Excellent buy. Light weight and very warm. I like that it zips up from the bottom. Gives me more room when I'm driving or walking the dog. Excellent service from LL Bean. The coat arrived in 2 days (regular shipping) and I didn't pay shipping plus received a $10 gift card good until February 2010. Don't pass this up.
I ordered this coat because we are moving to North Dakota in a few days. It is a very warm coat and very light. My only complaint is that the sleeves are too short. I'm 6'0" and need another inch on the sleeves. When will LL Bean start making tall sizes for women? I don't doubt the quality of LL Bean merchandise, but I won't be ordering clothing from them again until they have tall sizes.
I always order a Large from LLBean. I like the extra room and dislike feeling constrained. In reading the reviews it seemed like the only issue with size was that it might run too big. If I zip the coat I feel like a sausage. Wearing anything heavier than a t-shirt under the coat means no-zipping. I was desperate for a coat for Thanksgiving so returning it was not an option. The coat is nice but be prepared to exchange for size and allow yourself time.
