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

Warm and comfy- I love it!

This is my new favoritenice and roomy, and long sleeves (which I love). The purple color is beautiful! It's cozy and warm...I'm definitely ordering more :-)

Lovely color--the Antique Gold is perfect for fall--and the other colors were tempting also! I would suggest sizing up if you want to wear a sweater underneath--I ordered my usual Small, and it fits best over a lightweight layer. Arms are about an inch too long. The material is thick and soft. It has a hidden pocket within the kangaroo pocket that closes with velcro--a nice addition. I washed it in warm and hung it to dry--looks fine--so I can't say if it would shrink in the dryer.

Love the color, material is soft, hoodie is warm, nice and roomy front pocket, and full hood which keeps my neck and head warm..practically perfect in every way. I wish it would be longer through the body so my rear would be covered and warm.

So comfy and just the right amount of oversized (roomy more like). Warning go over a few times with a lint roller after the first wash! I think it will improve over time, but shed a lot at first. Improved substantially after using a lint roller a few times!

I loved the orange adobe color in the photo but when I opened it, the color was more like a mustard yellow/orange. I'm still keeping it bc it fits nice. The sleeves were a little long but I just folded them over. It'll be great for walking the dogs once it cools off. The length is nice, too.

Cozy top for cool weather. The blue is pretty, and the fit is generous and comfortable for layering. The fabric is soft and fluffy, but has a synthetic quality that I'm not sure i like, but it washes and dries well!

Love the fleece hooded pullover but...the red color is not a blue red it's an orange red. It's not very attractive. I kept it because it was so comfy, though I should have returned it.

Beautiful color (amber), well made, and lightweight, yet cozy. Fits as expected (L, and I normally wear size 12-14). I took one star off because the LL Bean patch detracts aesthetically from the pullover. I don't mind when an item features, in a way that is unobtrusive, a name or insignia, but this ain't it. I'm told that I could get something from the fabric store to remove the threads, but if it doesn't work, I am stuck am now shopping for a pin that will look nice and cover the patch without being so heavy that it will pull on the fabric. Why, oh why? I see similar feedback from others.

This was well made but it was too thick and stiff. I also had to check to make sure I ordered a women's hoodie, because it was so big on me, especially the sleeves.

Comfortable, great color, good for the chilly mornings when Spring arrived.

This is a great pullover for cold weather. It's snug to put on, but fits great once in place. I'd give it 5 stars if the sleeves were about an inch shorter. But better too long than too short.

Cuddly and with an oversized fit, it's great to snuggle up by the fire

I'm 5'4" tall, weigh 125. I ordered a small. It's a little big on me and still looks good. I ordered the marine blue and it is a duller color than the online photo. I like the hidden pocket in the pouch. I'll get a lot of use out of this top.

Overall it is a nice top. The black color is more a charcoal gray then actual black. The inside pocket is a nice touch, just wish the material for that pocket was made of a more sturdier material.

The fleece was good quality, fabric was thick enough. I returned it as even petite was too big for me. It would be better with some type of elastic at the end of the sleeves.

True petite of heavyweight fleece, hood is small enough, kangaroo pocket holds large mittens

The Katahdin Fleece is so comfortable, I don't want to take it off. Sizing is right on with an ample, relaxed fit so you can layer. The kangaroo pocket isn't bulky and keeps your hands warm. Bean has always had the best fleece in my opinion. I will definitely purchase another color, or maybe two. Thank you.

Love the color, the thickness (super cozy and thick) the fit of the hood and body. Took one star off because the sleeves are so long, 2 extra inches for me. Usually petite sleeves fit me well. Love the 1/2 zipper and pouch too. Easy to get in and out of. I will be spending extended time out in winter, I feel confident I can be warm with this fleece, in combination with Bean Anorak Insulated Jacket, even in below zero....yay! Thank you Bean, this is the kind of quality item that I have so appreciated from you over the years!

I bought one of the Kathadin fleeces last year. It's not a flattering piece of clothing but it's very comfortable and I love wearing them around the house / yard on my days off just to stay warm and cozy, the slightly oversized hood is great for naptime too! I am S in most brands but went with a Medium both years which leaves some room for layering. The sleeves are nice length, i do feel like the Kathadin runs a bit larger than last year though.

Little big. I normally wear a medium top. Should have ordered a small. Lighter weight than I thought. Otherwise it's a cozy top.

Bigger than expected but still fits great. Would buy again.

Warm with hood & can wear layers under it, giving it 4 stars. However the generous & shapeless cut is not flattering, at least for me (with all due respect, a "plump-marshmallow" look).

I wish there were zippered pockets in this pullover.

I ordered this as it looked really warm. I like the half-zip and it's roomy but still slightly shaped. The only thing I don't like is the inside of the pockets. The velcro tab doesn't feel good on my hands and the pocket would feel so much nicer if it were also fleece. I am keeping the ivory pullover but am not sure if I'll keep the other two that haven't arrived yet mainly because of the pocket.
