Customer Reviews L.L.Bean East End Parka

I travel often for work and was looking for specific features in a fall/winter travel coat. This coat checks many of the boxes: It's not a puffer jacket (puffers are too staticky and loud for my taste when traveling for work). It's long enough to fully cover my behind to provide warmth. It's not dressy but it works for business casual (I remove the fur for work and add the fur when I want something more casual and fun). And the pockets are fantastic! I thought I wouldn't like the fact that the two front pockets and the inside security pocket aren't zippered (they are snaps), but I do! The front two pockets are large enough for me to stuff my hat and gloves into and the snaps are placed in a way that my belongings would not easily fall out. There are two zippered pockets for when you need to secure something carefully. Traveling with so many pockets has been very helpful! It's not overly bulky or heavy. Regarding warmth, I don't choose this jacket if I'm going to be outside for long periods of time in cold temperatures, but it's warm enough for going in and out of cars and airports and it can be layered.

It's so warm , perfect for the Midwest. It's comfortable & cute too! I can tell it will last me a while

Warm, comfortable, great purchase. Quality of the parka is excellent.

Love this jacket! Keeps me warm, even though not thick. Have gotten a lot of compliments on it, so very happy with my purchase!

Perfect in every way. Fit is great, weight is great, looks cute, zero complaints.

Nice coat, fits well, comfortable. I like the fabric. So far it's warm but we're not into deep winter here yet, so time will tell. More colors would be nice along with storm cuffs in the sleeves.

Soft material, very casual, lots of pockets, warm, I bought the butterscotch color, looks like a step up from a work color. Easy on & off. Fits nicely.

I almost didn't buy this coat because of some of the reviews. I am so glad that I made this purchase. I love the green color, the fabric and weight. I was quite warm on a snowy day, 28-30 degrees. My only complain is that the smaller pockets are snap and not zip to keep keys secure. Otherwise I imagine I will be wearing this coat all winter.

Warm, lightweight, and great fit for layering! My everyday-casual coat.

Great purchase on sale. Good color. Can't wait to wear.

True to size , exceptional quality, great overall!

Not too boxy or padded. I love the ability to cinch at the waist and it's not too padded or puffy but still warm.

Great coat. Perfect for New England fall weather. True to size.

Perfectly warm and light rain resistant. Haven't used it in a downpour yet but in a light consistent rain it holds up great. Not too thick, just right for a crisp Seattle fall day.

I bought two of these jackets and will buy more colors as they become available. The perfect weight and feel for cooler months, and the removeable fur lining on the hood is great for chillier weather. Flattering fit and very easy to zip up and down!

Feels like it will be warm enough. Very figure flattering. Fabric is a bit stiff

Pretty coat! I really like it! The color is vibrant and modern! Great design and style!

This is a great coat for fall in New England. I haven't had it long enough for really cold temps yet. I love the fit and how it has a split in the back. Size small fits great, 5'4" 138 lbs.

Great fit and quality. Very happy with my purchase

I just ordered this during an LL Bean sale a few days ago, and it showed up on my doorstep today! A+ for shipping. Then I tried it on and fell in love. It's perfect for the colder months in Maine, super "outdoor chic." There's nothing wrong with being fashionable in a snowstorm! Highly recommend the olive green color if you have green or hazel eyes. Also, this is not sponsored. I just really like this parka lol! Well-made, cute and functional. 10/10.

Love this jacket it doesn't feel bulky. It's warm but light at the same time.

This parka is so comfortable! It is true to size and the fake fur around the hood is super cute. I also loved the army green color. We haven't had cold weather just yet, but it seems very warm. Highly recommend.

Great coat, very warm. I look forward to wearing it this winter

Exactly what I was looking for! Pockets are lined and situated perfectly, even an inside pocket. I ordered a petite and the sleeve length comes to the middle of my hand. I ordered extra large to allow room for extra layers underneath.

No weight, just comfortable warmth even at its coldest in Maine.
