I just purchased this jacket because the one Ive had for 5 years is getting worn out I wear it so much. It is the exact same one only in a different color. My first one has weathered me through many a storms and blizzards. Its very warm and durable. This is why I bought the exact same one again this year.
I have bought three of these. That should be all I need to say. That is not a reflection on the quality of the jacket but of my love for the jacket. The quality is great. I ordered the second because I grew out of the first, and the third just to have another color . . . and that is not like me. But I love this jacket. My favorite features beyond the cozy warmth are the interior pockets and the removable hood.
This jacket is truly lightweight. Extremely comfortable to wear. One just does not mind putting in on because it does not bog you down. Does keep you very warm especially on the super windy days in Kansas I wished it was a little longer to cover more of persons backside
MD weather has been extreme for 2016 so far to say the least. This jacket is very warm, comfy and a little roomy for extra layers underneath. It is my "go to" jacket when the temps get low and the winds pick up. Also very attractive in design and color. Always loved the LLBean outerwear as I have several different types of coats from there, all of exceptional value and quality. It is my "go-to" place first when searching for a jacket/coat.
