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

Great coat, but the first day wearing it, I spilled salad dressing on it and ruined it. Dressing wouldn't wash out, and it can't be dry cleaned. Oops!

Jacket is light and easy to wear. It is very thin and just for warmer weather or for higher intensity activity. I wear it often for Cross County skiing as an outer layer in 20F with base layer which wicks moisture away.

Light and comfortable, but needs zipper that opens at bottom also.

I love the jacket, but wanted a hood. When I bought the hooded one, the zipper came up too high and irritated my neck. Would like zipper not to look unfinished when I turn the collar down.

Great fit. Med petite on a 5'3 125lb body. Cool blue color. Very light- weight and packable. Somewhat concerned about the one-way zipper that has already separated once.

I wish it was a little warmer. It will be great in early spring and late fall. But a nice light weight jacket - well made

I purchased this jacket in Silver Blue last year and love that it matches the lining in my new Silver Moon Ultralight Down Coat. My personal comfort range for this jacket is 40-60 degrees when worn with a cotton turtleneck. Sleeve length is perfect, all pockets are well placed, and all zippers function well. Mostly, I wear this jacket as an extra layer under a raincoat or overcoat.

Very nice quality jacket. Runs a little large, but that makes it perfect to layer over fleece tops. I don't find the jacket very warm but its great as an outer layer over fleece in colder weather or over a tee-shirt in milder weaterh.

Surprisingly thin and warm if it's not windy out. I question the ratings for temperatures though. Very good on calm weather days in upper 30's and above. Otherwise you will need to layer a coat or vest over this jacket.

Purchased this for my daughter. She loves it. Warm and light weight. Nice color. True to size. She is 5'6. Wears medium

Disappointed in the sleeve cuff. Designed cheaply.

I found that I definitely need a fleece layer in addition to a shirt under this jacket in order to stay warm. Even then I don't think it would be warm enough in really cold weather, below 20 degrees or so. But the fit is great and I love the color (vintage lavender) so I will keep it. Having said all that, I'll add that I really wish that LLBean would offer more products made in the USA.

I bought this jacket for a February trip to Israel. l liked the fact that it was not bulky or heavy and could be easily folded up into its own pocket and didn't take up much space in my luggage. Its been a year now and I still choose this jacket on most days. It also washes up nicely. I will not hesitate to buy another one when this one wears out. The only reason I gave this 4 stars was because the zipper cannot be opened at the bottom making it somewhat uncomfortable when sitting.

Although I love the coat for warmth and style, the trim at cuff began pilling almost right away. Makes the coat look shabby. Not what I expect from LLB coats.

A little light in the fill, but a solid layering piece for my daughter as it gets colder out. She wears it to school under her oversized sweatshirts.

Good size zipper you can operate with mittens on! No more frozen fingers

Just not sure yet, maybe after I wear it a few timesso light almost flimsyseems warm enough

If you are looking for warmth, this is not the jacket. But if you just want a light weight windbreaker jacket to block the wind this works .

I should have sized up to add more layering (I wasn't expecting CO to be 32 degrees at the end of October) so if I wasn't active the chill was coming in.

I like the jacket. The fit is great. I just wish it was a little warmer. It is good for a fall coat, but definitely NOT a winter coat!

I've been looking for a thin Primaloft jacket to layer under my shell for skiing and other cold weather outdoor adventures. I'm glad I got a chance to try this on in person in Freeport before purchasing online. I'm usually a small, but this ran long and very loose around the trunk. The XS fit just as I hoped it would. I can see why others might feel differently, but I was looking for a slim fit jacket to layer UNDER an outer jacket (rather than wear layers under this as the primary jacket).

The jacket in the petite size - arm length goid overall length good it is a little too big around the body. Not sure if a medium would fit and be a little snug.

I didn't think to search for a jacket that unzips from the bottom for ease in the car. Please add this feature Thank you

This jacket is warm and light. Easy to throw on for quick errands or layer under something heavy when the temp is below zero. My problem is the ugly asymmetrical zipper and the logo! I don't want to wear anyone's logo on my chest unless I'm getting paid for it!

Jacket was comfortable but definitely not warm. I put it on for a short walk and returned after a half mile because the wind blew right thru the jacket. It was only 40 degrees. Maybe a heavy shirt underneath would help. Sending back.
