Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Pullover

Was to stiff around the neck, did not like so returned

This fleece pullover unfortunately did not work for me. I ordered a small which I usually wear in Bean tops, but it was just a bit too small. Ordered a medium and that was much too big. The medium was not flattering. Hung a bit too low and the kangaroo pocket pooched out and made the top look less than flattering on a trim person. Had to return both. Unfortunate because I liked the color and hoped to wear it in very cold weather. Will stick with the Bean fleece that is flattering and warm. Not this fleece.

I am disappointed with my latest LL Bean purchase. It's very pretty, but uncomfortably stiff, when I expected a soft sweater. The collar is especially stiff and pokes my neck.

Would love to buy this, but disappointed that LL Bean continues to prominently display their logo on so many of their clothing items. Love LL Bean clothing but won't buy anything with a logo.

There is a lot to love about this sweatshirt - great fit, thick but pliable material, very cosy and soft, lovely colors to choose from - however the pilling is a deal breaker for me. I was using a de-piller comb prior to each wear but I grew concerned the high friction areas would wear thin. I finally downgraded these to underlayers which is a shame. These keep me toasty warm during the cold and damp PNW winters but I no longer wear them when I know I'll be taking off my outerlayer. The pilling is too sloppy looking.

The sizing is off. I wear large but ordered X-Large because it was an over sweater. Couldn't get it on it was so tight. It also appeared short.I am 5'2" tall.

Too long and odd bulge at hemline. Nice fabric and trim color.

There was an LL Bean store closing in Tysons, Virginia and this pullover was pushed to the front of the store so everyone who walked in could see it. Well, I loved it but it was not marked down even for a store closing. I bought it on line and got 10% off. I was not disappointed, this is so well made. I know I will keep it for years to come. I have several LL Bean pieces I bought years ago and the colors and quality have stood up.

I love LL Bean but this fleece is too short and the sleeves are too short. I wish they made it in a tall. Otherwise this would be great!

I live in my four XS Reg fleece pullovers during the late fall and winter. I ordered the muted purple in the same size but I knew it was too small the moment I took it out of the bag. I was willing to size up but the smalls are sold out. I can't help but wonder if this is the 'new normal' for sizing in this item.

Material is not soft. The way it fits is odd. It was tight up top and too roomy on the bottom. Very strange fit and texture. I ordered a bigger size because I wanted it to be roomy and I could barley get it on or off

A pretty color and shape, and toasty warm. BUT WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? The Pocket Lining on the Arctic Blue Color is White!!! It hangs down when your hands or anything else is in the pocket (as others have noted) and because it is white, it stands out against the blue and Looks Like Your Underwear is Hanging Out -- especially when you are sitting down. Ugh. Also, because the fabric has no stretch, it is near impossible to get on and off. A sad failure, LLBean, especially as it is otherwise pretty. Returning it.

Fleece was bulky and shapeless. Sleeves stiff and tight at sleeves. Not comfortable to wear. I'm returning it. Sti

I'm PL, that's what I ordered and received. I have a quarter zip LLBean fleece pullover that I love. On this model I found the collar was way too high (halfway up my ears) and very scratchy. The return was handled perfectly by the clerk at the Park Meadows store.

This sweater fleece was as cute as can be -- but way, way too hot. It wasn't comfortable at all simply because it was too dense and contained the heat. Maybe it's great in Minnesota or Maine but certainly not in the California Bay Area.

Disappointed and considering a return. The fabric inside the front pocket extends below the fleece. So if I have anything (my phone) in the pocket it hangs down exposing the gray fabric below the fleece. Poor design.

I purchased a small for my daughter and ended up keeping it for myself, I own 7 other sweater fleeces and they are all medium this small fits the same. We had to order an xs for her. The sizing is all over the place lately and with the pandemic it's a real problem ordering from bean!

I love the look and softness of the fleece inside. There is no fleece on the inside of the stand up and either the edge binding or the sweater material it is made of irritates my neck enough I can't wear it without a turtleneck to protect my neck. Turtlenecks are too warm on me so I seldom wear them.. I like things I can wear over a t shirt and take off as needed. I get a small in the Pima t shirts but like it roomy as an over jacket so ordered a medium and fit was good.

While I was wearing this item, it felt like the collar was crawling up over my ears and I couldn't get the shoulders to stay down. Otherwise I loved it -- the way it looked, the color (red), the style -- but after wearing it for several hours, it drove me crazy.

I was really excited to get this pullover after reading reviews online. I've been eyeing it for a couple years. I bought a size small. It just didn't fit right - I don't know how else to describe it. I am a pretty slim person but this pullover just looked weird on my body. I did see other reviews mention the pocket not being tacked down inside and I truly believe this is a design flaw that should be remedied. When I put my hands in the pockets, the inside of the pocket would pop out the bottom of the pullover, which made it look silly. I am returning it.

I recently purchased my 5th Bean sweater fleece pullover because I live in them, and you can't beat the sale price. I was surprised, however, and quite disappointed when the beautiful pine green fleece arrived, as it is much thinner and cheaper feeling than my previous 4 fleeces of the exact same model that were purchased over the last 2 years. The trim around the sleeves and bottom hem are sloppy, uneven, and look like they are one wash away from falling apart. It's such a shame that my favorite sweater fleece's quality is junk.

I am yet again left disappointed with this purchase. The item is very snug fitting and too short. I am generally a 2x (18/20) and the 3x did not even fit me! The sleeves are short and snug, the body is too short and too narrow. I am returning.

The kangaroo pocket lining droops below the bottom hem of the front - with keys or phone, it really droops. Fabric and color are great!

I loved the picture of this item in the catalog. Fit was too boxy and long for a petite figure. The ribbon band at the bottom was constricting since it fell at mid to top thigh.

This sweatshirt is just ok. Collar is too tall and body too slim for real casual comfort. Wish Bean would make women's sweatshirts fuller in the body - like mens.
