Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Cresta Stretch Rain Jacket

This is a well constructed coat designed for the worst of conditions. I know I'll get years of use, getting me through my trail hikes. conditions. I love it.

Love it. Soft comfortable breathable and water resistant.

Very comfortable, roomy but has a slim look to it, improved zipper with protective flap. Clearly an improvement on the previous model. Have not yet tested it in serious rain conditions

This is a wonderful jacket because it stretches and breathes and looks great. My husband loves it. In addition, it acts as a great windbreaker and works well for all outside sports.

Good looking, very lightweight and fits well. The actual fabric (or the waterproofing coating) felt a little strange at first, but it has grown on me.

Great light weight rain jacket with many nice features.

With the damp weather I was pleased to see water beading on the jacket. It just feels like it was made to move with me.

i live in a wet cold then hot climate. This jacket is wonderful. Your current alternates just don't cut it. For half of the year, this is the one I grab 90% of my days outdoors. It is my ''rain jacket'', windbreaker, man-purse, dog-training wear, and fashion accessory. I have searched llb & others, but cannot find any equal anywhere. I have a closet full of what you & others call similar; but none are. Please bring this back ! You owe your long-term customers this.

So light and comfortable. This jacket can roll up small in my back pack.

The jacket is light weight, comfortable, and well made. The perfect rain jacket or windbreaker.

Very comfortable. Good summer to buy a new raincoat.

Bought this for my husband in gray. We walk in the rain a lot and he stays perfectly dry!

Best value out there...Perfect weight for warm weather too !

Nice jacket with a great fit. The stretch aspect is a unique feature, that has made for a more comfortable experience.

Lightweight and Waterproof Rain Jacket that fits very well with excellent construction and finish. Highly Recommended!

Great quality and convenient for carrying anywhere

An amazing jacket. Comfortable even on a warm rainy night. I'm tall with a trim build and the medium tall size gives enough body length without the oversized look.

When I bought this I had a checklist in my hand: length, zippers, flap, lining, hood, cuffs, and fit. This jacket had every thing except the lining. Omitting the lining makes it lighter of course, but I am concern about clamminess, so I will make sure to have a long sleeve shirt under it. I especially like the flap with its little snaps. I may never use the snaps but I value the flap and snaps for backup in case the zipper fails. The stretch and the pumpkin color are both great. I was in a moderate rain and the jacket performed well. Haven't had the ultimate test yet!!

The rain jacket fits great and is the right weight for what I was looking for. I normally wear X-large in most jacket, but this was good at large.

I bought this jacket for my recent bicycle ride on the Mickelson trail through the Black Hills in SD. The jacket was very comfortable with raglan sleeves and a generous cut. I liked the long sleeves and body length in my tall size. I was surprised that the jacket, when folded up to fit into a handlebar bag. was not bulky at all. The side pockets are placed higher up than I am used to. But wearing a backpack type of water hydration pack with a waist belt I noticed that I could still get into these pockets. I used the jacket as a wind breaker for a chilly and windy day ride. I kept warm with a thin hoodie and this jacket. We ran into some rain sprinkles another day and the jacket performed well beading up the rain drops which I could shake off. I would highly recommend this product.

It's amazing. I planned on getting the cheaper model (which seems totally fine!), but made the mistake of putting on this one, and couldn't go back. It's great in the rain, but also breathes well, is comfortable, and breathes well. The employee in the store said it has great longevity- if that's true, then it was a steal.

Excellent weight and drape. Runs a bit large if not wearing thick top underneath. Hood lies nice and flat and style is flattering. Great for traveling. Waterproof.

True to size. Very light weight. Well constructed.

I purchased this jacket for my son. He loves to golf in all kinds of weather. He found the jacket comfortable and kept him warm in the early spring .

This jacket replaced an older Bean rain coat that I loved. I'm happy to report it's even better! The material is water repellent but doesn't sound plasticky.
