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

This jacket is so pretty and weighs almost nothing. It arrived yesterday. This morning I put it on over a heavy sweater and went out to sweep an inch of snow away from my garage doors. I froze! I was so disappointed but I think it will be good above 20 degrees. I will keep it...but just wanted you to know what to expect.

Super light and comfy. Very warm. Great arm length - sleeves tend to run short on me. I deducted a star because I've started noticing loose threads along the zipper and hem.

My Wife loves the coat, it was a Christmas present this year. Unfortunately we found an approximate 1" slice/cut inside the hood though. Packaging had no slices or cuts in it. I think she's going to try and fix it herself.

Great for outdoor activity in temperatures between 30 and 49 degrees with a couple of layers underneath. Love how light weight it is and love how much freedom of movement you have when wearing it. I wish the insulation behind the zipper was better. Improving that would make it much warmer and I would then give it 5 stars.

I love the coat. The hood doesn't sit right and it feels like it is attacking me when I'm driving. The coat is warm, lightweight and washable. I haven't tried washing it yet, but I'm excited I can.

The feathers do come out. It is warm. Mid December NYC warm. Wear a sweater under. Hopefully it's NYC mid February blizzard warm lol. Petite xl 1X

Sits at hips which is great. A little boxy through the torso.

Love the look and the comfort, but not as warm as I would like.

I have a question. I bought this jacket for winter. The pictures shows that it is puffy. When I received it, it was flat and VERY light. I think it is more for spring or fall. Not winter. Ok, will this jacket puff out as the cold hits it or what? I love the looks of this jacket but need something warm in the winter.

The jacket is great. My complaint refers to the comments about the packable ability . There is no way that this jacket can fit easily into the pocket. It would help if the video included directions on how to fold the jacket into the pocket.. Might be better to include a separate pouch , even if it cost a couple of dollars more, as an option.

I love this jacket. It is lightweight and incredibly warm. The ONLY drawback is that the cuffs are a little large so I have to tuck my gloves in.

I thought from the description that I had bought a solid winter hooded jacket. Sizing up was a good thing because I certainly need layers under it to keep me warm below 10 degree above zero. I could feel the cold right through the sleeves (maybe it's not really windproof?). Other than that, I really like the comfort, the hood and the features of the jacket. It's a keeper even though I must layer when the weather is cold.

The jacket is light surprisingly warm. Only improvement would be if it had a two way sipper so it could be more comfortable when sitting.

Beautiful jacket, it runs a little bit large...exchanging it for a xsmall size.

I love this jacket. It fits well, and is extremely warm. Best with a midweight layer for fit, but works well for warmth even with thinner long sleeve shirt underneath. It is great with the hood too. Not sure if this is supposed to happen but after a couple washes, down started coming out of the hood on my jacket through the seams. Now I have feathers after every wash stuck on other clothes and floating around the house. Expected better quality for this price point, but still like the jacket.

Well made and great protection from cold. Only suggestion is that you need an outside breast pocket for phone, or an inside breast pocket that fits a modern smart phone. Overall the jacket runs slightly small.

I loved this jacket - simple, lightweight, hood is a plus. I typically wear a 20W, am Pear shape and ordered the 2x. It fit great everywhere but was a bit snug around my hips. I was able to zip it but would not have been able to wear a sweater underneath. I returned for a 3x.

It's a gorgeous coat and very comfortable and I will keep it but if you live in really cold climates this is not the coat for you. It will work for me OK with a layer underneath until bitter cold hits and I do have other coats for below zero. So gorgeous coat but not as stuffed with down as it appears in photo.

Nice jacket but not as nice as the one from two years ago! This one is to bulky!

The sleeves are a bit too long. We haven't had a very cold winter so I can't really judge how it is in true winter weather. I love the color and love having a hood without fake fur!! I would probably rate it 4.5 because of the sleeves

Very comfortable. Warm. Lightweight. Waterproof. However for this price: Only one inside pocket. Would be nice to have another with zipper. Jacket zipper is not 2 way. No inner sleeve wind protectors.

The color is fabulous the weight light the only thing is the hood does not tuck away or come off.

Very comfortable and fits great. I have the green colored coat. I would have given it 5 stars but I've found that it staines easily.

This is the 2nd time I am posting this review because it's been a month and my review is yet to be published. The "Dark Red" color name is the worst choice name ever. Who was in charge of this? I expected a rich red, but it's just about the brightest shade red it could possibly be! Oh well. Not worth the hassle of a return. Plus the quality of the jacket and the fir is super.

Very lightweight but warm . The fit is too big but as this is to be my emergency jacket for my car it's OK otherwise I would have returned it . The sleeves are nice and long which I like but they are quite baggy, again, OK for an extra jacket. I'd order down a size. I do overall really like the jacket
