Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Cresta Stretch Rain Jacket

The fabric feels good. Rain fabrics can be scratch...but not this one. Bought the large because the shoulders tend to be a little tight when wearing a medium over a fleece. Also love the cascade blue color. Haven't worn in a downpour yet so hoping it will keep me dry.

This is a great lightweight jacket. I bought the petite small, light grey. I'm very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it.

I absolutely love this jacket! So many extra and thoughtful features are incorporated into it! I ordered up a size so I could layer underneath. It is perfect! I could not be happier with my purchase! The Burnt Orange is such a fabulous color!

Fits over a layer or two, light, wind proof and rain too. Nice shape and color. I like it!

I really like this jacket. I haven't worn it yet but I'm sure it will be a great rain jacket or just a light walking jacket. The color is great and it has an inner zippered pocket which I like. The only negative is that the sleeves are too long but I can deal with that. I'm wondering if I should of ordered a petite small. I'm unsure if the sleeves would be shorter or just the length. Another well made LL Bean purchase.

The rain jacket I had used was old and so ineffective that it was no help whatsoever. I needed a new one, a good one which I could depend on and wear when I walk the dog. I am petite and have arms that are a bit shorter than most petites, but the way I can tighten the cuffs with Velcro works well. I love the rust color, I love all the little extra details, even the hidden inside pocket. This is a beautifully, let me emphasize beautifully, executed jacket that fits as if it were made especially for me. Today it will rain and I will wear this jacket over a warm outfit and I feel confident that it will keep me dry. The hood fits well too. So, thank you for another great product.

I've been looking at this coat for sometime but as much as I liked it, I just thought it was a lot of money for a rain jacket. The light blue really struck me -- all my jackets and coats are neutral colors. I decided to order it. I was almost hoping I wouldn't like it so much because of the price -- but I loved it and will no way return it! Its a beautiful fit and also a really nice spring jacket, as well as a rain jacket. I felt it was kind of a luxury buying it -- but it is really a well make jacket and I know I will have it years to come because all the clothes I've bought from LL Bean have lasted a long time. .

I needed a coat for cooler Fall and Spring days in New York, where I could wear layers or not underneath. This jacket fit the bill for me.

I had another rain jacket from your store but it no longer fits (too big). I like the quality that i get from your products.

Love this jacket! Love the stretch to it, fits well. Silver moon is a great color. Sleeves are on the longer side, which works for me. Zippered pockets are a must. The material of the coat has a nice feel to it and isn't noisy. Definitely keeps me dry, doesn't soaked through. I wished that there was a longer version, to keep my thighs dry too. Crossing my fingers....Maybe they will make it soon!

I've needed a raincoat for a long time. This one is comfortable and beautiful. I ordered a size up because I like a little extra room to allow for clothes underneath. One of the best things I ever ordered from LLBean, next to their slippers. When I saw this coat in an ad the first thing I said was 'ooh, that's pretty". Love the ice blue color and it's lower hip length which I like.

This jacket is great! It's comfortable, breathable, lovely color (I got the burnt orange), has plenty of pockets, and adjustable sleeves at the wrist. Definitely worth it!

I really like this jacket - the fit is great - roomy enough for a sweater underneath and the cuffs have velcro so they can be tightened on the wrist to the desired fit. The "ice blue" color is lovely, cheerful even, when it seems I usually end up with navy or black by default.

Very nice and good fit, but the arms are too long.

I love how lightweight this jacket is! The waterproofing and ability to tighten the hood are also very good. The one thing I don't like is that the only place this jacket is 'fitted' is around the hips. I bought the jacket to be slightly roomy so I could wear a lightweight layer underneath it. It's way too tight in the hips if I'm wearing a light jacket or light sweater or sweatshirt under the coat. There's no way I can sit down when the coat is this tight in the hips. Disappointed but I'm not going to return it because I needed a new raincoat.

comfortable, airy, well-cut;adequately waterproof

Love this rain jacket! Perfect fit for me - The fabric is very nice, sleek, low wrinkle - love the stylish look which is more fitted than other jackets and very flattering

I wanted a lightweight waterproof jacket. I tried on all the jackets in store and all the others were too tight on my chest but this one in size large fit very well. I like the pretty green color, I can wear it over work clothes or hiking. It still got kind of hot and sweaty under the jacket when I wore it in warm weather rain, but with a flannel underneath I think it will be perfect. There's enough room for me to layer sweaters underneath too. I'm 5'6", 165 lbs with a 'D' bust.

good fit great color for warm weather oddly when rain drops hit the fabric, the fabric puckers up. once dry, the fabric flattens back down.

Great jacket but wish you still offered a roll up hood.

Hi I really love this jacket for warmer weather. The BIG critique is that it needs to have non mesh pockets! I need to know I can put my keys (or anything sharper than kleenex in the pocket without the pockets ripping! Thanks!

Decent rain coat. But lacks basis features. Zipper is only one way, so when you sit it gets tight. Hood does not come off, or roll up. A second inside zipper pocket would be nice. For the price you would think these features would be included.

I really like the fit and color. I haven't put its rain repellency to the test yet. The pit zips are too low. They can almost be mistaken for another set of pockets! Why so low LLBean? I purchased a petite medium. I am 5'2" and weigh 130-135. This size fits really well, and there's room for a fleece or vest underneath. Velcro is only used for wrist adjustments. I like that! I do not like the use of lots of velcro on clothing.

I really like this rain jacket - it's comfortable and attractive and fits well. The only negative is that it doesn't have a two-way zipper which I would expect at the price of the jacket.

It was a bit narrow in the hips for me and a bir heavyfi
