Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

Garment arrived in a Bean plastic bag. It was crumpled up in that bag, not folded in new-garment packaging. When I called LLB to question this, the response was that what I ordered was unavailable in the warehouse but was located in a store and pulled from a hanger. Whoopee! How many times was it tried on? By whom? How often did it land on the floor? UNACCEPTABLE from LLB, especially for an expensive item. Then I decided to try it on. I requested XL since I usually layer. This garment was about the size of any other company's Size 12! Needless to say I simply requested a refund. Years ago ordered many items from LLB. Still have and wear some of them. Never again!

It's never protected me from more than a light mist. This is what it looks like after a sprinkle:

The arm were to small for my arms to fit so I had to return this jacket.

This jacket is an absolute joke if you get caught in anything heavier than a light sprinkle you are soaked. For $99. I can't believe this.

I returned it as it was not roomy enough through the hips. Not all of us are slim hipped, and I'm one of them. I would be lovely if you took that into consideration with some of your jackets as so far none I have tried have enough hip room.

The jacket is a windbreaker good for 70 degree days. It is not warm at all.

Purchased for my mother-in-law. The outer fabric and lining are very plastic-like. It feels like a rain poncho. Not worth the price. Fits true to size.

Zipper came apart on first time zipped. Repeat attempts did the same thing. Also arms too tight and jacket overall too small for 2x size, which is my usual. Returned

I usually love the things I purchase from LL Bean; however this jacket is an exception. It is tight in the hips and did not keep the rain out. Returning

I love LLBean clothing. This raincoat is too tight on the hips and the arms were over 4 inches too long. Very disappointed!!

The zipper does not unzip from the bottom, can not layer.

I love this rain jacket! I live in the NW so it's essential I have a warm rain proof jacket.

I purchased this jacked 4 months after buying the same style for half the price from the outlet (in 2019). Here we are 4 years later and the outlet jacket is still the BEST rain jacket. This full price one from the store is immediately wet on the inside after the first drizzle of rain. Nothing has peeled off, it looks brand new, just isn't repellant in any way. Why did I wait so long to review? Well, two months after giving this as a Christmas gift my father unexpectedly suffered a horrible death, and 3 days after his burial our state shut down due to a global pandemic. To say I was preoccupied during the one year guarantee timeline would be an understatement. While checking something else I came across this past order and noticed the many other similar reviews so I thought I would add mine in as well.

How about some tall outerwear? Regular sizes just don't cut it. Too short, too short, too short. Fleece zip-ups don't count as outerwear in upstate NY.

I purchased this jacket as a raincoat. All of the neck waterproofing peeled off, hence got soaked on my shoulders, and as a previous consumer noted, your arms get wet and sticky from the waterproofing.

This is the third jacket this has happened to. It's peeled all around the neck and shoulders!! I'm not even going to bother to see if they can replace it.

At first hint of rain, jacket feels wet inside. At first, I thought it just felt wet because it was a cold rain but after 10 minutes of light rain, the rain seeped through and it wad definitely wet inside.

Fit and style is great but this is more of a wind breaker than anything else. Perhaps water resistant for a very short period of time but definitely not waterproof by any means whatsoever. You will be soaked completely through in just a few minutes in moderate rainfall.

Sleeves were waaaaaaay too long. Fabric so thin it was wrinkly and sloppy-lookingeven after I tried ironing it. I sent it back. I'm disappointed with L.L. Bean. I had to send a cable knit sweater back 4 times because every one had multiple pulls in them in the front next to the zippers.

I returned this. It is made of very thin material that I feel could easily rip. Did not like!!

This jacket is basically, just a windbreaker. Complaints: 1) Like many Bean jackets the zipper is a trial to zip 2) This jacket is not one to throw over a tee. It's COLD! You definitely will need at least a long sleeve tee with this. And the worst is yet to come. 3) It is far from rain resistant. Like miles far. Soaked after being outside maybe 10 minutes. Soaked through to the skin.

Arms too narrow. And I ordered up a size men's regular fits better than women's plus.

Low quality material and style. NOT AT ALL what LL Bean has previously been known for.

Sea foam. 35 degrees out with fleece jacket underneath.

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.
