Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Raincoat

I bought this to take to Brittany and was glad I did. I wore it over a cable sweater many days. Fit well. Good length. Packed small. Was a little sweaty inside when worn without long sleeves underneath.

I love the rain coat. its very comfortable. I like having a longer coat to keep my legs dry. also I like that it zips both ways, being a longer coat that is very handy. With all the rain that we have been having I am extremely glad I have purchased this coat.

I bought this in a petite medium to fit over an ultralight down coat which is thigh length ( also from LLBean). It is the perfect length...fits right at the knees and completely covers the coat.. I have not worn it yet...plan to use it mostly when I travel overseas. But I like the style, the color (blue..which is almost same color as coat), and that it has zippered pockets. Pockets are a bit low but other than that I think it is going to be perfect especially if you want to travel light... and you can just throw it in a backpack.Oh, has two way zipper. Velcro does not seem to bother clothing...like a scarf you might be wearing.

While I have not tested this raincoat in the rain, I really like how lightweight it is and how small it can be folded up. I want it especially for football games where it may have to go over a heavy coat and buying one size larger allows that to happen. I already own the LL Bean rain pants and they are truly waterproof.

I purchased the small petite. It fits perfectly. I love the coat, I find it very stylish as well as protective.

Fits great, keeps you dry, packs easily. It comes close to the knee so has decent coverage but last model was just a little longer and protected clothing better. Though it "stows away" in its own pocket, I've folded it to avoid being scrunched up when I am ready to use it. Easy to roll it and pack in carry-on bag so it's always handy.

This coat is perfect for light rains and travel. It is roomy enough to wear with a light sweater under. I like that it can fit into a zip pocket, although I had to call to learn how to do that since there were no instructions in the package. I wish this came in more color choices.

It fits perfect. You can even gather in waist if needed.

We are traveling to Europe soon and I wanted a lightweight rain coat to pack. I purchased a Petite S and find it to be very roomy on my frame. I wanted a roomy coat because I have a fleece that I will wear under it if its cool. I'm in my mid 50s, but personally like the drawstring waist because I don't like a boxy look on my small frame. The coat is almost knee length on me.

Because I'm a rather harsh critic of raincoats, 4 stars may not be fair. This would likely be a 5-star coat for most people. It's very well made, fits well, is light weight, and keeps me dry...for awhile. The problem is that, unlike most people, I stay out in the rain for long periods of time, feeding and caring for horses. I find that any "waterproof" coat will "wet out" or leak at the seams. Depending on the amount of precipitation, I will need to go back inside, hang it up, and replace it with a dry coat for my next trip outside. Polyurethane coatings are the most waterproof (and they don't use toxic teflon), but they are quite heavy and don't breathe well. So for the first trip outside, this coat has been my first choice.

Good coat. Love the length. Let's you sit on a wet seat when watching a game. However, I WISH IT CAME IN RED or yellow. I don't like wearing dark raincoats when walking dogs or on the street. Visibility is low and bright colors are safer and better looking on dark overcast, rainy days.

I just wore the lightweight long raincoat through Wooly weather 3 weeks in Scotland. .With many layers underneath, the inside would be damp but I think it's mostly from not having pitzips or any other Ventilation besides the front zipper. The length to the knees was what I wanted and worked well. Ideally, I had been in search a fully waterproof knee length lightweight packable jacket With pitzips. No such product in under $200 range.

This is a terrific coat. Only 2 concerns: 1). It's hard to get the zipper pull in place, and 2). The hood falls over my eyes. The hood would benefit from one of those buckle devices that allows hoods to be adjusted to avoid this problem. The coat is otherwise very well made, true to size and quite waterproof. Perfect light weight.

I wear a size 12 and bought this raincoat in a size L. Planning to pack it for a European trip and wanted a longer style with a hood. The style met my needs but I find the coat a little too snug - wish it had a little more room to fit over a sweater.

A nice long adequate raincoat. At a reasonable price. Not sure how breathable it will be but I bought it for dog walks and traveling, not hiking

Quality construction, plus very lightweight. I especially like the small zip pocket on the left breast (great for keys). All other pockets zip close as I prefer. Suggest adding reflective tape and more colors.

Fine coat, I followed the advice of other reviewers and sized up and it was HUGE. I am 5'2" 160lbs and the large and xl were too big. I didn't try the medium.

Enjoy the long length and appreciate the Velcro option for front closure because the zipper is a little difficult to zip. Wish it came in more colors but overall very happy with the design.

The rain coat is great quality. It's made well and looks good. I know I will get a lot of use from it and it will be as good as advertised. I know I can trust L.L. Bean products to be the best.

Replaces ny favorite LLBean raincoat . Not quite as fabulous as the one I bought 10 (15?) years ago as the fabric has completely changed I also have not worn it in a deluge, but hope it is as good as the original.

So far, so good. I wore it in a downpour and it kept me dry, which is exactly what I wanted. I consider a rain jacket practically useless when it's raining hard, and it's hard to find a knee-length coat like this, so I'm happy LL Bean offers it. The only reason I gave it four stars is that there's no color selectionjust black and navy. A warmer-weather raincoat should come in some nicer colors.

It is a lovely raincoat but to expensive for my pocketbook.

I bought this to replace a similar raincoat I have had for many years, which was a large. I called and asked about the measurement at the hips and was given a number that was the same as my old model. Unfortunately, when it arrived and I tried it on it fits very snuggly in the hips. I have since bought this same raincoat in an XL to have more ease in the hips My hips measure 43".

Worn in very serious rain conditions. Amazing. Kept me dry. Comfortable. Flattering. Light weight. I put my own Puffer shell for warmth. Love this jacket keeping it. However, the inside lining on my bare skin feels like you are just rubbing up against a tent the whole time. Don't like the feeling of that at all. I will see if I get used to it in the summer. Wish I didn't have to though.

Fit and design are perfect. Love the length. I wear them with knee boots. The pair are perfect for the windy rainy days. The length eeps my legs from getting soaked..
