Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Pathfinder GORE-TEX® Jacket

The most comfortable coat I've ever owned! It's durable, sits below the waist, and tapers well to the body keeping out the chill.

Kept me nice and warm and dry in Haida Gwaii. Nice fit and weight to this jacket

Love it! Lots of useful pockets inside and out, pit-zips, hood, long sleeves, great color, roomy fit, easy to move in, very functional, so glad I got it!

I needed a waterproof and wind breaking jacket and this fits the bill. It looks good too!

I purchased this item for our upcoming trip to Norway and also for walking a dog who loves to play in the rain. I got size medium so I can layer a down coat underneath if needed, the arm vents are an added bonus when it's warmer. With this coat and the LL rain pants, I stay totally dry.

I love this coat. I needed a windbreaker that was great for rain and this more than met my expectations. It has several pockets that hold my sunglasses, gloves, key etc. worn over a sweater or sweatshirt it's warm enough for fall, and early New England winter weather. I love LLBean quality.

I really needed this in a petite, but the color is so gorgeous and I wanted a truly waterproof shell, so ordered in S and XS. I'm 5'1", 124 lbs, usually PS in LL Bean. This is the most expensive raincoat I've ever bought, but it's Goretex. The sleeves are too long, but I can turn them under if not raining and cinch with the ties if it is. I read Goretex should not be stitched, so can't take it to my tailor. I kept the XS.

For perfectly . Love the color. Nice weight jacket

This is the best jacket, provided great protection from wind, rain and cold. I love the fit and length!

This jacket is great! It keeps me dry and warm, especially with the longer length, Velcro sleeves and adjustable hood.

I bought this jacket for a trip to Ireland. It rained most days of my trip but this jacket kept me dry. Love all the zippered pockets for holding phone, wallet, etc.

Wore this jacket to watch the Head of the Charles in a downpour and stayed dry all day! Excellent gore-tex jacket.

well made rain jacket and it looks like it will perform very well, however I have not had an opportunity to wear it in the rain.

Love this! Did lots of on-line & in-store shopping to find a water proof, fashionable jacket--it's perfect! Love the fuchsia color. I weigh 105lb, 5"5", got the X small. It does makes a bit of a crinkly noise; fine with me. Ample hood, great length & pockets. Great for outdoorsy & in town activities.

Super cute and comfortable. Love the color. So far it keeps me nice and dry.

I wanted a waterproof rain jacket that would cover my butt and upper thighs and have a decent hood and this jacket fits the bill. I love that the hood is broad enough and that the droptail hem falls low. The sleeves on the Regular are a bit long for me (I usually order a Petite but this jacket was sold out) but they will definitely keep my clothes dry. I can fit a few layers underneath so that is a plus. I trust GoreTex as a waterproof fabric so I am super pleased with this purchase.

very nice jacket, fits well, terrific in this hard driving rain we've been having and at the same time isn't too hot.

I bought this for a trip to Iceland. It did not disappoint. I'm 5'7" 140 and bought a M, I loved the long length. It has pit zips if you get hot and the hood was great. I wore a light jacket underneath and it kept me dry and warm in the crazy rain and wind.

Brought this on my trip to Iceland, it was perfect. Packed well in my backpack and was very comfortable over layers.

I love the color and the fit. This jacket "walks the talk" of being really waterproof. I had considered the less expensive LL Bean rain jacket, but am glad that I spent a little extra for the Gore-Tex. I highly recommend it!

I have only positive things to say about this Gore-Tex jacket! It is comfortable to wear and keeps the wind and rain out. No need for an umbrella with this jacket! I also love the color!

This coat has a great fit and is very comfortable. Even my high school child wants to wear it! I plan to use it as a shell for skiing as well.

I bought this Pathfinder Cortex jacket to bring to Iceland and It did not fail me. Strong winds, cold rain blowing sideways, even in September made it a challenge to tour, hike and sightsee. This jacket was awesome, keeping me warm and dry throughout the trip. I added a pair of Trail model rain pants to the mix, and LL Bean waterproof gloves and I was good to go. So happy that I bought it and brought it for sure.

Purchased for my daughter going to University in Scotland. She says the jacket is perfect for the Scottish weather. Great item - thanks LL BeN!

Very satisfied with this well made, water repellent jacket. Perfect for frequent walks with and without our dog, with room to wear additional layers underneath it. Feels like it will last for many years.
