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

Great coat, great price, thank you for creating a quality piece of fine clothing.

I wanted a jacket for an upcoming trip that will involve a lot of walking and some hiking in cold, but not freezing temperatures. This jacket should be perfect for that because when moving around, the jacket helps retain body heat. I have my doubts that it would be warm enough standing around in temps under 40 degrees, but the jacket is so light that layering is easy for those situations. As mentioned, it does run a bit large. The muted purple is much darker than pictured, but its also unique. The zippers are actually navy, which gives an idea of how much darker the purple is.

beautiful color, light as a feather, packable,, great fit

My wife absolutely loves this jacket!! Light and very warm.

Love the muted purple, love the weight, love the fit.

Have a few of these in different lengths and love them. This time I purchased a light green and LOVE it. I wanted one with the hood but all sold out so took one without. Happy with it!

Love the coat, light, comfortable and pretty color.

Love this lightweight toasty warm beautiful light limey green ultralight jacket!

This jacket is light and warm. Like that it has a little style to it and is not boxy. It is true to size and made well.

Love the subtle pearlescence of the fabric, it looks classier than the photo. The color is so flattering. The fit and performance are perfect. I don't know why its quite so pricey, but I am very much in love despite the high price tag.

I love the deep pockets and it is warm BUT why is the zipper pull on the opposite side? Did I get a jacket for a left-handed person?

Comfortable, roomy and lightweight. I had to size down to a small. I love the Moss Olive color.

I love the color and the fit was perfect. It is great to stuff into a suitcase just in case the weather turns balmy.

I can't tell you how many "down" coats I've purchases in my life to get through all the various winter weather conditions I encounter. Started in Michigan where I needed very warm down outerwear to now living in Albuquerque where I need "warmth" but not the kind of warmth that my heavier down coats provided. I also like to throw a raincoat and a down coat (or vest) into my suitcase when I travel. The idea of a "down sweater" appealed to me for just this reason. I'm 5'7" and weigh 155 pounds. I initially bought the LARGE but it was too big so I exchanged it for the MEDIUM. One of the features that I appreciate is that the sleeves are amply long. This "sweater" is very well-made and there is a welcome brightness to the color of navy so it's not drab at all -- nor is it to bright. Just enough of a difference between its color and the sual navy blue. I'm really loving it!

This jacket is simply wonderful. It fits well and is exactly the right fill. It packs into itself. The color is wonderful. It is just perfect.

This is my favorite winter jacket and my 2nd purchase in this style. Just the right weight for everyday wear in Wisconsin.

I love this coat. It keeps you warm and it's not bulky.

I love this little jacket. It is my second one. It is great for mostly Fall or early Spring wear, and packs perfectly for trips! I have stuffed mine into my tote or carry on when flying from the cold to warm climates. While it is rated as 850 down, it, for me is not warm enough for winter, unless there is a heavy weather under it.. I also like the fit of this jacket. It is slightly fitted so it doesn't flare out or just hang straight with a lot of airspace at the bottom ( it is also adjustable if you like it tighter). I think it is flattering . As I mentioned, this is my second jacket. I still have my other one, but I somehow damaged it and although I was able to buy a cute patch, it is still losing a little down in that area. My point is only that the shell is thin ( as it should be for this style jacket), but it can be damaged. I would definitely recommend this jacket. I am 5'5, 143 lbs and bought a medium.

Great fit and lightweight enough to wear under a shell jacket. Love the color, too!

We went to Maine to visit in mid-May and I was not very well prepared for the cold. We went to the store in Freeport ("The Mother Ship") where I found this jacket. I have had it for a week and it has performed perfectly even in a light mist. It fits very well, packs wonderfully and I love the color (Muted Purple). The salesperson didn't know about the stowaway pocket but I was delighted when I found it! I purchased a Petite Large. I definitely recommend this product.

I love this down sweater. I have it in 2 colors. The down stays in place better than any down jacket I've had, due to the unique stitching. Please make this in larger sizes!

This jacket is light and warm at the same time. Sporty and easy to move in, it also has great features like the pockets and zipper. I purchased the light green and have been pleased with it every time I put it on. My husband was also complimentary on it.

This jacket is just as described, lightweight but warm.

I love my new jacket, it's so very light and super comfortable!

I am so happy with this jacket! Very comfortable, warm, lightweight and stylish. I did have to size down to a small as the medium size was too big in the shoulders and arm length even with layers under. Only thing I miss is a bigger pocket on the inside. There is a zip pocket inside upper right, however, I do like an inside pocket lower. Not a big deal though as the two outside pockets zip close and are a good size.
