Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Pullover

I ordered a size up, but that wasn't needed. I would've sent it back for the right size, but there were a few things that bothered me. The deal breaker was logo is too big and colorful. I don't like it. I could look past the kangaroo pocket falling down below the fleece, which it did. Otherwise, it is a very warm and nice looking fleece.

Excellent quality and fit in chest and waist. However, sleeves were 2" too short....they always are for tall girls! Also length could be longer for reaching/bending. LLBean - please offer women's sizes in TALL just like you offer men's sizes in tall! It is very hard to find quality sweatshirts, fleece, and jackets with sleeves that are long enough. Our chilly wrists and waists would be so appreciative!

Arm length and body length was great for petites but... the collar is soooo tall. The petite collar should be shorter than the regular sized item. Being too tall, the collar is always in the way of earrings and hair. I don't have a short neck but the collar halfway up the back of my neck is annoying.

I have really enjoyed this sweater - perfect to wear when working from home because it looks put-together-enough for video calls and then transitions seamlessly to a quick walk or outdoor activity. It is also a great layering piece for New England spring/fall transitions that go on way longer than I like! My only tiny quibble is that I wish it was an inch or two longer.

I bought two of these at first, both in a medium. I am a true size 12. The medium size was VERY snug and had very little 'give', so I sent both of them back for a large. Neither of the larges are roomy on me, I wish now I would have gotten both in X large, a size I have never worn. These appear well made and are fairly heavy in weight so they don't stretch in terms of fit. I was expecting a lighter weight, comfy sweatshirt type sweater, like the one I had years ago from LLBean.

My wife loves this sweatshirt but although the size chart says she should wear a small it is quite snug making it hard to layer under

Very stylish. Quite warm. Sleeves a bit short. All in all a good buy.

I wonder this in both xs and small with very little difference between the two sizes and owned red and gray. (I'm sure multiple are cut at once so it repents one where it fell in the.batch) They washed well and were very warm... but the warmth was a downside. For me, it's something more suited for when you're trying to keep the heat down or when you'll be outside for a while, but not great for running errands or being inside other buildings. It got too hot. I replaced both with the full-zip version and prefer it.

The product fits like a regular fleece. I like the color, sleeve length, overall length. What I don't care for and didn't expect is the weight of the pullover. It is quite heavy and somewhat stiff. I realize the title says "sweater" fleece, but I imagined the weight to more like a normal sweater. This is more of a jacket weight. Recommend to someone if you know what they are looking for. This might be just right for someone else. I'm small and I feel bulky in it.

Love this sweater. I got it in XL but wished I would've gotten a L...it is a little large around the waist. Overall, it is really soft and will be perfect for hiking or even going grocery shopping.

This fleece is more of a sweatshirt than I thought, being lined which makes it warmer than anticipated and also a tad snug. Do like it as a winter top on colder days, just have to keep it out of the dryer to avoid any shrinkage

I love LLBean, and have been a customer for 45 years. I like the color of this pullover and the warmth. I think it is a tad bulky around the pocket area. Otherwise fine.

This sweater jacket fits snugly in the shoulders and armpits. I ordered up a size and it is ok for around the house and shopping, etc. Not for anything outdoors with a lot of arm activity, it just feels too constrictive. The material is bulky, not a smooth lightweight fleece. So overall it feels inflexible. The kangaroo pocket is awful. It's lined with some sort of slimy material. It is not fleecy and cozy, but cold and catches on hands and nails. I ordered two colors, but I am planning to return the kelp green. This color looks greyish under flourescent lights, brownish under other indoor light, and almost khaki outside. None of the colors are very attractive to me, or on me. I am keeping the faded eggplant color. It's a cross between a dusty rose to a maroon shade. It goes well with black or denim.

I do in fact LOVE this pullover. However, that being said the size chart seems to be off. Let me start with saying sleeves are ALWAYS too long on me. I ordered a MED PET in the Quilted Quarter Zip Pullover and the fit/sleeves were PERFECT! So I assumed the Sweater Fleece would fit the same way (the size chart was the same for both products). I was wrong, the sleeves on the Sweater Fleece were way TOO SHORT. The difference in sleeve length was about 2"__Not to fear - I just ordered an exchange for the Reg Med so fingers crossed the sleeves work this time!

Nice and warm, though a bit snug when layered with a light weight turtleneck, which is needed on cold Wisconsin winter days.

Well made quality sweater-like material. I took one star away because I think it fits a little snug (medium) and a large would have been too big. Also, I have been a fan of LLBean clothing for many years but I wish they would stop putting their emblem on the front of their products. At the prices I pay for their clothing I shouldn't also have to be a source for their free advertising.

This is a very nice, thick fleece but it is a little shorter and form fitting than other items of the same size and fit. It has a high quality look and feel and is perfect for cool fall days/nights. Am keeping and hope it stretches out a bit with wearing a few times.

I followed the advice of many reviewers and bought a size larger than my normal Small Petite. The Medium was too big and baggy even with a shirt underneath. I will return for a size smaller.

I absolutely love this pullover fleece but I have one issue with it. The giant pocket in the front is not tacked down at the top so if you put things in the pocket like your phone is dips below the hem line and you can see it. I'm going to have to tack it down or add a strip of fabric and sew it down at the seam across the chest. I'm surprised this was missed during fittings. I'm normally a medium but I wanted it to be super cozy so I sized up and it fit my shoulders better this way. The coziest pullover I've owned!

LOVE this sweater but dislike how short the body and arms are, personal preference is it to be a tad longer

I have a sweater fleece jacket and liked it (after I got used to the fitted style)so thought I would get a pullover. It is beautiful but it was fitted and more difficult to pul over my head-very close fitting, so I sent it back. I had ordered a large and usually wear that size. I would like to get a vest but they are only in the men's at present, so may order one of those.

Wicked comfortable and warm! Does fit big for an xs. I would order smaller than you normally do. Great quality.

Looks & fits great. I'm a 2x and this style is very slimming. The fabric is very thick & a bit too warm for me most of the time. I do love the look, though.

This is the first sweater fleece I have purchased. It is very warm and comfy especially with a cotton turtleneck underneath. I especially like the slightly longer length as compared to my old fleece pullovers. If I could change one thing it would be to have a slightly larger opening at the top.

Overall, love this pullover. My only complaint would be the kangaroo pocket isn't sewn in on the top on the inside, only the sides so when you put something a little heavy, like a phone, it sags and you can see it coming out from the bottom. However does not deter from how warm and nice it is.
