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

This jacket/coat is perfect - lightweight, convenient and warm. Can fit a sweater or fleece underneath. Color as pictured. Double zipper is very convenient and durable.

Love my new LL Bean coat. It's extremely lightweight and very warm. Only need a lightweight shirt underneath to walk my dog in 30 degree weather. Love it!

There is everything to love about this coat. It is longer than a jacket, but the length is shorter than a long coat and it keeps the upper part of my legs warm. I have worn it in Syracuse,NY and Albuquerque, NM this winter and it kept me warm and toasty. In an hour hike in wet snowy conditions the outside of the coat was wet, but the inside stayed dry. It packs great in my carry on when flying too.

My husband gave me this down coat for my birthday and I have been wearing it for a couple of months. It is so warm and lightweight. I purchased it a little large so I could layer as I live in the mountains and we have many below zero days. I take a bus to and from work and even standing out in -10 degrees waiting to be picked up I am toasty warm. Best coat ever and I highly recommend it.

Fits like a dream, warm, light weight, is everything advertised in catalog!

I ordered the small originally and it was way too big. This coat is very light weight but super warm and cozy. I don't want to take it off. I love that it packs up so conveniently into its own pocket. Perfect for traveling! I've already recommended a few friends buy one!

I debated for a very long time on whether or not I should spend the money on this coat - first I looked at in online a few times, then I went to the store, tried it on, and then went home and thought about it some more! Finally I decided to just do it - I could always return it, right? I love it! It's so warm, you don't feel the wind, the hood is great because its not big and floppy, it's more fitted and when you zip up, the hood stays put. Love the two way zipper also, nice to be able to unzip the bottom when I get in the car. I'm very glad I decided to just do it!!

I love the light weight of this coat. Just wore it on a ski trip to Colorado and it was so easy to put in my carry on. The fit is exactly what I wanted as there was room to wear a fleece underneath if extra warmth was needed. Since I live in NC, I can see it as my "go to" to coat when I need something warmer than my Ultralight sweater jacket. Also, love the styling.

When the package with this jacket arrived, my husband didn't believe that's what it was - he thought the package was too light to be a jacket! It took a day or two for the coat to really "puff" after being shipped. This jacket is very warm so far (I've actually been too warm a few mornings walking the dogs). We haven't had a really cold snap yet, but based on how warm it's been so far, I'm not worried. I bought the purple color, which is a bit darker in person than it looks online. I usually wear an XL in outerwear (western NY - it's all about the layers), and I was worried based on the reviews that the XL would be too snug, but it's perfect. I have plenty of room for bulky sweaters/sweatshirts underneath. The double zipper is great, I just wish that there were snaps or buttons so I could hold the top part of the jacket together without zipping it all the way up. Overall, very happy with my purchase!

Originally ordered the small based on the measurement guide, but it was very large. Ended up with the XS and it fits well. Still a little large through the middle, but overall fine. Fit is flattering. It is warm, lightweight and comfortable. Hood fits well which is unusual in my experience. Thank you LL Bean for a great coat!

I love the lightweight feel but extreme warmth of this coat! The cut is flattering, I love the many features, and I was amazed the sleeves are long enough for a tall person like me! Normally I wear a small or medium in coats and had to go down to XS in this coat to not look ridiculous.

I love this coat! It is super light and packable, and surprisingly warm. A medium fits perfect for me with room for a sweater underneath.

Everything I was looking for....got an XL so this would not be too snug....fits great and room to move!

I am in love with my new lightweight down coat which comes below my knees and keeps me super warm without any weight. I especially like that it has a very good fitting hood to protect me from rain and snow and that this coat is waterproof! It has it all, is a nice fit, and is easy to put on and take off and simply fold up somewhere...takes up no space whatsoever. Highly recommend!

Loved the lightness of this coat. Received as a gift in the burgundy color and have already gotten compliments on color and look. Fit is great, a-line which is great for me who has a larger frame and larger hips. Highly recommended!

After searching several notable companies for the perfect jacket for my daughter for Christmas we decided on this one and it is perfect. She lives in Maine and found it very comfortable, easy to move in, and warm. It really is prefect! She wanted a long jacket to keep her warm while picking up kids and hauling children around and at bus stops. This was the best jacket by far.

I purchased this coat as a Christmas gift to my daughter. She's barely taken it off since she opened her gift on Christmas morning. She said the coat is very warm, soft and comfortable. She loves the longer length when it's windy and cold.

This is one of many men's and woman's ultra down coat/jackets that I've purchased and all are extremely light and amazingly warm. Can't emphasize enough how warm these down coats are. Love llbeam products. Best products on the market. "10 STARS "

This coat is wonderful!!! Light as a feather and very warm. When the wind blows and you put the hood up you do not feel the cold air at all!!! I bought this coat for my wife.

The Ultralight 850 down coat is fantastic. It's so warm and yet lightweight. No issues with zipper (as others have mentioned). Super pleased with my purchase. I bought the blue in XS.

I purchased this coat for my wife. She runs in between a Small and Medium so after reading reviews and seeing the jacket runs a bit large purchased the Small. PERFECT FIT! My wife absolutely loves the jacket. It is very lightweight, yet keeps her extremely warm.

Liked how it fit and it was warm

So light weight and comfortable. Mine was a petite medium. I was concerned it would be too tight after zipped but was pleasantly surprised it was perfect. Just enough room for an extra sweater if weather called for it. It's my most comfortable coat.

This coat fits .... including arms, and that almost never happens to me. This coat is warm and waterproof, lightweight and most attractive. I wear a fleece jacket underneath and have a scarf to keep neck warm... especially from wind. Whole ensemble works!

Was wanting a longer coat for the colder windy days and this one really does it. I have the same version in the short jacket in several colors and love how lightweight but warm these coats are. Wish the longer jacket came in brighter colors instead of the standard black, brown, blue and plum. I ordered the blue and the plum to try to decide and ended up keeping the plum color.
