Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

This jacket fits well, purchased my usual size. It is roomy enough for sweatshirt underneath. And seems to be water resistant. I was looking for something with a little more lining for the fall, this is a very thin shell.. but will keep and wear layers.

Nice jacket. Kept me dry in a very heavy fog on a ferry ride to/from Mackinac Island last week. Also acted as a good windbreaker for my entire Upper Peninsula trip, such was quite breezy/windy. Fits nicely over a tee and sweatshirt. Fabric on right side of zipper often gets caught in the teeth as I zip from the left-sided zipper, so I'm docking my rating by one star. If I continue to need another person to help me unzip the jacket, I will be returning it to Bean!

This coat kept the water off. The sleeves were easy to get off just by releasing the velcro. It was warm enough in the rain in about 60 degrees. Other reviews commented on sleeve tightness. They were fine for me, but not overly roomy. I could wear a light sweater under it and did feel any pulling. It folded into the pocket just fine for traveling. Watch the you tube video for instructions. I was unhappy that LLBean no longer had the gore tex stowaway jacket. I have one and it is superior to the material in the trail model jacket.

Lightweight good coverage to waist. Like the three pockets. Don't like the liner, wish it was mesh.

Good fit, great for light layering, love the various pockets

Light, cute, slim cut, a little short in the length and long in the sleeves, breathable. Not great for a steady rain because it's too thin.

Bought this at the LL Bean store in Maine on our drive to Acadia. It was the perfect rain jacket for our trip.

Beautiful color, comfortable, zip a bit tricky as it grabs the cloth at times. Great good; not found on most rain jackets.

This jacket has a comfortable fit but an become quite warm

Good rain jacket. It is very lightweight, so I sized up in order to wear warm layers underneath. Excellent waterproof capability. Finally watched a u-tube to get the "pocket packing" just right and it worked! Though it is lightweight and packable, it's hot and sticky. Complaint: zipper sticks and gets caught in placket.

Nice jacket but sadly too small. Returned to LL Bean.

The green color of this jacket is gorgeous!. It is super lightweight and it does keep you dry. The zipper works well and material is high quality. My only complaint is about sizing. I tried two sizes on at the store. Large fit well in shoulders and in chest and arms but a tad tight in hip. XL was a little too big in the arms and in the body of the jacket. It does have velcro adjusters on the cuffs which solves sleeve length. The looseness does make layering possible. The jacket does fold up to a very small size and it was not a mess when taking it our of a bag. Other than the sizing its a great jacket.

It is pretty much what I was looking for--lightweight, nylon, nice pockets, velcro closures to help keep sleeves tighter at wrist, good color. I wish the hood were detachable because I don't use the hood. I've looked everywhere for the wind breakers of former years and this is the closest one I've found.

I bought 3 to compare features. There are no armpit vents and I'm a warm hiker. Pockets all zip, good hood and adjustable velcro closures on wrist and for flap over zipper where I prefer snaps. Single layer, light weight good looking.

The fit is fine. My complaint is that I purchased this model because it says it "folds into it's own pocket." That was great. After receiving it I couldn't figure out how to fold it!! It did not come with any instructions. I took it too the L.L.Bean store and they really didn't know either. One sales person ended up just stuffing it into the pocket! I still would like an instruction page to do it correctly. Please help

I loved the color and fit of the jacket but unfortunately it did not keep me dry. It was returned.

Love the color and fit but wish the fabric didn't crinkle all the time. Provides good protection from rain. Feels better if you wear a long sleeve shirt or sweater under it.

The fit of this jacket is smaller than expected . I purchased same jacket a number of years ago, it was much too large after weight loss. I ordered this jacket one size smaller and it fits but without much extra room. I love the color, the pickets, and the Velcro as well as zipper closures. The green color is very pretty.

I purchased this jacket for a trip to Ecuador. It was packable, lightweight and waterproof. The zipper would catch on the inside lining sometimes.

Jacket is not totally waterproof. Purchased jacket for a trip to Ireland. Rain soaked thru both sleeve cuffs. Jacket is light weight and packed well.

Great fit! Love the color! Wish it had vents for releasing heat

I owned the "same" jacket when I was 35# heavier - obviously it's now MUCH to large awa showing wear. I first ordered my new jacket 2 sizes smaller, it was too tight. I exchanged it for one size smaller & while it fits there's no extra room. My point - sizing has changed over time for the same article. Otherwise it's fine, & as noted a very pretty color!

This is the third time I've bought this jacket over the past 15 years or so. In this new one, there's no elastic at the sleeves, which means I have to adjust the velcro every time I put it on/take it off. The sleeves are quite long. And there's no snap at front bottom anymore - just velcro at the very bottom. Disappointing. But the colors are nice.

Love this jacket - the color and performance are top notch. I would have given 5 stars but it was a little tight around my hips.

I bought this coat to take a bike and barge cruise in the netherlands in April 2023. It really worked out well and kept me dry. The hood fit over the bike helmet which was perfect. Love the fit. The only drawback was that it did not have zippers under the armpits. I never thought I wish I had zippers there but for this bike trip I really wished I had them. It is also nice and compact so was able to easy to carry on the bike when not needed. It was also big enough that I was able to put a lot of layers underneath included a LLBean fleece jacket.
