Lands' End Women's Tall Wanderweight Ultralight Packable Down Coat

I live in Southeast Florida and normally don't travel North during the cold months so no need for a "heavy" winter coat. However, we had a business event in Boston last week and I needed a coat so I bought this coat. When I received it, I though.... no way this could keep me warm...weighed only a few ounces and was very "thin". Boy was I surprised. Weather dipped to about 28 degrees and I was never cold. Love it!!!

This coat was as described and a great option for packing in checked baggage for airplane travel. However, I found the zipper style in the long version impossible for me. The only way to zip the coat is to have the zipper trac straight, This required me to completely bend over to my knees to start the process - not a good idea for a 70+ year old person. I had a much older full length puffer coat that the zipper was only 2/3 of the length. This also left easier walking access. I will be returning this one - not a good design for me.

I got this coat back in October ‘24. It was meant to replace an older lands end winter coat I'd bought years ago that I was happy with, but was looking worn. Three months in and the bottom edges of the coat are fraying and coming apart. I'm so disappointed in the quality this time around. Never had that problem w/ my old lands end down coat.

This is the second packable down coat I have purchased and I love them. I live in a very cold climate and can wear this coat in any temperature; I also bring it on airplanes because it is so lightweight and warm. If I don't need it on the plane, I pack it into the drawstring pouch and use it as a back pillow or neck pillow! The hood and high neck make it great on a windy day, so I wear it all through the spring in the mountains. I am 5'6" and 123 lbs. Small is perfect, even with a bulky sweater. Love them.

I purchased this down filled coat about 6 weeks ago. I am 5'8” 134 lbs with long arms (23” from top of shoulder to just below wrist). The small tall fits me perfectly. I love the way the zipper opens at bottom and that it zips above my chin to hold the hood in place and keep my head warm.
