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

The thing I don't care much is having a logo, it's like advertising.

Love the jacket. Fits perfectly and color is beautiful. Zipper separates on occasion.

Great light weight down jacket. My only complaint is I wish it had a 2 way zipper. Jacket is long enough to cover my backside but when sitting the 2 way would be nice. An inside pocket would be helpful too.

I loved everything Except emblem on the front was stamped and not embroidered. I sent some email because I wanted them to re think the design. It looks tacky.

Very nice jacket, it just didn't fit me. My husband loves the men's version and wears it frequently. I wear a petite size and the Medium was too small across the chest and the large was way too roomy and too long. Wish it had fit.

Nice jacket , true to size. Fits well over layers of clothing. But not as warm is I thought it would be. Best if worn will the best under.

I bought the jacket to wear on a trip. It is lightweight and warm. Fits well over other clothing. If it had a double zipper I would have given it 5 stars. I need to unzip it to sit in the car.

I recently bought the blue, in M. Lovely color. Not as warm as my 8-yr old Bean ultralight down sweater that I wanted to replace, but roomy enough to wear a heavy sweater under it. The ultralight down sweater is much more money, and the current design does not have the outside chest pocket that I love in my old one. The PrimaLoft Packaway does have that outside pocket.

The coat is advertised as lightweight and warm. It is lightweight, however, it is not very warm. It would be warm in some areas, but not in Colorado weather. If LL Bean has a coat that is lightweight and warm, I would be interested in buying it.

Love the weight of this jacket and the brick red color. I like the longer sleeve but the body of the jacket is 1 - 2" snugger than my old jacket, though a large would be too big. The only other thing I prefer is to have some snap closures in addition to the zipper so it doesn't have to be zipped up to hold closed.

I ordered according to the size chart, (I'm 5'7", 220 and hour glassy), and it fits perfectly, looks great, packs down to nothing. Awesome design and useful pockets. But it's not a warm coat, despite the fancy NASA whatever. I tested it in 40-degree weather wearing a thermal top underneath and it was not warm enough. My LL Bean fleece bathrobe is warmer (though less packable). My $20 box store packable puffer is warmer (though less packable). I recommend this as a perfect light jacket for fall and spring, especially for travel, but you'd need hard core layers under it to make it winter-worthy.

Good mid weigh jacket I bought for winter bicycling. It seems pretty wind proof so far. I am wearing it with other layers. My only complaint is that the zipper is a little faulty. Seems to need some coaxing to zip.

I thought this was a very nice jacket & just the weight I wanted for a winter jacket down south. The blue color is lovely. Unfortunately I didn't keep it because although I ordered a petite size the sleeves were way too long!

This is a sharp looking jacket and I like the way it looks on me. It is a pretty color too. However, I think the cuff at the end of the sleeves is a little tight. I wish the cuff was knitted instead of tight fitting.

The fit is perfect. True to size. Comfortably warm. Only reason not 5 stars, snap button pockets. Zipper closure would have checked all boxes! Otherwise, its a nice quality coat.

Well made and very comfortable, except the next felt a little too stiff. Fit well. However, I returned and went with a different brand that I liked better.

Awesome jacket/coat. Very lightweight but very warm. I love the neck that you can full zip if needed. True to size. I sized up so I could layer more. One less star from me because the zipper is cheaply made.

Love the color of this jacket! I would've given this a 5 star rating but it seems to run slightly small across the chest.

The sizing is small but the style and jacket weight is great. The jacket is very warm.

Lightweight roomy jacket. Plenty of room in the shoulders for someone who needs the relaxed fit. Long enough for coverage in the back. The only issue I have with the jacket is that it does not have a double zipper. I would have given it a 5 star review if I could unzip the bottom when sitting instead of having to unzip the entire jacket. Provides warmth for cooler days but extra layering on cold days.

I got this for a hiking trip to Yellowstone Nat. Park. I wanted something lightweight that I could wear in chilly mornings but would pack easily into it's own pocket when the mid-day sun came out. This fits the bill. I initially ordered the medium (my usual LL Bean size) but it was too small in the shoulders and the arms were too short. I exchanged it for a Large which fit well in the shoulders and arms. However, it's a bit bulky in the midsection. I wish they had tall sizes. A medium tall size would have been perfect. The large will work though.

Jacket is lightweight and warm for cooler days. Runs generous. I am slim 5' 91/2" tall and a M is almost too long. I hate to complain because for many years LL Bean sizes ran short and small. So just consider whether to downsize when ordering. Generous size will allow sweater under for colder weather later.

This is a beautifully designed jacket, lightweight but warm. It fit well, but I returned it because of difficulty with the zipper. It wouldn't mesh. I was very disappointed. For what this jacket cost, I couldn't see keeping it and fighting with the zipper every time I wore it.

I love this jacket with one exception, the zipper is HORRIBLE. I did get in touch with Bean and they would have sent me a replacement except the zipper would be the same. I tried one on in the store and had an issue with the zipper, they did not have petite in store and I assumed the zipper issue was unique to that jacket, nope, when I received the petite from mail order, same zipper, same issues. I plan to have the zipper replaced at a tailor because I love everything else about the jacket. I wear it hiking, depending on the temperature, appropriate layers underneath. I drive, flew, hiked all over a foreign country, have had no tears, stains I couldn't get rid of or any other issues. the pockets are amazing, was able, while traveling, to carry passport, money, credit cards all in the inside pocket, phone in outside pocket. It is a marvelous jacket, except for that nasty zipper. There were times when I could not get it zipped and had to go out into the elements (time was limited) with it unzipped.

Wonderful coat and packs up very well. Cut small. Had to get 1-2 sizes above my size to fit comfortably. Otherwise, great product!
