Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Raincoat

Lightweight raincoat, keeping me comfortably dry under a thunderstorm. I used it at Orlando parks and was a success.

I bought this rain coat to take with me on a trip to Scotland--a place known for rain! On my travels I had fabulous weather, but on the occasion of undertaking a hike on the Isle of Skye I donned this coat and was well prepared when the heavens open up. It kept my head dry, and the length kept my pants from getting soaked. It also buffeted the winds, keeping me from getting chilled. Additionally, the coat packed flat and took up almost no space in my bag. All in all this purchase exceeded my expectations, and contributed to a fabulous vacation memory.

I thought it was a little heavier than it is, but overall the fit is good. I can wear a sweater underneath.

The jacket is very thin and runs small

Fits great. True to size. Quality workmanship. Love the blue color.

I have this coat in two colors. It's great for layering and traveling. And it's dressy enough if I go to a nicer restaurant or place.

This jacket is nice and light and waterproof - I live in mid-Atlantic climate and it's perfect for spring/fall here. The length is also great. Unfortunately, I agree with others that the zipper is SO finicky - it almost seems like it never lines up. As a busy mom rushing to get out the door, it's so agitating that it takes several tries to get the zipper up. I wish I had heeded the reviews! I wouldn't recommend this coat for that reason - disappointing if LLBean to sell this for $120 with a cheap zipper.

This raincoat is very packable for travel and I found my first one to be a good, lightweight option in rainy, warmer climates. I've owned two of them and bought two as gifts because of those reasons. As others noted, the zipper is difficult to get started on all of them (my husband's included) but doable. They are not entirely waterproof. If worn in a downpour you will get damp through the coat. Also, the lining started to flake and peel away from the outer fabric on my first one after about 3 years and on the second one after a year. It leaves you more likely to get very wet in those spots. I'm sorry to say, I would recommend you look for another raincoat as the quality of this raincoat has deteriorated.

Fits well and looks good, however zipper keeps sticking and hard to get going,

My second purchase of this item. I wore it to Ireland and a few locals wanted to know the brand!

I ordered this raincoat and two other sizes and found the proper size for me and returned the other 2 wrong sizes. I was very pleased in the end with the raincoat I now own.

Perfect lightweight raincoat for Alaskan trip. Ordered a size up, so I could layer underneath as it is fitted. Still looked very stylish. If not layering your normal size would fit perfectly. Love the longer length to keep legs dry. Add a brimmed hat under hood. No umbrella needed!

Perfect for travel for rain and wind and folded up and took up very little space packing

This was exactly what I wanted, which doesn't often happen. Right length, right weight (not a lot), very packable for travel.

After looking at the raincoats for a year now & trying too many "other" brands, I decided to give this one a try. I'm a dog walker/pet sitter so I'm outside 365. I'm in LOVE with this rain coat!! My only complaint is it's thin, so I have to layer which is fine - it's keeping me dry & I love the cinch waist - it makes it look stylish!!

This rain coat was the perfect length (above knees) to keep the rain off. I wore it over a lightweight down LLBean coat (knee length) for protection from rain and wind.

Love this rain coat and so glad it comes in Petite! It is very flattering and adjustable in many ways (sleeve, waist, hood). Lots of pockets and packs very small for travel

Exactly as advertised. Keeps you dry, yet lightweight and breathable.

Feels very Comfortable. True to size. Looks so good!

This is the BEST raincoat I've ever had. It's made of high quality waterproof material which really does keep you dry. I love the style and cut, it fits me perfectly and doesn't make me feel big and puffy. It's so light and comfortable. I love the nice deep zippered pockets and the velcro straps at the wrists to keep the rain out. I find myself wishing it would rain so I could wear it! My weight goes up and down so I did something I can't afford to do, I bought the med which fits me at the moment and the large for when I gain weight. I wanted to make sure I wouldn't miss out on the large. I love this coat so much! I highly recommend it!!

Fit is great and just what I need to take dog out when raining!

I ordered this Rain Coat at the last minute to for a walking trip we were taking in Portugal. I must say LL Bean delivered the coat fast which helped with packing. I got a good bit of use with the coat during our trip, both for rain and wind. I ordered the small which is a bit big, but it is great for wearing a fleece or puffer jacket under when it gets colder. On one of our hiking days we got caught in the rain for about 3 hours and at the end I was dry from my head to my knees! The one problem with this coat are the orbs on the hood, they do not hold, which is a bit of a problem when it is pouring rain:)). Other than that, it is lightweight, packs well and keeps you dry.

Light, slightly fitted great color, long raincoat

This is my second one of these raincoats. I've lost quite a bit of weight and needed to get a smaller size and I was so happy that they still had this coat! Its predecessor has kept me dry for several years and also packs well. I am 5'10" and usually wear a 14. I bought the large in this raincoat and it fits with room to wear a coat underneath, if needed, and comes down to just above my knees.

The coat is as advertised. If fits well and most importantly it is lightweight for travel & warmer weather use.
