I bought this in the nice tan color. It is warm enough to walk the dogs in and shovel snow in the winter here in VA. Nice hood stays on because it is lined with the fleece. Soft and fairly thick. I have not yet washed it.
I really like the velcro inner pocket. While jogging my ipod stays securely in the pocket! I have washed it a couple of times and its the same color and hasn't shrunk or have any loose threads.
Great working warm jacket. I am a woman and had to exchange the size L for an M. It is warm and soft and is the quality I expect from LL Bean. There isn't anything comparable in woman's sizing so I would like to see a greater variety of colors: bright blue, red...
