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

This is probably my best fitting insulated hoody. I wear it a lot on my hiking adventures and just also purchased the purple color. It's very light weight but a great insulating piece for winter hiking. I love the mint color. I'm 5'3" and a size 6- I purchased the small regular.

Most comfortable, warm, attractive winter jacket I own. I'm petite (4"10, 100 lbs) but accidentally ordered the regular rather than a petite XXS. Was shocked that this turned out a perfect fit for me. So please that I've ordered two more in different colors. Though happy, I'm confused about the sizing here, since LL Bean's Petite XXS has been the right size for me in the past.

Ultralight and ultra nice. I have worn this quite a bit since the weather has dropped into the 30's at night and the 50's for daytime highs. It's so lightweight that l wondered if it would keep me warm enough. With a warm layer underneath it does the trick for this time of year. The fit is perfect and doesn't look boxy. I love the spacious zippered pockets. It's also nice to have a hoodie in case of rain. I would definitely recommend this jacket.

This light-weight, yet warm enough hooded down sweater is just right for transitioning temperatures in the Chicago area. It's a good fit for me. Super comfortable. Flattering style. Perfect color for me that is always in fashion. Gets lots of compliments!

Love the length and the side pockets are in a very flattering place. And.this shade of purple would look great on everyone!

This lightly warm jacket is perfect for spring, summer, fall. The hood fits snugly to block a cold wind and isn't too deep like so many, i.e. it doesn't hang forward over your face. Smooth lining means it is easy to get on and off and won't "grab" at your sweater.

Wonderful coat perfect for spring. Comfortable hood but wish it had drawstring to keep wind out.

Wanted a lightweight but warm, packable jacket and I splurged and bought this. It definitely fits the bill. Super lightweight but warm. Packs down to a small ball taking up little space in my luggage. Stylish enough for everyday use. I love this jacket!

Nice warm light weight jacket. It has a generous fit . I also have and 850 down jacket and was looking for something that was a little thinner.

I bought this several years ago while in Maine at the flagship store. The teal was on sale. I wear it all the time to walk dogs. I went to get another earlier in the season and I swear there was purple. When I went back to order it was gone and no trace of purple anywhere. Am I imagining this? I want to replace my teal one with the imagined purple. Please make it a reality! Ty Elle.

I just bought this jacket to go to Tahoe for a week ad it was perfect for the entire day at the base of the mountain. Not as a ski jacket but, as a light and cozy layer over a sweater and a long sleeve tee. It was also great for travel in the airplane and it packed well into a small ball inside the hood. Great comfort, beautiful color and functionality.

Keeps me warm, super lite weight would recommend to petite 4 "11 women's

It seams quite warm & relaxes the bulkey older style jackets I have.

What a nice jacket! So warm and light. Perfect for the weather here. Love my jacket!

Bought this jacket for my daughter she really likes how comfortable and lightweight it is

Please bring back the teal color (ocean teal?) .....

Purchased as a layering tool for english riding in winter. I'm an english rider living in four seasons. It's essential to layer when riding to avoid being too hot or cold. Must haves include zip down, warmth rating and less bulk. This checks all the boxes. Recommend.

This is a great jacket. It's the perfect weight for getting into winter. It looks good with the pattern of the baffles and it fits well and is a good length. It's not too bulky but has warmth and I layer it if I want a little more warmth. It doesn't replace my winter coat but I wanted it for the early winter days.

Very light weight and packable but super warm! Great fit and love having the hoodie for windy days.

Love the coat. The hood is perfect when windy. Wish the logo was near pocket instead on breast.

This is my new favorite jacket. It's perfect for the transition to winter and now I'm still using it in colder weather with layers. I love the color (light purple), the fit, the pattern of the down baffles, the light weight of the jacket and the hood. It's an attractive down jacket and has style. And I'll be happy to have it when winter transitions to spring. This jacket is just right!

light but very warm. I highly recommend, Fits true to size

Great jacket! Lightweight, warm, and stylish all in one.

This jacket is very light and comfortable. Love the light mossy color and orange accents. I live in the south and do not need heavy layers underneath. I tried a S but exchanged for an XS. The body was too loose on the S without a heavy sweater underneath. I am happy with the fit and look. Perfect for an active chilly day.

I have had this coat for a few weeks now, and while I haven't gone through the winter yet, I do believe it will be fine. When I first took it out of the pkg, I thought there was no way it could keep me warm--it feels like air! But it's been very good at blocking the wind, plus it's roomy enough that on really cold days, I can layer another base layer jacket underneath. I did not size up; I recently lost weight and the last thing I wanted to do was buy a bigger size! For reference, I'm 5'5", 150 lbs and the Medium fits perfectly with room for extra layers. I LOVE the inside zippered chest pocket that so many women's coats lack--my iPhone 14 fits securely. The side pockets are quite roomy as well. The only feature it lacks is waterproofness...it's water resistant, but I think during a good snowstorm, it will probably soak through. I haven't tested it yet, so maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. But all in all, a very warm, flattering coat.
