I went through many rain jackets over the past few years. Some were not water resistant enough. Others were missing key design elements like pockets in the right places and a hood that fits well. This jacket has all of those things and costs much less than the gore-tex equivalent. Quality backed with LLbean's lifetime satisfaction guarantee made this a no brainier.

Purchased this rainwear for my active, tall camperguy. The fit was perfect for a 6'2 average build in a tallxl. It was well cut and kept him dry on a rainy camping trip. Style wise, you could wear this item anywhere.
It was a little pricey, but as a commited bean shopper, you do get what you pay for.
Very please with this purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MikeTrrr Light weight Comfortable
I bought this to work around the house rainy days. It's light weight and I love the pockets. I ordered a large tall and I'm 6'2 180lbs. It fit prefect.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Wbeck Great coat, had to get the tall.
Needed to replace an old rain jacket. I'm glad I went to the store, because the jacket runs small. I normal wouldn't consider buying a tall @ 5'10", but extra shoulder and chest room is perfect. The tall doesn't hang long in the arms or the waist. It is what I would call an XL.

Great purchase. Beads the water off perfect. And I've only used it once. Went trout fishing in a rain shower and was everything I wanted!

I purchased this jacket as a wind breaker and rain jacket. The quality is quite good. It is excellent to wear just as a wind breaker but fits right over many of the LL Bean I insulating layers I own, so it is a good choice for numerous needs. It is a well designed jacket as the zippered vents are useful and adjustable hood and cufffs make this a functional choice. I'm happy.

Phenomenal jacket. Don't break the bank on jackets from other comporable brands charging $75-$150 more for the same type jacket. This is a great jacket for all types of outdoor excursions or for just throwing on to run to the store. Nice and lighweight, but thick enough to feel durable. Really breathable for those muggy days. And perfectly fitted for style and comfort.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sacoman Well done.
I had the opportunity to check out a sample in person and I had to jump on a shell that has such high end features at such a reasonable price point. Perfect for those who want something with more technical details and "coolness" than the more economical Bean's rain shells, but don't want to (or can't) shell out $350 for the lovely Ascent Gore-Tex rig. The construction details are fantastic and the materials have the hand and robustness of a shell costing twice as much from a competitor. If it were up to me, I would have included the nice rubber/plastic pulls on the pit-zips instead of the knotted cord, but that's a very minor gripe. Fabulous product. Buy one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Buddyau Comfortable and waterproof
Good product. A bit smug. I usually wear a large and this coat is a bit tight for its size. But it looks good and it is as waterproof as advertised.

I am 5'4" 170 with a 43" chest ,and got a large.I can fit a base layer,mid weight fleece under the shell.I have llbean down coat that will fit over the shell which works good in real cold weather hiking or snowshoeing,when I stop for a break.The hood adjusts fine,I just wish the hood and the collar were separate.I can use the pit zips to dump heat,but have to take off shell to zip back up.It seems to breathe and the inner layer does absorb moisture as I was sweating and took off to check how much condensation and there was some on the tag but that's all.I have not had it in the rain,but have had it in heavy snow and strong wind and it worked great.the material is more substantial than the trail model raincoat,but not heavy and be packed without any problem.This is not a Gortex Pro shell or like I have stated trail model rain coat.Its somewhere in between.I think this is a good value at a decent price.Hope this helps
