Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

I wore this on a trip to Alaska. Worked great in the rain. If it's chilly, wear layers. My only complaint was the hood being a little big.

Liked the jacket, due miss the fact the zipper doesn't open up from the bottom. So that mobility/driving can be made easier.

Bought this rain jacket for my grandaughter who is at Amherst College, she comes from Puerto Rico and had no cold weather rainy gear for the North East. She is loving it.

This replaces my 10-year old LL Bean rain jacket. Fit is as expected, I like a bit of room so that I can wear a sweatshirt or sweater underneath in the colder seasons. The navy color was a lot darker than I expected, it almost looked black on first glance, but it is indeed a very dark navy.

This is a very nice jacket..well made, nice color. I purchased the Regular Medium. The sleeves were 3-4 inches too long and there was no way to be able to make them attractive. I'm exchanging it for a PM to see if that works for me.

This is a replacement Rain Jacket that I had for 10 -15 years. I was pleased to have a zippered pocket on the chest for my lip gloss & small ID/credit card Holder, works well when we are riding on my husband's LT motorcycle. The packable pocket was another new feature that my first did not have, although most of the time I will continue rolling the coat up into its hood. I store a foldable hat in one of the inside mesh pockets to keep the hood from falling down into my eyes when walking around in the rain. Those tall inside mesh pockets are very handy to stash other items into rather than carry a purse when out sightseeing. My only tiny negative is that I wish the arms still had one half of the back cuff elasticized as well as the adjustable strip in the front; my arms are too short & too skinny for just the Velcro adjustment. So thankful that LLBean carried it in Petite Sizes. I pair this jacket with Full zip rain pants that you once offered but was unable to find them when I purchased the jacket.

I travel a lot and found that this jacket was perfect for me. It is light weight, fits into my handbag or a small space in my suitcase, and fits almost exactly as the specifications outline. However, I found that the distance of the hood from the neck were too long and required adjustment. The color was amazing.

Nice and light, close fitting. Does make a bit of a rustling sound. Actually haven't worn it in rain yet, so can't say how it does.

This is actually my 2nd jacket. The first lasted many years and held up well until it started peeling at the neckline, which caused it to leak when it rained. You sent a replacement (Men's Med. because the women's colors weren't great) which I use when I sail in the rain. It, too, has been excellent in a downpour in our hot climate, but now it, too, is peeling at the neck and the label, which is taped in, is peeling off, as well.This jacket is not nearly as old as my last one was and it isn't worn terribly often because we don't get a lot of rain here. I love that I can roll it up and stash it in my sailing bag and it is otherwise in good shape. Help!

It works well in the rain but is very thin. I gave this jacket 4 stars instead of 5 because of the price. I had jackets many years ago exactly like this for 1/4 of the price, maybe even less. Prices have gone up but it is still overpriced.

It is a petite size but the sleeves are quite long.

This is my second LLBean raincoat. I believe the material is a little thinner than the first, but it's fine. Pretty color, too (although not as pretty as my periwinkle one)!

The fabric is great and it is certainly waterproof. I do like the plentiful pockets. As for fit, I am 5'9", 140 lbs, the sleeve length is perfect and it fits well across the shoulders but is a bit baggy otherwise. The fit is not as depicted on your model, it's much looser. This is OK for over a heavy sweater but too loose over a lighter shirt.

I purchased this to replace one that I had purchased almost 3 years ago that had a manufacturers defect. The new jacket, although the same size, seems to be cut narrower in the body which I find disappointing. I was also disappointed that I could not purchase the same color which was a granite/gray. Overall quality is good.

This is a lovely rain jacket, but the style is very fitted. I ordered the 2X so it would be roomy and fit over a warmer layer, but it was snug over a T-shirt. The cut is not for full-busted women. Decided I needed a regular jacket that can double as a rain jacket, so am sending it back rather than trying a larger size.

Comfy and water repellent! Wear something warm under it, and you're good to go. Great pockets. Just wish the sleeves were one inch longer.

Perfect for travel, just roll up and go. I love the bright blue color and waterproof feature, but I wish LL Bean designed the jacket without the velcro zipper flap closures. The 5 velcro sections to match up are time consuming. Do away with the velcro, maybe add a few snaps instead?

Loved nearly everything about this jacket - size, style, fit, color. I ordered a large because I prefer loose-fitting jackets. The style is great and I would've given it a 5 instead of a 4 if the material was a little softer and not so stiff.

Excellent in the rain. Lots of pockets. Can get a little warm when worn indoors.

I really like it but the color was not exactly what it seemed online. Fabric also is very lightweight - not a problem (yet) but I bought a similar coat from LLB a few years ago and the inside lining peeled off.

Like the fit and the color and the velcro at the wrist. Oh, and the generous pockets. Don't like the fact that it's NOT lined. When you're wearing a top that's sleeveless, the jacket feels cold and sticks (clings) to your skin!

Color is true to photo (an earlier review mentioned that the sage is an uglier shade of green, but maybe that was a bad batch). Me: 5'3", curvy, 160 lbs. I originally ordered a petite large, but it was huge on me. The bottom hem was so wide that I could have been pregnant with twins and worn it. This surprised me since many of the reviews say buy a size larger. Either that's just for the regular sizes or they got the factory to start making them bigger. I exchanged it for a medium. The medium fits just right, plenty of room in the chest (C-D cup), even with a sweatshirt on. The only thing I don't like is that the sleeves are indeed long. And like others, I'm questioning whether the quality is really worth $99, though I bought it 15% off. But it will suit my needs, and the color is nice.

Very nice jacket and light weight but upper arms are snug and snug thru shoulders. Won't be able to layer clothing with this size. Reordering in a 2x.

Very nice jacket I expect to wear a long time. Runs small, so order a size up for wearing over a fleece or sweater. I wish there was a reflective strip or spot on the back for visibility in the dark. Lightweight and flexible material..

Great raincoat. Good quality, lightweight, and rain-tested waterproof. The new design for the hood strings works really well--they are tucked away in a kind of fabric tunnel and pop out lower down below my collar bone where they can't fly in my face. My only suggestion for improvement would be to reduce or eliminate the velcro closers on the front flap. I walk every morning and find the velcro annoying because it catches on my gloves. I think your old version with a snap on the bottom was better.
