Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Meridian Raincoat

I bought PL and it was wearable but too "slightly fitted". I exchanged for PXL to be able to wear over a sweater or my Packaway Jacket and extend it's use for cooler temps, this one fits me perfectly with or without another layer. Kept me dry in a heavy rainstorm. Really like that the LLB logo is understated and on a tag sewn to the bottom hem, more appropriate when I want to wear to a funeral or restaurant.

Fit nicely over heavy sweater, but also over tee shirt. But the adjustment is outside and stiff, unlike an older system of inside and supple, made me look sort of skewered. Likely won't adjust in future. Good work in rain sprinkle, haven't worn it in a downpour yet. Breathes nicely, overheating not a problem. Double zipper allows driving comfort.

I loved , loved this raincoat, unfortunately I have to return it if you have the same coat in xtra large. have not done this yet.

Was given as a birthday gift so I am unable to give it a complete review.

Long lasting style

Light weight and cut to fully cover, this coat looks great with slim jeans. It rolls up tight for efficient travel bag. I love the color! A must have...

I bought mine pre-pandemic for a trip to Spain. It was fantastic from Day 1. It is loose enough to wear with a bean vest but not so roomy that it looks baggy when worn without another layer. The hood, drawstring and sleeve closures allow for a lot of flexibility. Zippers are smooth. Works as a real raincoat as well as a lightweight 3/4 jacket. Folds up well for travel. I am so glad this is still available.

Purchased 2 of these raincoats - took the second one to Florida, since the raincoat is very lightweight. Perfect for warmer weather. Various adjustments, on the wrist and waist, make this coat fit anyone's body type

Tested this walking the dog in rain and it works wonderfully! Generous enough cut to allow for warm layers in fall and light enough to wear in spring rain as well.

Light with modern cut, looks great on!

This raincoat was exactly what I was looking to find! I wanted a cute, very light-weight raincoat that could keep me dry from head to toe and I was not disappointed. I absolutely love it! When ordering, I was unsure of the size, as someone who was 40 pounds heavier also ordered a small and stated that it fit her. The small fits me perfectly with room for a sweater and is a great length in the arms as well, since mine are long.

Love it. Looks nice on and is very comfortable and the fit is perfect. Thanks for the great product.

I was a bit skeptical from the reviews but overall this has become my go-to spring jacket. Definitely waterproof (torrential downpour tested) and I have not had any issues with the zipper. Even though it's an athletic/outdoorsy jacket I still feel it is cute & appropriate for rainy days in the city or to wear to work when needed. Definitely recommend. I'm 5'8 about 145-155 pounds (I don't weigh myself often so honestly not sure) and my frame is athletic. Size small fit perfectly even with large sweatshirts and layers underneath. I only wish there were small pockets on the inside as well but the large front ones will do!

I purchased xl to have room to layer. It fits perfect and room to wear light weight sweater under it. It is also good for when a layer isn't needed. I love it glad i purchased it!!

At first, I wasn't sure whether or not I liked the way it looked on me, but after looking at it again, I decided that I actually LOVE it. The color, eucalyptus, is very pretty and neutral. The sleeves are just the right length and so is the overall length of the coat. I had no trouble with the zipper as some reviewers have mentioned, but perhaps it's just that each coat is made a little differently. The lightweight fabric make it perfect for travel as well as walking in town. The two zippered pockets on the outside and the two inner pockets are very well-placed and roomy enough to carry whatever I need. The cape and the adjustable waist are very stylish and flattering!! Glad I ordered this coat and glad I decided to keep it!!!!!!!

I bought a size larger so it would fit over other jackets. I love the color and it is very comfortable, nothing poking me and the hood is the right size.

I didn't expect it to look so stylish and I was really happy when it fit over my ll bean down coat since its been a cold and rainy winter here in MA. However this coat does not look too big if I wear it on its own. Glad that I went for this style as it is very figure flattering.

I purchased this rain jacket because I was looking for something that would pack easily, be lightweight for warmer temperatures but also work well with layers for cooler weather and provide more coverage than a hip length jacket. I give it an A+ in all areas! I wore this in rainy, cool Amsterdam and in torrential, hot rain in Tuscany. I couldn't have asked for a better jacket. Other reviewers have had issues with the zipper. As long as I pulled the jacket straight will zipping the bottom is was perfectly fine. I'll be wearing this coat for a long time.

I ordered a size up because the description said this is slightly fitted. This will allow more flexibility with layering, and the waist is adjustable. I am very happy with the fit and style of this jacket.

Great fit, light weight and folds very small to easily fit in my purse, and kept me dry during a torrential rain storm, plus very attractive.

Bought this jacket for a 10 day trip through Scotland. It was the perfect jacket for this trip. It is lightweight, packs easily, and completely waterproof. The longer length kept me dry throughout the misty and rainy Scottish weather. I especially appreciated the 2 way zipper and the deep pockets. I will continue to wear it stateside as it is good looking and great weather protection.

I bought this coat for two week trip to Spain that took place in March. I needed something longer that I could use as a top layer. I used it with a fleece vest or pullover (and someitimes both) Perfect fit but I wasn't sure about the zipper as other reviewers commented on this. It worked really well as long as I paid attention when I started to zip. The quality is wonderful. All the seams are sealed and the various drawstrings are very sturdy and stay in place. What was really a bonus was that it could be easily folded up and put in a day pack as the day got warmer or the rain subsided. It was there when I needed it without creating noticeable extra weight or bulk. I have already recommended it to friends.

I love this light, long raincoat. It does run a bit small. As other reviewers said the zipper could work more smoothly, but it isn't a problem for me. The zippered pockets are nice and deep, and the sleeves are plenty long for my 5'9" frame.

Purchased this coat to replace a very old LL Bean raincoat with failing seams. Normally wear a petite small, but it felt a bit skimpy. Exchanged for a petite medium and I love it -- roomy enough for a shirt and warm sweater if necessary. The Eucalyptus color and style are very attractive and practical.

I was hoping this had a bit more weight to it to wear in cooler temps. Otherwise, it does what it's supposed to do - keeps me dry.
