Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Trail Model Rain Jacket

This is my second one of these rain jackets. I love the comfort and fit. But the first one didn't stay water repellent for more than a couple years. Maybe that is normal. But overall I obviously liked it enough to get it again.

Purchased this jacket to take to Ireland. Wonderful rain jacket! Light weight and easy to pack. And it is waterproof. Color was just what I was looking for.

Perfect light jacket, easy to carry; wear over a fleece or on its own. It breathes well, burgundy colour is lovely. I'm happy with it.

I am 5'2" and weigh 138lbs. Straight-ish figure. I ordered the burgundy in medium petite. It fit perfectly, but actually too perfectly. Although I would have kept it for my Texas climate, I bought it to carry in my backpack to Scotland later this year, where I will likely need a layer or two of heavier clothing under it. I exchanged it for a large petite, which was only available in black in my size. I really liked the burgundy color, but black was the only option. It will do the job nicely, as there's plenty of room for layering. The bottom is quite wide, but there's an elastic cord to pull it into my hips. My only complaint is the velcro on the flap that covers the zipper is "grabby" and is rather annoying to control while putting on and taking off the jacket; it also wants to stick to my tee or fleece top when I don't have the jacket zipped. I would have preferred snaps. "Folding" the jacket into its own pocket is a bit of a task, but "stuffing" it in is no problem. The left-hand pocket needs to be pulled out through the pocket opening and the un-zipped jacket shoved into the pocket a handful at a time. After many attempts, I did manage to fold large sections of the jacket and generally roll it into the pocket, but it takes patience to accomplish. Overall, I'm still giving the jacket five stars. Although I haven't actually used it, yet, I'm confident it will be easily carried in my backpack and be adequate protection from rain. I worry a bit about breathability, but we'll see.....

Very well made and I love the color. Fits great I am actually looking forward to being out in the rain.

Light weight but stops the wind. Sleeves are a little long for me, but I just tightened the velcro at the wrist. Exactly what I had hoped it would be.

This rain jacket is absolutely beautiful and I love the color so much. It definitely keeps me dry on rainy days and the hood is definitely a plus.

Love this! I ordered a X-Large, I'm 5'2" an 200lbs. Fits perfectly.

It's been tested. This coat is waterproof. Comfortable, light, and reliable in the rain.

Love the fit and color. I've gotten many compliments.

Perfect rain jacket! Lightweight with lots of great features. I like how the cuffs and everything is adjustable. I love the green color.

Great packable rain jacket, true to size, comfortable and gets tge job done!

Perfect for rainy days! I made good use of this rain jacket on a recent trip to England.

Light, longer back very helpful in staying dry, comfortable, and easy to pack!

Things I like about this raincoat: Light weight for packing. Silvery-gray lining that looks good with gray hair. Three zippered pockets, any one of which will hold a cell phone. Clover green color that feels like spring and picks up the green in a floral blouse. Slim lines. Agree that the video should slow down the demo on how to fold it into a zippered package.

The small petite is just right for my height with enough room to wear a fleece underneath in cooler temps. It's comfortable and breathable.

I love this versatile jacket! It folds up small, so is perfect to take when weather forecast is iffy it provides great protection from rain and wind!

I bought this jacket at a LL Bean outlet. Love it, but it did not come with instructions as to how to fold it into its pocket, and the video moves much too quickly. Can anyone help me?

Lightweight, waterproof, wind proof and great for layering in all kinds of wet weather.

Fits well, lightweight, somewhat easy to pack. Completely windproof. Mildly crinkly noise, but not enough to be bothersome. Very happy with my purchase.

This tough but lightweight fabric is great for blocking water and wind. It has deep pockets, but they aren't built for carrying heavy or sharp objects. It fits well and moves well--no restriction of arm movement. I wore it once on a cold and blustery day, and with a heavy sweater on underneath, I never felt the cold.

Lots of pockets! Good waterproofing keeps you dry in the rain.

I bought this same raincoat 20 years and just now had to replace it due to wear in the neck and shoulders. Hopefully this new one will last as long as the original'

The zippered pockets are great! The over-all good LL Bean quality of the jacket is what I expected.

It's lightweight, and comfortable. It repels water well, has roomy pockets and is a good fit. I also love the color.
