Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Primaloft Packaway Long Vest

Very nice vest. Good for just a little bit more warmth. Very packable

My wife loves it. Especially appreciate that it is longer in the back where cold air could hit.

Not bulky, but still warm. Mesh sides allow for a snug personalized fit. I especially like the longer length to keep my back protected. Only suggestion would be to add snaps in addition to the zipper.

It runs big so reordering in smaller size. Love the look and quality!

I bought this vest for my daughter. She loves the long length and warmth of it.

I like the length and light weightiness of this vest. I bought a size XL to put a hoodie sweatshirt under it for walks in the park. Kept me warm in 30 degree weather. The inside pocket is a nice touch.

Love the longer length and it's the perfect weight!

I like the style. It's the only hooded, long length sleeveless vest I could find. (I had been looking off and on for a while) It fits well. I purchased 2x plus. I could have ordered 1x except I wanted to wear it over bulky sweaters I have in fall. It's very comfortable. I wanted something to wear over heavy sweaters that would not add extra weight or be bulky. This fits the bill. I would recommend it.

I love this vest. I am about a size 18/20 5'10 & this fits perfectly. Very flattering & worth every (expensive) penny

Bought one a few years ago. LOVE it. Whether breezy, foggy, rainy or just cold, it protects. Perfect for working on a medical campus, frequently darting from building to building. A full jacket is just too much to leave on all day. This vest is super light weight & the hood is at the ready. It dries out fast. The 2 side zip pockets are roomy (all zippers work well). Favorite feature: the LARGE inside zip left breast pocket. ALL women's jackets should have a secure pocket, even just a small one for a card. I keep an extra mask, cash, tickets & ID in it. The fabric is sheer making the inside pocket invisible. Although I bought a 2nd, just to have, in case LLB stops making them, this one shows no wear. I would like to be able to buy the "same" vest with the regular fabric on the sides. Did not order other than black as I prefer the sides match the rest of the vest. This garment is my constant companion while travelling. Would like LLB to consider extending the shoulders to be cap-sleeves (for rain). 5 well deserved stars.

This vest is a great lightweight vest that still keeps you warm. I am between a small and medium on top -- I went with a medium with this vest so that I could wear some layers underneath it. Also, because it is long and goes past my hips, the medium provided a little more space in the hip area -- the small had a more fitted look on me, but was a little tight in the hips.

So flattering and light. Very well made. Was an awesome gift and much appreciated by the recipient

I picked this vest because of the length, as I'm 5'8" with a long torso. It covers my behind in the back, and the 2X (my usual size) is roomy enough to zip over a slightly bulky sweatshirt.

Very flattering longer length with double zipper, I love so much I have 3 of them.

When i bought it years ago it only came in blue, but now more choices, as the blue is a bit dull. But it is so great, 2 way zipper, can wear under another jacket. Very light, not bulky, stylish!

It is warm and fashionable. The design is quite slimming. Not bulky at all. I love it!!

I bought this for my daughter. It looks great on her, fits true to size and the color is more of a salmon than pink.

Love it's length. It's warm and not bulky. The fit is perfect.

I bought this on a whim at one of the outlets on a visit to Maine. It has turned out to be the best purchase. I wear it year round in Idaho , it is lightweight so it can be an easy light layer, but also warm enough to wear in the winter with other layers. It fits over multiple layers but doesnt look sloppy when it is just a vest over a dress for me in warmer months. I love the length which is a bit longer and works nicely for those of us who dont like waist cut coats and vests, it covers my rear, the fit and the feel are perfect. I am tempted to buy back up in case this one ever dies but it is on its 3rd year of very regular wear, with no signs of failing.

I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I was worried I was spending too much but it's perfect. It's nice and thin, keeps me warm and is long enough to cover my bum. I hate being hot and find full coats to be bulky and cumbersome. I wish the hood was removable but it's not a deal breaker and I feel like I could remove it if I really wanted. I really love this vest. I got a large and feel as though I have enough room for a medium bulky sweater/sweatshirt underneath. And although I haven't tried yet I think I can fit a heavier coat over it. So far it's exactly what I wanted. I'm in a time of life where I'm warm all the time and might be able to make it through a whole winter with just this vest.

Love the extra length so it is less boxy in style.

I wear this vest daily as well as for travelling. The pockets have zippers and the internal pocket is huge! I now have this vest in 2 colors. Would recommend to everyone.

A little long, hangs a little below the butt. I'm 5'7 and 148 and a small fit perfect.

Love the two ways in order and how it covers over the bottom. The panels on the side allow some give-and-take

Wonderful for cold days. Love the length. Wish I had this 5 years ago!
