Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Cresta Stretch Rain Jacket

My wife literally won't take this off, quickly became her favorite jacket.

This rain jacket hits all the right buttons, great fit, features, fabric feel, and great colors! It has performed so well over the last month keeping me warm and dry. (February/March in Colorado). It still hasn't been tested in a heavy downpour yet. So far it has been my go to jacket and I really love it !

I just returned from a trip to AZ and took my new jacket with me. The nights are cool there now and the lightweight jacket was perfect. When I returned to CT, it was raining and the jacket kept me dry.

I was pleasantly surprised with this jacket. I live in Hawaii, so the mornings can be cool and misty. This jacket protects from the moisture and is just enough to keep me comfortable.

My wife loves the raincoat. Fit and fitness excellent. Very comfortable.

I got it as a cheaper alternative for a snowboarding jacket. It works great. The size was perfect. I'm 5'8 and 133 lbs. I got a S.

Love the color and the light, foldable fabric. All of its zippered pockets and the zippers under the arms are a great addition to it. It's really well made.

After reviewing and looking at many jackets, I settled on the Cresta jacket. I wanted a waterproof, breathable, windproof jacket. I haven't tested it fully yet, but I'm impressed so far. The biggest thing is that it fits! I am busty and have a very difficult time getting things to fit. I normally wear a size M but ordered a L because I want the jacket for travel and I want to be able to wear a layer under it. It's perfect. The sleeves are a little long but the velcro on the sleeves solves that issue and the overall length of the jacket is great. I'm 5'4 and 155 lbs and it covers my backside which is a plus. The only improvements I can suggest would be a two way zipper as well as inner pockets. There is an inner chest pocket but I can't imagine using it because of its location.

A few years ago I got the light blue color, for spring and summer. I bought the sea green color for fall and winter this time. The jacket works great over winter sweaters. And the hood doesn't fall in my face. A very nice jacket. I'm glad I bought both colors.

I just love this jacket. I did purchase one jacket before leaving on my vacation to the UK and to France this Fall. I was so pleased with it that I purchased another one in Green. My initial purchase was in light blue. This jacket is so comfortable and packs beautifully. Great color selection!!

This was a replacement after a loss, so yes, I like them. The stretch is esp. nice as I am walking and running dogs in the rain and snow. It is a shell, and the inside feels cold to the touch, so I wear long sleeves if it is chilly. I am not sure it is completely rain proof when it rains hard, but it is the best that I have found that breathes. I love the zip pits. Only wish the front zipper was both ways and that it came in a yellow or orange to be more easily seen,

this jacket is comfortable and easy to pack. I love the wire band at the top of the hood opening to keep the hood from falling in your face.

Great rain jacket, fits well and roomy, very breathable!

Your products are of high quality -- I just wish you did not put your name all over the outside of the garment. If you did not have your name prominently plastered all over the garment, I would probably purchase much more of your clothing,

Bought this coat for a hiking trip in Italy. Had a couple of rainy days, and this coat kept me dry and comfy the whole time! Has pit zips if you get hot, but it truly is a breathable fabric, so that didn't really happen. Has big pockets that were super handy and kept stuff dry. Fabric moves well, coat was comfy even when climbing. Worth the money!!

I bought this raincoat for a trip to Ireland, where the weather is often rainy but also often cold and windy. It was a great choice to have along! I bought one size up so that I could wear a light fleece under it for the cold days and it worked out perfectly!

Fits great, but was very expensive. Haven't worn it yet, waiting for rain. I exchanged the Trail Model Rain Jacket for this Cresta thinking it was the same jacket. When I got to the register I found out it was much more. Surprise surprise!

Highly recommend for light raincoat. Wonderful for hiking, biking and dog walking. Very comfortable.

Bought this for a trip to Scotland. Comfortable, kept the rain off, broke the wind and easy to bundle into my backpack. Not stiff at all.

I really like this jacket. It's hot here so I didn't want something heavy but I needed something to keep me dry during downpours. This is very lightweight, so much so that I thought it was letting rain through, but it was just the coolness of the rain that I felt. I also really like the hood. There's a little stiff piece over the top brim to keep it from collapsing on my forehead. A really well designed rain jacket.

I wore this jacket on an Alaska cruise and it was very comfortable and kept me dry. It was light enough to roll up in my backpack and use as an extra layer over my fleece for colder days. It's a great multi use outer layer.

Nice weight, excellent rain protection, well made. I am pleased with this jacket!!

Great jacket,breathable and stretches. Very happy with this purchase!

lightweight, stretchy, water repellent. I wore this on a hiking trip in 70s degree weather and was comfortable with just a lightweight performance top. The hood adjusts so the brim doesn't fall over my face and blind me, plus I wear a baseball hat to lift it off my face. It kept me dry. I love the slight stretch.

This jacket will be perfect for my summer trip to Norway. The quality is great. I'm sure it will cover my neck and head thru any kind of rain and wind, and I love the length.
