Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Waterfowl Sweater

Great quality wool sweater, well made with nice design features on the arms and shoulders. Worn under a coat in fierce winter winds in the Blueridge Mts this past week it was a god send, great insulation and looked good with a shirt out for a meal too. Unlike most modern fabrics safe to wear round the fire in the evening.

I saw the waterfowl sweater in the catalogue and knew immediately that I wanted one. I read sizing in the catalogue and ordered accordingly, large. When the sweater came, it was huge; then I ordered a medium and the size fit perfectly - the sweater is outstanding: great looks; perfect fit; warm for cold weather (I live in Chicago); better than I expected and precisely LL Bean traditional quality of excellence. You will love yours , too!

Very warm and comfortable, cut to accommodate layers underneath. No scratchiness for this user, but that's with wearing a long-sleeve tee under. Great as an outdoor layer for chilly fall and spring days, and have even worn it out this winter on milder days instead of a light jacket. Looks great! Although this sweater purposefully runs a little big and baggy, it was mostly true to LL Bean sizing. Did not have to size down.

I bought this sweater to replace some older woolrich sweaters. This garment is much nicer than my woolrich sweaters. The sweater is dense and a bit on the heavier side, in a good way. If your looking for a quality sweater look no further than this one. Plan on buying another soon.

I just want to say up front, that these sweaters are outstanding! Built really heavy, however, order DOWN one size, as they run extremely large. I'm 5'9", 175lbs., and I ordered a large, which is what I wear in just about everything. I could have accepted the large, knowing that I'd be layering, but the neck did not fit good and snug, like I prefer, so I returned them for a medium. I'm sure they will be fine...

The dense weave makes the sweater quite warm, without being bulky. The zipper makes it easy to close the sweater at the neck for extra warmth when outdoors. I liked it so much, I now have two.

Warm sweater, fits well. Quality appears to be excellent. Will be interesting to see how it holds up long term.

This the nicest, most handsome, and warmest LLBean sweater I have purchased. It fits, feels and looks great.

I wasn't sure about it when I bought it. Never been very happy with wool sweaters. But needed something warm. I have been very happy with this sweater ever since. I wear it all the time. Yes, it's a little bigger than most, but that makes it even more comfortable.

Wear it all the time,fits and wears well, very warm and easy care. I'm a long time LLBean fan.

I've used this sweater two hunting seasons now and have been able to use it as my outer layer during two years of Kansas Christmas Pheasant Hunts (28-45 F) as well as on the clay range. It has been warm and flexible, allowing an easy gun swing. Fit is generous enough as an outer layer. This is definitely a working sweater and if you're looking for an "urban outdoorsman" look, you might need to look elsewhere because it, thankfully doesn't have that fit!

I purchased this sweater for myself and I'm very happy I did. This sweater exceeds my expectations as a sweater for casual wear (wore to church for Christmas Eve) as well as for outdoor activities. Planning to wear it elk hunting next year in the Cascades of Washington state. Well made, comfortable, heavy and tight knit. I loved my "wooley pully" sweater as a Marine and this sweater will be better as my go to for staying warm with the rest of my gear. Color of choice was loden....good color.

Wearing a six year old one now, broken in, "daily driver".Layers nicely over long sleeve cotton tee or merino base layer. Zippered high collar keeps cold November drizzle from running down your back. Still performs as intended, warm and comfortable. Have a newer one as well.

Not much else to say. It is especially well-made and very heavy. I will definitely be ordering a few more. It is very comfortable and it looks great. Buy wool - forget fleece.

I recently purchased this sweater for my brother. He is hard on his clothes. This sweater is a tight knitted wool with a heft to it. It is good for cold weather and can be worn well over several layers (tee shirt,Henley,flannel shirt) without looking bulky. It has not been washed yet. I cannot attest to how it will hold up after washing as per instructions. It does the job it is meant to do, while holding its shape throughout the day. The navy looks good with almost anything. While it is not fitted, it is not baggy either. I purchased his usual size which is S Regular. He is 5'9'' and is slender.

I purchased this item plus 2 others... a plaid flannel shirt and a quarter zip fitness fleece as a gift for my son. He loves all items for the fit, quality and look.

I'm 5'9 195 and the Large is the right size for my frame, Very warm

Bought 1 for myself for Christmas and loved it so much I bought another. The color was not as shown on the light gray (Sable?) maybe - looks light gray online but in reality it was more of a light rust color. Not great but it was so comfortable and warm I decided to keep it. Took a chance on a second one, the green one, and that was exactly like the picture shown. I wear them all the time. Very soft wool, very warm and I know the quality is there so it will last for years. Kind of on the expensive side but I will easily get 10+ years out of these things. For fit - I got a large. I am 6'0", 215 and wear a 44 long jacket and the large was absolutely perfect.

I bought this sweater for my husband for his birthday, and it's safe to say that it was an unqualified success! The fit is exactly right, the sweater is well made with heavy weight wool. This is one of those sweaters that will last many, many years.

Great fit and love the warmth it provides

Style meets warmth! An excellent sweater that provides the warmth of a jacket in a stylish manner. Perfect for 50-60 degree days. Fit is true to the sizing chart, LT is a perfect fit for 6'1" male. My new go to sweater for cool AZ evenings!

I use this sweater primarily for waterfowling and other outdoor activities and it is great. Thick, warm and durable with room for movement if you wear a shirt or base layer underneath. I highly recommend it.

This is the third waterfowl sweater I have purchased for my partner - he wears them to death, no easy feat. They look smart and I love how they lined the neck with soft fabric to minimize itch.

I purchased this wool sweater for my husband; ordered 2xl Tall and it fit perfectly. It is hard to find a wool sweater in Tall sizes so I was very pleased to find it at LL Bean. Recommend this sweater to future buyers.

I bought this sweater for a gift for my Dad and he LOVED it. I mean he was delighted. I got him the blue one and it looked great on him. It's a very nice sweater and I think a bargain for the price. We were a happy family this year for Christmas!
