Deal Details
Here is another deal on a nice 3 layer Gore-Tex rain jacket/hard shell. The jacket is 50% off at Nordstrom and full price at LL Bean right now:

Mens: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/l-l-b...&color=420

No XXL's available.

Womens: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/l-l-b...&color=001

Regarding the men's jacket, the blue is a dark blue (even the lighter of the two-tone colors) and the orange is a medium/dark orange. I read many reviews of this particular jacket and most said that the jacket fits slim. I completely disagree. It's a regular cut with room for layering underneath.

You can also order for quick in store pickup at Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack (mine only took two business days).

The blue isn't bad but the lighter of the two blues is still dark so not much contrast. On the other hand, the orange is quite nice looking. Not neon colored at all. Very nicely made jacket with a lot of pockets and nice inside liner.

I'd consider if it were $100 cheaper. Price is ridiculous.

You apparently don't shop for Gore-Tex jackets. They charge a premium for a reason for the products that use their technology. This is DIRT CHEAP for a 3 layer Gore-Tex jacket. If you were to buy an Arcteryx Beta jacket, which is similar (but probably somewhat better quality, not much) you're looking at $400.

You can find cheaper Gore-Tex 2.5 layer jackets that use their Paclite technology but a 3 layer jacket will be more durable and probably last you 10 years if cared for properly. Another highly rated jacket is the 3 layer Patagonia Torrentshell on sale for $75 on some websites. This is a very good value as well (cheaper because it uses their own membrane, H2No, instead of Gore-Tex).

Yes, there are much cheaper jackets. I have a North Face Outlet not too far from where I live. I purchased their $200 retail "Dry-Vent" jacket once for like $45. Great looking jacket but the biggest POS rain jacket I ever owned. Got completely soaked in it!

Thanks OP. I had stopped buying LL Bean products due to the ugly label they started putting on everything and their quality seemed to drop. However, this does not have the ugly label, since it is a rain jacket. Also, you cannot go wrong with Gore-Tex. I am in for one at this price!

I think you'll be happy with the jacket. Great thing is that it's so easy and hassle free to return. So no risk in buying it. Not sure when the sale ends on this.
