Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Raincoat

I so wanted this coat to fit: great color; great fabric; wonderful (and usefu) style. Sadly, I needed to send it back. It was way too narrow for my hips.

Fit a bit snug across back of shoulders. Disappointing as I've had this same raincoat and size for the past 10 years but old cost is worn thin.

I have been searching for a knee length raincoat for some time that was simple and functional without unnecessary and often (in my opinion) unattractive design additions that added nothing to the coat's function. Finally LLB came out with this model that meets that standard. It has a hood and several convenient pockets. I had hoped for more color options that would make me more visible in the rain, but had to settle for navy blue. Rather than buy a small which fit well, I chose a medium, allowing me to add layers underneath when rainy days wareere chilly and omit them on warmer days. Hopefully it will last as long as the one it replaced, another LLB coat, purchased so long ago I can't even remember when.

Practical, lightweight raincoat; perfect for rainy days

Nice Jacket but the shoulders were too tight. We had to return.

This is my second one. I used my first for years until it was completely worn out. I love to layer it when the temperature is colder and it is breathable when temperatures are warm.

Nice raincoat, great in we weather, I stayed dry all day. Wish it had snaps instead of Velcro, which grabs on everything

This jacket is really nice and cover A LOT! It is thinnner than I expected.

Great length, good fit. The zipper sticks a bit near the bottom, but hopefully it will get smoother w some use.

A very handy lightweight rain coat. Had one for 15 years. Had to finally replace. Good coverage, and not bad looking!!

The jacket is exactly what I need for Florida storms. The only minus is the zipper, which could be done better. It will be difficult to zip in a downpour. However, the length is great covering as much of the body as possible. It is not insulated so probably good for 50-60 degrees (with sweater) and above. I bought Medium (136 lbs) and it's a super fit with room.

It was nice and long, and waterproof. It kept me dry in Ireland's heavy rains. But the velcro strips on the zipper panel caught on gloves, scarves, and sweaters. I will remove the strips before the next use. Also, the color would be more vibrant - on dreary rainy days (when it was used), a brighter color would have added some cheer.

The material and length are great. However, the design is odd. The inner cord to tighten the fit cinches close to the waist, not under the chest, where most jackets have it. So the top balloons out a little.

Looks good and keeps me dry. Zip is difficult because the inner part of the fabric gets caught in the zipper

Raincoat fits well..zipper is a bit trickygood length

Like the zip pockets and it is waterproof! Just wish it had one big pocket. Also a 2way zip

Great, just didn't fit me well. The quality of the coat was amazing and I liked the long length. The blue color was amazing too.

I had exchanged my original rain coat due to the lining peeling and noticed that the style of the raincoat had changed. I much preferred the more relaxed style that had more room for adding an extra layer underneath for chilly days than the new style that is more fitted with less room. I found the original style to be more functional, was disappointed that the style changed.

Great fit but... the arms are much too long. A bigger size doesn't equal longer arms..

This raincoat is a great length and has a double zipper so you unzip the bottom third to give yourself room to walk or climb. I don't like dark colors and there's no reflective tape, so I took off a star for that. But it fits true to size, is comfortable, and not too warm. It would be nice for the website to have a video showing how to pack it into one of the pockets.

Great basic piece no issues. Underarm vents would be the 5th star.

Seems fine so far tho not as sturdy as my old one. I like the length. Haven't worn in a hard rai. So hope it is waterproof enough.

It's a sturdy coat, just more functional than it is dressy. The last LL Bean raincoats I bought had a round-shaped hood. The hood on this coat is more macho! I love the quality of L.L.Bean, I'm just a little disappointed that this coat is pretty sporty and not like their other more classic raincoats.

Nice jacket, but just a little too long for me. Would have been ok if the length met the bottom of my thigh. May be perfect for a taller person, I'm 5.5.

It's a great raincoat, just not proportioned well for short people. The material is nice and it is well-made.
