Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Waterproof Primaloft Packaway Jacket

I bought this jacket nearly 2 years ago. It kept me warm and dry through a huge winter storm with lots of snow and temperatures dropping -20 Fahrenheit. I was walking outside in it with a couple of layers underneath and felt great. I continued to wear it during spring and fall. It's light and has a lot of functional pockets. The outside pockets are deep enough to hold cell phones, keys, scarf. It doesn't overheat me when wearing in the spring and fall, but manage to keep me warm during cold winter. It's worth the high price tag Last year I bought a 2nd one, in the blue color. For some reason, it didn't have the same warmth. I returned it. My plan is to purchase another one, more neutral color like black for myself, and the purple one for my mom. Hopefully they are the same quality as of my 1st one. That one is still holding strong. This jacket was my 1st purchase from LLBEAN and I had such a good experience that I have since bought more things.

The arms fit tightly when wearing a fleece underneath.

I bought this jacket to bring with me to Alaska. It was packable and you can also roll it up and stuff it into an inside pocket. It doesn't get real small - maybe the size of a football. It has lots of pockets, a hood and unzips both ways, top and bottom. It's warm and lightweight. I highly recommend!

This is a well made midweight thigh-length jacket that works well at insulating against temps down to the low 40's, and is water proof and has some wind resistance. It is light weight and packable, and worked well on our recent spring trip to Toronto, Canada on all but the coldest and windiest days.

Great, been wearing it for 3 winters

Great jacket! Just returned from a trip overseas and wore this jacket almost every day. It kept me warm on cold windy days in the 40's. I wore it to the airport then squished it into my carry-on duffel for the flight. Well placed pockets, nicely designed hood. Highly recommend.

Lightweight yet warm for chilly days! Waterproof and packable are added bonus for travel.

Are there any plans to make this jacket in larger wormen's size

Excellent coat - great for travel & worth every penny!!

This jacket is a bit longer and bigger the unlined waterproof shell I have from LLBean, which is good as I wear it with the sweater fleece jacket. With both of those, it is warm enough in weather in the 30s with wind. The zip pockets are big enough for fleece gloves and hat and the inside pockets useful too. I would only question why the knit cuffs as well as velcro at the sleeve hem? If you need enough cooling for zip pits, you probably want the option of the chimney effect of air through the sleeves too. I may trim them off, but will see about how I feel in warmer weather. Have not had much waterproof testing as yet, but so far so good. .

I originally bought this jacket about three years ago in purple. Aside from day-to-day use and let's say spring or autumn here in New York. I bought it primarily for travel. Was perfect going to Iceland in September and Alaska in August. Leaving soon to take another trip to Japan and I got the The off-white color because I wanted it to be a little bit more spring looking. I have definitely worn it in the rain and I was dry. Yay!

Jacket fits well and looks stylish and is warm without being too bulky. It has a sufficient amount of pockets. It was perfect for some mild weather at Vail and Keystone without needing under layers. It's a bit pricey, but LLBean stands behind their guarantee, so it was a good buy,

This jacket will be the only jacket I will ever purchase again. It is not bulky and keeps me warm. Highly recommended!

This is the third time I have purchased this same jacket. It fits well, is incredibly comfortable, warm enough for all but the coldest weather and looks great. I have recommended it to other friends. I purchased a Petite Medium which fits well even over layers.

The perfect in-between jacket for a northeast winter. I like the lighter weight and the fact that it's waterproof. With its packability it will become my favorite travel jacket as well.

I received the coat as a present from my husband for a trip. Love coat. Very comfortable and great purple color.

This is the most comfortable waterproof jacket I've ever worn...soft & quiet...packable..fits nicely over a thin down jacket when temps get brutal. I actually bought this jacket to replace an identical one I bought 8 years ago..it's traveled overseas and on dailing outings to our dog park...keeps me dry & warm & looking good!

The jacket is very nice and I love the fact that it's packable. The fit is true, and it seems plenty warm. It's a very nice jacket from what I can see so far. I'm very glad I bought it.

Love this jacket. It's light weight but so warm and kept me dry while out in a downpour all day.

LOVE this jacket!!! It's extremely well-made and comfortable. I purchased the blue color, which I love, in a medium petite. It fits perfectly. Alot of thought went into the design of this jacket. I bought this for an upcoming trip to Ireland in anticipation of cool, damp weather and for walking my dog. I actually look forward to wearing it!

Thus jacket is warm without the bulk. Love the pit zips too.

Just bought this jacket for a winter trip to Iceland. With fleece underneath, was perfectly warm and dry even in high winds and hail. Love the light weight and the packable option. The one thing I would add would be a double zipper so it could be loosened for ice caving and other more active pursuits, but highly recommend snyway.

This jacket is perfectly packable and warm! Recently in zero-degree weather and was toasty. Excellent good, lots of pocket, and a gorgeous color.

Very comfortable and not too bulky .. exactly what I was looking for.

I love everything about this jacket: the fit, sleeve length, sleeve cuffs, deep pockets, light weight yet amazing warm and waterproof, the length, et al! Great for travel and every day winter needs. I purchased a large, regular and it's perfect! Extra room for an additional layer if needed.
