Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Waterfowl Sweater

Apparently, father in law took it out of the mail, opened up the package and hasn't actually taken it off since. His wife says that he is crazy about it. I am happy about sending this as a Christmas present.

This sweater wins. Warm, thick, fits well. I usually wear an XL (just over 6', 190) and I ordered a Large, per many reviewers' suggestions , and it was the right move. I will now commence to live in this until late Spring.

I may never take this off. It's winter in Maine and this sweater is perfect for cold weather. The collar is lined and comfortable on the neck, the elbow of the sleeves are reinforced and the overall weight perfect for this climate. I also have a Guernsey sweater and this one is equal in comfort and weight.

By most sizing guidelines, I wear a Medium and this sweater's Medium is exactly right, at least for me. And the zip up collar keeps me nice and warm. layered under a parka, on very cold and windy days. A great sweater!

Love the quality and the delivery time after ordering from L.L.Bean! Received my order shortly after purchasing from your company.

I've had this for a couple of weeks now and have really enjoyed it. It's warmth matches up very well with my traditional Irish fisherman's sweater (which is high praise) and it's style and convenience make it as comfortable as my favorite "cheap" fleece pullover.

This is my husband's favorite winter sweater. It is the best one he has for cold weather, as it really keeps him warm. It fits well, holds it's shape, and is good-looking. It is suitable for a wide range of activities, from casual to dressy. It is well worth the price for the quality and durability.

The sweater was of the quality I expect from LLBean, which is why I continue to shop here. The wool was heavy, felt soft and durable and warm, and the zipper material was also high quality. Thanks for not dissappointing me.

This sweater is smart looking and warm. Very comfy too. My husband loves it. Worth the money on both the fashion and function sides! Just in time for the wintry season.

I spend my winters in Florida and football season in upstate NY. This sweater is so warm it saves me in the late season games. Think so well of it I just bought one for my son-in-law.

This is the most comfortable sweater I've ever owned. Had it sent to Denver, CO for a tour out West and wore it mornings and evenings just over a tee and days at high altitued over a long sleeved thermal tee. Sweater is soft and warm without binding or feeling stuffy. Loved the collar with the soft lining - could zip it up to keep out cold breezes or fold it down warmer areas.

Yes, i said Fun. my favorite Sweater ever!

A well made warm sweater. I received several compliments the first time I wore. Fit was good, large on my 180 pound frame. It should last for a long time judging from its construction. Only down side is it requires hand washing or dry cleaning.

This sweater fits well with room to wear a dress or spf shirt under. Other sweaters I've bought seem to baggy. And the wool is warm. You need a chilly day for this sweater.

I'm 6'4 200lbs and this sweater fits perfectly. Nice and warm and looks great.

I am very active outdoors with shooting, archery, fieldwork, hiking, etc. Always looking for well made sweaters that can stand up to our damp-to-soaky Wet Side winter weather. Women's sweaters tend to be foofy rather than practical, and many men's sweaters are plain ugly...but this one is an exception. Nearly each time I've worn this sweater, I've been asked about it. And the asker is always amazed to find out it's an LL Bean men's sweater. The fashion standard in this part of the world is Outdoorsy Geek, so I've gotten away with wearing this sweater with equestrian boots and a long soft skirt...to the opera. As well as with dance tights and hiking boots for robust city days. And of course in more foresty/seaside settings. It's versatile, cozy, soft, it moves well with activity, it makes an excellent layer under a wind shell, it's surprisingly rain resistant, and at the range, the slightly wider upper sleeve makes shouldering rifles (standing, bench, or prone) and drawing bow strings a snap--no pulling across the shoulders. This really is close to the perfect sweater!

Today, I bought my 3rd waterfowl sweater mostly out of fear they discontinue the model. This is the single best item I've ever purchased from LL Bean. One I keep more for dress but the other two are working sweaters. I spend most of October and November on the prairies of Alberta, Montana, and Idaho hunting huns and sharptails and when the prairie winds blow this sweater keeps me warm even in light rain. The merino wool is non itchy, light weight, warm when wet, and breathable when exerting. If the weather turns really bad, I just add a Bean windstopper vest. I can hunt and hike all day and never get cold and yet still have the mobility to swing and shoot effortlessly. The windstopper model sweater is too warm for most October days and makes me feel clammy. When I head north in the fall, the only indispensible items on the list are the dog, the gun and a waterfowl sweater-it's that good.

Extremely warm sweater that I actually bought for my wife, she liked mine so much she kept stealing it. Great for snow country and camping trips when the temperatures drop, or just walking down to the shops in the Winter.

This is one of the more functional items that I own that can also be dressed up a bit. I can toss it on over a dress shirt or casual shirts for going out or over a performance layer to work or play outdoors. Would not hesitate to wear this out fishing or as a layer on a hike. Already wore it in a pretty good snow and the wool does its great job of keeping you warm but breathing. Would not want the wind proofed version. It would defeat one of the purposes of wool. And personally I love that smell of real wool. Lets me know it is well---real wool!

Warm, rugged and fits comfortably with plenty of room for movement.

It's difficult to find good wool sweaters in the USA, but this is a good one. The only negative is that the points on the collar at the top of the zipper could be designed better so they are more comfortable.

The Waterfall Sweater is good looking. Above all it is 100% wool and this fact alone insures one that they will be comfortable and warm. Layering clothing is all well and good but this sweater by itself does the job. I don't plan on shooting fowl but I do plan on enjoying the warmth that the sweater offers during the toughest part of the winter!

This my favorite sweater! I have the blue and the green ones. The sizing is generous, which I especially like. The quality of the wool is very good..very little itching. The knit is quite tight, so it works well as a cool weather piece of outer wear. I can use it at temperatures down to about 40 degrees, colder if I use a vest. I have become a much bigger fan of wool lately...natural material with great properties.

I bought one as a gift for a friend with high-end taste. He loves wool, and this was a hit. When it arrived, I put it on. I wanted to keep it for myself, actually. Eventually I ordered one to keep. The blue was gorgeous, with the brown accent collar. I ordered a Loden for myself, and it's a really rich deep brown/green. Thick and warm, I don't want winter to end!

We bought six of these sweaters for our sons, sons-in-law and daughter's boyfriends for Christmas. The guys range from organic farmers to welders to projects managers to MBA's, and they all LOVE their sweaters! They can be worn at the office or out to play. These are superior sweaters, high quality and comfortable. I only wish I had a reason to buy more of these.
