Light weight, wind breaker,rain wear, and with a sweater, quite warm. Washes and dries so quickly and looses wrinkles from packing with a shake. I have three colors and my husband has two. Here in Tx. its about all we wear most of the year You'll never be dissatisfied with this purchase.
This jacket is outstanding. I live in northern Michigan and this jacket keeps me warm and dry. I've worn it every day since it came in the mail. My one wish.......and would buy another in a heartbeat......if it came in the color BLACK. the dard grey is a so-so color. BLACK is such a great standard issue color, especially for any great product like this jacket. Hopefully it will come in BlACK soon!!!!
This is a terrific parka. Light weight, warm, windproof, deep pockets, fits over a suit, plenty of room to move. i walk to my office everyday and have been thrilled to find a parka that has just the right level of insulation. The collar zips right up with room for a scarf. I wear to the ski hill as well and for coaching outdoor hockey. Thanks L.L.Bean for a great product
My husband searched a long time for a gortex rain parka. This one is perfect except for the zipper. It is very hard to get it started - especially when out in inclimate weather. He is currently so frustrated that he is thinking of returning the parka.
It's a shame the zipper issue can't be fixed because it is a great coat.
