Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Raincoat

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.

I originally ordered this raincoat in size Small Reg. (nautical blue). I reviewed it upon arrival, saying it would have to be exchanged for a size Med. Reg. due to the too-tight fitting across the hips. In all other respects it was satisfactory. The size Med fits better, but there is still a slight issue with the hip width. I think, as another reviewer noted a while back, that the cut is too straight, without enough allowance for proportional lower body width. I will keep the exchange, but for that reason alone, cannot give it a 5-star rating. (Someone with narrow hips might not have any problem, though. I'm 5'7 and 130 lbs.)

Excellent raincoat! This coat had everything I was looking for: extremely lightweight and packable, excellent coverage, and rainproof. The only reason it didn't work for me was the white interior. I needed something that would be a neutral, classy travel coat and the white interior was not my style.

Fit was as expected. Need a lighter raincoat that works for walks in the rain in milder weather. I would love it if the cut were not as straight and was more a-line to make make it more roomy for my hips. But it did fit. Seems like it should be easy to fold up into its pocket. Haven't tried this yet.

I loved the fit and features, wish it came in other colors, wish there were instructions for the "packs in a pocket". I wish the side pockets were stitched at the bottom inside the coat as they could be inside pockets too. The hood does fall past your eyes. It is very lightweight. For that reason alone, I think the price is a bit spendy. I think $75 would be a fair pricepoint. Otherwise, I love it... can't wait to wear it in Scotland.

Nice long trench style, but unfortunately the hood falls clear over your eyes. Velcro, toggles, lots of adjustables. True to size, and perhaps a tad bit forgiving.

works well wish it was designed with side zips for more practicality when sitting and bending over

I really like this raincoat: color, length, adjustable hood. I did size up to give room for a sweater underneath. I would suggest getting rid of the lowest Velcro closure, because if you use the two-way zipper to allow for a longer stride, the Velcro winds up fastening on its own, defeating the purpose of the adjustable zipper. Problem solved by covering one side with a scrap of Velcro, easily removed if fastening becomes important.

Well made. A little snug through the hips. Like the long length. Haven't worn in rain yet.

Looks great. Going to Italy in Sep and needed something light and packable---as well as bottom covering. This should do the trick!

Being a lightweight rain coat - which was what I desired, I went way up in size to be able to now wear heavier tops underneath if I chose , but I want something to wear on the warmer rainy days of Spring to come. This was just what I needed in that you won't sweat to death as you do in most rain wear and we are predicted to have a wetter than normal Spring. Had I ordered my normal size of large, I would have been returning it . This runs very small. I also have an issue with the color choices. Blah , come on ! Spring colors, please in this length !!!!!!

I loved my previous same coat , but after many years of use it finally started cracking ! So I'm sure I'll love my new one! I like this one because of cinching ! Haven't used it much yet ! It is so perfect for the warm weather and surely keeps you so dry! It's seems to fit well ! I could have gotten smaller size ! The hood is pretty large

Love it! Light and comfy. First time I wore it,it poured. Kept me completely dry.

I got one of these in 2007, and it wore really well, till eventually the coating at the neck line started to peel off. Time to replace, and when I ordered the same size (L) this time it was too small! XL now fits the same as L did previously. Love the length, keeps water off your trousers in the rain. Lightweight; could use a couple of internal pockets for travel, so I added those myself.

I purchased this raincoat to replace a similar LLBEAN raincoat that I've enjoyed for 10 years. Both are size Medium. I like the new zipper breast pocket and the drawstring waist adjustment. However this new raincoat appears to be cut slightly slimmer than my old one; consequently it's snug when worn over several winter layers. For wearing over fleece and down layers I'd recommend purchasing one size larger than usual. I don't know how that would affect sleeve length, but with velcro at the cuff it shouldn't be an issue. Worn over usual clothes it fits fine and silhouette looks trim. i expect to enjoy it for many years.

I was hoping to replace my old LL Bean coat that I wear year- round. It's great protection from the wind and great for layering in the winter. The only problem with this one is that it barely covered my knees and I would've liked a little more room at the bottom for hiking
