Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Airlight Knit Pullover

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!

I love this sweater and the color. It's very lightweight and comfortable- great layering piece. That being said and as many others said, I wish LL Bean would offer TALL sizes. The sleeves are a bit short and I wish the torso was longer.

Good fit and comfortable weight

I love this! I got the medium and it's perfect. Just roomy enough to pull on without looking sloppy. I got the raisin color and it's so unique and pretty. I actually can't believe how many people tell me I look pretty when I'm wearing it because I just feel so casual and cozy when I have it on. It's a nice weight to wear indoors because it really is "airlight" - its just enough of an extra layer to keep me comfortable in an air conditioned room. Other reviewers are right, the kangaroo pocket is "saggy" and can look a little sloppy, but I have only worn this with leggings and I'm not going for a dressy look when I have it on lol ... It doesn't bother me. I will probably get more colors.

This is such a comfortable shirt. Warm but lightweight. I have one in an XL and decided to order the 1X as I wanted it a little bit more roomy. However, when I held them up to each other, they appear to be the same size, and they fit the same. Unfortunately, I paid extra for the women's size.

I ordered the quarry gray and raw indigo colors. Very lightweight, lighter even than expected, but that's a good thing since I live in Florida. Sleeves are about an inch too long for me, but I can push them up. XL is roomy enough that I can layer over a t-shirt when needed. I agree with other reviews - the logo is TOO prominent. A smaller logo would be more appropriate on women's tops. Out of the package and on a hanger, the very loose kangaroo pocket hangs below the hem of the top, even with nothing in the pocket - Yuck! I like the tops otherwise, so I may try to tighten up the pocket fabric with a stitch or 2 at the top of the pocket.

This is a nice shirt. I ordered the teal and love the color. But why would you place a bright LLBean label right on the front of the shirt? I don't want to be a walking advertisement! Please eliminate these labels!

I just received my top. I like the color and fit. The back is a bit blousy, I hope the first wash will help that. I ordered a petite medium which fit well. Please LL Bean listen to your customer reviews. LOTS of reviews mention your logo, it's SO prominent! I really like my new top, just not such a large logo!

This product fit me well and is quite comfortable. Considering the lush looking texture it is very light. The fabric is unusual and took a little getting used to as it has a different feel than anything I've worn before. Handsome look to it.

The fabric, teal color and fit are all great. I immediately removed the logo by carefully taking out the stitches. You can't tell it was there. I did the same thing with my sweater fleece top. Bean, please stop adding your logo in prominent locations. I don't want to advertise a company. If someone admires an item I am happy to tell them where I bought it.

I've looked for exactly this style (light weight, kangaroo pocket, high collar, 1/4 zip or snap)) for ages so I was thrilled when I saw this in the catalog. It fits nicely and wears well. I'm not sure I like the horizontal lines in the fabric, but I can live with them. I'd prefer a lightweight woven fabric; I wish it came in better colors, and that the binding either matched or was darker . I bought the Indigo Heather, so it is fine, but I would NEVER buy one where the binding is lighter than the base color. I would like to see classic colors (navy, red, teal, forest green, burgundy, etc.) . . . these colors seem insipid. Overall, I really like it . . . just giving hints for future versions (I hope).

Finally Bean has made something that is actually tailored to fit women! Almost every women's sweater/fleece/light jacket seems to have a boxy fit that would look great if you were shaped like a toaster; this one actually looks great if you're shaped like a woman! Pretty colors, nice fit, soft and functional pullover - great as a top layer for a cooler day or a midlayer under a shell. Fits like most other Bean tops, a little roomy. I'm 5'9" size 10 and 36DD and the medium is roomy enough to wear over a baselayer. Two complaints, though... the sleeves could easily be 2-3" longer - they hit me about 2" above the wrist bone. You guys have GOT to start making your sleeves longer - they honestly feel like a petite! Also, the kangaroo pocket is not sewn in across the top so if you put anything in it the lining of the pocket droops below the outer material. Five stars for tailoring, comfort and color; one star for sleeve length and three stars for attention to detail on that kangaroo pocket.

The shirt is nice and soft and a lovely color blue. When it was buttoned up the trim under the chin was stiff and scratchy.

I loved the 2-tone colors (plum with lavender trim) but wasn't a fan of the lightweight material or texture. I felt this fabric would show pulls easily and not wear well long term. Fit was good, however, I returned it.

This material feels like its made from plastic bottles. Very lightweight, not for winter
