Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

Nice and lite-weight rain jacket. Good pocket storage. Only issue I had was that you cannot store the hoodie. It is always hanging out and catchng the wind unless you have it over your head and snugged tight; which I don't do unless it is raining. There is a velcro tab on the back of the hood, but it does not seem to have any function other than to take up some of the bulk of the hood. Otherwise I would have given it a higher rating.

I have used this shell for fall and winter walking for a little more than a year. I like the velco storm flap as an extra layer of protection not available on other shells. Unfortunately the white Tek 2.5 around the neck and hood is starting to delaminate. I don't know how much longer the waterproofing will last as the shell is no longer beading up water. The $99 price is attractive and rather than spend more for similar problems, I'll probably replace it at some future date.

I've bought two of these jacket., One I did not care for very well but the other I took excellent care of. They are.light and function well. Unfortunately, the lining begins to crack/peel after a few years. Too bad LLBean has not addressed this problem as it should have been obvious by now.

I bought this jacket, and am pleased with the product. Be advised that this jacket does not run true to size; it runs EXTREMELY small. I first ordered one size larger than what I usually wear, and the fit was so tight that I couldn't zip it up. The staff was very helpful, and recommended a quick exchange, which I did.This jacket did fit, but is snugger than what I normally wear. My recommendation is to up size at least two sizes above what you normally wear.

Had to return. Tight around shoulders and armpits, and that was without wearing a sweatshirt underneath.

The zipper was defective. Would not move up or down more than halfway. All other features of the rain jacket were as expected. Would buy again if the zipper worked as expected.

I asked your representative for a light weight rain jacket that was lined to avoid that clammy feel but this was unlined so I sent it back. You once made these but have discontinued the product. I don't understand why.

Been buying one size from LLBean for a while without any trouble. Bought this at the size I've been buying and it was too small.

It's okay. I liked my old one better. That said, it's fine as a rain jacket goes.

Nice jacket except for the feeling inside. Sorry to say E.B.'s is better.

Needs a two-way zipper to be perfect. (got it big for layering opportunities)

If its warm weather I Get way to hot and sweaty. Very difficult to be active above 60 degrees.

Should be straight down chest to waist. Needs to be able to get layers underneath. Too tight at waist.

Not lined at all. I have a similar raincost but has a light airy liner. This is just a shell. Expensive shell.

I wear a lot of garments sized LT. When ordering from LL Bean, if anything, they are normally too wide in the body for me. This jacket is the exception. It has quite a tapered fit. I couldn't comfortably fit a sweater underneath. It was also difficult to get full movement of the arms since the jacket is tight across the shoulders. It doesn't breathe at all and it could benefit from either a webbed lining or zippers underneath the arms to vent the jacket. It is waterproof. There was no leakage even in a heavy rain. I ended up giving it away and buying another brand which is the first for me with an Bean product.

Very nice,looks good

This mens rain jacket is made well but has no lining. It is a plastic type material that imo will not hold up to washing. Returned item.

I bought this same jacket for the third time, more in hope than expectation. The first I bought, in '93 or '94, was excellent. I wore it motorcycling, I wore it to sail, I wore it for anything and it didn't leak for 20 years. The second, in 2013? The zippers corroded and stuck from sea sailing in a keelboat. It leaked after 6 or 7 years. Both of these jackets had a zip pocket to fold the hood into; this one doesn't. Are the zips going to be seaworthy? How long will it be till it leaks? Why is there no explanation on this page or anywhere else as to which pocket the jacket folds into? I bought it again but I'm actively looking for an alternative from another brand now.

The quality of the jacket does not the match the $100 pricing.

Not good or bad. Totally mediocre in every possible way.

Birthday present for my husband. The fabric seems too light-weight to be water-repellent, but to be fair, he hasn't tested it yet. It was difficult to zip it up. Fabric was stitched too close to the zipper and gets caught in the zipper each time.

Fit is okay. Zipper sticks a little when unzipping. Not as breathable as I hoped.

Not true to size. If you're between medium to large you must move up to large. While it may not matter with sleeve length or body width the hood becomes much to large due to additional body length. It works but it's uncomfortable.

Effective Rain jacket but it does not breathe, feels like wearing a plastic coat

I wear xxxl everything from LL Bean, both the slightly fitted and traditional fit. This rain jacket is very small, unusually so for LL Bean. In this same order, I ordered other items of the same size that fit perfectly. I would order a size up on this particular item. I'm going to have to return this :(.
