Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Meridian Raincoat

Raincoat had a very poor zipper. It was very tight for a size small.

Love everything about this raincoat especially the gold color. Its so cute on!

I am very happy with the quality, features and fit of this jacket! I have an LL Bean rain jacket but need something longer and a little more fashionable. This is perfect for walking the dog and wearing to work. It is very lightweight so in cold, rainy weather you need to wear a warm layer (sweater, fleece, etc.) underneath. I like that it is lightweight and has vented areas as living in NC it is usually warm & humid when it's raining. I love the Eucalyptus color! Neutral color but not basic. The coat has 2 inside mesh pockets as well as the outer pockets which are a nice feature. I also like the high neck and hood. The drawstring waist cord is a definite loved feature as well! This will really be versatile and keep me dry when walking my dog! For size reference - I am 5'5" and 120 lbs. and have room for bulkier layer to wear underneath. Happy customer!

Perfect fit. I especially like the mid length to properly cover me from the elements. Good quality material as well.

This rain coat is great! Is very stylish and keeps the water out!

I love my new raincoat. My complaints are two: I'm having trouble with the zipper, getting it going and controlling it so that I can pull up from the bottom to open the bottom end of it. Large women such as me usually have larger bulk around the arms. The shoulder/arm/sleeve connections on your coat are too tight. But I loved it enough to keep it even though I will not be able to get a heavy sweater under it.

Stylish and comfortable, light weight, and comes in a wonderful yellow color as well as darker and more conservative hues. I love it.

I had already bought the Cresta Stretch Rain Jacket Women's in the beautiful Cascade Blue. But I wasn't sure about it because how short it is. So, I ordered the Meridian Rain Coat to compare. When I received the Meridian, it did not feel/look at all as it appeared in the photo. That's the difficulty with ordering things online, and not being about to see and feel them before buying. I found the Meridian Rain Coat to be a tad tight in the hips, and the material just felt downright flimsy. I knew I was never going to want to wear it, so back it went. So, I'll stick with the Cresta rain coat, along with my pair of LL Bean Rain Pants. With the LL Bean MasterCard, I appreciate being able to order things and return them without an extra fee.

This rain jacket is so thin and light you can roll it up and pack it. No lining. LOVE the color, wish they had this color in their other outerwear. Tired of black, and blue as choices. Fits perfect

The coat was almost perfect but LLBean has been slimming down hip sizes so I had to return it. Very disappointed.

I love the fitted style. It is great for travel because it folds up easily yet keeps you dry when needed. Getting the zipper started just right is a challenge thus I gave the coat 4 stars.

This is a really solid raincoat that is light, and does the job.

Love everything about it except I wish the hood was bigger. Especially when my hair is up in a bun!

I love the style and weight of this coat, my only negative comment is about the zipper being fussy to get started into sliding up and down.

Great raincoat -only complaint is that the zipper is finicky, which is annoying. I've decided to put up with it for now, but LLBean should look into this - haven't had this difficulty w/ their products before.

I appreciate the long length, two-way zipper, functional hood, and stylish look of the jacket. My one beef is the mesh inside backing on the pockets, which makes them ineffective for keeping hands warm.

I was a little disappointed with this raincoat,I thought I would get more for my money but this raincoat will be fine for summer months.

Great fit and comfort. The fabric is not too noisy, a problem for me with tech gear. Looks good even on my plump figure. Keeps the rain off. The zipper is a bit crude and sticky, but that seems to be a symptom of every brand of coat zipper these days. It works, at any rate. I love it!

I really wish your women's coats had longer sleeves!

I love the coat, but it runs small. I ordered up so that it would be plenty big, but it's just not. I get lots of compliments on it, though.

This is a cute and stylish rain coat, that being said the coat was returned. I have been ordering from LL Bean for 25+ yrs this was the first return. Petite XS is the size I always buy. However I had to return my normal size for a Reg S. I agree with other reviews on the zipper. If the right side of the zipper is not firmly inserted to the very end of the piece at the bottom of the left half, you will have trouble zipping or unzipping the coat.

On the Washington coast you need a good, durable raincoat and this is a great one! My girlfriend loves it and needed one for awhile. Color,style and fit are all fantastic,as well as the material and craftsmanship! Thank you!

I love the fabric, style and fit of the coat. The zipper is sometimes tricky, but if I am very careful in lining it up and leave a little bit of extra time it seems to work fine.
