Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Bean's Down Hooded Jacket

Love this jacket. Wish it had a 2-way zipper so it would not bunch up when driving.

This is cut very close so there's no room for a layer underneath, which would have been nice. Zipper pockets on the inside of the jacket would have been very nice. The deep green color is beautiful. When it's zipped all the way up, the neck covers the chin and mouth which is nice. Thank you.

I had to buy a warm jacket with a hood and zippers for a relative in memory care. The jacket had to be a style she always loved - the thinner puffer style; have zippered pockets that will withstand her pulling them up and down constantly (due to her illness); have a roomy hood easy for her to put up and take down; and most importantly, have a lining that wasn't a thick fleece due to sensory issues. We tried more than a few jackets. THIS one ticked off all the boxes. The lining reminds me of a flannel level thickness and it's nice and soft and warm. The zippers? Never become caught and she can even use the main zipper easily with her elderly fingers. The hood is perfect. If you're looking for a tight hood, then this won't work for you, but the hood stayed up on a windy day and kept her ears toasty. And of course, it looks great. It's a 5 star jacket for most but us older folk like a longer jacket. If this model was 6 inches longer, it would be amazing.

Size is smaller than what I usually wear. Did not close totally in front.

It's a lovely coat and color is gorgeous. To me it is a tiny smidgen snug but pretty sure I would swim in a large so will keep the medium. Just be aware it runs a tad small.

Good color (green), nice quality, a little bulky feeling.

I am really happy with this jacket, especially the sleeves that cover my wrists and hood that covers my head but still lets me see where I am going. I love that it is lightweight, too.

The quality is decent and seems warm enough, although the pricing is a little steep, I would still recommend .

This jacket is warm and light weight. It is more fitted than other jackets which required getting a a size larger than I ordinarily wear.

This is a warm cozy jacket ...I love the hood... BUT I can't believe there is NO INSIDE POCKET! That is unacceptable in this day and age when we need to stash cards or money on the fly somewhere safe before we get home!

Love the color & the fit is fine, which I was skeptical after reading reviews on tight arms, but it's fine for me. My only disappointment is that the inside sleeve material does bunch out when you put your hands thru the cuffs & I have to "tuck it back in", which I've never experienced with a jacket before. Other than that, I love it. Lightweight & warm.

Lining moves in the arms when putting on. Warm and comfortable!

It's always been hard to find a petite jacket that looks and feels good, until now. The color looks better in person. I would have given five starts if it was just a little bit more loose, I like to layer. Other wise, love it!

Nice semi-fitted down jacket. Well-functioning hood that stays on. Zippers work smoothly. Fabric has been sewn away from the zippers to keep from getting caught. I really wish there was one more pocket- a chest pocket either on the outside or internally to keep phone and/or keys. All in all a nice jacket that isn't too bulky.

Nice and warm. Would like to have inside pockets though.

I mostly like this jacket, but had a sizing problem. I thought a petite large would work fine but the arms were too tight. I returned the jacket and ordered a regular large. This fits better but there is still some snugness in the sleeves. This causes the lining to pop through at the cuffs when I put it on. No big deal - I just stuff it back in, but I never had this problem with Bean jackets before.

I was very excited to receive this coat, and am sad to have to return it. Color and style are great. All too often Plus size fashions come in just 1 option: black and tent shaped. I loved that this came in both solids and colorblock options. The chest, arms, and shoulders fit GREAT! The sleeve length was good. I'm very short (4'11"), so often sleeves are way too long, but these sleeves were just a *little* long on me, and the elastic at the cuffs kept the edges up at my wrists, so it wasn't a problem. The problem for me was the fit at the hem. I could zip the coat up if I held it up around my waist, then closed it, and tugged it down into place on my hips. It fit, but it *just* fit. If I were to lean over, or reach for something off a shelf, it would pull up and stay up, so I'd be constantly pulling it back down. Just a little more ease at the hem, and this would have been great. I considered sizing up, but if I did, I know the shoulders and chest would have been way too big. For reference I'm 4'11", 230, 48 bust, 45 waist, 56 hips.

Only one disappointment: sleeves are not quilted-very thin

Awesome and warm. However the lining from the sleeves slides out when putting it on if you have a sweater underneath.

I like the fit and warmth of this coat, and the attached hood. I agree with others, though, that the lining fabric grabs your clothes and makes it hard to slide the sleeves on. if not for that, I would have given this coat a 5 star rating.

It's very warm, stylish and fits great. It's a bit hard to get on bc of fabric lining.

Great all around, warm and a good fit. Appreciate the hood

It doesn't feel as warm as the description suggests.

The dark marine blue is a beautiful color and this jacket was just what I was looking for in quality and the design features at the right price. I wouldn't have minded if ever a few feathers occasionally shed as it is down-filled as some have mentioned. However, what's unfortunate is it ran a little small on me and I wouldn't be able to layer under it. It's a cute jacket though and now the Petite XL in this color is sold out. I'll probably try the reg.XL because I like this jacket but I will have to roll up the sleeves. It appears that all jackets and tops that are a relaxed fit I can pretty much wear Large but if they are fitted or slightly fitted it looks like I'm not able to.

Runs large. Ordered a medium which usually fits and was swimming in it. It's pretty thick and puffy which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. I was looking for something smaller and thinner so I'm returning this. If they had smalls available I would have tried that.
