Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Airlight Knit Pullover

Love the color and style. Length can be an inch longer.

Purhased this for a recent trip to Alaska. Great weight and warmth for a variety of weather conditions. The only complaint I have is with rhe lining of the front 'kangaroo' pocket. It was too thin and didn't hold simple things-like a cell phone or keys.without sagging out from the bottom hem. I think I could tack it up or pin it up, but it isnt a great look and it's not as if I wastrying to carry a lot of things in it. Other than that, I liked the garment and I actually saw a few other people wearing this and other iterations of this style on our trip.

I wish I could have kept this pullover. It was sooo lightweight, and I loved the light raisin color. The medium fit me great everywhere except the arms - the sleeves were far too short. From past experience I know that buying a Tall would have meant the entire pullover would be too large. Alas...

I like the feel and light weight of the garment. However it did not keep me warm when visiting cool windy New Hampshire last week. It was more like a shirt level of protection

I ordered this in a small originally but the sleeves were about 2 inches too long. I returned it for a petite small, and it fits great. I have not worn it yet but like the light weight fabric. Will take it to Europe in September. I would prefer it not have the L.L. Bean logo on the front --- no logo would be better.

Got this in Large, it's a little bit tight but I know the XL would be far too big so I'm keeping it. Very comfy, nice material. Thought it had front pockets but no, just a slot for warming your hands which I'd never do on a hike for fear I'd trip & fall on my face! Zippered pockets would be a nice upgrade on this, especially for the price.

Like this top a lot, but color was more orangey than the cherry red I was expecting. Should be good for sailing & walking as the Vt summer gets cooler.

I purchased this in the bright coral color, and I get lots of compliments. I do wish it were a little more form fitting in the waist, and I don't like the band at the bottom of the garmet, but otherwise I really enjoy this piece.

Fits well, comfortable, nice style. Thick decal with L.L. Bean Label on the front is a distraction, love the look other than that.

Nice fit and style but not so thrilled with the material. The horizontal ribbed texture is fine but the material itself doesn't seem to be clothing material. I still kept it in the Storm Teal and the Raw Indigo heather, would just have to wear a comfortable long sleeve layering shirt. Also, the pullover has a kangaroo pocket and the material used really stretches that's why it sags easily. You cannot even keep your hands in the pockets without the lining showing below the hemline.

Although I am normally a petite, I got this in a regular size because I like the sleeves to be a little long. Thin material makes layering easy. Nice and warm. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the colors are drab (except the red/orange one). Please make more feminine colors!!

This is a light top with a silky feel on the inside. If temp is in the 50's, I wear a light weight wool underlayer. The color is unique and love it. My only complaint is the llbean label on the chest area. Labels on the outside of clothes make me feel like a walking billboard. I think labels will become culturally pass. I am going to try removing it.

This pullover is lightweight and comfy. Not particularly warm and the fit is a little small. I am so used to everything being too big for me, so was surprised when this wasn't. A short sleeve tee fits easily underneath but would need to size up for something heavier. It is a little short in length - another inch would be better for me. Considered returning for a regular, but the sleeve length in the petite is good. There is some pilling with long stringy fibers on the exterior of the fabric after only two wearings, which I carefully snipped off. Too soon to know if this will be a continuing problem. The kangaroo pocket is unusable due to the lightness of fabric and garment would be better without it. The LL Bean logo is too big and loud. There are a lot of minor negatives, but I liked it well enough to keep.

You sacrifice something with respect to warmth and wind resistance to get breathability. It's not warm enough by itself for higher elevations, but It dries fairly rapidly if it gets wet and washes well on the gentle cycle.

I really like this top. It's just the right weight to wear while I am at work. the only thing I noticed was it is shorter than some of the other tops I've gotten similar to this one. I'm not sure if it's the way the material sits or washed but it would be nice if it was just and inch longer. Overall I am happy with the top and pair it with a longer shirt so that my belly doesn't show while I'm moving around.

The top fits well and is as described - breathable and able to keep you warm in mildly cool weather and cool in mildly warm weather. The material washes well. The material has a funny feel - catches on rough skin - will be watching how well it wears over time and with multiple washings.

I tend to buy extra large because I like to be able to wear another long sleeved top underneath. It's perfect to wear alone when there's a slight chill in the air but once it gets warmer it might be too warm. The blue color with contrasting trim makes it very nice. One fault I did find was with the kangaroo pocket, it tends to hang down below the shirt so I will need to take a stitch or two to hold it up. If other colors show up, I would like to buy another but in a large.

So many clothes today are styled to fit a tall, slender figure, not a somewhat chunky, dumpy one, and I was afraid this might be too slim a cut for me, but it fit well, not baggy or oversized, but not clingy. In general, I prefer LLBean clothes described as relaxed, not slightly fitted, but this was generous enough. I'm 5'4" but ordered a petite, as I prefer clothes that are a little shorter. I haven't worn it or washed it many times yet, so I don't know if it will "pill" as some people have said, but so far, I like it a lot.

I like the product and the color; the fit is true to size. It does seem to snag a bit but the fine threads pull out without damaging the shirt. I found it interesting that the care instructions were printed in several languages, none of which was English.

Really nice fit, soft and comfortable

Like the look and fit. Color choice blue indigo and textured fabric a plus. Great when fleece too much but you need another layer

The size was selected so I could wear something under it and that works. It is very comfortable and washed well. I wish it came in a full zip front style.

I have had my green one for a little over a year. I LOVE it so much that I bought three or four more colors. BUT...I just had to replace my green one because three holes were burned in it standing at my cooktop. This will melt if you wear it near a campfire and embers land on you. It's smelly and happens in an instant.

I love how light it is and keeps you warm. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is some threads pulled out. I have not been able to see where they came from.

I hesitated to order this because it's described as "slightly fitted." I can't wear anything that's fitted, and hated when LLB switched offering nearly everything with this fit. But it's loose enough for my requirements, (and not nearly as fitted as what's showing in a photo with it being worn by a model. And for once, the sleeves aren't too long. But I despise the glaring logo sewn on to every garment now, and wish they'd go back to embroidering a color-coordinated logo into the fabric, if they have to force us to advertise for free when we've paid for the products we're wearing. Also, I wish they'd design some of these types of shirts with something other than that stand-up collar. The older one gets, and the more gravity sets in, the less comfortable these necklines become. There should be a choice!
