Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

Jacket is effective in the rain. Only complaint is that the arms are a bit tight. It fits fine everywhere else, but with the arms being tight I cannot wear anything under the jacket.

Glad I bought it. I used practicality every day of my trip. Unfortunately sleeves are too narrow to allow much layering underneath. Of course it does not allow the cloth below it to breathe or dry out. That said I look forward to using it for years to come.

Didn't work for me. I ordered Petite but it ran too big. Returned it on Sept. 19, 2022

This is a very nice rain jacket with the exception of the arms. They are cut way to small on the plus sizes , cannot even stretch your tight arms without feeling like the back will rip out. Larger women do not have small arms, please take that into consideration. There is no possible way to wear anything on underneath. I have a 2x winter llbean coat where the arms are a bit small on that too, but not quite as bad as this rain jacket which I must return because of the fit.

This has been an overall fairly nice rain jacket with pluses and minuses. First, some pluses: it is attractive, keeps me dry in lighter rain, is reasonably priced, has deep zippered pockets, a flattering fit for me, and is true to size. Some minuses: it gets damp on inside in continuous heavy downpours; it gets soaked on outside in continuous heavy downpours which we can have here in Southeast Alaska regularly taking quite a while to dry out; in heavy long downpours inside pockets get wet and for example recently took two days to dry out necessitating disposing of fresh tissues and a few papers from inside the pockets; the navy one, perhaps others, have white lining which I find unattractive. However, I am keeping it because I looked hard for a summer weight jacket and this works at least for lighter rain with some good pluses. Also, I purchased this especially for hiking and so am out in the rain for long periods.

The upper sleeve is too tight around the arm could not even pull my arms in front of my chest. There is also a piece of Velcro at the back of the neck which is very uncomfortable. Had to send this back.

Jacket runs very small. Color is pretty but wish it had a little spandex type material.

Fabric at neck deteriorated and rain would enter there..also yellow ( color of mine)chips would be on my neck when I took the garment off. I taped it but that didn't work. I threw it out- don't know if the company has improved this.

The jacket color and fit was very good. The jacket comes without a lining....so if you're wearing a sleeveless top underneath the jacket STICKS to your skin and feels cold and wet! Also, would be nice to be able to tuck the hood away inside a zip-pocket when not in use.

Wore this over a heavy sweatshirt on a rainy walk, and felt wet and cold. When I got home, I expected my sweatshirt to be soaked through, but it was completely dry. So this jacket IS waterproof - but it feels like it isn't. That was a dealbreaker for me, but might not bother others.

I wish I had checked the length of the jacket before buying it. It is too short to be very helpful at protecting my clothes from rain.

After reading the reviews, I ordered a size up as I want to be able to layer a light fleece or similar under this rain jacket, especially when traveling. Could do it but would be tight and probably uncomfortable. I have long arms, often have to order a larger size to gain arm length, this jacket is still too short in the arms. Please LLBean, not everything needs to be fitted. Please go back to your past sizing!

The zipper on this jacket is flimsy and hard to work. The sides also flare out in a disconcerting way: I liked the old design better. Otherwise the jacket performs as expected.

I usually love all LL bean products, but this jacket didn't meet my needs. I was replacing an LL bean rain jacket, that is no longer sold. This was supposed to be the replacement productbut it's much shorter. The materials and workmanship are great. Love the inside pockets and mesh lining. I really wanted to purchase one from LL bean, but wound up having to go to another company.

Beautiful and well manufactured, but had to return it due the sleeves being 2 inches too harrow in the upper arms. If you are planning to wear any layers beneath, this jacket's design is wrong.

Jacket is lightweight as I wanted for travel. However, the sleeves are very long and will have to be shortened. This is a common problem with LLBean jackets and tops. Wish the hood could be tucked into the collar and stored away when not needed. That would make it 5 star for me.

This jacket was too small for me. It is very fitted. Unfortunately I will be returning this one.

great look but the arms allow moisture in when it rains. so i returned it.

Color is not a true yellow like the old L L Bean rain jacket. This one has more green in it and not as pleasing a color. As for fit, it's a bit short waisted.

Zipper gets caught, not as sturdy as she would have expected for the cost. She did like the color and fit.

Nice looking but was expecting some kind of lining.. Very plain for100$

I returned this jacket. It was too fitted for a busty person. An extra large would have been way to big. This jacket in relaxed fit would have been perfect.

I have this jacket in 2x, an older version. It fits fine. I wanted to replace it as the lining is coming off in the hood area. This jacket is too tight and I will return or give to someone else. It's good to have room to wear a sweater or sweatshirt underneath in cooler weather.

Bought to wear when it rains. Wore once in medium rain and was soaking wet. Love the jacket otherwise but returned it. Need something to actually keep me dry in the rain

After 8 or 9 months, this jacket is not the least bit water repellent. I get wet with it, and now need to find a replacement. I live in the south, so I didn't want a heavy rain jacket. At first I loved this. But am disappointed that it gets damp all the way through.
