How warm is the Popham Puffer Coat?

L.L.Bean rates it Warmest, its top comfort level, for very cold conditions. The 650-fill DownTek down and wind-resistant shell are built for deep winter rather than mild days.

It has a relaxed fit, the roomiest of L.L.Bean's fits, and sits farthest from the body. Size down if you want a closer cut and do not plan to layer heavily.

Is it good in rain or snow?

The recycled ripstop shell has a PFC/PFAS-free DWR and the down itself is water-repellent, so it handles light snow and drizzle. It is water resistant, not waterproof, so heavy rain will eventually soak through.

Yes. The two-way zipper opens from the bottom and the hem has snap side vents, so the coat gives when you sit or drive.

How do I care for it?

Machine wash and dry. Use a down-friendly detergent and skip fabric softener to keep the down lofting.

The coat itself. It comes with the attached adjustable hood and two zip hand pockets built in.
