Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Katahdin Insulated Pullover

Love this Primaloft pullover! I normally "run" hot, and tend to get sweaty quickly when out walking/hiking, so I wanted something light that would keep me from getting chilled and keep me from overheating. This Katahdin Primaloft pullover works perfectly for me. I did order up a size so I could layer up and not look like a stuffed sausage. ( I usually wear an XL and bought a 1Xthose extra inches help!) I've worn it for hiking in 25-30 degree, drizzly weather and stayed quite comfortable, even when sweatyit breathes wonderfully. My merino base layer and polyester mid layer get soaking wet, but the Primaloft layer really keeps me from chillingHood is great when the wind kicks up. The hidden zip pocket inside the kangaroo pocket is good, could be just a little bigger to hold my phone AND inhaler. The kangaroo pocket is fully accessible from either side, which is great when you only have one free hand to get into your pocket to retrieve a glove. Wish it was just a little longer to cover my backside better, but over all this one is a great addition to my hiking gear. I bought the dark blue with raspberry trim and that combo works well for me.

This is a great lightweight piece that will keep you warm without adding bulk. Would be a 5/5 however as a long torso girl it is a bit shorter and a bit wider than I would like.

This jacket was able to keep me warm on two very chilly nights in Bethesda. It lived up to its features.

Love this pullover! Somehow it feels so light that I can wear it even in warmer weather and am comfortable. This is definitely a year round item for me living in the mountains of Colorado. I love it so much I got a second in another color! I'm a size 4, 5'3", 115lbs and the petite extra small still has plenty of room to wear anything I'd want underneath.

This is the perfect jacket! Not too thick but keeps you warm

I got this for a springtime trip to Norway next week. It will be a good lightweight pullover for tours and hikes.

Super light, yet warm and windproof, holds up well in a light rain. Fit is a bot roomy through the hips

Very lightweight, good wind resistance, good fit and good pockets. i like the hood too.

Perfect sizing, a great fit and warm too! I got one for my daughter and she loves it. I will be doing a light layer underneath and wear it for birding and walking in the cool Alaska spring and summer if need.

Super comfortable! Extremely lightweight yet unbelievably warm. I especially like the hood. Its unique design hugs close to your face and does not allow it to fly off your head when the wind blows.

I love this light weight jacket, it is perfect. I can pack it in my backpack, good for layering and keeps me dry and warm.

Great fit that's really comfortable. Perfect for in-between weather.

very comfortable petite large fits like medium, allows for sweater great color green

LOVE THIS Pullover!! Great Weight. Perfect for early Spring and fall. Like most anorak styled items - very boxy. I normally wear a 2X and ordered a 3X because it does run on the smallish side. Wish it was available this past fall and winter season. BUT can't wait to use it this coming year!

I like this Katahdin pullover, especially the half zip. Nonetheless, with no stretch, it is a little hard to get on and off. It is very warm over a T-nek and a lighter layer like the LLBean cotton/cashmere sweater or an Airlight. The band at the waist is perfectly flattering. The kangaroo pocket that is accessible from either right or left is sturdy enough so that my cell phone doesn't pouch out making an awkward outline.

Absolutely love this jacket. Just the right weight for this time of year with still cooler weather.

This is a great lightweight and attractive jacket. Got the green color and I love it.

I wasn't sure if I would like this, but the reviews were so good I thought I would give it a try. I am so happy I got this! It is light weight and very comfortable. Sizing is accurate. It fits with plenty of room but not baggy or boxy looking. I will probably try to get another in black when it gets cool again.

I have had this for over two years now, and I'm still always surprised how warm and windproof this pullover is. I live in the SF Bay Area where you can easily wear this year round. I've worn this on a windy cold summer day while walking around in the Marina District in SF, and I've worn it at night during overnight camping trips at Portola Redwoods Campground. I look forward to wearing it this summer when I got to Scotland in June.

This is my 2nd katahdin jacket; I felt I needed another color because I wore my original, green one so often! Needless to say, I ADORE this pullover jacket! It's lightweight yet very warm, and so cute! You won't regret this purchase!

Nice mid weight jacket for Fall and Spring- fits with some shape so looks more tailored. Love the sage green color . Good is a plus .

I bought this on a whim; it was on sale at the time. I'm glad that I did. It's lightweight but warm; comfortable but not bulky. It's great for being outdoors walking my dogs. I love the pocket and the zippered second pocket inside the first--nice feature. I'll be wearing this often, especially in the transitional autumn and spring seasons in WNY where you can experience all four seasons in one week! The hood is great too. A good purchase in a nice color green.

Lightweight and very comfortable. I want one in every color now.

I like the hood, roominess and wind stopping qualities in this jacket. I ordered a medium to fit over layers. It works perfectly!

I bought this as layering piece for a 5 week RV trip through the UK and Europe and it hasn't disappointed; it's the perfect layer! It works great with a t shirt, turtleneck or fleece and with a rain layer on top and a scarf at my neck I've been comfortable in every type of weather we've encountered.
