Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

The jacket overall is nice but the fit is not as anticipated. Very small through hips, large across top and sleeves way too long. Will be returning it and swapping for a different jacket.

I have several XL H2O LLBean raincoats and several XL LLbean jackets and winter coats, but wanted a light weight rain jacket to pack in our RV for just in case it rains. I ordered a 2X, 2 sized larger that what I own because I wanted a larger size so that if need be, I could wear a sweater under it. This jacket was smaller than ANY of the LLBean coats I own. I sent it back.

I was a little bit disappointed about the color. The color is not bright as it shown in the catalog. The material is not too sturdy and doesn't worthy for that price.

I loved the color, fit and quality BUT it smelled.

So disappointed. I bought this jacket several years ago and the fit was comfortable and roomy. My size has not changed since then, but this jacket is snug, can never wear a sweatshirt or sweater underneath and the sleeves are tight.

I have an older version of this rain jacket that is great, but started to delaminate. I ordered the latest version. It fits other than the arms. I don't generally have a probably with the arms of clothing being too tight, so I was surprised that this was too tight. LL Bean - please re-work the plus size pattern for this jacket!!!

This is my 3rd LLBean rain jacket. Always the same size, 2XL. My last one frayed in the shoulders and arm holes so was replaced by LLBean. I appreciate that but upon receipt, I found that my new jacket is much tighter than the last for being the same size. I can wear this but it is not nearly as comfortable and I won't be able to wear a sweater or sweatshirt with it. Disappointing that they have changed the sizing.

The body fit true to size, but the arms were like sausage casings. Very odd for an LLBean item.

This jacket was styled for someone with very narrow hips. It was a bit to large in the shoulders and to snug in the hips (and my hips are not large.) The fabric was very flimsy. I understand that it is nylon, but did not seem substantial. I did like the color.

I've had a trail model jacket for about 10 yrs-great fit, great raincoat but the inside neck area cracked/tore; looks terrible & scratches neck (rest of jacket is in great condition) Purchased a new one, same size as original-too tight; didn't realize they had changed material & inset sleeve at shoulder (as opposed to raglan style at shoulder) causing a different fit. Ordered another, next size up & too big. Needless to say VERY disappointed & have to return 2 jackets-whenever stores reopen.

This is only a step above having a plastic rain poncho. Nice tailoring, but no warmth from a cool rain. I really wanted more of a rain coat, but the one pictured was too expensive/

I do not like the new trail rain jacket's Velcro at all. I prefer a snap at the top and at the bottom. The Velcro gets stuff on everything. There needs to be a 2-way zipper, as there used to be. This Petite Large was too tight and way too long. The only thing I like was the color! I'm sad it wasn't what I expected.

Great rain jacket; well made. Pink color is gorgeous. I'm normally a PS in Bean but bought PM for looseless and layering. Fit is spot on. What I can't tolerate is all the velcro. It's on the front placket and sleeves. Velcro catches on clothing and looks dirty after a while! What happened to snaps???

even though it was on sale I was extremely disappointed when it arrived..just seemed (plastic) to me I will be returning it

I bought this in Jan or Feb 2019 to wear in Alaska in June. I have only worn it then. I washed it when we got home in cold water, Tide free & clear, NO fabric softener and air dried. Fast forward to today 12/2 I wore it to snow blow as it was also sleeting. By the time I got inside I was soaked right thru to my bra. The whole inside fabric of the jacket was wet & no water was repelling off of the outside. I did a chat & they state that because I didnt put it in the dryer that is why it wasnt waterproof. So I just put it in the dryer as it was saoked & we will see if that works......if not....it's going back.

I purchased this rain coat for a trip and found the liner fabric was very rubbery and when I put the coat on over sweater or polartec it did not slide easily. I have only worn the jacket a few times and the liner has started to fray and peel. I would not recommend this jacket. It is not up to usual LL Bean standards.

I Normally LOVE llbean clothing....this jacket is beautiful, nice quality fabric and well made...HOWEVER I was shocked that the sleeves and armholes were so small relative to the body of the Jacket. A standard XL always fits me, but after reading the reviews I noted comments about the fit running small so I ordered size up to woman's 1X....the sleeves would not have allowed any sweater or thick Top underneath and the armholes were so tight they didn't allow movement, even though body of Jacket was plenty full. Very strange fit. I really need a new rain jacket, so really disappointed. I wonder if its a manufacturering error. Sadly I had to return.

I am very displeased with the changes to this great product. The fit on the new jacket is WAY too small compared to the older, roomy, excellent product. The colors are too muted for me to be seen out walking in rainy, dreary Western Washington. And what's with a "fitted" rain jacket? I want room to put my usual light fleece under the jacket. The zip chest pocket is nice, though. I promptly returned this item and hope you'll bring your previous design back. I have 3 of them and will only use these now. I would have to buy a 3X in this product to have the room I had in the 1X in the past, or even the Large. PLEASE bring back the bright colors and the past sizing, which was more generous and comfortable. Thanks.

I wanted to replace my current Trail Model Rain Jacket as it is several years old and starting to wear. I was disappointed when my new 2X size jacket arrived and it was too snug in the body. I notice that it is a "slightly fitted" styling as opposed to "relaxed fit". It's not for me, sorry to say, and I had to return it. Please consider revamping your fit for this jacket. Thank you.

I expected to have this fit all parts of my body. But sadly, the shoulder and arms are WAYYYYY too tight! I'm returning it for a refund.

I received this as a gift last winter. Brought it on a hike and got completely soaked. The rain went right through the material.

Nobody buys this kind of outerwear to be "fitted". Not trying to be a fashion statement. And the store carry's no non-fitted styles in stock. Who are you marketing to? Tried to replace a LL bean jacket that has worn out.

Bought this literally ONE week ago.. this is the second time I wore it. I'm a college student so all I did was wear my backpack and two hours later it's ripped! Save your money.

Purchased this over a year ago for my daughter. It was used minimally for a year and a half and it now soaks through in the rain!

I received the jacket and it was so wrinkled and creased. It was wrinkled from being shoved in the shipping bag unzipped. The color was not muted but shiny. The sleeves are so long.
