Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Katahdin Fleece 1/2 Zip Hooded Pullover

Purchased this last year in two colors. Highly recommend for warmth and snuggliness. The 1/2 length zipper is perfect for cooling off when needed (better than 1/4 zip) IMO and makes pulling it off and on easy. Great roomy Kangaroo pocket. Wear as it is, or layer with turtleneck and or vest underneath or wear beneath a winter jacket for extra warmth. Hood is handy for cold or changing weather conditions. Would love to see a burgundy, deep green, chocolate brown, white or navy rotated in thru the years (with matching colored zippers). Sleeves are long enough to need to roll up.

I got this in the cream color. The weight is good. The bust is more fitted than I expected and have experienced in Bean products in the past, as such I would have done better with an XS size.. I have found XS to be too short in the sleeves, though, which is why I went with S. Nothing left to exchange, so will keep.

The fleece is dense and very warm. Fits well true to size ordered a medium. I had wished it had pull ties at the bottom to close it up but it doesn't. Otherwise a great warm top

Love this fleece. Got it for Christmas. True to size. The sleeves are long for more warmth. I hope LL Bean continues to make this fleece as the styling is sooooo much better than the regular fleece. Slightly fitted. Made like an anorak. Longer in back. Perfect.

This is my mid-layer for winter walks and play-time with my dog. It makes all the difference in me being warm outside. The fabric is soft and cozy. It fits perfectly.I wear a light wool or other layer under it. I like that it covers my torso and hips. The hood is warm and I can cinch and tie it closer to my head as needed. This is my new secret layering ingredient keeping me warm, even when it's windy or damp-cold outside. I love it!

This was soft and warm and very cozy!! It fit great!

Good quality, great for casual wearing.

Love everything about this fleece hoodie! Fits great and so happy that the sleeves are a bit longer like other reviewers noted. Nice and warm, will be perfect for wearing indoors and outside. The purple color is beautiful!

I had been looking for a new sweatshirt for working at home, and Iove this! Super cozy and I know it'll serve me well for errands, too, without being too technical for the couch. I'd say I'm between sizes, and have long arms, so I ordered my "up" size and it's perfect for a light layer underneath. Sleeves are plenty long. A great surprise was the cell pocket inside the kangaroo pocket, so it's a light meshy layer but still strong enough to keep it from drooping below the waist.

This hoodie is a nice heavyweight fleece. Super warm and comfy!

I bought this hoodie for my girlfriend and she loves it. She feels warm and feminine wearing the jacket and since the fleece is so soft, I stay warm hugging her!

This pullover is snuggly, warm, and I wish it came in more colors! The cut is generous, and I can easily wear a shirt under for layering if needed. Highly recommend!

Great fleece but they should also make it without the hood just like the men's one. Also the sleeves could be a little shorter. Very warm and soft.

Love this fleece. Wanted something comfy to wear in the house or outside and it has been great for both. Very cozy.

I love love love my fleece

I just love this fleece half-zip hoodie. I had the opportunity to wear it for the first time today. It was 48 degrees outside and I was hiking by a lake. The hood came in handy when the wind started blowing. I was wearing an L.L. Bean Henley underneath and was comfortably warm. As I hiked away from the lake shore and the trees provided some wind block, I was able to take off the hood and was the perfect temperature. The fleece is well made and at the top of the list of Bean favorites:)

Just what I was looking for - a versatile top layer that provides warmth and comfort. I'm generally between small and XS in tops, often opting for a small for more arm length and shoulder width. This was a loose fit through the shoulders so an XS would have worked. A bit boxy, so size down if between sizes. The small mesh pocket inside the kangaroo pocket is perfect to fit a phone so it isn't bouncing around when walking. Great detail!

I waited too long to order so the purple I wanted was no longer an option. I got the light blue which is fantastic but isn't purple... I am going to try to learn from this and buy another color before it's gone

I bought this for my sister as a gift. She loves it!! Beautiful color & fleece weight. I saw this in the flagship store and knew it was for her. Thanks LLBean!

Called Silver Blue, but Aqua to me...I love it...the fit is good, beautiful color, I like the pockets and a secret pocket on the right side. I have not washed it yet, but I think it will be fine.

I love this fleece hoodie. I got the Antique Gold color and received several compliments the first time I wore it. It's a great fall item ..... I paired it with distressed Jean's and boots. My normal clothing size is a 10. I could have easily worn a smaller size but I like my outerwear bigger.

This fleece pullover will be my new winter staple! It fits perfectly. It's not too bulky and has a nice shape. Its super warm and cozy too! I want to buy it in another color because is so good. The hidden phone pocket within the front pouch was a nice surprise. I had no idea that was there. Great feature! Highly recommend this pullover.

Quality product as I expect from LL Bean and I appreciate the gold color as a neutral. I elected to size up from my usual small to a medium based on reviews. In hindsight, the small would have been a better choice as the sleeves are a bit long and require rolling up. I'm still delighted with my purchase.

I love this hoodie! The fit is perfect and the material is very soft and very high quality. We've only had a few cool days since I purchased it, but when I put it on I was very happy. It is cozy and wonderful.

This hoodie is perfect for a fall day, comfortable and I love the color!
