Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Primaloft Packaway Jacket

The jacket looked good but it didn't seem warm enough for what I was looking for. I wanted it for my daily morning walks so I returned it

I like this jacket a lot for cooler fall days but I do wish that it was a little warmer. I guess based on the price I thought it would have a little more substance. It is nice looking though!

Bought this jacket for an upcoming trip and it was better than expected. Bought it large so I could use it to store all my stuff and not have to carry a purse and so went up 2 sizes so it wasn't obvious that I was carrying phone, wallet, sunglasses, passport, etc. going up 2 sizes also meant I could layer without making the jacket too tight, and I definitely had to layer as the jacket is not as warm as I thought it would be. The pocket for storing the jacket made a wonderful place to keep my credit cards and cash making it easily accessible but only to me. I loved the phone pocket on the outside, secure zipped pocket chest height making it hard for anyone to steal my phone. The 2 zipped pockets outside were convenient, wish the were lined with thin flannel which would have made them warmer. Blue color beautiful. Great for travel, just wish it was warmer.

The jacket fits perfect. My main reason for purchasing was all the zippered pockets. Very important for Europe travel. 4 stars only because I have not worn it in the cooler weather yet!

Nice quality perfect for the fall. Only wishing it had a hood.

Wonderful light weight jacket. Fits great and popping color.

This jacket is well made and very lightweight. I love the fit. The fabric moves well.

I bought this coat for an overseas trip. It packs well, the light blue color is very nice and lots of big pockets. The downside side is that this jacket is great when it's 50F, but not much under that. You will need a down vest or other warm layer under it. I am petite and I like the way it fits, even with multiple layers.

I wanted a lightweight jacket warm enough for a chilly spring day. I felt chilly in this even in the high 40s. Eventually I tried the Mountain Puffer jacket, which does the trick.

Nice lightweight jacket with great pockets. Wish there was a double zipper though, as it is awkward to sit down with the jacket zipped.

Pretty berry color, fits smaller than petite large packaway jacket, which I like better. Warm with layers.

I love the weight and cut of this jacket. It runs true to size and I wish it was available as a size larger or at least the arms were a bit roomier so I could wear a layer under it as I think is intended. Generally I like the jacket and will wear it in the spring and fall. A double zipper would be a good addition to this jacket.

I have tried these jackets in a few sizes and also the vest style. I am amazed at the warmth and wind resistance given they fold up into such small space. I am regrettably returning all of those I tried because none of them have reversible zippers! Seems a small detail, but with how much I move and bend, its critical for my comfort as well as keeping the fabric in good shape and not overstretching it. Hopefully in 2025??? :)

Coat is a tad long in the back, which is a bit surprising given it's petite sized. This coat does fit over a sweatshirt, and sleeves are a bit longer than I expected. It does have elastic in the cuffs so the extra length isn't a problem. Nice coat overall, I haven't packed it down yet, but I plan to use this coat for travel

Lightweight, pretty color, not quite as warm as I had anticipated. It did pack in very little space.

This is a great jacket, very stylish and warm. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 was the sizing issue. These seem to run on the smaller size so I had to send it back for one size up. Other than that great jacket and the next size up was a perfect fit.

Light weight but warm. Even with a frozen shoulder I can get it on and off easily. Attractive

Very pretty jacket, fits well. It is less warm that I expected, based on the description. However, I will keep it as I have a warmer coat.

Nice but over priced, not sure if I'm going to keep it. Light weight, not for extreme cold temperatures unless it is worn with other layers. I am normally a medium but the large felt better over a sweater and vest.

The color is nice but the jacket is little too thin and the collar is not very attractive.

3X, so light weight but oh so warm. Pockets in all the right places! A bit tight across the shoulders for me but it's my new "go to" jacket!

I've had this coat for 2 years and still love it. Pros: light weight, not bulky, multiple zipped pockets, hits at hip. I really like this jacket. Fits well enought to wear a hoodie under. It's not a winter coat but is warm enough and allows for layers under it. You don't feel like a marshmallow and you still have good movement in your arms. Wish it was slightly heavier but honestly it isn't a huge turnoff. I toss it around, hang it on the banister, and my dog lays on it. In 2 years, only slightly pulled one small thread so its durable. Would recommend

I really wanted a lighter weight jacket for travel, but this one looked boxy on, and was too long for my 5' frame, even in Petite sizing. I also wasn't a fan of the darker pink pocket area. Would rather the entire jacket were the same color.

I love the fit and the light weight of the jacket, but I'm not so sure about how warm it's going to keep me in the winter. They talk about NASA technology and show pictures of people doing outdooor activities in the snow, but I'm skeptical. I would probably have to add a tremendous amount of base layers to stay warm in those conditions. All in all, very pleased with the purchase.

Very comfortable, runs a bit small, not nearly as warm as I had hoped. Irritating cuffs
