Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

This is a great jacket for warm, rainy weather wear. I found the fit true to size and I appreciated the Velcro around the cuffs to make them more snug. The only thing that I wish this jacket had is a drawstring or the like to make the hood a bit smaller when in use; as it is now, if I put up the hood, it covers half my face. But otherwise, this is very nice jacket.

I got this jacket in the burgundy color and it's beautiful. The fit is so nice too with a bit of shape to it so it's very feminine looking. I am normally as size small in clothes but bought the medium so I could layer underneath. Fits perfect without looking too big so I would say if you are undecided go with the larger size. The inside is a little plastic feeling and I worry it's going to be very hot in the summer here in florida against bare skin. The one thing I wish it had were elastic cuffs. I hate the Velcro at the cuffs. If you pinch it tight to keep out wind and rain it's then hard to get on and off over your hands. I'm thinking of bringing it to a tailor and having the Velcro replaced with elastic since the sleeves are a little long for me anyway. I'm 5'2" and 120#.

This is a lovely raincoat. The light blue color is very stylish and looks exactly like it does on the website. They are right when they describe it as lightweight, it is and it's very breathable. I have noticed I am slightly moist in the shoulders and arms when walking outside. I don't know if it's sweat or rain slightly sweeping in. I had a LL Bean raincoat from a decade ago and it wasn't breathable and I would definitely wet from sweat, so is this an improved version of this, since raincoats are a material to prevent water entry, or does reducing something to make it breathable allow for a little moister to enter? Either way, I do love this coat and I wear it frequently because the slight moister isn't a dealbreaker.

I am enjoying this jacket. It is waterPROOF, folds into its own pocket, is very lightweight, and is roomy enough for a fleece and light sweater underneath. I ordered the 2XL to get the sleeves wide enough, but the sides fall straight, so it looks trim. I like that the cuffs velcro shut.

Very rain repellant (water just beads off) but the sleeves seem oddly long (and I have somewhat long arms). This will pack easily for travel, which is why I purchased it.

Very flexible jacket with a pocket up high that I needed to hold my iPhone. Zips on pockets very easy to use and helpful. I do wish that the inner sleeves were lined or not so rubbery as I need to use long sleeved shirts of sweatshirts to preven my arms from getting sticky.

Liked the color, and general style of this jacket. I do feel that it's a more fitted style, and would recommend that you size up if you want to layer in cooler weather. I'm returning the jacket because they used vecro to close the placket over the zipper. I find that velco can get stuck on unintended things and damage them.

I don't know why LL Bean makes the upper sleeves so tight in their coats. . In plus sizes, it is especially important to keep size in mind. I'll have to return this very pretty jacket and remember never to.purchase a LL Bean coat or jacket.

I got this jacket as a replacement for my old trail model rain jacket whose lining was flaking off. My old jacket was my normal XS, but in this jacket I had to go down to XS petite as both the sleeves and the body were unusually long. Glad I was able to try this on in a store so I ended up with the right size! I hope the lining is sturdier in this new version.

Fit is comfortable and there is room for a sweater or sweatshirt underneath. The Moonlight Blue color is nice. I haven't had a chance to wear it yet so don't know how it will perform in wet weather, thus the 4 stars. Love that it folds down compactly into its own pocket, which will be great for travel. Arrived quickly, like all my L.L. Bean orders.

I love the rain jacket, but I was surprised at the material. I was expecting more of a cloth-like material, but it doesn't trouble me to be more of a "slicker." I'm still getting use to the Velcro closure over the zipper. It holds tightly, so don't try to get out of it in a quiet space!

I liked this rain jacket but I dont think that the size was correct has marked, It seemed.like it was to small, I ordered a large but it fit like a medium, I returned it and will see what other style there may be available.

I bought the extra small & the small thinking one of them would work for me. Its a nice jacket for a tall lady. Both of them had quite long sleeves-too long! I'm not that short either; just not tall. Sent them both back.

Im replacing the other raincoat from LL Bean after 20 plus years of use!

Excellent rain jacket. Excellent quality. Fit was perfect. Beautiful color.

Sea foam. 35 degrees out with fleece jacket underneath.

Nice rain jacket, pretty blue shade but had to return it due to it being too short and was too fitted.

Ive worn this jacket several times and so far, it has kept me dry in the Alabama rain. I ordered an XL so there is plenty of room for layers. I was concerned the sleeves and body length would be too short, but it fits me well. For reference Im 59 155lbs and a long torso.

The fit and function has worked well for me in Hawaii. The color is bright and fun also.

Jacket kept me dry while salmon fishing in a bad storm. I had and old llbean rainsuit that I loved used for years when fishing; this one is even better.

This is a cute jacket and I loved the color! However, the sleeves are weirdly long. The petite version is much better, sleeve-wise, but the jacket was then too short for my taste (I'm only 5'4" but I have a very long torso). On the plus side, it was roomy through the chest without looking bulky, which is a problem I often have with jackets. It's very lightweight/packable, so if you could get the fit right I imagine it would be great for travel.

Hoped LLBean had corrected the problem lining. Wore jacket 1 time for less than 30 minutes, and the lining is shredding & tearing where the hood attaches to collar.

I usually wear a size 4 regular. However, I ordered the petite small because I was concerned about the sleeves being too long. I love the fit and look but the sleeves were still a little long. I also would have preferred it be lightly lined but wearing a sweater helps in the cool or rainy days. I highly recommend this rain jacket nevertheless. I also ordered the orange one for my husband and he loved it.

This jacket is very attractive (a great shade of green, attractive cut, good construction, etc.) I like the interior and exterior pockets and the velcro closures on the storm flap. Waterproof - so far. Hood is okay. Sleeves are a little long for me.
