Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Rugged Ridge Parka

Really Liked The Lightweight Nature Of This Coat Without Giving Up On Warmth Or Giving In To The Cold; When Out In Cold-Blustery Days, You Get The Feeling The Wind And Cold Goes Around Your Body.The Cold Air Does Not Stop Or Take A Detour At Your Body. The Inner Sleeve Adds An Extra Barrier To The Cold Without Getting Bunched Up. The Addition Of The Inner Sleeve Is Not Mentioned In Item Description. The Fleece Neck Warmer While It May Seem Incidental, Really Adds To The Total Package. Expensive But Very Worthwhile.

was planning as a work coat but is to nice. has pocket on inside also which isn't in advertisement. hasn't been real cold not sure how warm but, with my two work shirts zippers nice with room (not baggy). long at waist really important to me.(down to crack of butt)

My husband usually gets 3X, but a previous review stated that a 6ft person weighing 250 lbs, got 2X, and it fit fine. This fit perfectly.

The rugged ridge parka is just what I wanted. It is an excellent fit. It is very light and comfortable. There are plenty of pockets. Usually the hood would bother me, but not this parka, you don't even know it's there. I purchased the black & grey. Yesterday I purchased the blue one that is on backorder. Definitely buy this parka.

Great Jacket, fits very nice and for a light weight jacket, it keeps you very warm. Comfortable and great looking plus good pocket storage

Very nice jacket. Very warm. I should have got the XXL

Coat is very comfortable and warm. Really like the style.

I am an XL Tall. It's tough to find coats- I have long (36") arms. This coat in this size is perfect- the sleeves are long enough. The coat is very light, but very warm and well designed. I am completely satisfied.

I bought the jacket for my husband, and he loves it. It's comfortable and keeps him warm. We live in California and need to drive to snow, but it gets down to freezing at night. So we do need warm clothes.

Fits well. Can put a sweater underneath. Arms are long enough. Wind-proof.

The parka fit my husband well. The varied color choices were good. I was impressed by the construction, the seaming, removable hood, the heavy weight zippers and well thought out pockets both inside and out. The length was great. Overall an excellent coat that he should be able to wear for many years. He really liked this coat. I would definitely purchase this coat again.

I replaced a similar one which I had for 10 years. Love what you did with with wind catcher in sleeves. It makes walking my dogs more enjoyable. Willi Meisinger

Very good Winter Jacket. I highly recommend this if you are living in North or NE .

Grandson needed new ski parks and this was perfect.Plenty of pockets for phone and other accessories.

This is my second Rugged Ridge Parka. THE first was bought in W. Lebanon NH about 4 years ago. It was returned to the store soon thereafter. The LLB store was 15 miles from our home, so I shopped frequently. That parka just did not feel right and was not warm enough. It was a large size, and I have dropped about 17% since then - not by choice. Now living in OH, with winter arriving soon, I decided to try again. I am more sensitive to cold now. After studying the sizes and reviews I decided to get the medium. Good decision. The parka arrived in November. It fit well. Comfortable with just a L/S cotton shirt. And it still fits well wearing a Bean light weight base layer, plus L/S shirt, plus a medium weight fleece. I needed to spend time outside this evening in 18 degrees, windy. I was standing stationary +/-. I was wearing the Parka, light weight base layer, and long sleeve cotton shirt. For the half hour I was outside I was comfortable. I was wearing a (from Bean) Stormy Kromer hat. I did not use the hood. The only mildly negative comment is about operating the spring loaded cord clamps on the skirt and waist adjusters. After returning home it was time to remove all the display tags. It is a Keeper. The Rugged Ridge Parka kept the wind out, kept me warm and fit well. Thanks for listening.

I bought both the Large/Tall and the Large/Regular. I like them both. The Tall is about an inch too long in the sleeves and body. But in colder, wetter weather that's good. Generous width, can accommodate layers underneath. The jacket slides easy on and off. Very warm and light. My new favorite winter jacket.

Fit was perfect for the XL that I ordered.

Size is pretty accurate. Slightly large but leaves room from heavier clothes to be worn under it, if needed. Jacket is lighter than my previous winter jacket but keeps me just as warm in cold weather. Seems to be well made. I am happy with the purchase and would buy again.

I bought this jacket for my husband, and he's very happy with it. It's perfect for cold and rainy weather. And it's light weight. We live in the California Bay Area, and it's just right.

Just got this coat a short time ago. It fits loosely, and I like it that way. There is absolutely no binding or restriction of movement. It feels like you're wearing a shirt. It it light in weight, but not light on warmth. A coat this lightweight shouldn't be this warm, yet it is. The breathable, waterproof shell also makes the coat very versatile. There are numerous built-in features that show how well thought-out the design is. My wife is always cold. I gotta get her one of these, too.

Taking the dog out can be a challenge in Minnesota winters. It's December and -9 degrees this morning already. The Rugged Ridge parka proved warm and comfortable, and it's impervious to wind and rain. Best of all it's lighter in weight than others in my closet. It's a great buy and a great fit. Thanks LLBean for renewing this classic.

Great coat, warm, comfortable and easy on the pocket book for quality received.

This was purchased for my husband as he needed a new winter coat. So far so good. My husband likes the two way zipper. He was between a medium and large - I went with the large so he could have room to layer. It hasn't been super cold yet, so I don't know what he will think of the warmth factor. I have had my rugged ridge parka for about five years now, and it is quite warm.

The parka is exactly what it'd hoped for and expected from LL Bean. The quality is excellent. The cell phone pocket is a bit snug if you have a large phone. I have an iPhone X Max which is a tight fit.

Purchased this parka to replace the down parka I purchased four years ago. Just learned that I am allergic to feathers so can't wear it anymore. The Ridge Parka fits true to size. Chicago is currently experiencing 20 degree temperatures so I know the parka is warm. I need to get used to wearing it.
