Everything about the fitness fleece has changed. Why? The shape is completely different. It's now boxy and ill fitting. The worse change is the fabric. I am so disappointed. It feels cheap, light and uncomfortable, like it won't keep me warm. This is usually an automatic buy for me, I wear them layered all winter and am completely warm and comfortable. But this version is going back. I will not be buying in the future if it remains this way.

I want to add to other comments about the negative change to the fabric. I have worn this shirt for years and the new fabric is awful. LLBean...this isn't what I expect from you.
I have bought these tops before. They not only aren't the same quality, they no longer come in Plus sizes. In fact, a lot of things that used to come in Plus sizes no longer do. I probably can find an equivalent in another brand. I need only one size up from the XL. What's happening to LL Bean? I'd rather pay a little more to get better quality.
This top once came in petite sizes. I'm 5'2" and 118 and the XS is perfect. I don't mind the longer length. As others have stated, the fleece has gotten cheapened along the way. No longer is it yummy on the inside as well, but it is still a comfy top for me and it looks great for running errands to heading to hot yoga class. I used my $10 coupon which makes the price not hurt so much knowing it isn't as good as it was.
