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

I've been wearing L.L. Bean coats for over 25 years, and in the last 5 years the quality of the coats has rapidly deteriorated. The coat is not warm, and has cold spots, likely due to uneven dispursment of down. I bought two coats this coat was for cold but not bitter cold days in the Chicago suburbs. I also purchased the new Warm Core down coat. The materials used in the pockets and inner wrist are the lowest of quality. I made my purchases using my debit card, as I do not have a single creditcard, drove to the brick and mortar L.L. Bean South Barrington, needless to say they refused cash back on a debit card purchase. Providing Cash back on debit card purchases customers are satisfied,risk is minimized, and earning potential is enhanced. While I do not expect L.L. Bean to use this review, alas my first use of social media will begin.

This coat smells deplorable, even after it was washed. Disgusting. Definitely returning. Three years ago I ordered a similar one from LL Bean and it was great! Something is definitely wrong with this batch. Sad.
