Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Trail Model Raincoat

Nice raincoat, great in we weather, I stayed dry all day. Wish it had snaps instead of Velcro, which grabs on everything

This jacket is really nice and cover A LOT! It is thinnner than I expected.

Great length, good fit. The zipper sticks a bit near the bottom, but hopefully it will get smoother w some use.

A very handy lightweight rain coat. Had one for 15 years. Had to finally replace. Good coverage, and not bad looking!!

The jacket is exactly what I need for Florida storms. The only minus is the zipper, which could be done better. It will be difficult to zip in a downpour. However, the length is great covering as much of the body as possible. It is not insulated so probably good for 50-60 degrees (with sweater) and above. I bought Medium (136 lbs) and it's a super fit with room.

It was nice and long, and waterproof. It kept me dry in Ireland's heavy rains. But the velcro strips on the zipper panel caught on gloves, scarves, and sweaters. I will remove the strips before the next use. Also, the color would be more vibrant - on dreary rainy days (when it was used), a brighter color would have added some cheer.

Looks good and keeps me dry. Zip is difficult because the inner part of the fabric gets caught in the zipper

Raincoat fits well..zipper is a bit trickygood length

Like the zip pockets and it is waterproof! Just wish it had one big pocket. Also a 2way zip

Great, just didn't fit me well. The quality of the coat was amazing and I liked the long length. The blue color was amazing too.

I had exchanged my original rain coat due to the lining peeling and noticed that the style of the raincoat had changed. I much preferred the more relaxed style that had more room for adding an extra layer underneath for chilly days than the new style that is more fitted with less room. I found the original style to be more functional, was disappointed that the style changed.

Great fit but... the arms are much too long. A bigger size doesn't equal longer arms..

This raincoat is a great length and has a double zipper so you unzip the bottom third to give yourself room to walk or climb. I don't like dark colors and there's no reflective tape, so I took off a star for that. But it fits true to size, is comfortable, and not too warm. It would be nice for the website to have a video showing how to pack it into one of the pockets.

Great basic piece no issues. Underarm vents would be the 5th star.

Seems fine so far tho not as sturdy as my old one. I like the length. Haven't worn in a hard rai. So hope it is waterproof enough.

It's a sturdy coat, just more functional than it is dressy. The last LL Bean raincoats I bought had a round-shaped hood. The hood on this coat is more macho! I love the quality of L.L.Bean, I'm just a little disappointed that this coat is pretty sporty and not like their other more classic raincoats.

Nice jacket, but just a little too long for me. Would have been ok if the length met the bottom of my thigh. May be perfect for a taller person, I'm 5.5.

It's a great raincoat, just not proportioned well for short people. The material is nice and it is well-made.

I originally ordered this raincoat in size Small Reg. (nautical blue). I reviewed it upon arrival, saying it would have to be exchanged for a size Med. Reg. due to the too-tight fitting across the hips. In all other respects it was satisfactory. The size Med fits better, but there is still a slight issue with the hip width. I think, as another reviewer noted a while back, that the cut is too straight, without enough allowance for proportional lower body width. I will keep the exchange, but for that reason alone, cannot give it a 5-star rating. (Someone with narrow hips might not have any problem, though. I'm 5'7 and 130 lbs.)

Excellent raincoat! This coat had everything I was looking for: extremely lightweight and packable, excellent coverage, and rainproof. The only reason it didn't work for me was the white interior. I needed something that would be a neutral, classy travel coat and the white interior was not my style.

Fit was as expected. Need a lighter raincoat that works for walks in the rain in milder weather. I would love it if the cut were not as straight and was more a-line to make make it more roomy for my hips. But it did fit. Seems like it should be easy to fold up into its pocket. Haven't tried this yet.

I loved the fit and features, wish it came in other colors, wish there were instructions for the "packs in a pocket". I wish the side pockets were stitched at the bottom inside the coat as they could be inside pockets too. The hood does fall past your eyes. It is very lightweight. For that reason alone, I think the price is a bit spendy. I think $75 would be a fair pricepoint. Otherwise, I love it... can't wait to wear it in Scotland.

Nice long trench style, but unfortunately the hood falls clear over your eyes. Velcro, toggles, lots of adjustables. True to size, and perhaps a tad bit forgiving.

works well wish it was designed with side zips for more practicality when sitting and bending over

I really like this raincoat: color, length, adjustable hood. I did size up to give room for a sweater underneath. I would suggest getting rid of the lowest Velcro closure, because if you use the two-way zipper to allow for a longer stride, the Velcro winds up fastening on its own, defeating the purpose of the adjustable zipper. Problem solved by covering one side with a scrap of Velcro, easily removed if fastening becomes important.
