Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Primaloft Packaway Jacket

Very comfortable and light as a feather. Should come in very handy as a permanent item in my travel bag. I'm glad the silver blue color is more neutral than the aqua look in the picture. I love aqua color but this toned down version is more versatile. I "sized up" in case I need to layer in winter.

I am in a warm California climate. This jacket is perfect on windy or overcast days. It works well if it drizzles and you have a hat on. The color is a lovely light lavender. And it is really lightweight. I love it for this climate.

I bought this jacket in April to visit Yosemite National Park where the weather forecast ranged from snow, rain, lows in the 30s to highs near 70. I had no idea what kind of coat to bring and this was perfect. I layered underneath if it was colder and folded it into my backpack when it was hot. It is lightweight and packs easily without wrinkling. I have since worn it almost everyday since returning home to a Massachusetts spring. It goes with everything. It's slightly pricey but very worth the money. It's a piece I will wear for years to come.

The Spring weather is so volatile. Early mornings are cold, windy, and sometimes damp, too. By the afternoon it's sunny, warm, and breezy. At night the temperatures plummet. This jacket, so versatile, I wear it with a sweater underneath, and strip the layers as the day progress. It adjusts to the weather. I am waiting for the polar vortex to arrive next Winter, so that I can test the jacket in 35 degree weather. An excellent choice for those living in the Northern regions of the USA. Lightweight, comfortable, attractive looking garment that offers versatility to volatile Spring weather.

Nice-looking jacket, lighter than I had expected, but good for our chilly transitional seasons in Maine.

I love, love, love this jacket. It is so lightweight but very warm. Also, it easily fits in a tote bag.

The fit seems true to size. Sleeve length is perfect at the wrist. Ordered "dark marine blue" ..... it's a beautiful color! It's slightly fitted, just like the product details state; not too fitted. Seems perfect. It condenses well in a carry on or suitcase. For myself, I wear this coat when it's 25-45 degrees outside.

This jacket is very light yet keeps you warm. Perfect for running errands and being outside to walk. It is water proof, love that aspect. Just an all around great jacket! Definitely recommend.

Bought this jacket for use on chilly days and evenings in SoCal. Keeps my daughter warm in upper 30 degree weather, which is as cold as it gets where we live. The shade of blue we purchased is gorgeous. Great pockets, flattering fit, super comfortable! Thanks for another great product!

Just received a few minutes ago. The Fit is Perfect! This color Green is Gorgeous :) I'm tall and have long arms and curves. Fits like it was tailored just for me. Very light weight and comfortable; not bulky. Love Love Love it. I'm working with it on in my office! And it's 68 degrees in Texas.

This jacket is slightly fitted and very comfortable as an insulating layer when worn under my H2Off raincoat or any of my winter coats. When worn as a stand-alone jacket, the fabric glides on easily over a lightweight fleece pullover. The silver blue color is lovely with jeans or khakis.

LLBean finally got it right! Pockets! Chest pockets outside and inside. I'm using this as a liner jacket right now biking 10 miles in 20 degree weather. It will bethe outside garment when the deep freeze ends. I have not hesitated to return jackets with too few pockets.

I love this jacket. Comfortable, warm, good looking. quality product. This replaces one I bought four years ago and ripped running after my dog next to a barbed wire fence. Style of this jacket is better than the older one - this one has a waist. Both packed away easily. Thank you, LL Bean

This jacket fits like a charm, is so lightweight and comfortable on walks in the cold weather. Great for layering. It lets me get out in any weather. I'm thrilled to own this jacket!

LL Bean has been a great source of petite sizes for me! However, I feel that extra small has become a larger cut over the years! Happy to see the occasional xx-small sizes now!

I got the gray with orange trim. So very cute. It fits well and is slightly fitted. Looks feminine and not boxy. It's very light so I didn't think it would be warm, BUT it is. Fabulous purchase. Couldn't be happier.

I bought two...black and the blue. I've been wearing the jackets in 30 degree weather.

Warm, comfortable but lightweight. Since I received it, has become my primary coat for everday errands, walking for exercise and have stayed warm with lightweight sweater undeneath even in 30 degree temperature.

Ordered in xlg petite and the fit is perfect. The color is very nice and it is a very comfortable jacket to wear - very light but very warm. I would highly recommend.

This fit my needs for a warm jacket that isn't bulky.

Love this coat - lightweight but warm.

This is my second winter with this coat and I absolutely love it. It is incredibly lightweight and the fabric is so soft you can hardly feel that you're wearing it. I am generally a "cold" person and need one more layer than the rest of my family, so I love that this coat is generous enough to layer with a thick fleece or wool sweater for the really cold/windy days, but not too loose to wear over a single base layer for three season wear. I have worn it skiing, hiking, backpacking, walking my dogs, clearing brush, strolling the beach in winter and running errands around town. For extended time outdoors in truly cold conditions (10-20F) I wear a mid layer, but for running errands in my car I wear only the coat and appreciate that it's so thin it's completely comfortable to wear while driving or shopping and I don't get overheated. It does it all in a cute bright color (marine) that is so much more fun than everyone else's black puffy coats. It is sporty and casual but not sloppy. It washes and dries like a dream and so quickly! Based on the list of activities it has taken part in, you can assume its been washed many times. There is not a single loose thread or any filling leaking, moving or bunching in any way. I love the bit of elastic around the wrists to keep the cold out! The large but slim and invisible hip pockets that fit my wallet, phone and dog-walk bags. I love the large and subtle breast pockets that I can tuck my phone or ski pass in. The inside breast pocket is another plus for keeping necessities close at hand when backpacking, etc. It also works great as a pillow when camping! I'm back today to purchase one in a second color because I love it so much. I wear it constantly other than on the coldest days (10F and below) when I'm going to be outside for an extended time. Then I'm forced to pull out my long black puffy coat just like everyone else. For reference, I'm in my mid-50s, 5'6" and the jacket hits just below my hip bones. The sleeves are long enough to cover my wrists with arms extended but don't sloppily go over my hands. I'm a size 4-6, usually a 4 and this coat is comfortably loose without being baggy. Buy it and I hope it works out just as great for you!

I live in Colorado Springs on the front range of the Rocky Mountains but I'm originally from the Adirondacks in upstate New York. The winters here are relatively mild but often windy. This coat is perfect for most winter days because it is thin and lightweight yet provides adequate warmth and wind protection. It is also perfect for traveling because it self packs into a pocket and takes up little space in my luggage. I plan to use as a back up ski jacket during milder winter weather. It has quickly become my favorite jacket.

This jacket is amazing! The jacket is warm, I can wear a T-shirt under it and be comfortable. It also blocks the wind from getting into the jacket. I was surprised how lightweight it was. Great for walks on beach. True to size, slightly fitted, falls to about my hip. Love the jacket.

I purchased the currant colored jacket in petite medium for visibility while walking the dog. It is great. I can be seen by drivers. It is lightweight and I add layers when needed.
