This is a great jacket, but it could be a really great jacket if the cuffs either had full elastic or velcro tightener. The wind goes right up the sleeves and the sleeves slide right up your arm. I loved everything else about it so I opened the cuffs and added full elastic and now it is a really great jacket!
Great down jacket, super light but warms like coats that are twice as heavy! Gave it only 4 stars because it needs something at the cuffs; a pull cord, elastic/knit band, velcro, anything to keep the air from going up the sleeves.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
I tried this on at an LL Bean store near me and it was soo light (as a feather.. ;), and not a bit bulky! They did not have my size in the color I wanted at the store, so I ordred it on-line. This is great when going shopping. I can actually take it off in a store and tuck in my bag. That's so conveneient! And it's very warm for our morning walks when it 15-20 degrees outside. I raved about it so much that my husband purchased one too!
ProsGreat Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
This jacket is performing as expected after reading prior reviews. I got the citron color so I would not look like a deer on the trails during hunting season. This blinding yellow certainly does the job. I was expecting the color to have more green in it, as it seems online, but this yellow serves, and it's too comfy to send back. Pockets are well-placed and ample. Body length is okay, but I agree with another reviewer that the sleeves could be longer. A small tall size would perfect. There is less fill in the arms than I'd like; when walking across an open field in high freezing wind, the wind goes right through. This is a small discomfort given the superior protection and warmth of the trunk. Overall, a very good value.
