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

Love the coat but the color is misleading in the pictures. I purchased the gunmetal gray and I would say it is more blue than gray.

Fashionable, light weight and keeps the wind out. Definitely need another warm layer underneath with temps in the 30s

Good warmth and a flattering fit. True to size. Some down is bleeding through at the seam lines.

Very light weight. Only complaint Only complaint. The sleeves don't have a cuff at the wrist so the cold air can get in. Waiting to see how warm it is but optimistic. Also difficult to use the stuffing pocket. Had to call customer service to find out how to use it. Very tight.

Warm and fits well. Love the elasticized cuffs and hood. Pockets fall very low though for a petite model

This coat is my longtime favorite-almost 7 years going...I JUST WISH that Bean would add more colors that are slightly brighter and more cheerful. Some examples of better colors would be turquoise, clover green, navy blue, light grey. Every fall I raise my hopes that this coat will be changed to happier colors, but (while I wait I'm in black with bright scarf)..

I couldn't live with the hood, which was too big and had no adjustment in the back, and insufficient adjustment on the sides. If you usually wear a hat under the hood you would probably be fine. Not for really cold weather, which is a shame since the extra length is nice for staying warm, but there is not enough insulation to do the job.

The coat is warm and comfortable but there is an ongoing issue with the zipper. It is difficult to catch the zipper to get it started and once started it randomly catches on the material on either side. I know this is a minor problem but it is so annoying! I thought about returning it but I don't think the zipper is defective, I think it is the just the design . Once zipped it is a very nice coat!!

Love the color and fit. Very comfy and stylish. Might be a little too lightweight for Michigan winters though. Probably best for 20-50 degree weather.

I love this coat except I'm not fond of the zipper which can be a little difficult at times . It's super light and warm.

warm but still light. could use one more pocket in the left or right outside chest. otherwise pretty close to perfect

Light weight and super warm, great color, but feathers already popping out.

I bought this to have a light but warm, casual coat. So far, so good. I'm not finding problems with cold patches that others mention. I have not yet worn it to walk the dog in cold weather, and we have not yet had really cold temps. HOWEVER, the size I usually wear was much too small. Fortunately, the next size up works just fine. I wish I had paid attention to reviews that said that to begin.

Love it, almost perfect for every day. Zipper tends to catch in the fabric.

Bought this coat to replace my 1st generation LLBean 850 down coat purchased many years ago. Same high quality and great fit and love the new gunmetal grey color. So disappointed though, that it is only available with a hood! I wear hats and scarves, and the hood is always in the way. I get that I'm probably in the minority here, but maybe you could at least make the hood detachable?

I love the cut, color, and weight of this coat. I happily wore one almost like this (except for the hood on this style) for years. The only issue holding me back from giving a five star rating is the zipper. For the price it seems flimsy.

Beautiful coat and fits perfectly. I'm 5'2 and weigh 118 and I bought size medium regular. My only con is that there are no snap closures. You have to zip it up or down for cold or wind protection and down to comfortably sit in the car.

I generally like this coat but would like it better if it had a hood that rolled into a zipped collar or even no collar. It is also a bit bulkier than I thought it would be. Less bulk would make it easier to pack for travel. But it is well made (except zipper can be balky) and keeps me warm!

I tried this coat on at the store. It is a beautifully designed coat, very lightweight. But, the hood adjusters stick out on the clavicle area and that looks very unattractive. I did not purchase.

This coat is very pretty. I ordered the Reg medium and it fits with plenty of room for extra layers underneath. Sleeves are long enough with extra length to cover my wrists. I ordered the plum color which I love. The reason I couldn't give it five stars was because it's not quite warm enough for true Maine winters. I wore it to a soccer game this fall with temps in the 50's and my back was cold as I sat in my lawn chair. But I expect I'll be layering up with heavier sweaters in the future.

A bit too short but a nice warm coat. Bought this same one several years ago and it was slightly longer.

Nice coat, well made...could use a bit more down fill for the price, but overall my wife likes it.

As described good jacket..that is it...........no more to say

Light weight and warm, even in Alaska. 4/5 stars only because within first week of wearing feathers started coming out.

The coat is very nice and very light and warm. However, the color looks like the "normal" navy blue, but when it came, it is not navy blue. I am getting used to the color.
