Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

Does what it should for a compact, easy to add to your carry-on, garment. Zero insulation, so consider what layers you might need if packing for a colder climate. Pockets are a nice feature; most useful!

Seems pretty good so far I have not really put it to the test yet. Wish it was taller though

My only problem with this jacket is the hood which hangs into my view. I have tried to adjust the cord for the hood to tighten it up but it hasn't seemed to fix the problem,

My husband really likes this rain jacket--all of it fits well for the XL (although the hood is a bit big), the navy color is perfect, and he is looking forward to wearing it. The only off putting thing is the "packing it away" in the lower left-hand pocket. Not easy to figure out at first, then once we did, I managed to stuff it in there, and it did fit, finally! Only problem is then the jacket gets pretty wrinkled. Not a huge deal. I would have given this a 5 rating, but had to settle for a 4 due to how tricky it is to pack away.

Slightly narrow in chest and shoulder, needs a bit more room for movement or fitting over a sweatshirt. The next size up was too big.

The jacket is very well made, but the hood covers too much of the head.

I don't usually use the hood but nice to have if needed. Still figuring out how to tighten it in the wind. It seemed to stay on any way, but the wind eased a bit so not really tested. I had a small umbrella that day too. One sleeve got wet in a quick burst of rain. It seemed very wet, ie it did not bead off. So that is one negative but should be ok for around town jack. (The outside of the jack is not the real waterproof part, but the jacket won't breathe if it is wet so might have more sweat, and it will still feel cool even if layers under the jacket are dry) I got bright green , decided dark days I might still need to be seen even if this is just for town.

Saw this jacket in the store, tried it on and I loved it. Lots of good features. Whey I got home, I realized I had 3 other similar jackets, so I returned it.

Waterproof jacket and serves its purpose, however it is not breathable at all and so I immediately heat up when I wear it. Just seems like rain jackets I have had in the past somehow let the heat dissipate without letting the rain in.

This an excellent jacket. Have not worn it in a driving rain storm but it has proved to be water repellant in rain. Rating of 4 stars is because of the relatively short time I have had the jacket. Also, would like a more substantial zipper.

Has a substantial feel. Well fitted. Adequate pockets. Remains to be seen how well and for how long it sheds rain. Most "raincoats" lose their waterproofness in a few years, from my experience.

Good Product - as advertised - The deep zippered pockets are useful and convenient. The velcroed seal over the front zipper keeps the elements out. The hood protects well also

Nice, basic raincoat. It's unlined so if you want something warm, look elsewhere. As a 3 season, layering peice, it's perfect. It's slim enough to not look like a tent but not too much that I can't wear a shirt and sweater underneath. I am 5'7" about 160 and the small fits great.

Haven't had many chances to wear it but it seems to have that LL Bean quality that I've always sought. Sleeves are a little bit too long for my arms though. They don't stock this in the retail store in Hanover, MA so I didn't get a chance to try it on before ordering by mail. I wish I could have tried the size on before purchase. It would be nice if they had a representative size in stock for fitting purposes before ordering by mail.

Though a medium, a bit snug for me. Yet a medium jacket I bought last year was a bit large. Zipper works better than last jacket, too. Pockets are only OK (size, position). You can get a better rain jacket somewhere else for half the price.

Nice jacket. Light weight and great color. Fits well.

it is an excellent jacket I've used it over years, but I find it too short. For instance when I ride my bike it barely covers my back. An inch and inch 1/2 longer would make it perfect.

Fairly good fit. Quality appears to be good. I would like it to be a little longer because I have a long torso. Coat keeps the rain out .

Good quality jacket, but I thought the lining was thicker than the one in it.

Love the rain jacket, but sometimes the zipper gets stuck which takes time to fix! Other than that it is waterproof! Great jacket overal!

Nice and waterproof, but would feel better to wear if it had a liner.

Good raincoat!!! Zipper get stuck in lining frequently.

Great quality rain jacket all the way around. Only issue with my purchase is the jacket runs a slight small but not enough to exchange.

This replaces my 20 year old one, that is wearing out. I particularly like the Velcro option to hold it closed without zipping. That adjusts for all weather.

Works well. Keeps me dry when it's raining. A little baggy.
