Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Waterproof Windbreaker Jacket

Overall, this is a great choice for days when you don't need a warm rain jacket and when it looks like rain and you want something lightweight to take with you so you don't get soaked. It folds into something that you can easily carry with you in a backpack or tote bag.The interior mesh lining makes it more comfortable than a totally unlined jacket, without adding bulk. The size was my normal L.L. Bean size. I love the bright blue color. My only complaint is that the two outside pockets have a short strip of velcro instead of a zipper. A zipper would make it easier to use. However, there is an inside pocket with a zipper.

I liked the fit and the color of this jacket. There were a couple of things that I didn't care for. The pockets were not zippered and they were awkward to get into. Also the sleeves were too long and there was no way to cinch up the cuffs. They were just elastic. I found another rain jacket from a reputable company that had what this one was missing, plus it was quite a bit less in price. If you don't mind these lack of features, then this is a cute raincoat.

Good quality and fits perfectly. Like that it is so lightweight. Did not receive small stuff bag so 4 stars.

It seemed a bit big at size medium but I can put sweaters underneath it.

The jacket is fine, but there was no pouch included in my shipment.

Though very thin it does repel rain quite well. The fit is as advertised

This is a very well made rain jacket. It does run a little small through the shoulders and upper arms and I am pretty average in those areas. I like the color (and especially that it was a clearance color).

This is a lightweight jacket that is perfect for travelers. I love the color and the fit. The reason it is four stars rather than five is because of the pockets. Nice roomy pockets, but no zipper. There is Velcro tape, but I prefer a zipper to make sure items I put in my pocket stay there. It is a minor criticism, and I am totally satisfied with this jacket.

Nice windbreaker but my wife didn't like the fit, so we returned it

Stylish and functional waterproof windbreaker provided much needed coverage for my daughter at summer camp where the weather was totally unpredictable! She loved that the jacket really kept her well covered and dry!

As promised, this jacket is quiet & feels great- no plastic feeling. Slash pockets are very flattering. The ad should mention: zipper plus Velcro closure, has an inside zippered security pocket. Rated a 4: Wish exterior pockets were zippered, instead of one Velcro tab. Wish hood stowed. Also, snaps instead of Velcro front closure would be nice. Overall, a pretty jacket, flattering in teal, excellent quality, soft as butter: highly recommended!

Seems sturdy but larger and weighs more than I'd like.

That it fitted and order a size bigger to be able to wear heavier tops.

I loved the jacket itself BUT after wearing it about 2 seasons the vinyl or whatever it is peeled away. I really want another one but afraid to buy it again! Really wish I would of saved the jacket to show a pic but do not write reviews much so was not aware you could show it!

Wish the color would have been kiwi instead of bright chartreuse. Want it to stand out when raining hard.

Great color, lightweight and definitely waterproof. I found the jacket less roomy than I expected although I ordered my usual size.

I bought this whispy, lightweight jacket in lemon drop, a slightly less neon version of road crew vest, and the result is total cuteness. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the elastic cuffs and the Velcro closures on the exterior pockets.

Jacket is well made. Color is as shown in catalog. Front pockets close by Velcro, not zipper. I like the longer jacket length.

I love this rain gear so much that I was going to write an excellent review! But the buttons above don't work .

I like this jacket and it's pretty true to size and color shown. Like some other reviews, I have to agree that I wish the pockets had zippers instead of Velcro. My older LL Bean slicker has zipper pockets and I wish this wasn't changed.

Light weight , comfy, but pockets are hard to get into .

Comfortable, lightweight as promised, seems really sturdy, definitely keeps the wind out. I wish LL Bean had chosen to make the hood adjustable, which would make the jacket even more useful for me; I'd be happy to pay a higher price for that feature. I haven't really had a chance to find out how waterproof the jacket really is, since we have had no real rain, but it has certainly kept me dry on mornings of heavy San Francisco fog.

Lightweight, waterproof jacket. Sleeves are a bit long, so a velcro adjustment on the cuffs would help to keep it around my wrists.

This jacket would have been perfect except for the sleeve length. The sleeves are longer than on older LLBean petite jackets I have. There is velcro on the pockets which catches on knit gloves and hat but no velcro tab for adjusting the sleeve length. I got this in a medium petite to fit over a fleece jacket and the combination was cozy on a day in the low 40s with a cold wind. Not exactly lightweight, a Gore-tex Active unlined jacket weighs several ounces less, but a good value, a welcome addition compared to other pricey rain gear.

This is a classic high quality windbreaker with hood. The only thing to improve would be to have zippered pockets. There is currently just velcro closures. But great jacket, exactly what you expect from LLBean.
