Lightweight warmth and breathable performance in the Airlight Knit Full-Zip Regular Sweatshirt

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"This piece is a total sleeper hit. It feels weightless, but it cuts the chill just enough for cool mornings or post-run cooldowns. It layers smoothly under a shell and has enough stretch to move with you. Plus, the zip chest pocket is clutch for stashing a phone or key mid-hike."


When conditions change quickly and we need lightweight warmth that keeps up, we zip into the Airlight Knit Full-Zip Regular Sweatshirt. L.L. Bean designed this breathable midlayer with abrasion-resistant fabric, subtle stretch, and active thermoregulation to help us stay comfortable on the move. Whether we’re headed for the trailhead or tossing it on for morning coffee runs, it’s the piece we grab when versatility matters.


It’s light as air but packs in performance: moisture-wicking fabric, UPF 50+ sun protection, and quick-drying fibers keep us ready for wherever the day leads. A zippered chest pocket and Lycra binding at the cuffs and hem round out the thoughtful details that make this a go-to for layering in any season.

Great combination of style and function!

Good looking zip up fleece/sweater! The first time wearing it, I got a compliment! Just right weight for a chilly morning.

Lovely jacket for layering

Bought the jacket for a two-week trip to England in the fall. Wore it every day as the temperatures required layers. This was perfect for the job.

A mixture of satisfied and unhappy....

I've bought dozens of LL Bean clothing items over time. I bought the women's version of this shirt a couple of years ago. The sleeve and body length were both ridiculously short even on my short torso, 5'8" frame. However I liked the material and style so decided to try the men's version which does solve the length issues. It seems the men's version has only 4 snaps on it instead of 5, and it definitely makes the garment look cheaper and folds/adjusts much more awkwardly, while gapping open more than I'd like.

Happy purchase!

A think jacket that I can put it on when I feel a little cold in the morning or evening around 50-60F. Perfect one layer that makes me comfortable. Color is darker than I expected, but that’s ok. The chest pocket is zippered, which is nice. If they had zippers on two side pockets, that may be nicer. Overall I love it.

Perfect stylish layer!

Doing some back to school shopping for my kids and i spotted these colorful jackets and headed right towards them. Kids immediately loved the color options, the light material, the softness, the HOODS, and all the little details. Winner! My 9yo daughter picked her favorite and my son did as well. Seeing their happiness with their selections i wondered over to the adult area and found myself an Airlight, maybe a tad more mature in color lol!
