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

I usually wear a large but a friend told me they run big so I got a medium and fit perfect. I would've given it a 5 but there was a lot of feathers in the inside that clung to my clothes. So sprayed it with hair spray which did the trick.

This is my second time around on this coat. The zipper broke on my first one and the repair made it too small. I purchased a second one but with the hood as there was no other option. Liked it well enough for a repeat buy!

Love my new coat very warm but feels so lightweight!! My only problem has been with the zipper. Sometimes the zipper is difficult to pull up & to pull all the way down to take cost off.

Very warm, very light. I used it to travel to Europe in late December, and it was the perfect travel partner. Once it was packed into its pouch, it fit easily into my carryon to be used when it was needed (during half of the trip). The only issue I have is that sometimes I have difficulty getting the zipper end fully inserted into the pull side in order to zip the coat up. It can take several tries to line things up correctly. But once it lines up, zipping is easy. I also like the inner pocket, which is long and fits gloves, city maps, or long wallets easily and fully.

I like the coat. Initially I had trouble with the zipper but it is fine now. There are strings at some of the seams....which speaks to me of a rushed product.

I love everything about this coat, except that it sheds a little bit. I find little "feathers" on my pants

I love the coat for spending time out in the cold. It is lightweight, puffy and warm. Although a few things could improve the overall functionality of it. The pockets have an inner zip up pocket inside them. But the outer pockets are not deep enough to hold gloves without them accidentally falling out. I love the strong zipper that works every time. I wish the coat was 3 inches longer to cover more of my thighs. There is a secret inside pocket for a cell phone, keys, or dog treats. Great idea.

It's Christmas gift that my daughter wanted as a gift

Very lightweight. Fabric is so thin it snagged easily.

This is my 5th Ultralight 850 3/4 length coat. It's not bulky, it's the perfect weight and can be worn Spring, Fall and Winter. It's very pricey and wish it came with a better guarantee. My last one caught on a store shelf and the shelf tore a small slit in the arm, which became unsightly. I do find the coat rips easily and it's difficult to repair a rip in this coat, and it's not cheap to replace.

I liked the coat a lot. It had a good fit (I ordered a petite medium) and was not overly bulky lived tbe color. The only things I was not crazy about were the A-line shape of the coat below the waist and the hood. Too bad the hood couldn't have been tucked into a small zippered pocket behind the neck. Other than that it was great.

Cold winter walking the pup but this coat saved the day/night!

Stylish and warm. Maybe not quite as warm as I hoped in the freezing weather but overall very happy with the true to size fit and overall great quality, the fleece lined pockets and warm hood are nice touches!

I love the fit. Great for moderate winter temperatures. On a very cold winters day, I have to go back to my heavier down winter coat.

I dislike the fact that the filling keeps coming out so there are white "feathers" on the coat and my clothes.

I purchased this coat in my regular size large. All my other down coats/jackets are size large that are a perfect fit. I wish I would have ordered it in a x-large. Depending on what I wear the coat could be a little snug, especially around the thigh area. As a woman weight can go up and down often. I suggest, whatever size you may currently wear go the next size up with this particular coat.

Very warm and comfortable. However the down works its way out more than expected.

I bought this coat in late 2023 and mostly love it. However, I would happily trade the "stow pocket" for another usable inside pocket. I seldom have occasion to "stow" my coat in the pocket and if I did, I could use one of the inner pockets for that. Other than that, I like the coat and am glad I bought it.

the coat is fine ...not as warm as I thought it was at 800 fill...there is no chest pocket for my change purse...I needed I coat so I kept it...

The coat fits well and is nice and warm. However, the coat came with a tiny hole in the front from which down is constantly poking out. Don't you have any type of quality control or required inspections before you ship the product? I live in the Chicago area and right now it is brutally cold and I need a warm coat. I also don't really have time to take it to store to return it. And worse, if I send it back for a replacement, you will charge me. So I am keeping it as is.

Love the length and true to size. Wish it was a little heavier.

I bought this coat to replace a very old (rating unknown) down coat of another brand, but as it turns out, the old one is still much much warmer than this new one. This one is not as warm as it seems it should be, given its rating of 850. Works well in the 40s, but if the temp is in the 20s or 30s, even with a sweater, no way: not warm enough. Arms, especially, feel cold.

This coat replaces an Ultralight Down Hooded Coat, Full length which I have had for nearly20 years and am Lee as backup! I love the coat and wanted something shorter so went to the three-quarter lengths. The 850 series are lightweight, incredibly warm, come in lovely colors and are easy to care for.

Fabulous coat, stylish and functional. Dark Plum is a beautiful color. Medium fit a bit snug with a heavy sweater so I went with the Large to be roomier. Attached hood is functional, sits well to stay in place. The fact that is coat is warm yet folds up into its own stow pocket is a huge bonus! I'm a big fan of two way zippers, perfect for fast walking and car rides. My only wish is that the coat was an inch or two shorter.

I bought this coat yesterday so haven't had it long. The got it in the gunmetal grey. It fits great and seems warm enough. Not sure how durable it is but I love how light it is. My only complaint is that the color is more dark blue than grey in daylight. Wish I'd gotten the dark plum! I'd exchange it but the plum will take a week to get to me and I desperately needed a coat. I'll update when I've worn in 10 degree weather soon.
