Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Trail Model Raincoat

Like the other two coats I ordered,I found these to be too straight and not contoured to fit a woman's shape. Hard to sit down,etc.

The sleeves are too long, if you need a large size but you are not a tall person.

I have mixed feelings about my rain coat so far. The zipper is not easy to use, hard to get it set correctly in the 2 way zipper. I do like the fact it comes to my knees , but I haven't found a way to tighten the hood and it will blow off in the wind. Haven't had it on in a soaking rain yet so I don't know how waterproof it is.

I had a problem with the zipper and just returned it.

Light weight and probably good for packing light, but a little frumpy looking and very thin; sent back and bought a competitors coat with a more feminine cut.

It will do for spring, summer rain. I like the fabric but not the cut of the coat. XL will only accommodate a sweatshirt under it. About 20 years ago I bought rn71341/un02322 (same fabric) from LLBean. Because of the cut I could wear a 3/4 length down coat under it with room to spare. It lasted 20 years, I loved it! Please bring back the old cut.

This is a good coverage raincoat. It's the same design as the one I purchased 10 years ago, but it has less insulation. Fabric has good water repellancy. I can fit a winter jacket under it which is what I want. It is a good raincoat. But I am disappointed that it is flimsier than the old design.

Didn't fit was returned. Waiting for refund color was great, zippers worked just didn't fit right

Ordered a 1X but it was too small in the shoulders, returned and exchanged for a 2X and shoulders are still tighter than preferred.

I like that this jacket is very lightweight and I like the length. However, it doesn't keep me dry in anything more than a light drizzle. I have sprayed it with Camp Dry waterproofing spray, which has worked on other jackets, so I am looking forward to seeing if that helps. I would have expected better from an LL Bean item. Other reviewers had said that it ran small, so I ordered the next size up, so it does fit.

Undecided on this rain coat .length is ok. Cut is not. I like a fuller cut. Not fitted. Dislike velcro.. no room to add a layer underneath. Will probably return.

This jacket has lots of promise, however it seemed to be made in a "straight cut" making it too tight around the hips, and impossible to sit in while zipped. This is a "women's" item folks, come on! The sleeves were already long, so I did not choose to order a Large.

Very disappointed that the LLBean LOGO is so prominently displayed. The coat is nice but the advertising is a real turn-off. Also not sure how waterproof the coat really is. Worked fine in a light rain but fabric was saturated.

I needed to replace my H2Off raincoat I've had for 10 years, and since LL Bean does not offer the mesh lined version in plus sizes I ordered this one. I tried the regular size XL in the store and while it fit I wanted a little extra room for layering. So I ordered the plus size 1X online. It fits exactly like the XL!!!!!!! And the arms in the 1X may even be a bit more snug than the XL. I wish I had looked at the size charts prior to ordering because according to the charts the XL and 1X are basically the same size. How can that be? I don't think it's unreasonable to assume if the XL doesn't fit the next size up should be 1X. I now ordered the 2X and hope it works. Because I think this will be a perfect raincoat for me.

This was to replace my Trail Model Raincoat from a few years ago; the changes to the style are not pluses. Those of us over 50 don't need a "waist" added to what was a very comfortable coat. The bit of elastic in the sleeve (cuff) is no more so cinching the velcro makes a big gap --- not attractive. The hood on my old one disintegrated and is held together with clear packing tape. Still a much better coat than the new design -- has same kind of hood (that didn't change!) so I will be returning. I wanted to like it, but don't.

Bought this jacket from LLBean 3 years ago. Zipper was very difficult to zip up and finally failed. I like the length but not the quality.

I returned the rain coat because the upper arm area of the sleeves on the coat were smaller than the cuff of the sleeves.

The zipper is so hard to make work! Don't have the patience. Shouldn't have to have the patience! So sorry that zipper is the only reason I am returning.

I don't like the feel of the material. The fit is small for size. I'm disappointed and don't really know what I'm going to do about it right now.

Can't really specify. Just uncomfortable. Doesn't fit right. Have other LL Bean jacket, coats--no problem. This one didn't come up to the LL Bean standard I've come to expect.

They changed the original trail model rain coat that did NOT have a cinched waist. It was swingy, very cute and was easy to wear a lightweight fleece jacket beneath it for travel. This one makes it hard to wear thicker layers under it as then the waist looks tight.

I have not had the chance to verify how waterproof the raincoat performs. I will contact you if it is not waterproof. But I was surprised, the quality of the raincoat does not justify the high price. I normally order petite. But I ordered a medium regular. The coat has a fitted cut. So you need to verify the size. I have purchased from LL Bean in the past and never had issue with quality or pricing. So jury is still out. The reason for 2 stars is the price and quality.

Mixed opinion Third time I bought the rain jacket over the years. This time the size is not the same and will have to wait four months before the next size available . Also the inside peals off but I still like the jacket.

I returned the XXL because the sleeves were significantly too tight on this one. This was not the case with a similar LL Bean raincoat purchased previously.

It's not waterproof! I ordered this for an upcoming vacation where I expected to have rainy days. I tried it for about 3 mins. in a light rain outside my house & my arms got wet.
