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.

Stylish Jacket

This is a great lightweight men’s jacket! Great for fall or spring or a layering piece in the winter. Super comfortable and soft.

Perfect jacket

Note: I am a 5'7" 138 lb woman who ordered a Men's Medium because the colors of the men's jackets are soooo much nicer than the colors of the women's ones. The sleeves are a bit long on me, but the fit is otherwise fine. I love this jacket. It has just the right amount of warmth, and it weighs nothing when I stuff it in my backpack. I recently took it on a 10-day camping trip, and I wore it more than any other garment I had with me. I can layer both under and over it, or wear it by itself. It also looks good enough to wear around town.

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.

Men’s Lightweight Full-zip

This a great lightweight zip up. Wear it with anything when I need something on a cooler summer day or night.
