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

Zipper is an aggravation. Not an easy one to work with. I'm

The coat is light and very warm. I thought it was the best winter coat that I have ever had, but an unfortunate issue is that the down feathers come out and when pulled create a small hole. These holes have to be repaired with a special tape (which LL Bean does not have in stock). So now I am wearing a new coat with 3 repairs already. In the future I hope that LL Bean can address this issue because otherwise it is a wonderful coat.

Warm coat, nice length and fit. Disappointed as the down material has already started coming out of the coat, and only purchased about one month ago. Expected better durability for the price paid

I like my ultralight 850 Down Coat for its warmth and style but the feathers inside the coat poke out! It is frustrating to be pulling feathers off your coat!

Nice coat, not as warm as I had hoped and also very overpriced for the quality

Coat is more lightweight than I expected, didn't think it would be warm enough so I exchanged for a different one.

I really needed a warm coat but unfortunately this one isn't it. I'm still cold wearing it.

I loved this coat. After 2 years I decided it needed cleaning. I read about cleaning down coats online. I followed instructions; machine wash, delicate, gentle dry in dryer. Wow! coat is ruinned and I cannot ever wear again. All the down bunched up in little balls.

Coat is lightweight and fits well but sheds a lot of down. I am worried that it will be a windbreaker by season's end.

I bought L jacket 4 years ago Jacket quality was good .this time I replaced xL but the quality is not same materiel is little different and not warmer like before. That's why I am little disappointed

This is a lightweight (and packable) longer coat. It is not heavy enough to protect against very cold temperatures or wind but works well in the 30s-40s F temps. And, as I learned today, disappointingly, it is NOT waterproof. In a steady but not crazy rain, the water soaked through the coat in all locations (torso, arms, underarms, thighs). I got the coat at the beginning of December 2022, so it's really brand new.

Love it; light but very warm and cozy! Previously I had to sweat a sweet quarter length coat for a few dollars more this is a vast improvement

Black XL petite - 5'2 155 lbs - I like larger coat to layer up underneath. Love the light weight & would only buy down insulation! Is warm at temps in the 20 degrees with just a light shirt underneath. Is not wind or water resistant/proof. Zipper at Top at bottom are great- would not buy a coat without this feature. Like the hood with out fake fur. Cons - don't like the way it bells out at the bottom as cold air drifts up the coat . Pockets are small & few. The coat would be perfect if it was tapered at the bottom & had larger square pockets on the front and a couple of large pocket inside. Like the coat don't love it ... haven't found exactly what I am looking for ...may return it.

I love the feel of the material, the pattern of the stitching and the weight of the coat. BUT, the cut was boxy and not at all flattering. I ended up returning it.

A bit longer then I wanted and not as warm as stated.

The coat is very cute and flattering. It comes in petite. I'm not very tall, its hard to find coats where the sleeves aren't too long, this fit perfectly. Love that its lightweight but still very warm. The downside is the fabric on the outer shell of the coat is very delicate and snags easily. My coat got caught on a shopping cart and it punctured a small hole. I now have feathers coming out. For the price, it's very disappointing.

Was looking for a good/great quality warm winter jacket, that doesn't break the bank. Thought I found it, but after owning about 3 weeks and only wearing a few times. I'm finding fairly large chunks of feathers come out.

I just wanted to replace the exact same "850" coat I'd purchased a few years ago, but with a hooded version. I returned the new one right away because the fabric AND the feather filling were inferior to my old one.

I loved this coat until I didn't. The zipper just broke and it doesn't seem fixable. A coat should last longer than a year or two, right? Bean's new one-year return limit seems "unBeanlike" and I am very disappointed.

I had a 3/4 Ultralight 850 Down coat with out a hood (got it the year before hoods were offered) for years and loved it. They are super light and surprisingly warm (I live in Maine). I love how it covers my rear. I unfortunately broke the zipper in my old coat in January and needed a new coat quickly (January in Maine is pretty chilly). I got this version the next day (Freeport is 20 min away). Same light coat that keeps you warm. Fantastic! Unfortunately, one of the seams on the arm was ripped when I bought it and down just keeps coming out of it. I currently have a binder clip on it to keep the down loss to a minimum. I would give the coat 5 stars if it didn't rip and leak down so easily.

I bought this coat to replace an old favorite. I fully intended on buying black but when I got to the store they had one gunmetal grey that stood out from the rest. I bought that one. It has hints of lavender. I read the reviews about feather loss but bought it anyway. I have a few down coats of different brands that randomly loose feathers, mainly in the seams, but this coat's feathers actually poke through the fabric. If I'm out running errands, when I'm done, my car seat is actually littered with feathers. I considered returning it, but it's so comfortable, and the sleeve length is just right, I don't want to part with it, I'll have to deal with the feather loss, but I probably won't buy another one until LL Bean makes some improvements.

I have an old down coat that was rated to -20. I can stay outside for a very long time with this coat but with the new one....30 minutes at the most. Not warm at all.

Loved the coat, and how light weight it was, however feathers kept coming out of the jacket so I returned it.

Nice coat but my wife did not like it because the inner liner is grey and did not like that look contrasting with the black outercoat, so it was returned.

Wore it only a few times and I felt I was molting as the down came out more often than I thought was normal for a new coat. I returned it in less than a week.
