Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Primaloft Packaway Jacket

Love this jacket but join many of your other customers asking that you stop putting your logo on your clothes! A lot of us dislike being a walking billboard and I have friends who will not buy your clothes that have it displayed!

True to size. Fits and feels great. The blue-green color appears more turquoise on the online photos. It is actually a Teal Color.

Beautiful, light weight jacket. The fit around the belly is perfect. The fit around the arms is somewhat tight.

The jacket fits great and is very light weight, yet warm. Just what I was looking for to take to Alaska in the spring. That said, I like the jacket but hate the cheap looking logo on the front. I've been buying LLBean products for many years and really don't like the visable logos that are now appearing on all the jackets/shirts. Please go back to your clean classic look.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I love the style and colors. It's a perfect spring and fall jacket. The fit was perfect other that the waist being a bit too tailored for me - thus I took 1 star off. I prefer a little roomier fit through the middle.

I have an older packaway jacket in petite XL which I wear when temps are over 35F. It's thin and light and packs up small. But it's too snug to wear over layers, so I ordered a 1X. The red ochre color is rich and not as bright as pictured. The fit is great except across the back and in the shoulders, which don't seem any bigger than the regular XL I tried on in the store. So skip this if you run broad across the back, but if you don't it's a super nice jacket.

I bought this to use for camping - I was looking for a light jacket that would be easy to keep clean, wouldn't wrinkle, and super packable while giving me something to stay warm during the evenings. This jacket fits the bill, but is thinner and not as warm as I expected. It's more akin to a sweater in terms of warmth, but much better in the wind. I find I often need to wear a long-sleeved shirt under it if the weather is on the cool side (under 60 degrees for me).

I normally wear a size XS in many LL Bean products, but I decided to get a size small so that I could layer if I wanted. The size small gave room to layer a Tee and a fleece top. The jacket is cute, and I like the color (light blue). I don't think that it's as warm as the temperature rating, so I'm glad that I got the roomer size to layer. The jacket seems to be of good quality. I love the light weight, and it will come in handy to pack in a suitcase because you can fold the jacket into it's own pocket.

I love this jacket, especially the blue-green color. At first I was a little disappointed that it was not puffier, but having worn it frequently, it keeps me warm with little weight. My only complaint is that I haven't been able to figure out how to pack it into its pocket -- please consider including instructions in future.

I liked this jacket and it fit perfect. I've worn it twice and the weather during this time was moderately cold. The jacket is rather thin but keep me warm. Don't have an opinion as to how it will hold up in very cold weather.

I so wish if you offer 'extended' sizes in something that it went both ways. There are many women who would love this jacket but need it larger. In fact, I'm a solid 16 and I can't wear this in an XL comfortably (given where I carry my weight). For similar reasons just wearing the man's cut doesn't work either for some body shapes. Do right by plus size women and offer extended sizing fairly both smaller for petites and larger for plus!

Perfect for wearing under my Bean gortex rain jacket. It's a little long on length and sleeve even though I got large petite. Keeping it.

I would ave liked much better if it had a 2-way zipper like my other LL Bean jackets I have purchased in the past my vest also have 2 way zippers makes it much more comfortable when sitting in a car all day

The jacket fits very well, is attractive, and wonderfully lightweight. I have not yet packed it for travel, but I am sure it will take up little space in the suitcase. My only 'complaint' is that it does not provide the warmth indicated by the LL Bean rating in the catalog. Even with both undershirt and sweater or fleece, in addition to a normal long sleeved tee, there is NO WAY I could wear this jacket and be comfortable when the temp is +30' or lower, yet the ad suggested a range of +25 to -15'

I have used the jacket as a layer under my raincoat and alone on a mild day. I got the red color. It is nice and bright for evening dog walk.

I love the color and lightweightness of this jacket. Though I love it, I gave it 4 stars since it does run small and is more fitted than I like. It kept me warm with 2 layers underneath, but was a bit too snug when zipped up. I kept it since I was headed out on a trip to Yellowstone. If I had time, I would have returned for a larger size.

This is just what I'd been looking for, and I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because WHY OH WHY didn't you put a 2-way zipper in it like most of your other women's jackets? A huge oversight.

I liked the material and weight but wish it came in womens sizes like 1x, 2x, etc. Then I would not have had to return it to you for a refund. It was too tight around the body. I was really hoping that it would fit me. I love it.

Very pleased with the purchase. Must wear with medium weight garnet to get benefit of being warm. Not crazy about the pocket on the front. I prefer inside pockets. Bought the greenish colored jacket. Looks nice.

My husband, children and I received this jacket for Christmas. I love the jacket and the fit is great. Can my family ski in these jackets in Colorado in January? I'm wondering if they will be warm enough?

Living in NE FL we still have COLD winters. This is a great layer piece. It can not be used alone below 45 degrees, it needs a fleece under or jacket over it to stay warm. I have the teal, beautiful color and love the way it packs up, great size. It will go back because I don't need another "layer", I wanted a coat on its own.

I would call this a fall and spring jacket, not a winter jacket. It is a lot thinner than it looks online. It isn't really warm enough for anything under 35 degrees.

We love this coat. We bought 4 of them for various family members. The turquoise and blue coats are lovely. My only negative is that the "red currant" color on my computer looked like red with a black zipper, but what came was (redish) orange with a dark grey zipper. The color is just too orange for me.

This jacket has some shape and I love the color. It's not too bulky and accommodates two thin layers. Great for fall days, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it again in early Spring, but this jacket is not really warm enough for daily use in Winter on Cape Cod.

I thought it was going to be thicker than it is, but it is fine for cool fall days. I'm not sure it will be very warm in cold winter weather. I bought a size larger than I normally due, thinking I'd need the extra room for a heavy sweater.
