Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Rugged Ridge Parka

This is a nice coat - very toasty on a cold winter day. I originally ordered a tall size, as I'm 6'2", but it was too long and the pockets felt awkward. I called their customer service people and the exchange went smoothly.

Easy to purchase. We had it delivered to our son at another location which was great with free shipping.

I got the carbon navy version. Great coat. Very warm and looks sharp. Great fit!

My husband loves this jacket. Wind and cold are no longer an issue. Have not tried in rain yet but this holds up to the cold, snowy weather in Buffalo.

Great Coat, keeps me warm and wears well. The only gripe I have is that it seems to lose its ability to repel water when washed.

Warm, comfortable but not too thick. My son is 6'8 and XL tall was perfect

Comfortable and true to fit. Kept me warm and dry while shoveling/plowing during a blizzard.

I'm 6'4" and 150lbs. I need to add layers for extra warmth as it's -41 degrees here in the way up north. The sleeves and length of the coat is just what I needed. Thanks llbean, you didn't let me down!

Great coat, very warm and waterproof. Fits well with room to layer. A little hard to zipper up sometimes, but that's just the nature of these double zipper coats. Highly recommended.

Very warm, fits well, waterproof and so comfortable!

Bought 2 other winter coats trying to save money, but nothing compares to LLBean warmth, function and durability. Strong zipper, Velcro buttons in case you are "just running out" and don't have time to zip. Excellent fit!

Great warm parka for the snowy days in Connecticut.

Fantastic coat. Wore it skiing at Breckenridge in five degree weather and it worked great.

I ordered this Parka in an X/L to give me more room. I love this coat, and it's very warm and comfortable. The zipper can be tricky sometimes when I am trying to zip it up. But other than that, I highly recommend this Parka to anyone who is thinking of ordering one.

Bought this for my husband to wear while we walk our dog along the beach. It's water and wind resistant and he's plenty warm with a sweatshirt underneath. He wears a hat under the hood and the wind is blocked on the sides of his face. Longer length is great tool

I have been very happy with this jacket. It is very warm in spite of being lightweight, it fits well, and it is nicely styled. It has plenty of pockets (some inside) and the zipper works well. The only problem is that the hood comes down over my eyes, but I can solve this by putting a baseball cap under the hood. Since I am allergic to down, I am very pleased to find such a great winter jacket with a hypoallergenic lining.

My husband is very happy with this coat. He especially enjoys the zip off hood and how the length keeps his backside warm while walking the dog with the single digit temps recently in Chicago. I really like the two tone blue color on him.

Quality coat Quality zippers Definitely no made in China

Quite warm and cozy. Has inner goggle pocket with attached lens wipe, glove pocket, and inner chest zipper pocket with head phone access. Love this jacket. Little restricting around the neck/chin area when fully zipped.

Warm & plenty long for really cold days. Not exactly lightweight but not uncomfortably heavy. Good soft collar and hood. Plenty of handy pockets.

Just what my husband wanted. It looks great, is waterproof, warm, and fits well.

I waited to write a review until my friend had a chance to wear the jacket because it actually looked like it was too light to offer any serious warmth. But now that it is February and we've had a lot of opportunities to wear it in sub freezing weather, the verdict is out. The jacket keeps one very warm, even too warm, even when the windchill makes it feel below zero degrees. Light and waterproof makes it a great jacket and well worth it.

I've been wearing the Rugged Ridge parka I think since it became available. I'm on my 3rd one now (bigger sizes). At below 0 temperatures, I feel like I'm in a cozy sleeping bag. Absolute shield against the worst cold I've experienced in New England. I swear by this parka. In the coldest weather, a t-shirt is often enough to wear under this beast.

Excellent Parka. Comfortable, warm and fits well. Liked it immediately when I first out it on. I wear it all the time. Keeps me warm especially on recent cold mornings walking my dogs.

I really like this jacket. Keeps me plenty warm and the medium fits me well at 5'5" and 175 lbs. The very best feature is the two-way zipper which allows for easy bending without stressing the zipper. To make this coat perfect it needs a metal zipper and snaps instead of Velcro for the wind flap.
