Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

Worn it the first day the other day and it was just misting out all day, not raining and my back was all wet, my chest and arms also... I love llbeans stuff but this jacket was not water proof at all. will not buy again..

I'm in agreement with some others that did not like this jacket. Paper like, cheaply made, didn't appear like the picture. NOT at all waterproof. Went for a short walk in a drizzle...was soaked. Made in Viet Nam. What happened to made in the USA? LL Bean can and should do better. Returning product.

Worst item I have purchased from LL Bean, sent it back for a return. Totally unsatisfactory for the money.

While i am rarely unsatisfied with anything i purchase from LLBean this i did not care for. Felt like i was wearing a plastic trash bag and not very breathable. I had to return it.

2 major problems w/ this rain jacket that keeps going up in price every year. 1st is that it you simply cannot wear this w/ bare sleeves, it will stick so cloyingly to your skin that unless you let the jacket dry out completely before you try to remove it, you will weaken the inner membrane so much that it will be even less effective at keeping you dry (if that's even possible) the next time you need it. It is that poorly made. 2nd thing is the inner membrane spray is so weak and sensitive that if you were to keep this jacket in your car, for those emergency type rain situations in the spring and summer, and leave it hanging on your hook in the back seat area and it was exposed to direct light for even a few days, the membrane spray will start flaking off like little pixie dust, and if you don't realize it and put the rain jacket on, w/ say, an LL Bean fleece sweater, then you will learn that it is almost impossible to shake those flakes off of clothing like that, and it will be an LL Bean twofer, two items of clothing that are both overpriced and now 2x as hard to clean! I had to hand wash my fleece 2x to get all the little flakes out of it, and 2 years ago, I would have just gone and gotten an exchange, as I learned the hard way that this rain jacket is very low quality, but, now that LL Bean does not stand by its products anymore, one has no options but to learn form one's mistake and never buy stuff like this from LL Bean again. There are better options out there of higher quality from other brands, don't waste your money on this, unless you really have money to waste. it won't last more than a couple dozen wearings from my experience, and you won't be able to return it for an exchange after a year either. Very sad to see LL Bean go this direction w/ seemingly everything, price(up), and quality(down).

I have owned this jacket for a couple of years but I haven't worn it in heavy rain until this past weekend. I got SOAKED. My arms were soaked, as was my shoulders. I'm disappointed, especially considering this wasn't a cheap jacket.

Purchased the new Trail Model Rain Jacket in 3 different colors based on my satisfaction with last year's traditional fit version. Did not realize until I tried on one of the jackets I just received that the new version is fitted differently. Can barely move my arms. Why did you change the sizing? Will be returning.
