How should a rain jacket fit if I want to wear layers underneath?

It should feel comfortable over the layers you plan to wear. Check each product page for fit notes and measurements so you can choose the amount of room you want.

What is the difference between a rain jacket and a raincoat?

A raincoat is typically longer than a rain jacket. Use the product name and details to confirm the length and silhouette you are choosing.

Should I choose a rain jacket or a rain poncho?

Choose a rain poncho if you want a looser, poncho-style layer, and choose a rain jacket if you prefer a standard jacket silhouette. Look for the word "poncho" in the product name to spot the style quickly.

Do rain jackets for adults always come with a hood?

No, some rain jackets have a hood and some do not. Check the product details to confirm whether a hood is included and how the neckline closes.

How do I wash and care for a rain jacket?

Follow the care instructions on the garment label and on the specific product page. Before washing, close any closures (like zippers or snaps) and empty pockets to help protect the jacket during the wash cycle.

Rain Jackets are the layer you reach for when rain is in the forecast. This collection brings together men's and women's styles, including classic rain jackets, longer raincoat silhouettes and poncho options - all made with the dependable quality L.L.Bean is known for.

To choose the right style, start with length and silhouette. Jacket-length designs feel familiar and easy to wear, while raincoats add extra coverage and a more streamlined look. If you prefer a roomier shape, look for poncho styles in the product name.

Fit can vary by style, so it helps to take a quick look at sizing details before you decide. Check each product page for measurements, notes on length, and everyday design details like pocket placement and closure type.
