I like these so much that I have three in different colors. However the piping around the wrists is pulling away from the sleeves with one of them. I went to order a replacement and was highly disappointed that the LLBean logo is now prominently displayed. While I love LLBean I just don't want to wear products that display the logo. PLEASE bring back the sweater fleece that doesn't have the logo. (And consider this comment for other LLBean products.)

This is a beautiful fleece sweater, but it's a little too tight. I can't wear it over anything. I am dieting and losing weight, but I think I will have to lose at least ten more pounds for this to fit comfortably over another piece of clothing. I love the zippered pockets, including the one in the sleeve. And it is very cozy and warm. I would recommend getting the next larger size.

I love the color of the sweater fleece jacket. It's a bit big on me (I'm very small), but I can wear it over sweaters. The great thing is that I used a seam ripper to take off the LLBean tag so that it looks nicer. It looks great without the tag!

Cozy and warm indoors and as a mid layer. But a breeze blows right through it.

This jacket is slightly fitted and looks good. Being tall, I appreciate the length in sleeves and back. It seems well made. Not sure how warm it will be as I haven't worn it much yet this fall. I gave it a four star rating because the llbean logo is on front of jacket and because I'd like to see a few more colors offered! I had to take the gray because tall sizes were only offered in a couple colors.

5 Stars for the jacket, 3 stars for the color options. Please bring back the Navy! I love the sweater fleece jacket, but NOT the color selection. I have the gray, oatmeal and navy and would like a new navy jacket. Not all women wear pink, purple, teal, and pastels!!!
Please include more classic navy and royal blue in your women's line of clothing, especially outerwear!!

Great for tall ladies. Thank you for adding a tall option. I would love to see more tall options and colors

Loved the color, but the weight was much too heavy for mild fall weather. I had expected a lighter version because I have two light fleece Bean jackets that are showing wear after many years and I can't find any like them now.

I wanted a lightweight fleece sweater and I know LLBean runs big so I ordered an XS. It fit fine except arms which were tight but still would have been fine (I have decent bicep muscles). I did not like the feel of the material nor how it fit as I am lean and tone and it wasn't as flattering as I would have liked on my body type. Besides, I really wanted a true fleece sweater as opposed to a sweater fleece. The color is less vibrant in person so does not suit my taste as I wanted something very vibrant for So Cal. It had gray or some other specs woven into it which muted the color but others may find it nice overall. It was very well made but I had to send it back.

I'd like to wear this even to teach class, but with the annoying extra visible label prominantly on the front chest unfortunately I won't be buying more to do so. Discrete is always better.

This is now my second color of this (also have off white) and find them warm and comfy. I particularly like the fit - close to the body and a little fitted so that it looks like you are wearing a "nicer" top versus a bulky fleece (which is why I bought the XS versus a S). Only complaint is there is no way to "turn down" the collar so it is always standing up and sometimes hits the side of your face. Otherwise would have rated a 5 star

Online it's $89tag came in and it says $79. Been trying to contact LL bean with no luck. Other than that, it's literally perfect so I can't complain.

Wanted to love this but just didn't work for me. The regular XS was too long in the torso. Also tried the petite XS, which fit better in the torso but sleeves were too short. Wish it had fit better. Still, beautiful sweater and great for most people.

Medium fit is good for me. Love the neutral oatmeal heather color. Packed well on a recent trip, temps in the high 60's low 70's with an ocean breeze. I have yet to wash it. The one thing I don't like is the collar is rather high on my neck(or my neck is short)rubbing my chin. The collar doesn't rollover because the zipper is stiff. I have to leave it partially unzipped(about 6 inches).

This sweater fleece has very nice styling, very good fit. I would have rated it 5 stars but I do not like to be a walking billboard for the maker of my clothes. The LLBean logo on the front of the fleece also makes it more of a sport item whereas it's good-looking enough to be worn for a bit dressier occasion. The logo seems to be glued on. Other than that, I really like it.

The collar is high and chafes the neck somewhat. It does not stay down when folded over. Otherwise, the fleece is roomy, and softens with washing.

I really need a misses size but the sleeves are always too long. I purchased a petite large and the sleeves are still a little long. All things said, I love the warmth and the style. As always....I love LLBean.

Really wanted this sweater to work as I love the colors. The blue and the red are gorgeous. Fabric is really nice as well but it was too short for my taste. The XS fit, the S gave me another ~half inch in length and was still fitted enough to look good but I prefer a jacket that covers my backside. Even the S was about 1-2 inches too short. I wish LL Bean would include measurements, especially from the top of shoulder (not top of collar).

Very stylish, looks and fits great. I loved everything about this garment until I wore it outside on a chilly day. The wind blows right through it. Looks a lot warmer than it really is. Does not hold body heat. I will reserve wearing it for errands on warmer days.

I do like this jacket. Has a nice fit and keeps me warm. The only thing I don't really like is the big LLBean patch on the upper left. I would prefer it if the branding was left to just showing on the inside of the garment. Either that or have much less conspicuous branding. I don't really want people to know what brand of clothing I'm wearing. I feel like I'm a walking advertisement instead of being fashionable. I'll probably keep purchases with the big sticker badge on it to a minimum and opt for the ones I don't see it on more.

I really like this sweater fleece jacket. I bought it to replace my LL Bean fleece that was the inside liner of a winter jacket I bought at least ten years ago. It's still nice and warm but looking a little worn as I have worn it almost year round. (Obviously, I would give that particular jacket great reviews!) I am disappointed with one feature of this sweater fleece- the stand-up collar. It will not lay flat as my previous fleece does. It is nice to be able to zip it all the way up for cold weather but would love it to lay flat when it's warmer. It really bugs me that it stands up all the time. I would consider exchanging for the sweater fleece with a hood as that collar should lay flat but unfortunately that style doesn't come in plus size. So I like it well enough to keep it and would recommend it with that one caution.

Good quality, slightly too warm for indoor wear and fit well. GET RID OF THE LL BEAN LOGO!

This is more of a jacket . It is too warm for inside. It is comfortable and will be handy in the Spring and Fall.
