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

This is a weird one. I love this jacket. I live in this jacket. It's comfortable. I got a regular xsmall..it's toasty without the bulk. The thing is, I've gotten a couple of them at this point. I'm not the most gentle on my clothes. I have a dog and we are outside everyday roughing around. This isn't the most rugged jacket. It tears easily and I've even once burned a very small but annoyingly feather-leaking hole into it. I love their return policy, it works well for things like this but I'm 20 minutes away from the store.

Fits well with room for heavy sweater without looking bulky. I love the longer backside because it covers while bending and adds a simple curve. But why wasn't a double end zipper put in the jacket ???? Please bring them back.

I have had previous versions and loved them and this is no different! It is warm, lightweight and comfortable! I have plenty of room without looking like a blimp. It is well made and I love the new features. Well worth the price!

Seventeen degrees this a.m. where I live. I wore this jacket for the first time, and it is great! Warmth without weight, nicely fitted, and room for a layer underneath.

True to size. I love the color. This jacket is very warm with a nice, tight-fitting hood.

This ultralight jacket is simply great. I love that it is made for +25 to-25 degrees. How much more perfect can it get? The fit is fabulous! Thank u for it! The carbon blue color is gorgeous!

So lightweight ! So warm. Hood is good. Juniper is a great color. I have room for a sweater under it without having it snug.Sleeve length is good.Interior chest pocket is perfect phone size.

This is the coziest jacket. Can't wait for it to be cold enough to wear. LOVE the bluegreen color too; so pretty.

I very much like this coat. It's comfortable and I purposefully purchased a larger size so I can wear thick sweaters underneath of it. My only disappointment is that it already has a pinprick hole in the sleeve and some of the stuffing wants to come out of the coat.

The jacket is fine, but I didn't care for the color.

Great jacket but the zipper is difficult to manage.

I bought this @1 year ago in a burnt orange color and love it. Only issue is that one of the zippers on a pocket is broken which is disappointing. Otherwise, wonderfully warm, light, colorful and great for everything from dog walking to light winter hiking.

Warm, comfortable, lightweight, and nice color jacket but I notice that several feathers came out. not just few, pretty many feathers.

It is a great jacket! It is very warm, and I love the color. I was glad to wait until the price came down though!

I have owned (and still wear all of them) 5 other LL Bean ultralight 850 down jackets of 3 varieties (hooded, without hood, "Big Baffle", etc.) and use them for everyday activities around town in CA winter seasons. They are all warm enough in the temperature range from low 40's to low 60's and fit me well - very comfortable and without restricting movements. They are well made and all zippers work smoothly. Occasional minor down leakage was to be expected. I recently bought my 6th one in "Mineral Red", and noticed right away that the down fill wasn't as substaintial as the other ones I bought before and, when I tried it on when the temperature in our backyard was ~53 degree. It didn't keep me as warm as the other ones I have. I don't know what changed, but it's not a change I'd welcome. It still fits me and remained comfortable, but I decided to return it and try other brand for a change.

I really like this coat!! It's warm and lightweight!! However, I haven't figured out how to pack it into the pocket! It should come with instructions!!

I bought the same jacket without the hood about 5 years ago. That one is still going strong, but I need the hood. This version has a considerably thinner outer fabric than the one I bought 5 years back. Also the hood does not have an adjustment in the back - adjustments only beside the face. For the price, I expected better quality fabric and better adjustment on hood. Outside of that, it is warm and lightweight.

Love this jacket, its both warm and light, I would've given 5 stars except I'm starting to see bits of the stuffing on the jacket, I don't see an opening so I'm assuming it seeps through the fabric, not sure if this is normal, just hope the jacket lasts a long time.

super light wt and super comfortable! Love this jacket

Great, light, comfortable, warm, rain resistant hooded jacket. Wish it had a couple more pockets and the reflector label on the back like the children's jackets have. Fit is just right!

Almost perfect jacket great sizing, arms are a bit long which I always love, especially with multiple layers. Folds down easily and is very warm. My only gripe is zipper feels a bit cheap compared to the rest of the jacket. The length is longer than waist and a double zipper would make this jacket perfect in my opinion.

I would have rated it 5 stars if it came in prettier colors, like a nice bright pink, raspberry, bright blue, or teal. This years colors are terrible. Also, I would like better if the length was longer by about an inch.

This jacket is perfect for 30-40 degrees. It's light weight, but still keeps you warm. I love the color and the fit. I would recommend this jacket. I am 5'6" - 135 lbs. and got a small size

I really loved the warmth and lightweight of this beautiful jacket and I'm so disappointed that it did not fit my body comfortably. I'm 5'6'', 135lbs and I have longer arms. I found this jacket to be too tight in the front of the armholes whenever I reached out forward. I tried a small and a medium, but just not for me. Otherwise, I loved everything else about it.

I normally wear a medium shirt and am 5'2" but this jacket fits me long and large. Even with a fuzzy pullover (from LLB) I would try for a petite small next.
