Rated 5 out of 5 by VirginiaVT Great Flexible Jacket for Women Too!
I am a female and loved the black side panels on this jacket in the picture, so i bought it. The black side panels are visually slimming and this jacket matches my blue scrubs. This jacket is lightweight for spring and fall wear. It is water resistant and does not attract pet hair. It is closer fitting, but comfortable. There is an adjustable Velcro cuff at the wrists which is a bit odd, but tolerable. LL Bean should offer these black side panels on more items for women.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Wasatch Sized too large
Appears to be a good quality jacket for Spring or Fall or layered in colder weather. Material looks durable with plenty of pockets. However, it is oversized. Description called it a Trim fit but I am 6'1" and 170 lbs and a Large fit me like a tent through the chest and waist. I wear a 34/35 sleeve and the sleeves were 2 inches too long although the overall length was satisfactory. Ironically, the shoulders fit well so I was afraid to exchange for a Medium worried it would be too constrained in the shoulders and short at the waist. I have come to learn most of LL Bean's mens shirts, and now jackets, are sized for those carrying a few extra pounds and a belly. I returned the jacket. I would only recommend to a friend if they found a size with a good fit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KawasakiBill Get One of These While They Last!
I wasn`t sure why this jacket is called `Bigelow,` as in the tea company. I was looking for a light, sports-like jacket to wear in a variety of situations. So, I decided to take a chance.
Am I ever glad I did! It is a good-looking, well-made, comfortable lightweight jacket. As soon as I tried it on, I knew I liked it. Plenty of pockets. The dark royal blue is set off well by the black. Yet, it is not so lightweight that you need a sweater under it to stay warm. Zippers are easy to use.
Have already received a couple of compliments while wearing my Bigelow. I see they are now on sale. I just might have to get another!

Rated 5 out of 5 by EditorInSeattle Great Looking-Fitting Coat!
Just purchased my 2nd coat in this style. Really nice, light/mid weight jacket; great for 9 out of 12 months in Seattle.
Fit, feel and style are great. Might not have purchased but the sale price enticed me :) Glad I did!
Probably my favorite lightweight jacket after wearing for a month!
Thanks Bean!

Rated 5 out of 5 by jcarullo Great for winter sports
I bought this jacket about a year ago and was instantly satisfied with it. I ski a lot and I have not found a winter coat better suited for that purpose. The sizing was just right. It stretches when you move and it breathes so you dont sweat yourself to much. I have recieved several compliments from friends who are looking for one of their own so I hope LL BEAN continues making them. Just an outstanding product.
