After reading all the reviews and knowing the reputation of LLBean I thought that ordering this coat for Minnesota winters would be a no-brainer. I got the coat and was so disappointed to feel that it is not nearly as warm as I thought it would be. The down is very thin, especially in the sleeves. It was only in the 30s and I felt cold air coming through. Just so you are all aware, there is no lining on the inside--- It is the same kind of material as the outside. Also, something to be aware of, the middle section of this coat is awfully wide.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
So glad I bought this coat. It's so warm without being heavy to wear. Runs true to size and plenty enough room to also wear sweaters underneath. Doing a great job keeping me warm in chilly Northeastern Vermont wind and cold. The raspberry color is a lovely, deep, rich color. Hood comes in handy as well. Just a great buy. Thanks LL Bean!
I bought it because she is a college student in Albany and the winters there are bitter. I wanted a coat that would keep her warm and cover her hips, she wanted a coat that would be stylish. This coat achieved both goals at the same time. She tells me it's super light and keeps her really toasty! Mother and daughter are happy! Thank you L.L.Bean for your loyalty to quality and customer satisfaction!
