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

I love this jacket. It is warm enough to wear with a light layer and be warm for my walk when it is in the 20's. Fit is right on. Love it!!

I love this pullover. It is so easy to throw on and isn't too warm but is perfect for Midwest fall and spring. Actually it has worked well for most mild winter days too. I get lots of compliments on it. I am 5'4" and wear a petite medium.

I love this pullover anorak! It's actually very warm, as we are having an extraordinary cold winter here in NH!I just throw this jacket on, and it's all I need to stay warm! As far as sizing goes, I purchased the medium, as that's the size I would normally wear, and it has plenty of room, even if I wanted to wear a sweater or sweatshirt underneath. Do yourself a favor and buy this jacket! You will not regret it! It's an LL Bean, after all, so you know it'll last you for years to come! What have you got to lose!

Minnesota weather requires layers and I'm not a fan of bulky outerwear. So happy to have found this anorak that is much like one I had in the 80s. Feels a little retro! Lightweight warmth and a comfortable loose fit (but not sloppy). At 5'3" and 130 lbs, size petite medium is perfect for me.

This is my favorite item in a long time. Feels wonderful, looks even better. I'm very happy with this jacket!

I would buy this again and again...if I needed to! Great light weight yet warm pullover that I use for cross country skiing several times a week!!! It fits beautifully and is SO comfortable. LOVE it!

This is the perfect weight pullover! I am spending a chilly Spring Break hiking with my sons. This jacket is light and comfortable. I LOVE the zip pocket inside the front pocket, perfect for phone and keys. It blocks the wind well. I am looking forward to wearing it on a trip overseas!

I am happy with the pullover. I wear it quite often to walk the dog. I like that the zipper goes halfway down (I can cool off if I need to), and I like the roomy front pocket with the key pocket. I can put a leash, treats, and poo bags in there. What I like best of all is the hood: With the hood up and the pullover zipped, it covers my chin. It's not as thick as I expected it to be but that's not an issue for me. I am 5' 3" and weigh 125. I purchased the XS. It fits nicely over several layers.

I absolutely love this jacket. It reminds me of one I had years ago but updated. Love the "vintage" LLbean logo on the chest, the color (navy), the kangaroo pocket (which has a zip pocket inside for your cell or keys). I get compliments on it seemingly every day. I usually take a small from LLBean and I found this true to size. Fits well, not too loose or too fitted... it's just right. Highly recommend. I guess my only "complaints" are I wish there were more colors available. Also it would be nice to have a hood that could be zipped away. I'm not a huge fan of hoods that always stay out. Other than that it's perfect.

Great jacket! I read multiple reviews about the jacket not having a zipper pocket-there is in fact a small zipper pocket located inside the larger pocket which is great for storing small items! I typically wear a small and found this jacket ran a little big so I ordered down a size and still have plenty of room to layer.

I love this jacket. I bought a Medium and the fit is great. I normally buy petite but tried the medium regular in the store and liked the fit. I like that it is a little longer. Now, I would really love if there was a zippered pocket. This feature would be very helpful for protection of phone or wallet. The lack of a zippered pocket is my only complaint. I bought the dark blue and the color is great.

This winter Anorack is exactly what is promised - lightweight and warm enough to serve as my winter coat, as long as I have a fleece layer underneath for colder days. When exercising, it has blocked the wind just fine. Do not wear this in rain or wet snow - absorbs the water rather quickly. Also, many people have complimented the looks of the jacket.

I had seen the Katahdin Insulated Pullover in a preview of items to come soon and loved it, so I stalked the website until I saw that it was available! As soon as it was, I placed my order and have not been disappointed! This was just as expected. I wear a medium or large (depending on style) in LL Bean. I chose to order a large because I wanted it to fit over layers. This size worked out great. I can fit a sweater or sherpa pullover under it and it is super warm and not too tight, but I have also worn it with a T-shirt only and it wasn't too big either. (It can be cinched to make it tighter if wearing light layers.) I ordered the solid navy color and am happy with the look of it. PrimaLoft is all the rage right now and now I can see why; it is warm with very little bulk. The insulation in this pullover is just the right amount, and the quilting pattern for the insulation adds a nice touch versus a plain anorak/hoodie. I have only worn it for "daily activities" so far, but I could see this as a great piece for vigorous outdoor activities in cool weather, such as running, snowshoeing, etc. Highly recommend!

I ordered the medium and it fits true to size, maybe a little extra space in the stomach area. Warm for the thickness of the pullover. Great for putting underneath a larger coat as well. I love this pullover so far!

I love the thinner LLBean Anorak pullovers that are perfect for spring & warmer weather. I found the insulated pullover to be similar & great for colder weather. The blue color is great! I'm very happy with this purchase!

I love this pullover! I was having a difficult time finding a 1/4 zip insulated pullover. This is exactly what I was looking for. Fit is perfect and the fact that it has a hood is an added bonus! My only complaint is that I wish it came in more colors!

I purchased an XL in Red Currant and it is quite roomy. I have rather broad shoulders so I'm glad I can move around in it quite easily. I wear it as a simple coverup when on my way to my fitness studio and also wear it with layers underneath as the temperature continues to dip here in NC. I've gotten a lot of compliments on the look of it as well as the color.

Very comfortable, wore it indoors was good, didn't overheat, was outside to perform some light yard work, was able to move with ease and garment breath so didn't get too warm

Fabric seems thin but was warmer than I would've expected given the thinness. I'm in Virginia and it's great for a cool early Spring walk or watching a windy soccer practice at dusk. I am big-chested (5'5", 165 lbs) and a Medium is roomy enough for me to wear over a sweatshirt. Somehow the color seems more green and less aqua than the photo appears, but I don't mind as I love green anyway. Your hands meet in the middle inside the front pocket, but there's a little hidden zipper pocket in there too so your keys don't slip out.

good for windy and rain walks with my dogs. I usually wear a medium and the medium fits fine with a sweater underneath. Could be improved with side pockets instead of kangaroo style.

I don't love the sleeves. Would prefer a banded type and a little longer length.

Zippered pocket does not fit my iPhone 15! I bought this to replace a very used Pantagonia 1/4 zip hooded jacket. It has a large zip pocket on front of slide-in open hand pockets. I read this pullover too had a zip pocketit's incredibly small thoughpossibly keys could fit but not useful to me. I appreciate gathered wrist bandswaist draw strings & hood!

I'm 5'2" and 103 lbs. I used the size calculator and it said petite XS. Since I like my jackets longer, I ordered regular XS. I'm swimming in it. It feels like a M. I think even XXS would be too big on me. Unlike the photo, the jacket is very wide and boxy. I'm returning it for XXS and praying it's a lot smaller.

I am ready to order this terrific pullover. Everything about it looks wonderful. The fit, the fabric, the color choices. But that LABEL! I am getting good at snipping the threads with my embroidery scissors, but how tedious. I'm hesitant to order, knowing I will have to remove that label.

Slightly fitted and runs small so size up. Perfect for Spring or fall. Due to it being fitted you can't layer it without it being too tight. Not very long hits just below hip.
