I am very pleased with this jacket. Just returned from a trip to misty London and chilly Norway. This jacket was perfect for the trip! Unlike other travelers, I was not a bit cold or damp despite some rain and wind. I also like the fit of this jacket. It fits close to the body, which helps keep wind out and gives a neat appearance. The one drawback of this fabric is that the long sleeves of tops push up as you put the coat on. But that is manageable by holding onto the cuff of the top as you put your arm through the sleeve of the jacket. The benefits of the coat far outweigh this inconvenience.
Although I haven't worn it very often, I like it very much. The pockets zipped--a detail I was looking for. The fabric is soft, and seems unlikely to pile. I wish it had more room in the torso so I could wear another layer under when the weather gets cooler.
Looked good in the catalog. Ordered two, realized why it is water proof and wind proof: material has a rubbery feel, not to my taste. Returned both for regular fleece, love the replacements.
Excellent quality, as usual for LLBean. I walk 2 miles a day by the ocean and it is a true wind blocker. The quality of the fleece is above standard and the finishing edges on the sleeves are just another advantage. Can't wait to see how this jacket performs in the fall!
