Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Waterproof Primaloft Packaway Jacket

Just the loud and obnoxious music on the video turns me off even though I loved he color of this coat. Not much info on how warm it might be. Not interested!

I bought this jacket in December and have worn it on multiple hiking/backpacking trips. Anytime I wear it, I'm still cold even with a base layer and midlayer under. I took this backpacking in the rain/cold and within two hours of hiking I was completely soaked. This jacket is no where near as warm or waterproof as advertised or for the price. Also, it doesn't dry fast at all. Once it was soaked through it took two days for it to dry out. I am returning it and looking into buying other brands for a winter jacket that's waterproof.

I returned this. It was too tight in the hips and I'm not overweight. I don't know why you even make jackets this long that don't have a two way zipper.

I wanted to love this coat because of the deep, true purple color but it's going back. I ordered a small petite and it was a good fit everywhere but the sleeves which were a good three inches too long. The sleeves were so long I couldn't rely on just tightening the velcro because then they bunched up all the way to the shoulders, making the coat unwearable.

There are bulky zippers under the arms that make wearing the jacket painful and awkward. What is the purpose of the zippers? What function could they possibly serve in the armpit?

It's not as warmed as advertised and I'm not happy considering how much I paid for this jacket. Will be researching other brands in the future.

So disappointed in the lack of warmth of this jacket. I purchased it at the LLBean store. I was trying on different winter coats and saleslady urged me to purchase this jacket. I came for a warm cozy coat for the Berkshire winters. She assured me of this coats warmth , waterproof shell, packability. I was looking for something to keep me warm during my cold winter morning walks. Well I've worn it three mornings when it has been 29 to 34 degrees. I get chilled. The jacket doesn't feel warm inside when I take it off. I live an hours drive away from the store and haven't been able to try to return it. I paid alot of money for what turned out to be a three season coat. Not a winter coat. It looks great, but wish I hadn't listened to the salesclerk.
