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

I was looking for a coat that would pack easily and keep me warm. The length is perfect! The salesperson in the Easton store showed me how the coat packs in the "Stow" bag. Brilliant. The color is also a nice neutral without being boring. I plan to wear a bright plaid scarf with it.

This coat is still going strong since I bought it in 2017 unlike problems I have had with stuck zippers with the Warm Core Down and Ultrawarm coats! I wear a Waffle Henley under this. It is perfect for weather in the 50's.

This coat slides on very comfortably. From the start it felt like an old friend. The zipper is easy to put together, the pockets are at a good height and angle, the length is perfect for sitting in the car. It is quite warm. I can't wear it indoors very long without getting hot. Although puffy, it doesn't look bulky at all.

Love this coat. It is so warm but very lightweight. Flattering fit and a great length.

Have bought many coats from LLBean over the years. This one is the best ever. Soft, great length, nice pockets , a comfy hood. The navy is a beautiful shade. Couldn't be happier, thanks!

I love this coat. I bought the coat in purple and love the color. It fits me perfectly and looks very slimming. It also keeps me warm without lots of bulk. Am so glad I bought this coat.

What an amazing coat! I wanted a trimmer looking winter coat that would be warm enough for Michigan winters and this is a winner! I can't believe how a coat so light weight can be so warm. I wore the coat to and from the car as well as walking about during the recent polar vortex with several layers underneath and I was warm! We are talking windchill of 25-30 degrees below! I loved it so much I went to the nearest LL Bean store and bought a second one in a different color.

Because of multiple spinal compression fractures, I cannot bear a lot of weight on my shoulders. This coat weighs NOTHING. And it is so warm!

This coat is a great packable down. I ordered the petite large. It was so large that I exchanged for a medium. The double zipper allows me to open the coat at bottom for sitting in a car. It really does pack into the pocket for stowing on a plane--just keep stuffing and compressing. Coat is very warm.

This is exactly what I wanted; light weight but very warm and the exact length, knee length. The fit is perfect and very comfortable, not bulky. I would recommend it to anyone.

I love the Ultralight 850 Down Hooded Coat. It is lightweight, warm, and water-repellent. In addition, it will pack down into a small space for example in a suit case. It is best to wear it with a midweight layer which is what I do in the winter indoors anyway.

I bought this coat specifically for wearing to work, and ended up taking it on a 10 business trip to Europe. I spent 3 days total sightseeing in very cold weather, walking nearly 8 miles a day. This coat kept me cozy when outdoors all day, looked great for work, and stuffed easily into my backpack anytime I didn't need it. Double zipper at the bottom great to open a bit for freer movement, lots of zip pockets, including interior pockets. The attached hood was very handy and cozy. Easily went over layers. Love this coat!

I have the long in this version and now have the short!and find that it fits with bulky and light clothing. It's featherlight and great for draping on the back of a theater or sporting event seat and walking in the city.

This jacket is lightweight but, provides enough warmth for a cold winter day. I love the style as well as the comfort. Usually I have trouble with the zipper on a jacket that is this length and so far, I've had no problems getting it zipped up or down. This is definitely my favorite LL Bean winter jacket!

Love this coat! Regarding the size - mine is a petite- if I am not dressed in multiple layers it feels a little big. I love that it breathes well. I can go from being outside for long periods of time walking or other non strenuous exercise and then take a 30 - 45 minute car ride without feeling over heated. I would highly recommend this coat.

This is a GREAT coat, it is so light weight and so warm without being bulky which I love it, honestly, when this one wears out I'll purchase another. The only thing I don't care for is the hood, I would prefer a coat without one, but it wouldn't stop me from repurchasing this coat. It has been in the 20s where we live and no trouble in the cold with this coat and I love the length! I also love the dual zipper so I can unzip at the bottom when sitting in the car. This coat is great!!

Warm, comfy, perfect length. Highly recommend it.

Sadly my coat was stolen over the holidays. This was the absolute best coat I ever had. True to size and comfortable in every temperature. Most important it was as light as a feather. You did not feel you were wearing a coat that was keeping you warm from the elements judging from the weight of the coat. This coat is worth every cent. Don't hesitate buy the coat you will not be sorry. I'm still hoping someone returns my coat. Stay warm this winter.

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!!
