Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

My Mom-in-Law loves this!! .... The coat and hood work well. Bought this for her to wear to and from the hospital for chronic needs in our rainy unpredictable weather. It's perfect for chilly waiting rooms and just right with pockets for extra masks for COVID protection and her small wallet and keys. Repels water and quick to dry. Keeps her warm in cool air conditioning. She absolutely loves it.

I've owned several trail model rain jackets over the years and love them! I alway size up (I'm typically an XL) because I wear them over layers including fleece jackets, vests, turtlenecks, etc. (NW style!). While still large enough, this model's styling is narrower in arms and body so not as roomy as my previous purchases. I prefer rain shells to fit loosely. Some reviewers mentioned they don't like the Velcro tabs along the zipper but these are one of my favorite features (aside from being waterproof!). Many times I need rain coverage off and on so it's easy to simply open and close with the Velcro which also increases ventilation. During solid rain, I zip it up completely. My other favorite features include the adjustable tab on the back of the hood (allows visibility) and the inside mesh pocket lining which is sewn into the hem making it handy for an ID book or bringIng in the mail on a rainy day by slipping it down the inside of the jacket (although these are narrower than the older style too). Yes, they wear out over time. They lose their repellency and the inside fabric peels but in my experience, I get many years of regular use before this happens.

I LOVE this jacket! Fits like a dream, repels water beautifully, and it actually holds some heat in if it's chilly outside. Haven't ever had to wear it in warm weather, but I can't imagine that it would be too hot either. I have the yellow jasper which I didn't think I would like at first, but now I adore it. Nice and bright to be seen without being obnoxious.

I bought this for my wife for Mother's Day, and she loved it. She says it fits perfectly, and she loves that it has so many pockets.

Comfortable, lightweight and sharp looking !

Love the color. Fit is true to size. Nice quality.

I wanted a light weight rain jacket suitable to keep me dry while outside during the FL rainy season. I knew LL Bean would be my first & best place to look! I checked the reviews to determine the best size for me and purchased it just in time! It arrived sooner than expected and is the perfect fit with enough room for a 2nd layer if needed. That was a pleasant surprise since it is somewhat fitted. I was able to test it out when we had a heavy rain a few days ago. I could feel the rain pelting on my jacket, but to my surprise I was completely dry! I'm so very happy with the jacket and color I chose, that I'm now considering getting a second one in another of the great color choices available!

I bought this because I would be handing out lunches for the local school I work for because we offer curbside and have to get the lunches to the car. It has worked out great and I have gotten compliments on it. It is light weight enough that I packed it up for our side by side trip just in case. Great addition to my closet!

I purchased this to upgrade from my 15 year old LL Bean rain coat (that one was still solid, but I always hated the finicky zipper and its boxy shape). This one is cute, the green color is cheerful, and it repels heavy rain without having that plastic-coat feel. The hood tends to slip back on my head for some reason but it could be just me. Overall, nice jacket, hope that it lasts for another 15 years!

As always LL Bean's X-small petite fits perfectly. One size larger might be OK but shoulders could be a bit wide. Have not used in rain yet so cannot comment on weatherproofing. But always like zipper pockets as items cannot fall out.

I like this jacket. Color was what I expected and size was true. It is most comfortable when I wear a long sleeved top underneath.

I needed a rain jacket that was truly repellent, that I could wear with lightweight fleece vest/jacket underneath, and could stuff dog poop bags in a pocket. This was the one. Love the 'rusty' color. I like the adjustable tab on the hood. Comment: I'm taller than most, yet the sleeves are a bit too long. To the design experts: just because a size enlarges, it doesn't mean that arms grow longer! And please always allow enough WIDTH in the sleeves to accommodate layers. The chest pocket could be deeper - phone falls out if unzipped.

Excellent fabric fit and quality. Just what I always receive from LLBEAN.

This sheds rain easily and it's roomy enough to wear a thick sweater underneath on chilly days.

Lightweight jacket, great for spring, summer and even fall. I bought a large so I could put a light sweater under the jacket when fall comes. Love the color and now I want one in blue!!!

This is my second purchase of this jacket. I bought one last year and lived in it! Great purchase!

nice fit, comfortable, great water resistance, great color (green)

This jacket is as described online. Comfortable and waterproof. The only improvement I would suggest is a 2-way zipper.

Love it. Wore it all this winter in PA. It fits great, I use the hood when it's raining or chilly. It's light weight: I was regularly surprised by how warm it kept me.

I needed a light rain jacket to wear walking the dog. This one is perfect. It fits well including the hood and has deep enough pockets to hold treats and bags.

All good Fits comfortable Love the color Light weight

This jacket is a perfect fit with room for layers underneath so it will keep you warm and dry on cold winter days but is not too warm for milder Spring/Fall weather. It is waterproof and I especially love the adjustable hood which will pretty much stay in place on a windy day. Also love the color. I ordered the dark blue shade, can't remember the name of it.

This is the second one I've had. My old one finally wore out after years of service. I didn't even consider looking elsewhere - just ordered another exactly the same. Looks good, lightweight and keeps you dry.

Comfortable, water and windproof. We were on a trip to North Dakota in May and stayed at Custer State Park. I wore it every day just because it was so windy. We did a lot of walking and jeep tours. The jacket kept me warm. I am very happy with the purchase.

I read in the reviews that the arms were a little snug, so I ordered up a size, so that I could wear sweaters comfortably. I love the coat!
