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

Great looking jacket. It could use a little more room in the upper arm area, otherwise it fit well. I love the look and the color. (Sienna brick)

I've ordered this jacket in the past and was completely satisfied. This one however has tighter arms on it which make it uncomfortable and probably not the best suited for repelling rain.

I purchased this as a replacement. I like the color, the fit, but would have preferred no lining.

My wife loved this when I got it for her. She liked the Sienna Brick!

Like everything about this jacket except the Velcro closures outside the zipper. My previous (1990's) jacket had snaps which were perfect. The Velcro catches on everything and is hard to disengage. Like the exterior chest pocket for my phone and drawstring for the hood. Use a lot when needing to layer clothing.

So far i like the Jacket, only wore it couple times.

LL Bean is my go-to shopping spot. I spent weeks last year looking for a jacket with the right color and fit. Finally a bright, different (not red or blue) color I feel happy wearing. Hopefully, the white lining doesn't flake as it ages. BIG problem on all the jackets was sleeve length. Though my arms are normally sized, I have to roll cuffs up 2 inches. I wish the petite option shortened the sleeve length. I love that I can roll it up to carry and it's so comfortable.

My first impression was that the jacket was flimsy. It is so lightweight. But I needed rainware for an outside tour I was going on, just in case. When the weather turned to downpour this jacket kept me dry and comfortable. Very packable in my carry on bag.

I have not worn this jacket yet' but purchased it because of other reviews I have read'

It's a very nice jacket, feels thinner than the older version and a little expensive. But the color blue is very nice

Love the clover color. However, this jacket wasn't available in a petite XXS, so I ordered a petite XS. The sleeves are a good 2-3 inches too long.

Difficult seeing out of when hood is on. Protects from rain

Loving my new rain jacket! It fits very well and I love the color.

Pretty but too tight in the bust for this size. I have unneeded room in the upper back, but need it in the bust. I can wear this only with a thin top underneath. I'm disappointed in the sizing. Pretty color.

My first trail model rain jacket finally had issues with waterproofing due to the seam taping coming off. I replaced it with the same "model" and find that the roomy raglan sleeve of the first is now an inset sleeve that considerably narrows the possibilities of layering. It would also be wonderful for some manufacturer to see the light about the velcro on the front zipper opening which catches on fabric and causes thread pulling issues. All that said, it's probably the most efficient rain jacket on the market for the money. There's a hack for the velcro issue that I'm trying. I bought velcro and cut lengths of the loop side to put on the hook segments. Going to see if these stay stuck and eliminate the catching issue.

I just wish it were a little lighter and brighter green color because really it should be a brighter color for walking on rainy days outside, when it's kind iof -- dark. Plus I like a brighter green a little better. But I like the jacket so am not returning it, I'm keeping it.

I love your product but I dislike the color, you had a very limited selection

The jacket is much thinner and smaller than the LLBean rain jacket that I received as a gift many years ago. My older LLBean rain jacket is an XL Petite and fits nicely. I still wear it but it is showing some wear. The newer version is nice, but does not come in a larger petite size. The quality is not as good as the older rain jacket. I returned it.

I've been happily wearing my old Trail Model rain coat for 10 years, but this winter the waterproofing finally failed. I ordered a replacement in the same size as was on the label of the old one. I'm so disappointed that my new one is too small! I loved that my rain coat came in plus sizes (unlike the other major outdoors brands) and had a hood adjuster that allowed it to fit over my bike helmet. I'm looking forward to the new one, I'm just a little bummed that I'll have to do an exchange first.

Good overall design. Runs a bit smaller than expected for a large when wearing over a lined flannel shirt. My main issue is it is very noisy as the fabric makes a crackling sound whenever I move which is very annoying.

It looks okay, it fits. I bought it for a future trip and I haven't worn it yet. I wanted something that would pack small.

I liked the fit and it worked well in the recent windy rainy day. I have been noticing later that the quality of your products are not as good as its been in the past. I am not only noticing it with your company but others as well.

Well made, but the sleeves were too long for me, tried rolling them up but didn't look right.

Runs a bit narrow through the shoulders and the sleeves are a bit short, but overall, good quality and a beautiful color!

This would be a great jacket if it weren't so snug and straight at the bottom and/or if it had a 2-way zipper. I keep hoping Bean will come out with something similar that allows more room for sitting down in it. Unfortunately, going shorter into a petite means the sleeves are too short for me.
