Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Airlight Knit Pullover

I love that I can wear this as an everyday shirt. I don't have to be going outside, but also fits well when I want to go hiking or camping. It is very comfortable, it keeps you warm but not too hot. I got the fair aqua heather when I had blonde hair. It went well with my hair. Now that I dyed my hair brown it still goes well with it. The only issue I could find was that it seems to get wrinkly after the first wash. Yet because of the lines this isn't too noticeable.

Have two of these. Great pullover when in cool weather but not heavy enough for cold weather. Runs large. I normally wear a small but could have ordered an x-small

I'm enjoying my new airlight pullover quite a bit! If I'm being picky, I wish it was a bit slimmer and a tad longer though.

I really, really wanted to love this pullover. It has all the makings for the best pullover ever. It is lightweight and comfortable and perfect for in between weather. I took a star away because, while I do enjoy wearing it, it's annoying that it doesn't have some sort of elastic at the waist/sleeves. I find myself constantly pulling it down (I did get the petite size because I fit within the height parameters but still think it would do the same with the regular fit) at both my sleeves and waist. I bought it on sale so I kept it but if I paid full price, I probably would have returned.

I ordered the raisin color because it was on sale. When I received the item in the mail I was extremely excited! However, I tried it on, and unfortunately it was SO snug. I order 3X to be loose, and I've ordered this exact sweatshirt a week prior in 3X and it fit just the way I wanted it to. The sweatshirt says 3X, the tag says 3X, but when I place the new raisin sweatshirt above the one I purchased a couple weeks ago, it is visibly smaller.

Love this shirt because it's light weight and a fun color. Good size if just wearing by itself but would have gone bigger to wear over other shirts. Washes well. Hang dry. Also would have bought a few more colors but the price is very prohibitive. I'll wait for sale and see what colors are left.

I've been wanting this top for a long time and finally bought it. I always wear XS but this one is really baggy. I wish this came in XXS. It's nice but too roomy. I checked for a kids version but couldn't find one.

This has been my go-to pullover this season, it's perfect.. lightweight.. great for being in the sun, outdoors etc. The sleeves are a little larger which is slightly annoying but does not make me love it any less. I would like to have the lower part of the sleeves a little more fitted, but it could just be personal preference. I purchased an XL and I probably could have went down to L, but I prefer my pullovers a little roomier. I've gotten so many compliments on this pullover. I purchased the teal color and it's wonderful. I would 100% recommend this product!

I love this pullover - it replaced a raggedy sweatshirt, and is much lighter and fits better (the petite size is perfect for me - the right length and roomy to include something heavy underneath if I'm going for layers. I love the color which I would characterize as dusty periwinkle.The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is that the fabric snags - it doesn't get along with the mesh bracelet on my fitbit. I've had the fitbit for years and just have one other clothing item where this happens, so It is an issue with this fabric. Even so, I may consider getting another in a different color - even with a few snags, it's great for working in the yard, hiking, etc.

I love LL Bean's fleece pullover and wanted to get something a little more lightweight for the spring/ cooler Maine nights. I'm an RN, a Mom, a chicken Mama and a gardener. My hands are generally in rough shape - dry from frequent washing and calloused/abraided from working in the dirt, the coop and around the house. I feel like I have to be careful with the material as it catches on my hands. I don't think it will actually pill up from my hands but it feels as if it *could*. As other reviewers mentioned, the front pocket does sag down even with a lightweight item in it. I probably should have ordered an extra small as the whole fit seems larger than LL Bean's fleece pullovers I own. Not sure that this will hold up as long as the LL Bean fleece pullovers, it definitely feels more dainty!

I wear either a medium or a large when it comes to tops depending on how things fit (I'm tall and slim). This one definitely runs large overall, so I am returning for a medium. Looks lovely otherwise so I am looking forward to having it arrive.

I have this in two colors, it washes especially well and air dries super fast. It's very lightweight and seems like something I'll be able to wear year round. I've worn it in the winter and i expect that I'll be able to wear it on chilly summer evenings. My only complaints are that 1) it's cut very straight and narrow, no room really for hips. You can see that on the model as well, so the picture is accurate (I have this issue with a lot of LLBean clothing so I make sure to size up to a 3x) and 2) the wind goes right through it. While it's warm enough, on windy days I need an additional layer to keep out the wind or I'm freezing. I guess you can't have it all, I think it's just the single downside of the awesomely light fabric.

