Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

The jacket looks good, fits well and is a great windbreaker. However, when I have worn it in the rain, even for brief periods, the inside of the jacket becomes damp. My experience with this jacket does not align with the website's description of this jacket as a a waterproof rain jacket.

Feels very thin and cheap, more a poncho than a jacket. Also crafted for slender or smaller men. If you have large shoulders or upper arms, this will restrict your movement.

It'd be okay for someone who wanted its features. I was looking for something like my old outer layer that not only kept me dry but had fabric so I didn't come into the outer layer and had lots of pockets.

Too tight under the arms. I'm 5'5" and 150 lbs. M should fit comfortably. I will exchange for L.

This appeared to be the direct successor to my 30 year old jacket. It is not. The inner surface feels like a cheap iron-on plastic and is quite uncomfortable. I would return it but that would leave me without any on an upcoming trip.

This jacket is okay if you are running around town or going to the mailbox. This is not made for hiking. I took this on a 10 mile hike and I was wet for 8 miles of it. Did not hold up to the rain at all.

I was soaked through after a short time in the rain.

Sizing is way too small, by at least a full size too small

It's simple. The rain jacket lets moisture through if you spend more than 20 minutes outside in the rain or snow. Might as well buy a nylon jacket for half the price. Wasn't expecting waterproof, but come on.

I'm a large guy but never have an issue with XXXL clothing. This jacket is very tight on me and quite frankly is more like a jacket I would pay $20 for, not $100.

Run small. Watch for membrane peeling on inside before Beans new warranty expires.

This is a great looking and fitting jacket. I had my first chance to use it as a rain jacket while shooting sporting clays in intermittent drizzle. The outer shell absorbed the rain and became soaked. The inner shell felt damp and uncomfortable. I am returning it today.

I wear a medium in just about everything, so I originally purchased a medium of this jacket. Loved it aside from the fact that it pulled tight across my pretty average sized shoulders and upper back even when just putting it on, so I swapped it out for a large, which was still tight through the same area. Just something with the cut I guess, but I'll be returning the large as well unfortunately (good test of LL Bean's return policy, though, and can confirm it's great). If you can try it on in a store and the fit is good, I'm confident that it'll be an amazing all-purpose rain jacket for you. It's light and folds up small but kept the rain out and felt durable.

The Velcro is the same on each side and does not stick

This is a pretty great coat, and I loved the color that it came in (bright yellow). My husband wore it when he biked into work in the rain and on rainy dog walks. However, after a few years it started to leak like mad and the waterproofing came off along the shoulders especially. I would not recommend.

Ordered XL reg because XL usually gives me more room for movement in active wear. This was perhaps the tightest fit I have ever seen in anything labeled XL. The description says "slightly fitted," but sleeve hem on my jacket is half way up my shoulder to my neck. No room for movement at all. Reaching forward causes the sleeves to pull up several inches. Description says "falls below hip." Well, yes, but barely. Not much protection from rain if doing chores that involve bending over. I have several LLB shirts sized XL that are far roomier than this jacket. There is something seriously wrong about the sizing on the jacket I received.

Looked nice online. But after getting it, it seemed cheaply made

Just ok. I bought another rain jacket for my husband and he preferred it to this one. This one feels like one you would buy at a discount store.

Since this was purchased as a birthday gift for a friend, I will need to await his birthday to give it to him and provide his input. I am certain he will like it as long as it fits.

I love the color and feel of this jacket. The hood is perfect. The torso runs a little small, so don't expect to layer much underneath. Unfortunately, I had to return this jacket because the sleeves were too short, which was esp disappointing since it was supposed to be a large tall. I wanted to try the next size up, XL tall, but it was sold out.

The jacket is made of cheap material and way overpriced when compared to CarHart, Sportsman, and other outdoor vendors. Very disappointed.

I had hoped this could be a nice water-proof wind breaker for temperatures in the 40s - 50s F. This jacket has no warmth to it. There is a net lining; however, it provides no warmth in any way, shape, or form. Very disappointed. I would not recommend this jacket.

I am a huge LL Bean fan and have been satisfied with most of my purchases for many years. In this case I was disappointed. While I have to admit adding a bit to my girth during Covid lockdown I was sure that stepping up to an XL would give me plenty of room underneath for layering. This was not the case. It fits well as long as I don't have any bulky items on first. I am inclined to think the product sizing runs a bit small as I have another LL Bean (winter coat) in XL that gives me plenty of room for layering. Additionally, I am not impressed with the quality of construction. I don't plan on abusing the garment but it seems a bit flimsy and I would expect to get two years of lite use out of it instead of more as I had hoped.

20 hrs ago purchased xl tall windbreaker that I still have but which lost rain resistance. Over a year ago I purchased another from llbean same size as a replacement. Foolishly I didn't put it on until much later to discover that this xl tall is sized smaller than my previously purchased xl tall from Bean. Given your less generous than formerly Return policy I didn't send my purchase back. But I did replace it with an xxl tall rain jacket from Bean. Advertised as being breathable, it ain't. Wearing it over a hoodie during a several mile walk in a snow shower left me sweat soaked. If I can find the Return doc I'll send it back.

The sleeves were too short. I am retuning this. Most other items I have purchased in tall have fit, but this was too small.
