Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Raincoat

It's very well made but a little narrow across the chest for me 5'4" , 125 pounds , bought medium . I'm hoping to wear a sweater or sweatshirt under it for layering on a trip

Like this raincoat, and I folded it into its pocket when I recently traveled. When I took it out, it was severely wrinkled and still is as I write this. Hope they fall out at some point.

Perfect for Autumn showers and walking my dog! I can wear over a medium-weight denim jacket or sweater. Love the zippered pockets. Although the chest pocket can hold my phone and ID, I wish it was a bit larger to also hold my keys. My rating should really be 4.5; I'm ready for Spring, too!

I've purchased llbean coats before in petite and they fit great. This coat did not seem to be petite in sizing, though it was marked petite. Other than that, coat is nice.

I wanted a rain jacket that was a bit longer, and like this one except for one issue: it goes down to my knees, but there is no pleat to allow movement for larger steps. My legs were being stopped by the bottom of the jacket. Other than that it's a great jacket. I am 5'6" if that might help other purchasers. I sent it back.

The navy blue fabric is nice and the zippered pockets look useful. I ordered the petite medium so I could layer underneath. But the coat was too big overall. The Velcro along the front placket is "grabby" and I did not want to deal with it every time I wore the coat so I returned it.

Reg L was tight in shoulders and middle on me. also had very long sleeves. So petite xl fit much better At 5'4" 168 Zipper a bit tricky to get started and a little crinkly. But not deal breaker. Like the color navy n light weight of it n having a hood Haven't tested in the rain yet. Hope it's breathable as don't want to overheat. I will use this for dressy and outdoor wear. Decent real waterproof coats are hard to find. This was a good price too

Nice light weight raincoat. You need to lift the bottom zip up for walking. The velcro is not strong enough to hold the raincoat closed without the zip. Snaps would have been better.

I like the length and coverage the raincoat offers. I am also impressed with it being a multi weather coat. I have worn it in various temperatures. I would say that it adjusts to different temperatures, excluding winter. I am not so sure how it would be on a hot summer's day. The sleeves were a bit long, but I folded them over at the cuff and it added more style to the coat. The hood is a bit big, but will keep you dry in a downpour. My biggest complaint is with the zipper. It is a task to get it to work smoothly. I have the same issue with the down coat I purchased a few years back. I think LL Bean could do a better job in the zipper department. Overall, I do like it and wished it was offered in more colors. I purchased a small and wondered if I should have gotten an Extra Small. After wearing it, I do like the size, as it affords me the opportunity to layer up underneath, if I choose. I have received compliments on it, and am overall, pleased with my purchase.

Love the length and the lightweight nature of this rain jacket. It did feel a little damp inside after an hour in the rain, but my clothes weren't wet.

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
