Customer Reviews Arc'teryx A2B Commuter Pants

These jeans fit great! I'm 5'4" and 125 lbs, and size 4 fit me perfectly. I walked to work in a light rain this morning and still dry! I haven't ridden my bike in them yet, but they seem like they will allow full movement. They look so great I'll be wearing them to a business meeting tonight. I'm getting the other color. If there were more colors, I'd get those also.

I keep getting complements on these pants - at work; at conferences; randomly on the street or on transit. More colours please!!! Navy would be fantastic. Love the cut but it could do with a bit higher rise, especially for riding. Please keep making this pant.

Best pants ever, the cut on them is wonderful now. The legs are nice and slim and tapered and make cycling an ease. The carbon colour works great as a work pant. Such an improvement over the previous version of these pants, like it is a world of a difference in how much better cut they are now.

These pants are really great looking and comfortable. The only drawback is a low rise, which I normally like, but when cycling a higher rise pant is better for covering my plumber's crack.

I searched everywhere for bike commuter pants that would be suitable for riding to the office and be acceptable attire there, and these fit the bill in both respects, although won't work for corporate boardrooms. They are sturdy, durable pants that are fantastic for commuting and hold their shape by the time you get to the office so you don't look totally rumpled and dirty. They wick moisture; roll up and have snaps to prevent getting caught in the chain; and have small reflective strips. They fit well and are super comfortable.

I have this pant in both colours. I wear them all spring and fall, on or off the bike. I have even worn them in a Montreal winter when there is no wind. They wash very well and dry quickly on a stand. Pockets galore make them very functional.And I love the reflective bits which give added safety when biking. Pricey, but well worth it.

Great pant - Comfortable, Stylish and Functional. Overall I give it 5 stars because on the market I think its the best there is. If I could change a few things; I would trim the leg of the pant to make it more form fitting instead of loose and frumpy and would also like to see it available in more black and/or off grey colours. Exceptional waist button and snap - I prefer buttons to the solely snap waists of some pants. Great hand and rear pockets but the side zip pocket is uncomfortable. When it's used stuff tends to rest and bang on the knee. I bought this pant as an everyday winter pant that was professional enough to wear to the office and warm enough for -10 to -30. It's not quite warm enough but it's the best option Arc'teryx seems to offer for a casual professional winter pant. Would love to see a thicker and warmer everyday pant. 5'9" 170lbs - Size 8 32" inseam - fits in the waist/hips but is loose in the legs

Lovely, stylish pant that will take you from the trail to the social scene. It is comfortable, stylish and I love the colour.

If I could get them in an inseam 2 in longer, I'd never take them off! They keep their shape well enough to wear to work, but they're just a little short- but easy to roll up, and look good "capri'd," so longer length and more colors!

I ordered the Carbon Fibre version of the A2B commuter pants after nearly wearing out the green version that I ordered a year ago. The fit is perfect, the stretch is just enough with perfect room for someone who actually does commute by bike and has the calves to prove it. I looked everywhere for a reinforced crotch similar to ones that you see on guys commuter pants and I was thankful that I ran across these pants with a small version. I liked the green color more than this one, but a dark pair of pants matches everything. The texture is somehow grittier than the green pair. The belt loop details and reflective elements are spot on. The fabric does dry quick and is thin enough to be comfy biking but also good quality. That being said, the first pair I had started tearing along the crotch lines (I did wear them & bike in them just about everyday) , I was hoping that these would at least be made well enough to prevent ripped crotch because all basic single seem crotch pants-jeans especially- are not made to withstand bike commuting day in and day out. The splitting is minimal and being that the seems are further from the center line this prevents saddle discomfort. The fit is awesome though, I am 5'2" 123 lbs and the size 4 are actually short enough for me and perfect, no plumber butt crack while also not too tight on my lower belly when I'm bent riding the drop bars or after I'm full from eating. Arc'teryx is a great brand, wish I could afford to buy so much more but yes they are pricey so I splurge with necessitates. Zappos was awesome as always, 1st and 2nd time around. With the green pair I ordered a 6 but it was a bit too loose, speedy returns and deliveries! Thank you Zappos and Arc'teryx!

Expensive but if they wear well and keep their shape I'll be happy. Great fit, I'm a size 4 and very active

Fabric is awesome - a little stretch, will most likely wear well, and not that stuff that makes noise that I'm so over. These are a very slim fit and on the tight side of the size 8 I wear. They might have worked, except the inseam is not a 32" inseam. More like 30.5". For the money, you better love them.

Loved the look of these pants, but the inseam was simply too short for me.

Pantalon trs bien coup et confortable. J'apprcie les nombreuses poches bien place (en particulier sur la cuisse pour le tlphone). Tissu robuste et dperlant. Accessoires "vlo" super bien penss. J'aime la petite jupette intrieure au niveau du bas du dos qui cache le bas des reins facilement. Petit bmol qui enlve la 5e toile de mon commentaire: une couture du genou a dj commenc s'effilocher (utilisation 2 semaines).

Ce pantalon a une trs belle coupe (seul bmol pour la taille basse qui en vlo peut tre gnante) mais aprs 4 utilisations pour des trajets a dteint : j'ai maintenant la marque de ma selle et je ne peux donc plus le porter... dommage pour un pantalon si cher.

I wanted to like these -- they are perfect cycling jeans, great look, fabric, but they seem to be cut for people with very tiny waists and curvy hips. I am definitely not that, but these seem beyond just a curvy cut. I could hide hamsters in the baggy space at the hips...

These pants qualify as "low rise". No, your crack probably won't show while you're riding your bike. But your underwear likely will. They sit right on my hip bones and do everything in their power to accentuate my love handles. I'm typically far more comfortable in mid- or high-rise pants. If you like lower rise pants, these might be just the ticket. The material is very thin, however, it still feels durable. I have big strong cyclists legs. These pants are more skinny than straight cut, but unlike most skinny jeans, these have enough room for my big ol' calves. For reference, I'm 5'7", 130 lbs, ~26" waist (though these pants fall far below my natural waist). I bought the size 4/32. The waistband and hips fit fine. I would probably love these pants if they were mid-rise, coming up another 2-3".

Did not fit well, runs small, and the fabric is frumpy, very thin and not really stretch, no logo on the pant, the waist is too low for biking. don't wast money.

I would love to get a pair of these pants, but unfortunately, they are only made up to a size 14. There are plus-size bike commuters as well, and it would be great for us to take advantage of these pants, but plus-size cyclists can't do that unless the manufacturer makes bigger sizes.
