Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

Rain jacket does not reach below hips if you are tall 5'10". Typical length shortfall at LLBean. Material very light weight and flimsy not sure how much protection it provides from rain.

This jacket suffers from an overabundance of velcro. All the pockets, the zipper placket, and the sleeves have large pieces of velcro. If you don't use the velcro, it catches on things and collects fuzz and lint. I especially dislike the 4" long pieces on the sleeves that are completely unnecessary. I'd like to remove some of the velcro but it's on there pretty securely and I'm afraid of ruining the jacket. Also would have liked a cotton lining. In humid weather, this jacket is a bit uncomfortable.

Fits well but if it's raining and high humidity, the sleeves are sticky & hot. A cotton lining would have helped.

Great jacket but for some reason doesn't have a two way zipper.

I've worn this jacket for over a decade, having bought around three in the same plus size. I absolutely love the jacket, but the one I just picked up has noticeably smaller upper arms. I usually wear a thin fleece under it in the fall, early winter, and spring, but wearing only a t-shirt, the upper arm is snug. My old jacket of the same size has a much roomier upper arm. I hope in the future the cut of the sleeves is changed back to what it used to be.

Does not keep you really dry. Thought it was suppose to be waterproof.

Love, love this rain jacket. Fit is good. Looks great

Let led the style and color very much. Jacket didn't fit me through the shoulders (too tight) so I ordered a men's medium.

Great lightweight rain jacket but it's not long enough.

I've owned several trail model coats in size large and have had plenty of room. Since I didn't care for the basic black and navy colors I figured I'd order the jacket since it comes in some nice colors. The jacket was beautiful, I loved the color and it was made well however I could barely zip the zipper. It looks like the sizing has changed . I was so disappointed it didn't fit.

The jacket was nice but I prefer a little heavier fabric. Thought it was "flimsy" for the cost.

Nice windbreaker. Love the style/fit. It is definitely not waterproof.

This rain jacket is fine, but runs very large. Haven't worn it in a downpour, but in light rain without an umbrella it kept me dry. It is well vented. The pockets are large enough and zippered, which is nice. While the body fits well with a enough but not too much roominess, the hood is too big, the sleeves are too long, and the wrists are too big even with the velcro tightened. These aren't deal breakers for me, but are the reason I docked it a couple of stars.

I thought the jacket would be a heavier material - it's more like a windbreaker. So I was disappointed thinking it would be good for fall wear, but not really warm enough. So for the price of nearly $100, it is far too expensive.

I bought this jacket based on another LL Bean jacket of the same size that I already own. This jacket definitely runs small. Although I never wore it (being returned), I feel that I would sweat in it.

I would buy this, except it doesn't have a 2-way zipper.

I have the original jacket of this type, and I love it. That said, I realized that this one was different from the first, but I just wanted a light-weight thing to throw on when it was drizzling or looked as if it might. So I bought this model. Well, to be brief, it seems pretty waterproof--and nothing more. It's probably not a jacket you would wear around, unless you it was raining just then. It seems to have no ventilation; you end up sitting there in your own effluvium. Not a comfortable all-day jacket. But, I guess it's good enough for what it's designed for. I'm keeping it.

I love the color and fit however this coat is not rain resistant. I mean being outside, walking etc, in a gentle rain you will get soaked through. Disappointing

This jacket is very nice but kind of fitted. It is kind of tight & has velcro fasteners as well as a zipper. I guess I'm going to have to lose some weight in order to fit into it comfortably.

Was a darker green than on the computer and is so thin and for what you get overpriced.

It repels rain fairly well. The sleeves are long and it's very thin.

I liked this rain jacket but I don't 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.

Rain jacket felt like high quality fabric and good design. However, it was significantly longer than expected and was returned.

The "Burgundy" jacket is misrepresented online. Instead of a nice brick red as shown, I received a disappointing dark plum jacket. The jacket is also very fitted and does not allow room for more than a long-sleeve t-shirt underneath. I ordered my usual size, which was correct according to the size chart. The next size up would be too large. I will likely return the jacket.

I loved my original rain jacket and it was a perfect fit. I ordered another one, because mine is so old it was falling apart. The new one in the same size is much smaller. I can't get the larger size, because the sleeves will be too long. Very disappointed . Returning the jacket. Would only recommend to a friend if they were tiny.
