Let $X$ and $Y$ be connected smooth manifolds. Let $L$ be a topological real line bundle over $X\times Y$. Then we know that the isomorphism class of such a line bundle is determined by its first Stiefel-Whitney class $w_1(L)\in H^1(X\times Y,\mathbf{Z}/2\mathbf{Z})$.

I would like to have an example of a nontrivial line bundle $L$ with (so $w_1(L)\neq 0$), such that

(1) $\forall y\in Y$ we have $w_1(L)|_{X\times\{y\}}=0\in H^1(X\times\{y\},\mathbf{Z}/2\mathbf{Z})$.

(2) $L$ is not the pullback of a line bundle over $Y$.

I don't see how to construct such a line bundle. May be there is some trick using Kunneth's formula.

non Non-trivial topological line bundles over cartesian product of manifolds not coming from a pullback  

Let $X$ and $Y$ be connected smooth manifolds. Let $L$ be a topological real line bundle over $X\times Y$. Then we know that the isomorphism class of such a line bundle is determined by its first Stiefel-Whitney class $w_1(L)\in H^1(X\times Y,\mathbf{Z}/2\mathbf{Z})$.

I would like to have an example of a nontrivial line bundle $L$ suchwith $w_1(L)\neq 0$ (non-trivial), such that

(1) for all $y\in Y$ one has that$\forall y\in Y$ we have $w_1(L)|_{X\times\{y\}}=0\in H^1(X\times\{y\},\mathbf{Z}/2\mathbf{Z})$.

(2) but   $L$ is not the pullback of a line bundle over $Y$.
