Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Pullover

Loved the item, however would be nice to have darker trim, tan, light brown, etc over the sleeves, etc. would make it much more practical for us customers with young children and busy, messy lives.

Nice sweater. It is true to size and I might have preferred a medium so I could wear a light sweater under it.

The Medium sweater fleece fit well - good in the shoulders, trim but not tight in the body, with room for a layer underneath. The quality of the fabric and workmanship is excellent (per Bean standards). But the band at the bottom of the sweater was too tight on my hips (I have a slightly pear shape), causing the top to stick on my hips and pouf out. Not flattering since the fabric is too heavy to drape over the band. Sadly, I have to return this top.

Love these sweater fleeces for my New England winters and the colors are great. I have two of the zip-ups in Large so, of course, I bought the snap-up in large as well. It fits and is not tight but would be if I put a heavyweight layer under it.

I had bought the Quilted Quarter Sleeve Zip-up and LOVE it. Since I already have it in several colors, I was looking for something different, but with a similar style. I bought the small because I wanted it to have a fitted look. I'm happy with it, with the exception of the binding at the hem. It stretches over my hips and is a little tight. I contemplated ordering up a size, but I know that will be bigger than I'd like in the body and shoulders. If not for the binding at the hem, I would love it.

Got it as a gift in 'Evening Blue'. Fits true to size, beautiful color. Great for layering and comfortable. I wish it was a little longer, but it is long enough to comfortably wear. Definitely recommend!

I'd been eyeing this fleece for quite awhile but had to convince myself to spend the money. I don't typically pay so much for clothes, but decided it seemed like a product I'd have for many years. Slightly thinner than I expected but keeps me warm on cool days. I've received many compliments on the teal color.

Overall I love this!! Purchased in grey and it is very soft and comfortable. Great weight for fall days with a t-shirt. Love that it had snaps because my daughter has a zipper phobia (really). I have washed it twice and so far so good. I'll probably get it in another color. The only drawback is that even in a medium the sleeves are too short. I end up pushing them up to 3/4 length because they fall well short of my wrist.

Good quality and looks great. Heavy fabric and warm. However, I got a large and while it fit, I think I would've felt more comfortable in an XL. Not sure if it's the sizing or the quarantine 15.

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.
