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

I am absolutely in love with this jacket!!!! I live in Atlantic Canada and was in need of a coat that wasn't a giant heavy parka to wear for our shoulder winter months when our days are 0 to minus 15. I searched for months for a jacket that not only suited my weather requirements but overall length (hits me just above my knees) and budget and mission accomplished with this jacket! I do find that it does run a bit on the larger side which is ok for winter layering. The overall fill and weight is perfect, it's very warm but isn't heavy. I read a lot of reviews before purchasing and many reviews had issues with loosing feathers and the thin outer of the jacket..........I have lost a feather or two but this sheds far less than other jackets that I have had. As for the thin outer layer I find it no different from any other down filled jacket, in order to preserve it I wouldn't wear it into the woods for fear of snags or rips. I love this coat so much I have just ordered the long and short version and can't wait for them to arrive! Keep up the great work LL Bean!

I originally purchased a large, but felt it was very fitted. I returned it to the store and tried on the extra large and the fit was perfect. The coat is very warm and lightweight.

I love everything about this coat. Lightweight, great length, roomy enough for layering. Even the hood is very functional, Stays on in the wind, unlike other coats. I bought the black with gray interior, it will never go out of style....

My sibs and I purchased this for our 87 y/o mother and she is stylin' now! She loved it.

I ordered this coat online and when it arrived I was skeptical it would keep me warm given how thin it is. I was wrong! It's so warm, even on bitterly cold days! I love that it's light weight and not bulky. It fits perfectly and the hood stays up and in place without ever slipping off. Well worth the money!

Love this coat! I've only had a it a couple weeks but it has been great. It has plenty of room for extra layers if you want. The length is perfect. Great coat for Vermont weather!

Love my new coat. It fits well, is so light weight and warm. This coat does not make me look like the Michelin man, it has a little silhouette to it.

So light, but very warm. Feels like you are wearing nothing, and isn't bulky getting in and out of car and other things.

This is just the best jacket! It's so lightweight and really warm. I normally wear a small, but the small was really roomy, so I sized down to an extra small and I love the fit. The inside pocket is perfect for my wallet so that I don't have to carry a purse all the time. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a really warm but super lightweight jacket!

I wear it where ever I go. I thought it would be my dress coat but it is the coat I wear no matter what the occasion. The color is great. It is warm. It is light weight and dressy. So happy I bought it.

Runs a little large which is nice if you're wearing lots of layers under but other than that consider going a side down. Great quality and I love how it packs into its stow away pouch. Definitely would recommend

I love this coat. It is easy to pack and is extremely warm. I layer other LLBean light down jackets under it, also. I love this coat so much that I have purchased two more for gifts.

Fits well. Super comfortable. It's incredible that a coat so very light weight can be so toasty, but it sure is... it's become my favorite!!!

I spent quite a bit of time trying to find the perfect long down jacket. I tried on a handful of different brands and they either were too puffy or too thin, leaked feathers, or were not warm enough. Then I found this one and lemme tell you it is PERFECT! It is my first LL Bean jacket and I am sold. It's not too bulky, it weighs nothing, and is still very warm. I generally wear a light sweater under it and am good, but I could fit another jacket or fleece if I needed more warmth. I am usually a medium in jackets, but the fit of this jacket is a bit off- I ended up exchanging the medium I ordered for a small. It's a little tight in my shoulders, but overall a better fit than the M. It hit a little above my knees and is a flattering fit, there's room for layers but it is not baggy. The material seems durable, but I will be avoiding walking through the forest with it based on other reviews of it ripping. This jacket has been perfect for the cold Utah winter so far and makes me happy to bundle up in it and go outside!

It is SO light and SO comfortable and still warm. It is exactly what I was looking for. It is definitely popular! I had to put an identifying pin in the lapel so it doesn't walk home with someone else

Very light weight, warm, and comfortable. Excellent craftsmanship. It was nice to be able to visit our local Bean store and try on this coat. I determined that I needed a petite size which I ordered. The plum color is nice, but I wish brighter colors were offered in these longer down coats...it really would be a safety factor when we wear these coats in foul weather.

The winters seem to be getting longer and colder, and I had a down sweater that just wasn't doing it for me, so I bought this. It's great! I love the hood, the fact that it's lightweight, and WARM, but I also love the length and the feminine shape. The zippered pockets ate a good thing as well, especially the inside one. Great purchase.

bought for a Christmas gift

Love the way this coat shapes my body. Wear it every day to walk the dog on cold mornings !! So warm yet stylish !!

I read the reviews and this was exactly what I was looking for. I haven't worn anything else since I bought it a month ago. I wanted something to wear to late fall/early spring kids' sports events, to walk my dogs in during the NE winters, and for an upcoming trip. It is sooo comfy, feels so light, really is water resistant, blocks the wind, and has great pockets. I also love the tapered look. It is also long enough to keep my legs warm from the wind, buffer the cold bleachers, and wear with longer sweaters/tops that other jackets didn't cover. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!

I have had this coat for a month and I am very happy with it. It is extremely light but very warm. I have been wearing it to walk on the beach early in the morning and it really protects me from the wind. I highly recommend it.

I absolutely love this coat, it's light yet very well insulated and the length hits me just about the knees. The sizing in the coats is way off, I'm normally a small in coats in other brands but had to purchase a petite xs in this coat to get the right fit and still have coat to wear a thicker sweater underneath. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase just need to figure out the right size!

Very light weight but keeps you warm.

I have the jacket loved it went through The Whole winter with it now got the three quarter one love it wish it was waterproof

Great coat and I am picky. Light, packable, warm and comfortable. Material almost stretches as you move. I got the plum. I bought large which was ok but returned for medium regular. Perfect.
