Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Primaloft Packaway Jacket

The jacket is great. It is so lightweight feeling but still warm enough for running back and forth to the car and running errands. You don't mind leaving it on while in the car because it does not feel bulky at all but still warm when you step outside. I love the 2 breast pockets....1 one the outside and 1on the inside. Perfect to drop your cell phone in for quick retrieval and you can still hear your notifications easily. The only flaw...it is a little tight across the shoulders and upper arms. I have big upper arms so I have to tug a little in the armpit to get the sleeve up all the way. This is not a deal breaker but the coat would be perfect if this issue was addressed. I love the jacket and have not had any other size issues even when wearing several shirt layers underneath.

I am a big fan of this jacket and recently purchased a second color. It is lightweight and fits me perfectly. I live in a cold area so I do not wear this as my primary winter coat (not quite warm enough), however it gets a ton of use because it is absolutely perfect as a layer over my fleece items, especially when walking or exercising outdoors. It really is perfect for that and I love that there is no bulk. Also great to throw on for errands, running in and out of stores, and as a fall and spring jacket. It is a little pricey but I get so much use out of it that I'm ok with that.

I absolutely love this jacket. It's so nice to have a warm jacket that doesn't make me look bigger than I already am. It's a perfect fit and incredibly warm. I love the marine blue color. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the light blue zipper against the darker marine blue. I would have preferred something that blended in. I highly recommend this jacket!

Absolutely love this jacket and the beautiful , blue green color! WIsh they came in plus sizes for others!

The color I ordered was light blue. Because the lining is teal, the jacket appears to be more teal than blue. It worked out perfectly with my brown turtleneck and brown pants. The color is gorgeous. It is warm and the fit is as good as the 850 sweater. Since I have sensitive skin and is allergic to wool and some fleeces (e.g. LL Bean's),this jacket and the 850 are the only "sweaters" I wear year round (in air-conditioning rooms in the summer and in slightly heated rooms in the winter).

I just received my new coat and it fits perfectly. Since I have not worn it in cold and snowy weather, I do not know how it will perform. What I love about it is that the hood has a chin/neck protector to keep wind away and the coat is warm, yet very light weight. I don't feel like I am lugging around a heavy coat just to keep me warm.

I was thrilled my size was available in winter white and on sale! Having a light weight packable jacket is super versatile. Its a jacket to keep you warm in a Northeastern early Spring and Fall.

This is my second color! Perfect weight for fall in the south. Quick delivery!

I love everything about this jacket. Great fit and toasty warm. I love the color. Perfect for long morning walks in Chicago.

Great featherweight jacket for early fall or late spring if worn alone. Especially useful for layering, it has almost endless combinations. Does not add bulk. Definitely a staple for those who live in cooler temps.

This is my go to jacket for Spring and Fall . I purchased it in December of 2019. Now that fall has arrived in Chicago I get to enjoy it again. it is wonderfully made. I wanted a jacket other than a zipped sweatshirt for the Spring and Fall and this jacket is perfect. Very professional looking on and light weight yet warm as advertised. I love the breast pocket is easy to use for my cell phone. Since I am short, I do prefer 2 way zippers as 2 way zippers make it more comfortable for driving and sitting. Thank you LL Bean.

I like my jackets a little large so I can wear something bulky under them if needed. This jacket is perfect for spring and fall - especially shopping. It is not bulky, but keeps me warm. I also own the bulkier/warmer L.L.Bean jackets for winter and appreciate this one being available for those slightly warmer days. Definitely a keeper.

Fits well; long enough to extend to mid-hip (I've found some Bean products a bit on the short side, but not this one). Temperature rating, at least for the "light activity" category is accurate--about 35F. Surprisingly adequate for light weight jacket--neither too warm nor too cool in a range of temps (mid 50F to mid 35F; not a "steambath" like down can create). Not sure if I'd try to wear it alone in a sub-zero blizzard, though--at least not without having another layer on hand. Could also fit under a heavier jacket, or over a fleece, if needed. Fits into its own pocket--travels well, smooshes up small, shakes out wrinkles, looks spiffy, could double as a pillow. Got the "blue green"--a bit greener than blue, but still a pleasing color to my mind. Outer fabric seems thin, as if it might snag, but no problems to date (have worn for half a season).

I have had a version of this jacket for several years, and it has held up very well. Truly my "go-to" jacket, great for traveling and everyday use in northern Illinois. Fine on its own on many days from fall through spring, and great with added layers when it is colder in the winter. When my old jacket was accidentally ripped in March 2020, I replaced it with the current model. This new version is great! Same light weight and comfortable construction, nice color (blue), and just a little bit longer than my old version. The internal pocket is new and much appreciated.

As I already had another jacket just like this one, I knew I was going to be getting a jacket that fit just right and was comfortable, kept me warm on cold days, and because it is packable, it was very easy to pack it when I was traveling. This is why I had to have another one in a different color.

I bought this jacket for a trip we were supposed to take to Ireland this month that was cancelled due to the Coronavirus. I bought a Petite Medium in black and it fits perfectly. As always, LL Bean's service was fantastic!!

This jacket is a wonderful combination of lightweight and warm and cozy. It's perfect for travel, for walks, for everyday life. I love it.

I have admired these for some time; they're wind proof, perfect for layering, and attractive as well. It has become my go-to for all kinds of weather.

Love this jacket and color of juniper . So light and easy to pack for trips. My go to jacket for shopping. Love the style and fit. Want to purchase one with hood and looking forward to sale pricing .

I read other reviews prior to purchasing this jacket and am pleased with this purchase. I am pleasantly surprised at how lightweight it is yet still warm and wind resistant. I purchased the navy which really isn't navy. The color is closer to a Prussian blue. It's still a nice color--just not navy. I don't mind a chilly day as long as I'm warm and this jacket kept me warmer than expected. On one really windy day I added a vest and stayed toasty warm in weather of about 5 degrees.

I just received my jacket. I bought a medium regular. I love it! It does fit snug around the rib cage so I will not be wearing thicker layers under this. I would suggest ordering a size larger if you do want to wear a thicker sweater or hoodie under it.

Got it for my wife and it is very light so we can keep it in the car for her to wear.

I have decided i love this jacket. I walk my 3 dogs daily and this jacket keeps me warm in weather 30-50 degrees and knocks down the wind. I purchased a large so i could layer a sweatshirt or sweater underneath. It's roomy and covers my butt which is great! Super lightweight jacket and the blue/green is a great color!

Love it! Light and warm. Cozy comfortable

This jacket fit me perfectly. Generally, unless a jacket comes in a "tall" size, sleeves are too short for me, but these sleeves are long enough! I got this as a required item type for a guided rim to rim hike of Grand Canyon coming up September 2020. It's a great layering piece that can go over a base layer to provide good warmth. It is water repellant and, in soaking rain, it's low bulk enough that my breathable rain shell fits nicely over it for a truly waterproof, warm ensemble. It's been perfect over a t-shirt for our Florida "cold", but is not sufficient by itself for more serious type cold weather. Even if pretty cold in the Canyon - I think it will be perfect while hiking/active. I'm very pleased with how lightweight and compressible it is - as it will add very little weight to my backpack for the warmer stretches of my Grand Canyon adventure and other hikes! Sorta pricey so waited til 20% off sale. Thanks for these nice sales and this beautiful jacket LL Bean! The two tone blue is very pretty and a bit unique without being odd.
