This jacket is a great value for the price. I would say it's a little boxy, as I expected, and a fairly roomy cut. I seem to be on the border between small and medium, but with the medium I have room to wear a sweater. The jacket is also longer than I expected; it goes down to about mid-bum. This is a good thing because there will be less ride up to let drafts in. Another thing I noticed right away was the snug interior cuffs, which are very nice for keeping drafts out of the sleeves.
I just ordered this in the lily pond and the color is even prettier than on my monitor - a fresh spring green. I am going to use it as my ski jacket after pricing a "real" ski jacket in the stores and almost fainting. This jacket has good mobility across the arms and chest, a nice close fit and is a little longer in the back - all important in a jacket used in winter sports. It also has a drawstring around the bottom to make it more snug and zip pockets which are necessary features for the slopes . A great jacket at a fantastic price.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
Great jacket for a great price. I live in Arizona where it does get cold a few times a year so I wanted a goose down jacket but not one make for Alaska. This seems to fit the bill. Also, I've only tried it on but it doesn't make you look like a giant marshmellow. Nicely styled.
I think this jacket is running a bit small - could it be me? But - it is so beautiful!!! I ordered the Deep Wisteria and it is a rich gorgeous purple with the yolk a nice accent - but hardly noticable. Of course it is made well - that's why we order llBean - right? I bought it to replace an 18 year old jacket from llbean that actually is still plenty good but I lost weight and it's baggy enough that the cold air comes up at the hem of it. Can't wait for it to be cold enough to use it!!
