Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Airlight Knit Pullover

I hate to complain. I received the Burgundy color in Tall XL as a gift! I'm appreciative of the arm length and body length as I'm a tall gal at 6 feet. (Wish LL Bean sold more tall merchandise). I sport a shirt under but I'm still cold. I prefer the LL Bean full zip "sweater fleece" which I own in blue and the "pullover sweater fleece" in a light gray Heather. Those are my "go to" New England winter warm pieces.

Purchase the Bold Aqua Heather, super color but it felt like I was a sausage in it. Needed to have husband get to help getting over my head. Might have gotten the proper size but did not fit like all my other Bean purchases. With a sigh need to return and look for something else.

Bought 2 of these in different colors/sizes. One Large and one Medium. Initially, the Medium fit better than the Large but once I washed it (delicate/cold water) and hung it to dry, I noticed it shrank a lot. Too fitted in the middle and arms way too short now. Sad because I can't wear it anymore and I just purchased it. The Large is ok. Also, the material is 100% polyester so it doesn't "breath" well and makes me really hot.

Ugh this is SO CLOSE to perfect, but ... not. The fabric is lovely--super soft and perfect for those slightly cool days. But I'm 5'8", and it's like four inches too long on me (and I got the regular size, not the tall). Everything else about the fit is perfect (shoulders, arms, etc). But the real killer is that the bottom of the kangaroo pocket is at the very bottom seam of the shirt. So if you put anything in it (like, you know, a phone), the pocket hangs below the bottom of the shirt, which is even weirder given the length of the shirt. If they updated the length and fixed the pocket problem, I'd absolutely buy this again because it's otherwise excellent. But if you're looking for tunic length and only want to use the pocket to keep your hands warm, you might love this.

It's definitely super light. I am used to the super thick and warms ones and thought this would be a slightly lighter version for fall. This is super thin and not what I was expecting.

I like this sweater, but the stitching on the sleeve cuff just started unraveling and I just bought it a few weeks ago.

The color faded after the first wash in cold water. I've two other air light knit pullovers and they have still retained their color after multiple washing. That said, the air light pullover is great for hiking when it's 50 degrees at the start of the hike. The air light pullover keeps one warm and cool and then crushes into a small lightweight bundle for a backpack.when it starts to get really warm. Please work on quality control.

This sweater is lovely, with one major flaw, the waistband is made to be fitted. While this flaw is not uncomfortable, it is not doing anyone any favors! I returned and will be looking for a different style.

I really likede style with the kangaroo pocket. It fit well and the color was great. But I knew it would not take long before it was full of pulls. Like others commented, the fabric is the kind that will pull and snag easily. I really wanted to keep it but knew it would look terrible way too soon.

Very comfortable top for this cool spring. However, the construction of the collar didn't show the usual quality of your garments. The seam at the snap tape is off by 1/4 inch. Due to the cool weather, I didn't return it.

A beautiful soft top, Great color, but if you are looking for warmth, this is not the sweater for you. Good for a light breeze, but for those of us outdoors, no so. Advertised as surprisingly warm, but I did not find it to be warm at all. Will keep because the color is just gorgeous. (Blue)

Went with the Petite since Regular was too long over my hips. Probably should have bought regular since sleeves are now way too short when my arm is bent. Will end up using this in the summer only because wrist gets cold otherwise. Would also prefer a full zip, no hood style to wear under a jacket in the winter.

I got this bc a friend has several of them. It ran big, it was ok, only ok. The wash by hand on the label was the deal breaker. Its on its way back.

Although labeled as "slightly fitted," I found the pullover shape rather boxy. The mulberry color is muted compared to the online photos which I didn't care for. Depending on your fit and color preference the top may work for you.

I absolutely love the color, style and fit! Unfortunately the material snags super easily. First wear and I had to stitch up a snag already. If the material/quality was different/better, maybe this wouldn't be an issue.

For a petite, it's longer in the arms and wider at the waist than I would have expected. I'm 5'3", and would not think I'd have to be rolling up sleeves on a petite! The color and material is nice, and I'll keep it, but was hoping for something I'd feel great in.

I received this pullover in another color as a gift, and liked it so much I ordered another in a different color. Unfortunately, the same pullover in a different color was sized differently, that is, the sleeves were wider and longer and the pullover length was longer. Thinking that there had been an error made in the making of this particular pullover, I returned it and ordered another one. I was disappointed that the replacement I ordered was also sized larger. Needless to say, I was very disappointed that the same pullover in the same size but different colors were sized differently.

This was my third purchase of this item.All are size L but all 3 are different sizes but all are marked L.

Returned, bought as a gift. Recipient did not like he feel of the fabric.

thin material - returned this item , just wasn't what i thought it would be

It's small for a Plus size item. Needs to be longer.

Definitely "air light". Felt to be equivalent be equivalent warmth to a decent long sleeve T. Was looking for something warmer, so it was returned.

I sent this back because it was way too big. I found a different fleece pullover so I didn't try to re-order this shirt. Other than that, I didn't really love the feel of the fabric, though if it had fit I probably would have kept it anyway. For reference, I ordered a medium (my usual size) and the shirt hit below my butt and the sleeves came down almost to my fingertips and it was wide as well. Felt like an extra large rather than a medium.

More fitted than expected but quality and look are great. Very well made and comforting. would like to have more color options

Sizing is difficult, fabric was not as soft as I had wanted. I have trouble with arms being too short on Ll bean products, so I tried the tall M- it was very voluminous in the middle so I ultimately decided to return. Wish LL bean had a fit for me.