I really like this pullover. However, I bought this item from the store, not the discount store, and the LL Bean tag has been sewn on upside down.

Nice material. Lightweight pullover. Most LLBean items I buy are Medium and fit fine but for some reason the sleeves on this pullover are too short. You can't tell in the picture because they pull the sleeves up. I would return it if I hadn't washed it.

I ordered several colors of these and all fantastic looking. As with many other reviews, the kangaroo pocket does hang slightly below the seam. These are lighter weight good for layering, spring, or fall. I give these 4 stars for the kangaroo pocket, and as a plus size person I wish these were about 1-1.5 inches longer.

Love this pullover but it runs a size smaller than all my other LL Bean clothing. I am always a L regular, but I needed an XL regular in this. Had to return for an exchange which cost me $6.50. The plum heather with orange trim is a gorgeous color combo!

I love the look, love the fit, love the feel, love the colors, love the style, love that it comes in petite! Why only 4 stars then? It's 100% polyester and does not breathe! I wore this to train my dog (in agility) and I got SO hot and sweaty. I'm sure for a mild activity like walking it would be fine and WARM but for a vigorous activity, I found it oppressive. It claims to wick moisture and dry quickly. Perhaps it does. But I did not like the lack of breathability. I will keep it....I just won't wear it for vigorous activity again!

This is an excellent, lightweight pullover. My only issue with it is what others have mentioned: the pocket. It is not attached at the top which means the fabric of the front pocket slouches down creating an unflattering pouch on my tummy. This is a place I try to hide and it is frustrating that this piece accentuates it rather than helping to hide it. I may make some alterations to the pocket to help with this issue, but in the meantime, I will enjoy this pullover as is!

I am in southern CA so I wanted something on the lighter side, that could provide warmth but not bulk when layered. The raw indigo heather is a nice color and I like just about everything about this, but NOT a fan of the banded bottom. It sort of bunches up at the bottom rather than lay flat so it needs to keep being pulled down...if this did not have a banded bottom, it would be almost perfect. I am 5'7, regular build and the small was fine, with room for layering underneath.

I bought this as an overshirt, and really like the fabric and the look, but it is very hard to slide off of any other material other than something silky and slide-y. Trying to get it off over cotton, or, even worse, fleece, is nearly impossible. I suggest buying a size larger if planning to use it as an overshirt. I am going to switch to using it as a first layer and finding something loose to go over it. I really like the appearance and weight, but it should have been styled as a full button-down.

The grey color is nice, the fit is good and the fabric is soft. A little boxy by the waist but overall a good casual shirt.

I really like these pullovers. I bought one (dark grey) and I liked it enough to buy another one a few weeks later. The second one I bought was the chickory (dark red) color--I really like the contrast color trim. I'd buy a third if that coral-y/tomato-y red color comes back! These add a nice layer of warmth if you're outside, but I can also wear one comfortably indoors all day without getting too hot, even with a flannel shirt underneath. I will say I have noticed a little bit of pilling of the threads and pulled stitching. I hope these end up being durable.

I really like the weight of the fabric and the colors. One issue I have with the pullover is the front pouch. The top of the pocket is not stitched to the garment so if you put anything of weight (I.e. your cell phone or keys) in the pocket the pocket lining stretches and ends up hanging below the waist line of the garment. I would love to have this fabric available in an xxs, full front zip, with no hood. That would make me very happy.

Love this pullover. Super lightweight and comfy, fits pretty true to size and got the raisin color, I love it. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the backing for the pocket is super thin, so if anything is in the pocket it hangs out below the hem. Even just my keys. Overall though, I love it!

I purchased the storm blue color which is a really pretty shade of green. I love the light weight feel of this pullover. Perfect for a cool summer night. I like the front kangaroo pocket and the contrast piping. With that being said, the petite XS is very small. Very short in the body and the sleeves are too short as well. It falls just at the waist line, right around my belt. The sleeves hit just above my wrist bone when my arms are at my side. When I lift my arms the sleeves are a good inch or more above my wrist bone. The fabric from the kangaroo pocket also hangs down and you can see it peeking out from under the pullover. Otherwise, I like this top enough that I wear it at least once a week and would definitely purchase another one...I would just be sure to size up.
