Verdict

Overall, the L.L.Bean Pathfinder Gore-Tex Shell Jacket is a well-constructed and waterproof jacket that keeps users dry in rainy weather. However, there are some design flaws such as the lack of a double zipper for the front and a roll-up Velcro strap for the hood. The fit can also be disappointing, with some finding it too small for layering and others finding the sleeves too long. The pockets are also small and not high enough to be above a pack belt. Some users also found the excessive LLBean logos to be a downside. Despite these flaws, the jacket is still considered a good value for the money and has received positive reviews for its ability to keep users dry and block wind.
