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

Love this jacket! So warm and light. My only disappointment with it is that there is not a two way zipper on it.

Very comfy, not bulky at all. Packs easily. I haven't worn it in temps under 30 degrees yet.

Very light and warm! I was looking for a lightweight jacket to wear for when I walk my dog now that it's getting cold. I wasn't ready for my bigger parka. This one is perfect!

I purchased a pink one of these without a hood several years ago. I have loved it, but it was starting to look a little worn. I was so glad when these came back this year. I purchased the purple with the hood this time. They are as light as a feather, yet surprisingly warm. I like the jacket with the hood a little better than the other one because the collar on the other one is too high on my neck when the jacket is zipped.

I positively love this jacket. I have it in a color block version. It has been my favorite jacket ever. Warm, light, hooded, zip pockets, easy to wear. I appreciate the long sleeves and easily tuck my hands up in them when too busy to wear gloves. The trim on the bottom of the sleeves is showing some wear. My jacket got two cuts on the front from moving glass, so sad! I sewed them, but wish I could buy a new color block version. Please L.L. Bean, bring back color block.

Excellent so far! It hasn't gotten super cold yet here in Vermont, so I can't attest to how well it performs in the COLD, but as someone who gets cold easily, I'm very comfortable walking around in the chilly 30-40*F mornings. The fit is slightly boxy, but plenty of room in the shoulders! I previously had a M in some other similar down coat and I ran into should space issues with just a sweatshirt. Not a problem with this jacket! I can easily layer a fluffy sweatshirt underneath and still comfortably move my arms with minimal ride up. Finally glad to have a cut and comfy midweight winter coat that I can layer under my skin jacket

In this puffy after reading reviews I sized down to an XS and it fits perfectly. I am 5'5" and 124 lbs. I'm in love with this super light jacketit's warm and very stylish especially for LLBEAN LoL

I love my down sweater hooded jacket! It is so versatile and it is light, but really warm! The fit is for an average sized woman, and I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase! I already had the down sweater coat, and wanted a shorter version. Both of them are perfect for me!

It's super light but will keep you warm! Love the hood for unexpected clement weather! Very flattering fit! Like all LLBean products, it is made very well!

I am headed on a river cruise to visit the European Christmas markets and I need something light enough to wear inside shops and buildings, warm enough to withstand the cold of December and something that I could either fly with or wouldn't take up a lot of space in my carry on. This fits the bill. My husband has had the same jacket (for men) for a couple of years and loves it. It is a classic style, keeps its shape, washes well and is warm and light. It's perfect to pair with a light sweater and the hood is perfect to block the chill on windy or wet days. I have the black and my husband has the blue- both look great!

I've always loved LL Bean products. You can beat the quality or price! This jacket exceeded my expectations! I bought this last year for a backpacking trip in late winter/early spring when the TN weather is psycho and it was perfect...we had rain wind, cool and cold weather. I've worn it in the winter when it dips into the mid 20s and windy. I felt zero wind and I was toasty warm. Wore it in windy Ireland and am taking it to Banff this fall! I love how they pack super small. I can take both of mine on trips for photo variety! Use wool drier balls when drying to keep the down evenly spread. LL Bean runs a bit large on me so I ordered an XS and it was perfect!

I wore this jacket every day in Paris in April. I love the way the zipper snugs the collar up to the chin, love the inner pocket. Perfect fit.

I'm 5'2" and the petite hit my waist at exactly the right spot. I generally think of myself as a medium but the medium was too small. The small petite was perfect. The hood is barely noticeable from the front - it does not detract from the look of the collar. It's incredibly comfortable - virtually weightless.

This is my second Ultralight Sweater Hooded Jacket. I love the Quarry Gray color. The fit is perfect, and it keeps me at a comfortable temperature no matter how cold or hot it is outside.

I have the sweater jacket minus the hood and felt I needed one that would offer more warmth when needed. It is lightweight without the extra bulk to keep warm. I love the ability to cinch the bottom to keep me even warmer and not allow drafts. I would have liked the hood to have had the cinch, too. I purchased a medium to allow for a fleece jacket to wear underneath and layer. Black is a basic color in my wardrobe, so it suits me fine. Have worn it on a very windy and chilly day in Boston and it was just the right thing!

This is a fantastic jacket! It is really warm and super light.

It was just what I wanted. It may be Ultra Light, but it is ultra warm :)

It took me two tries to find this awesome winter jacket. Im so glad I was patient and and didnt give up on this fab find.

Size med is perfect for a 135 pound lady with something heavy underneath.

This jacket is light weight & functional in cold weather. The fit is perfect.

This is my second down sweater and I love it!! The hood is a must and this color is amazing! Love the light-weight feel of this jacket yet it is very warm. I'd buy another!

Perfect fit and lovely color. Just what I needed for a bit warmer temps. Can be layered or not.

Great little coat for my daily coastal walks on the southern Oregon coast. Keeps the wind and rain at bay. Fits perfectly.

All I need for 95% of my winter days in Maine! It's plenty warm and I have space to layer underneath if I need to, but more often I find myself unzipping to cool off. If a Petite had been available at the time of purchase I would have gotten one as the sleeves are a wee bit long - but with the cool stitching and styling, no one can tell. I wore this up Thorndike Trail to the top of Ragged Mountain the other day and it was misty/foggy/rainy - I stayed dry. Once I got home, the jacket dried quickly.

I was looking for outerwear that was really light and thin, but warm. This jacket is perfect! Love the fit, super light, toasty, looks great, and I can shove it in my bag if the temperature rises.
