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

Warm and comfy! I'm a ski coach in VT and I wear this under a shell....keeps me toasty on the most frigid days! Hood fits over helmet nicely. Love the stuff sack, so I can pack it in my bag without all the bulk.

This jacket is PERFECT for walking in temps 32 and below. Any warmerand it's TOO warm. For those complaining that the jacket isn't warm enough, I would suspect that it isn't if you're just standing still or walking at a slow pace. I walk at about 4 mph, so it's plenty warm for that. The small fit, but it was a little too fitted to layer if I wanted that option. So I got a medium. And the color? I purchased the deep lagoon and it is stunning! It's the prettiest color jacket I've ever had! And I absolutely love that this jacket is SO lightweight. I highly recommend. I do prefer the big baffle down jacket with the interior sleeve cuffs. However, the colors of that jacket were kind of boring. And having had the big baffle down jacket in the past, I can say that this ultralight down jacket is just as warm.

It's light but warm. It's comfortable to drive in. And the hood really helps when it's cold and windy.

So happy with this jacket. It is warm, comfortable and practical. It fits true to size and I would absolutely buy it again and recommend it!

It is exactly as described. Light weight and warm.

I really like this jacket! I got it about a week or so ago, and it has been great so far for a winter in Boston. Today was the best test. It was about 28 degrees with a wind chill factor of 22 degrees, but the wind was whipping and it seemed much colder. I had a light sweater and a fleece on and I put my jacket on with the hood up and a hat and turtle fur neck warmer. I often run cold, but the only part of me that was cold for my 30 minute walk were my legs. I had jeans on, and the wind whipped right through the material, making my lower body cold. My upper body was not cold at all! I consider this a big success!! Also, the blue I ordered is really nice - it has a bit of a pop to it! I first ordered a 2x, but it was way too big. I sent it back and got a 1x in return. This fits perfectly and looks nice. Oh, the other thing is, I can't believe how light and packable it is! So strange that some of my thicker jackets are not as warm. I say go for it, if you're interested in a nice-looking, light, warm winter jacket!

This was a gift for my girlfriend and she loves it! Lightweight but nice and warm. Just what she wanted.

Very happy with this jacket. The fit is great. I ordered a small and have room to wear a sweater underneath. The hood has been nice in the single digit weather, keeping my face warm.

I use a mobility device like a wheelchair or scooter, so need shorter jackets. This is the only petite of its kind I could find searching for a winter coat for Seattle. The fit is excellent, the sleeves aren't too short, and I like the style. It's not too puffy but warm enough for the 20s while sedentary. The adjustments for the hood are easy to manipulate and create a nice custom fit.

Absolutely love this coat. It is so lightweight it doesn't feel like you are wearing a coat at all. Warm and wonderful!

Very lightweight, yet warm. The sleeves are long enough (so many are not, for me). I love the colors inside and out, too. And most importantly, the zipper seems to work well.

Lightweight and warm. Like the zipper pockets inside and out. They are deep.

It's loved very much. Many compliments from many people on its appearance. AND ... It's toasty warm without being too bulky or too heavy. Highly recommended.

Bought for my daughter .. she loves it and wears it everyday.

Dont try to wash it yourself!! I followed LL beans directions for down and it still ruined by jacket so I had to get another (thankfully through warranty!). The color also gets darker in high friction areas (i.e armpits). Great jacket and warmth though and love it!

Fits well, very light weight. this is the 2nd one I've bot

So lightweight yet so warm! In Chicagoland, winters can truly test the merits of a coat. The 850 proved it's worth from day one. I bought it for my wife. She loves it so much, she's buying one for me! Could not have worked out better!!

I'm in love with this jacket. It's so lightweight it feels like you're not wearing anything but it's so warm that I've worn it in 30s degrees F. I bought the rosewood which is a beautiful rose-gold like color. I bought petite XS and I'm 5 ft 1, 110 pounds.

Love this jacket. Very warm and stylish it goes with everything.

Fits perfect. Keeps me warm but never over heated. Great quality as always.

I got this coat as a recommendation from a friend. It is great. Fits perfectly and warm enough to walk my dog in Wisconsin. Would definitely recommend it for others.

Lightweight, warm, fit and finish great! Well made.

The size fit is perfect. This jacket is exactly as described, and i would buy it again.

This coat is warm, comfortable and cute! I'm the mom of 2 nordic skiers, so I wanted something really warm. I love the hood too. The only downside is I wish the coat was a little longer. On the really cold days, I can feel some air get in between my jacket and snowpants. So I got a longer coat for those days.

Love this coat! Lightweight and so warm!! Fits great too!!
