ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
Bought this about 2 weeks ago. Weather here in CO hasn't gotten very cold yet but from my experience so far, it won't be a problem. Wore the jacket in a moderately cold high wind and was perfectly protected - with a T-shirt underneath. As others have said, hard to believe anything this light can be so warm. Pockets well-placed and zippers are for once non-problematic. I mirror the comments calling for wrist Velcro closures. Aside from that, a 100% excellent product. Buy the Ragg Wool hat to go with it and you're set.

It's uncanny how warm this is, and literally so light that you would swear you're wearing only a t shirt. To quote previous reviewers: "This jacket defies the laws of physics," and "This jacket is eerily warm." Incredibly comfortable. Vermont.
haven't used this too much since I've gotten it, but it has been very warm. fit kind of large though--ended up trading in for a smaller size. But LLBean is very easy to work with in the return/exchange process
I expected a jacket type parka, but instead it was like a lining that zips inside a coat or jacket. Is this the full jacket/ Price if too high for just a liner type jacket,.

Thank you for sharing your comments. We’re sorry that you were disappointed with this product. This is an ultralight piece that offers great warmth yet packs small. You may be interested in our more traditional Goose Down Parka, which is longer and comes with a zip-off insulated hood.
In the meantime, please call so we can help exchange this jacket for another item or arrange for a complete refund. As always, we want you to be happy with every item you buy, and we back this with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Thanks again for taking the time to post your remarks.
