Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Rain Jacket

Not waterproof as it says. Disappointed as it's a lot of money. Otherwise is a good fit. And well made. I don't like the Velcro as it all sticks to itself.

Very nice jacket and great fit. However it is NOT waterproof. I'm wetter than a fish. Total waste of good money. I'm very disappointed.

I purchased this new style rain jacket but will probably return. It's too fitted. My old trail model rain jacket traditional fit is a regular medium and I have plenty of room for a sweatshirt or my down sweater jacket underneath. A regular medium of the new version is too fitted to put any extra layers underneath. I don't want to feel squeezed into my rain gear. I had to go to a petite large to have room for an extra layer. In the larger size the bottom bells out. I know I can adjust it with the bottom tabs but I don't feel I should have to do that. My suggestion would be to either offer the rain jacket in both traditional and slightly fitted or go back to only traditional fit. I'm sure the fitted style is great for some people but as a 70 year old outdoor adventure person, I prefer to have room to move in my gear.

I purchased this to replace my previous LL Bean rain jacket which has the lining peeling away but has lasted for years. I saw this one was fitted, but figured it would be slimmer through the torso which was ok since my current jacket is roomy. I could barely squeeze my arms in the sleeves, however it zipped just fine around my hips. The arms are disportionately out of size with the rest of the jacket. I loved my other jacket and it has traveled with me through 6 different countries. LL Bean please work on your sizing.

I wanted to like this jacket. It's perfect for those spring shower days. However, the jacket is VERY slim fit. If you're an athlete, don't even bother.
