Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Ultralight 850 Down Hooded Jacket

I love this down jacket- it has great lines, is lightweight and warm. I like its hood because it isn't bulky and fits nicely over a warm stocking cap. I picked the blue color and am especially pleased with the contrasting zipper color. The sleeves are long, yet snug at the wrist.

The color and fit of this jacket is great. Big enough to put a heavy sweater under. Love that these come in petite sizes.

It met exceptions and exceeded them in terms of lightness and warmth.

So warm, and I love the color. I like the length as well - not to short or too long. This is much warmer than my other down sweater jackets. 5'4" 128 lbs with broad shoulders and the small is perfect!!

It Fits so perfectly in petite. I'm 5' 5 140lbs. It's ultralight yet super warm. The material is super beautiful

I like this coat because it is Comfortable, warm and packable

I bought this cute jacket for cross country skiing in Wisconsin. When I received the jacket, I doubted it would keep me warm because it is so lightweight. I tested it out on a fitness walk. The weather was mostly cloudy, 25 deg. F, 7 mph wind, and 17 deg. wind chill. No snow on the ground. I wore a base layer and a polypropylene t-neck. It felt perfect for the weather the moment I stepped out the door (no warm up needed) and I stayed warm and dry throughout the walk. I didn't use the hood on the walk, but what I like about the hood is that you can put the hood up and it stays up without needing to tighten it down - in other words, it doesn't easily blow off your head even in Wisconsin wind. I'm 5'6" and 120 lbs and the size small is just right.

Love Love Love this jacket. It is light which is great for backpacking, yet is keeps me very warm and toasty. It packs into itself, which is awesome. A very solid jacket

The fit is perfect for me. I'm 5 ft 6" tall and weigh 120#. Sleeve length is also perfectslightly longer sleeve so I can partially cover my hands. Terrific pockets. Beautiful color. The one negative is the zipperI wish it were a 2-way zipper that could be unzipped from the bottom as well.

What first caught my eye was the color - royal plum. Then I tried it on - what a comfortable, lightweight jacket! Even sweaters aren't this light! I've worn it on cooler (above 36 degree) days with just a light layer - warm as toast (but not overheated). OK, I thought, but what about when it gets really cold? We've just had a few days where the temps were in the 20s and add in wind - this jacket handled it like a dream! Again, only had a lightweight fleece top on, and I did not feel cold at all. Pockets are deep (and they zip closed). Hood is comfortable - not too big, and but not skimpy, either. A nice overall length, too - it falls to your lower hips. And you know how winter coats and jackets weigh down your shoulders after wearing them for a while? Not this one! It's like wearing whipped cream! The only thing that could make this jacket absolutely perfect would be to make it waterproof! But I'm sure that would add to the overall weight, so until you can figure out how to do that, LL Bean, just keep it the way it is!

Very light weight, and extremely warm. Great Jacket!!

The last few years I have purchased womens northface small jackets and they are tight around the boobs. I purchased an extra small of this jacket and it fits like a dream. I bought 2 just in case they stop making them in the future.

Super light, comfortable and warmer than expected. Also looks cute. Love color.

This coat is warm! It fits beautifully and is so lightweight. I brought this jacket on a backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon. It kept me warm in the evenings when the temperatures dipped to below freezing. I loved that it was so lightweight and warm.

Love this jacket. It's amazingly light and very warm. The hood helps on a windy day. I had a lighter version of this sort of jacket in the past and was often cold when wearing it. This jacket solved that problem for me. Really pleased and would recommend highly recommend it.

Very warm and wind proof. I'm 5'11" and fit is perfect...I have long arms and this fits perfectly. Plum color is beautiful, hood is nice and jacket is extremely light. I live in NH and plan to ski in this.

This is a great jacket. But - at 5'2' & 115lbs the petite small was too small, unlike other LLBean clothes. I reordered the petite medium and its perfect for my needs. Haven't used it in a cold climate yet, but easily can layer with this jacket. Sleeves might be a tad too long, but not a big deal for me.

This jacket is just what I was looking for in that the hood doesn't smother me, and it's exceptionally lightweight and warm.

This jacket is lightweight and warm. My 11 yr old niece got the xs. She feels very stylish in it! I purchased one for myself last year and love it. Runs a bit big but I live in Vermont and always have an underlayer on!

A couple of years ago I ordered one of these without a hood and loved it but soon realized that I needed a hood for windy and rainy days, so now I have two in different colors. They are just right for winter in Northern California.

Really a very very light and warm down jacket - lovely color.

The color is very nice. The jacket is very warm and light weight. Perfect for Western NY weather. Love it!

Beautiful color and great price! Love this jacket's versatility.

A great coat - beautiful color and accents - pink and teal - love it! Fits true to size. I usually buy my puffy jackets elsewhere but I must say I am impressed with LL Bean!

I love these jackets, they're warm without being bulky. I have a few of these jackets and like the new colors that come out and always fall for the bright cheery colors. This one is so pretty and Sugarplum is the perfect name for it - it's not what I was expecting - it's prettier!
