Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Airlight Knit Pullover

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.

This pullover has a nice color, but the fabric and the cuffs are flimsy .

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

I bought this pullover in November, 2025 and compared it to the same Bean pullover I bought in 2020. The new one is thinner, just not the same quality. I feel disappointed that the quality went down.

LL Bean, please tack down the pocket pouch on this pullover. The men's pullover pocket does not hang loosely like the women's pocket. I returned the women's pullover and purchased a men's so I do t have that extra fabric hanging around where I don't need any "extra"!

I have this in other colors but was disappointed for the first time with LLBean products because the sleeves are extra wide for some reason

I usually wear a small and I swam in this pullover. Am going to try a size down. Like the weight for spring and summer.

I see people wearing these all the time but I found it lighter weight than I expected and a very weird feeling fabric. Will give it a try in the spring.

It looks good, but not warm at all and I don't like that it's 100% polyester. Overpriced for the quality.

My husband and I purchased the air light pullover at the same time. He loves his and wears frequently. I am hot/cold with my pullover. The unsecured pocket material is very annoying and drapes in an unflattering way. I recently noticed that my husbands pocket material is secured at the chest seam. I'm wondering why the women's version is loose and draping?

My bad I did not read the description so I thought I was getting a fleece and not polyester, but made well and warm.

Didn't care for the material on this jacket. Returned it.

My mom liked the color but the fabric was thinner than I expected .

This was a comfy sweatshirt offered in several bright colors. It is lightweight but soft and warm. I would prefer a zip pull on the collar rather than the plastic snap placket but it's nice enough.

I love the color combo but was a little disappointed. The Airlight shirt really is very thin. I guess I was expecting a thin fleece weight but this is much thinner. Maybe it'd be a good running or skiing shirt but I felt cold in it. Also the chest/armpit area is too big for an XS. (34 inch bust).

I do love the fabric! But it has stretched out after wearing and washing it many times in the last month. I wish I had bought a smaller size. Disappointed.

Loved the color and style. Unfortunately the wrong size was shipped to me. I ordered a Reg Large and a Tall Large was sent to me. Returning it. I notice llbean indicates my standard size is 'Tall'. That is not accurate. Maybe 20 years ago, but not now in 2024.

I wanted to like it but the sizing is way off. I don't mind oversized pullovers but I ordered this in a Medium and it fit like a Mens Large. It did have a balloon looking fit and was too big all over including the arms. The black is a faded black color with contrasting jet black trim.

D This was my second Airliigtht pullover top and was much larger than the first which bought a year or two ago. I t was so sloppy that I gave it away.

A little small on the bottom for a Pooh sized girl but I like the fabric

I really wanted to like this. But it's not as warm as I was hoping for it to be. I live in Nor Cal with mild winters but gets chilly at night. This wouldn't be warm enough to wear for a chilly night. Sadly will return.

I bought this along with a few others in different colors. Washing as directed and not once has ever hit the dryer. Taking it out of the wash, the bottom is hanging off. Since the return policy is not as good as it used to be, I cannot return.
