Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

I haven't worn this in a rain storm yet, but I presume it is fine for shedding rain. It fits well and is very light.

Great jacket for the price. Good fit and performance. Hood is a bit cumbersome and big.

The rain jacket doesn't feel like "breathable" fabric but it does a fine job of repelling the rain.

Pros: The Navy Blue is color is great. Plenty of pockets and draw strings to hold rain out. Cons: Very thin material....Also, I ordered a Regular Medium (what else "would" I order given I am 5'10" and 142 pounds) and it is designed a little too short (looks trendy, but they give up some rain protection). This might suffice as late spring to early fall short rain coat, but it is much too light for at least half the year. Can't even layer underneath very well because although it is almost a tailored fit (looks good) to my toned body, it is too tight to layer underneath with a decent weight sweat shirt...Function is more important than looks in a rain coat, they missed that point with this particular rain coat...Still, it is nice for 1/2 the year (warm weather rain mitigation) and I'll be keeping it.

Good raincoat. Why make it trim fit and shorter at the hip than prior raincoats?

Jacket fits well but hood does not fit on head properly. It is too large and falls on face and blocks vision.

Normally I wear large with most brands but I found this was a little to restricting in the chest and the neck when fully zipped. I'd say size up from your normal for a relaxed fit that you can layer in.

Wish they had a Maybe for if I would recommend this to a friend choice Great lightweight jacket that can be easily layered under with a vest for chilly spring/fall days. My issue is that the lining is beginning to peel away. My wife had the same jacket and her lining peeled within 2 years, but she was able to return it because of the past Fabulous return policy, no longer in effect. Hoping peeling issue is being addressed?

The jacket is very roomy and perfect when you need to layer your clothes. I find that the Velcro near the zipper attaches to the inside mesh. It doesn't rip the mesh but pulls it a little.

Love the color... only difference is I have had same style before, same size, and this one seems a little smaller.

Currently on my third replaced jacket for the inside material was always defective; it seems they finally updated the material inside so hopefully it won't flake off. As far as the jacket goes - it is waterproof. I've ridden my motorcycle in pouring rain and it keeps me dry. Something not mentioned in the pics or description - the back of the hood is adjustable with velco so you can make it hang over your eyes or keep it above your forehead if wanted - which is a must-have feature for me with a rain jacket hood. It's a nice fit for a rain jacket- not too baggy but not too tight.

Wish it had a t-shirt lining instead of the cold vinyl-like lining. Still it's great over a sweat shirt or other jacket to provide a water-proof or wind-proof layer.

All good except left chest pocket missing from older version. Nice touch adding the flannel lining.

I bought this jacket as a Xmas gift for my husband. I returned it because another rain jacket came on sale and he preferred that one. I'm sure it's a fine jacket. It's hard to rate because he never wore it.

Fit the body, but the sleeves way short for a tall. Ordered Large Tall and that is what it took. Never hurts to go larger...only 1-2 inches more and the sleeves "work"

Quality seems excellent but size is in the small side.

Fits well, looks good but the zipper consistently gets caught on surrounding material. My son has an LL Bean shell of a different model and his does the same thing. Kinda annoying but otherwise I like the jacket.

Lightweight, comfortable, and waterproof. That's all I ask from a rain jacket, and this one delivers.

I am satisfied that it does what they say it would do. I wish though that the hood was removable

It's a decent jacket to be worn outside. Also a jacket that's decent.

Haven't used it in the rain yet so can't speak to that performance.

It fits well, adequate protection, has pockets and hood

I wish that this jacket had a tuck-away hood (eg: tucked into the collar). I tried a bunch of jackets over the years with detachable or tuck-away hoods, but returned to this one because I could not find a jacket that combines the features, fit, durability, and pack-ability of this jacket.

I had asked for a message to be included with the product for the recipient's birthday and it was not. So the recipient had no idea who sent it until I called them when it was delivered.

Fits good with plenty of storage areas easy to access
