -

I bought this coat last winter and liked it so much, I wore it almost every day. Comfortable fit, very warm, windproof, with a sweater underneath, I'm toasty on the coldest days.

I LOVE this coat.Even if I wanted to I could not induce myself at this point to wear a wool coat because this is so much warmer and does not itch.The new green replaces my old mariner blue which I just wore all the time everywhere and the time had come for a new color.This is a great neutral green you can wear with scarfes of different colors.Its has very little yellow undertone, which is great.Large fit well for me at 5'4" and 158 lbs about..You will love it too...

I purchased the old style (no hood, and slightly heavier fabric) about 3 years ago and loved it. However, as several owners have stated, the fabric can tear easily and mine did leaving down floating around at times. However, all things considered, this is my absolute favorite coat ever! It fits well, is so lightweight that I can't believe it keeps me warm even on frigid, wintry days, and now has a hood so it's the perfect coat for me! I continued to wear my other one, but had my company name embroidered on it so decided to purchase one without that. Would buy over again in another color, too.

This coat is nice in length and so far it seems it will be plenty warm. I have the jacket in the 850 down and it is very warm. Bought this one for the longer length. Color is pretty (Marine Blue)

I have been looking for a winter coat for months. This LL Bean Coat is going to be perfect. Light weight but very warm in cold weather. I ordered the green and have received so many compliments. Price is perfect and fits beautifully.

wore it in windy, cold Minneapolis and it kept me warm!

This was purchased for my wife and she loves it. It packs itself into its own pocket for easy travel. She is threatening to get rid of all other coats and use this one exclusively. She spends time in Minneapolis as part of her travels and it's kept her warm all winter. Definitely recommend the product.

I debated on whether to buy this coat, and I am very glad that I did. I do a lot of walking on a college campus and this coat is perfect in terms of its warmth, ability to repel rain, and block wind. If it is as durable as the rest of my LL Bean gear, then I will enjoy 20+ years of use.

I waited for a long time before buying a longer coat, I've always worn jackets for my outdoor walking and errands. I didn't know if I would like the adjustment, possible bulk and weight plus I was a bit put off by cost. Having always worn goose down I knew that part of my decision would be right. After using it for several months, I cannot say enough about this wonderful coat. I walk my dogs year round in some pretty chilly weather that involves snow and wind. The hood is spectacular and I've never been a hood person. It's loose enough around my head and face to not feel constricted and blocks the wind amazingly well, it's pretty easy on my hair too, not all flattened down after using it for a few hours. The extra warmth it provides on my neck and around my face makes me feel cozy and warm no matter the chill. The longer length provides extra warmth on my legs and wind block but never causes any problems of feeling constricted due to the double zipper which offers adjustment. If I want a little extra warmth, it accommodates a light or mid-weight fleece very well. I bought the dark plum which is absolutely stunning in color. Now when I wear one of my jackets, I almost feel chilly since using this coat so much. Light as a feather in weight, warm, comfortable and a great color. Can't go wrong on this one.

Fits beautifully, true to size. Extremely light yet very warm. Sales people are friendly, helpful.a

This jacket is warm, easy to pack, lightweight, but warm. So many hidden pockets and well made.

Great fit, comfortable, cozy, and most of all warm. Love that it comes in petite sizes, the small fit well.

So light weight and two-way zipper works smoothly. Protects on cold windy dog walks on the bay. Allows plenty of room for bulky sweaters and still looks trim.

We've gotten some early cold weather (in the 20s in the morning) yet I have been comfortable. I was also comfortable when the temperatures were in the 40s I ordered a size that would allow me to have a heavy sweater or multiple thin layers underneath. I love the 2 outside and 2 inside pockets. I can't think of anything I would want to change in the design. THANK YOU for the great design, LL Bean!

This coat is light as a feather, but sooooo warm! I love the coziness without the bulk. Fits true to size and is very flattering.

Terrific winter coat! Light as a feather, comfy with a pima turtle neck, medium or heavy weight sweater, ample room for layers without being tight or baggy. The arms are a good length, falling below wrist. Cuffs are comfortably snug without binding or sliding up. Length is just above knees and keeps backside toasty warm. Hem zipper allows driving or biking with ease. Hood is thoughtfully designed and keeps ears and neck well covered. No plastic threads or sharp corners to irritate sensitive skin. Inside storage pockets - what a treat! Someone really thought about the design of this coat. Ready for any occasion. Very nice to snuggle under on a long flight or road trip. Wouldn't hesitate to give as a gift.

Love the coat. Bought petite by mistake; no problem exchanging it for medium. So light weight, yet very warm. Love the way the hood fits, not overly big like some coats.

I love this coat. I've had it for 2 winters and it is holding up great. It is quite warm but very lightweight.
