Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

Not quite the same quality and features as one purchased a decade ago. Decent price on sale.

looks like a great rain jacket..only issue is that the hood does not disappear.

Very light and compact, wonderful for packing. Keeps you dry in light rain and is somewhat wind proof as well, although not as good at either as Bean's GoreTex rain jacket. It is, however, much lighter and more comfortable - excellent for travel.

I haven't been in a downpour yet BUT I'm extremely confident that this is the raincoat I've been looking for. The fabric isn't thick stiff, rather it's soft and supple.

First of all, this is more of a highly water resistant windbreaker, than a true piece of waterproof gear. That being said, the jacket works very well and has a good degree of breathability. Overall it can't be beat for the price. One of the biggest drawbacks is actually the zippers. Although they work, they seem flimsy and hard to align to get started. The zippers are what keep it from being a five star. I anticipate they will be the first thing to fail on this jacket down to the road. The fit of the jacket is good. It has good mobility, not too tight, not too loose, sleeves could be a touch longer, but that is OK. I am 6 feet tall 165 pounds and I purchased a large regular.

This is a good rain jacket. It's lightweight. I've only had one chance to wear it but it repelled water efficiently. It has a lot of pockets. I expect that it will last a long time.

Love it. Too much Velcro's but I will get used to it.

Perfect weight and fit. Great outer layer during wet weather.

Is just what I expected. Works fine in the wind and rain.

I bought one of these years ago and although not the best rain jacket, I'd say it was the best rain jacket for the money. I bought another one recently and it just isn't the same. It doesn't fit as well, has pockets that feel like they are too high or too low, and you can feel moisture work through the jacket in a matter of minutes when in rain. More of a windbreaker than rain jacket.

Love this rain jacket! Fits well. All the fasteners are great too. I am curious what the velcro strap behind the neck is for? I thought it was for rolling the hood up when not in use but doesnt seem to work that way.

For some reason they have the sleeve velcro in a place that makes no sense for the size. I bought a small and maybe 1-2 mm overlaps when I close the velcro. Someone with a small frame isnt going to have massive size xl wrists. Put some more thought into your products. Now I have to pay extra to have it fixed.

My husband got this for his damp golf games--easily packable in his golf bag and definitely keeps him dry. This is a versatile rain jacket--also great for traveling.

I use it as a windbreaker on the boat. Fits good and does the job. My last one wore out around the shoulders after five years.

Just what my husband was looking for. Very pack able, well fitting and keeps him dry. We appreciate the extended sizes too.

I love my old LL Bean GoreTex Model 0 AKM6 GoreTex Rain jacket and it and a down jacket are my go anywhere travel clothing tucked into an outside pocket of my suitcase. However, this new trail model rain jacket does hold a candle to it. While lightweight and probably good for backpackers, it's lack of an inner lining in the sleeves makes far less comfortable as an all purpose wind/rain/whatever travel jacket. Please bring back the old one with lined sleeves

Good item, but price is a bit steep for what is essentially a nylon shell. Should include a diagram for people who don't know how to fold it into its own pouch. I've had a couple of these, and have no complaints about quality or performance.

Good value for the money. Does the job without the bulk. Also a good windbreaker.

Good quality material, as expected from LLBean. The only negative is the velcro on the zipper line. It is annoying because it doesn't let you pull up the zipper.

Style, fit & color were just as advertised. But the hood is always open and needs to have a method for tucking away when not in use.

Overall, a good, light, rainproof jacket; however the velcro strips adjacent to the sipper are a pain.

Well made and is as advertised but runs small. When I looked at the label it read that it was made in China so that explained the sizing issue. Had to return & order in the next size up. Suggest customers do the same - especially if you're planning to put warmer clothing underneath.

I have a LL Bean, Men's Trail Model Rain jacket. It is flaking the inner white lining only around the collar section of the jacket. I have attached a picture of this section. The jacket has been worn lightly and with care and has not been mistreated in any way. If have noticed on the online reviews of this jacket that other individuals have also experienced this issue. Can you please let me know if there is any kind of resolution for this matter?

I cannot rate it yet, because I used it only once in light rain where it allowed no water to penetrate and was comfortable. I need to test it in a heavy rain. So ask me againin the future

Overall, a great jacket. Sizing and comfort is good (I selected XLarge to allow a little extra room for layering over a sweater or sports jacket). The jacket is very light and packable - all good features for a warm weather rain jacket Pockets are conveniently located, and from a style standpoint, it looks good. One critique: a lack of light, neutral colors such as light beige or khaki to choose from. I selected graphite, which is sort of a dingy gray, about as close to light and neutral as possible. Orange would be too loud, and the other choices are too dark. I deducted one star because of this.
