ProsGreat Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
This jacket is the best product I have purchased anywhere! It is light, has an excellent unbinding fit, and is unbelievably warm. I bought it planning to wear it as a layer under a lined raincoat (also a very good LLBean product) for a trip to Beijing in January. Didn't need the outer layer as this jacket was warm enough on its own. The pockets are actually big enough to keep gloves in (or warm your hands in, with the nice soft lining); not as many pockets as a parka, but what can you expect from a hip-length jacket? My only concern is that it won't be good in wet cold weather, but it could easily layer under a rain parka.

I bought this for my 19 year old daughter and she loves it! Her favorite color, pond green, is not easily found. Everyone needs a good down jacket, this is very lightweight comfortable, versatile, and warm without being hefty. Tapered to avoid the 'Michelin Man' look that girls avoid, it has a nice, subtle slimming effect! In her words 'it is wonderful!' Can't wait to go skiing!
