Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Primaloft Packaway Jacket

Gorgeous blue color, soft and just the right weight for cold weather either on its own or on top of layers. I wear it all the time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the temperamental zipper which is fussy and doesn't match the quality and price of the jacket.

I purchased this on sale and have been more pleased than I expected, based on earlier reviews. It is surprisingly warm given how thin it is, especially with a fleece layer underneath. I ordered a size larger , anticipating a need to layer. I'm giving only 4 stars because like many other reviewers, I would have preferred more insulation. The color is very attractive and I love that it packs into a pocket. I haven't yet had it out in a drizzle.

I loved the coat! It was so soft and cozy and I'm sure it would be warm. I wanted to love it and was looking forward to wearing it. I love L.L.Bean clothes and Medium size usually fits me well in other items, but this jacket was way too small. I was so disappointed.

Great jacket! The only thing that would make it excellent is a two-way zipper.

Typically I wear a Med in nearly everything. However, I am exchanging the Med for a Large to have enough room for a light weight sweater underneath. Looking forward to using it as a spring/fall jacket.

Ordered marine blue in petite small, beautiful color however runs big, length and through the shoulders. Had to return, not a true petite fit! For reference 5'3, 110lbs

It was a nice jacket but the size wasn't right for me - the medium would have been snug with a sweater underneath but going up a size would have been too big. Was sorry to return it.

Jacket is lightweight and fits well. I wish it had a little elastic panel to allow a little stretch around the busy line, Esp when wearing heavy layers. Not warm enough for winter wear once temps dip below 30. I have it in black and it's good for weekend, soccer field, or a night out.

The jacket looked good but it didn't seem warm enough for what I was looking for. I wanted it for my daily morning walks so I returned it

I like this jacket a lot for cooler fall days but I do wish that it was a little warmer. I guess based on the price I thought it would have a little more substance. It is nice looking though!

Bought this jacket for an upcoming trip and it was better than expected. Bought it large so I could use it to store all my stuff and not have to carry a purse and so went up 2 sizes so it wasn't obvious that I was carrying phone, wallet, sunglasses, passport, etc. going up 2 sizes also meant I could layer without making the jacket too tight, and I definitely had to layer as the jacket is not as warm as I thought it would be. The pocket for storing the jacket made a wonderful place to keep my credit cards and cash making it easily accessible but only to me. I loved the phone pocket on the outside, secure zipped pocket chest height making it hard for anyone to steal my phone. The 2 zipped pockets outside were convenient, wish the were lined with thin flannel which would have made them warmer. Blue color beautiful. Great for travel, just wish it was warmer.

The jacket fits perfect. My main reason for purchasing was all the zippered pockets. Very important for Europe travel. 4 stars only because I have not worn it in the cooler weather yet!

Nice quality perfect for the fall. Only wishing it had a hood.

Wonderful light weight jacket. Fits great and popping color.

This jacket is well made and very lightweight. I love the fit. The fabric moves well.

I bought this coat for an overseas trip. It packs well, the light blue color is very nice and lots of big pockets. The downside side is that this jacket is great when it's 50F, but not much under that. You will need a down vest or other warm layer under it. I am petite and I like the way it fits, even with multiple layers.

I wanted a lightweight jacket warm enough for a chilly spring day. I felt chilly in this even in the high 40s. Eventually I tried the Mountain Puffer jacket, which does the trick.

Nice lightweight jacket with great pockets. Wish there was a double zipper though, as it is awkward to sit down with the jacket zipped.

Pretty berry color, fits smaller than petite large packaway jacket, which I like better. Warm with layers.

I love the weight and cut of this jacket. It runs true to size and I wish it was available as a size larger or at least the arms were a bit roomier so I could wear a layer under it as I think is intended. Generally I like the jacket and will wear it in the spring and fall. A double zipper would be a good addition to this jacket.

I have tried these jackets in a few sizes and also the vest style. I am amazed at the warmth and wind resistance given they fold up into such small space. I am regrettably returning all of those I tried because none of them have reversible zippers! Seems a small detail, but with how much I move and bend, its critical for my comfort as well as keeping the fabric in good shape and not overstretching it. Hopefully in 2025??? :)

Coat is a tad long in the back, which is a bit surprising given it's petite sized. This coat does fit over a sweatshirt, and sleeves are a bit longer than I expected. It does have elastic in the cuffs so the extra length isn't a problem. Nice coat overall, I haven't packed it down yet, but I plan to use this coat for travel

Lightweight, pretty color, not quite as warm as I had anticipated. It did pack in very little space.

This is a great jacket, very stylish and warm. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 was the sizing issue. These seem to run on the smaller size so I had to send it back for one size up. Other than that great jacket and the next size up was a perfect fit.

Light weight but warm. Even with a frozen shoulder I can get it on and off easily. Attractive
