Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Ultralight 850 Down Hooded Jacket

So warm, lightweight and comfortable. And not the least bit bulky. The wide range of color choices is an added plus.

My husband and I both purchased these jackets last year for a trip to Antarctica. We wore them everyday with light layers. Kept us warm for our excursions on land and in zodiacs zipping around from iceberg to iceberg. The attached picture demonstrates how the jacket might be used to comfort an injured barred owl found at a wildlife refuge. While waiting for the ranger, the owl began to shiver, so the ultralight jacket was used as a blanket. The owl stopped shivering within a few minutes. The owl was checked by a biologist and sent to recover at an owl rehab center.

Awesome lightweight yet very warm ! Purchased as a gift for mother in law and she really likes it!

Lightweight , warm , comfortable , well fitted hood to keep my hair dry, Excellant

This has been a good jacket for my daughter. Very warm and stylish.

I gave this jacket to my granddaughter and she absolutely loves it! I am very happy.

Extremely warm and very comfortable. The hood is a must-have!

I am a skiing gear snob. I usually wear arteryx and stio. I skied in this jacket yesterday and it was fantastic. More warmth than anticipated.

I bought this for a work trip and didnt want to bring a big bulky coat but wanted to stay warm. This was the perfect choice. It rolled up nicely in my suitcase and kept me very warm. This is my new must have for travel.

This jacket is so warm. I absolutely love it. I have never had a jacket that kept me so comfortable. It even held up in the blizzard today! From now on I will only wear winter coats from LL Bean!!!

I bought this coat to replace my ski coat and I am happy I did.

Given as a birthday gift. The quality, fit, comfort, warmth, color and style are excellent!

Comfortable and warm without all the bulk. LLBean coats are simply the best.

I now have 2 of these jackets and I know they are pricey but I absolutely love them. They are my go to everyday jacket during cold weather. They are warm and lightweight which make them very easy to drive in and perform outside activities throughout my day. I am 5'5", 170lbs and I have a large for everyday wear that is great over a long sleeve T-shirt or sweater. I also have an XL that I wear when I'm going to be outside for an extended period of time, which adds a little more room for wearing over a hoodie when I'm layering.

The Ultralight 850 is a really great jacket - kept me warm in 20 degree cold - feels very lightweight - the hood is warming & doesn't fall down over my face!! I love it!!!

I really love my new jacket. The fit is perfect! I like the fact that LLBean mediums are size 10-12 it means i can wear a sweater or mid-layer under it comfortably. I got the green color and it is beautiful!! The quality is excellent, made so well and love the rip stop nylon material and lots of pockets inside and out!!

This is my second purchase of this type coat. It is so light weight and easily fits in my suitcase for a just in case. I love the zippered pockets which easily hold my large size iPhone. Even in freezing temps, it keeps the cold at bay. I love it!

I had ordered two different jackets from another company didn't like them. Tried a newer style from LL bean it was very true to size and I didn't feel comfortable with it and a sweatshirt. Turned to this jacket and this was the golden jacket.

This jacket is very soft and comfortable. I love the fabric. I like the soft brim around the hood which stays around your face without collapsing over your eyes like elastic brims. Nice quality zippers. I use the pocket zippers to help me keep from losing my gloves. I like the color. I was looking for a green jacket.

This is my second Ultralight 850 jacket, My other one doesnt have a hood. Love both of them, so light but so warm!

The jacket is lightweight, warm and fits well. Since I wear a fleece or a sweater under jacket, I went up a size for a roomier fit. The thyme color is really nice!

Very warm yet lightweight, comfortable and I love the color.

Outstanding jacket! Very warm and comfortable, plus very lightweight. Janet loves her's!

Best ultralight hoodie this year. I compared ultralight hoodies between 4 other great outdoor brands to this. Great: waist and hood drawstring, quietness of the pertex, and lightest weight, the fact that it has enough room under the armpit so that one is not perspiring directly on it. It could be a tad more but none of the hoodies had roomy shoulder room anymore Plus it's not too fitted so people with slightly or 2 more inches in their waists than the sizing chart would be comfortable in the size. So if you are a 5'5 tall size 6-8, you can be happy in a size small and your sleeves won't drag get soiled if you're hands - on dirt.

I love this jacket and the color! Lightweight and really warm! Great quality that LLBean always delivers!
