Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Gamma LT Pants

I'm 5'10" and was lucky enough to get one pair once in tall - otherwise, too short. I've been checking back for MONTHS - but it's turning into an unfulfilling relationship to never see these or others in tall in stock. I just don't feel like you're it here for the tall girls and ready to give up.

I took this cross country skiing once and took a fall. There's stretch marks in the back of the pants now. The pants are otherwise comfortable, fit well, just not as hardy as I'd hoped they'd be.

I was so looking forward to receiving these pants and checked everyday for the 8Tall to become available. Ordered them right away and just received them. As soon as a put my one leg in I knew they were going to be short hoping I was wrong I hiked them on. Disappointing they are a good 2" short. I would have loved them otherwise...now I have to go through the business of returning them-unfortunately.

I love these pants except for one thing. Why doesn't Arc'teryx make more colors with the shorter inseam? I have these Gamma LTs in black and cobalt blue in the Short. I purchased the symbione (khaki ish) in a regular. Too long, too much material making these sleek fitted pants look sloppy. Too bad for me... for reference, I am 5'5" 115 lbs and ordered size 0.

Bought these to replace well worn softshell pant. Reviews of the heartiness/toughness all seemed great and had great experiences with other Arc'teryx items so chose to give them a try. When I tried them on they felt good and fit really well and felt hearty and rugged without being overly heavy. Hopes were high, however after a single scrambling trip the seam in the crotch gusset popped and started to unravel. Sent back to Arc'teryx for repair but once returned the same seam ripped again as well as another seam on the opposite side of the gusset. Very disappointed. They had so much going for them, but the sewing quality is really poor. Working with Arc'teryx to fix, but 7 months on and still isn't resolved.

These pants are *almost* magic. The fabric feels amazing; it's comfortable, very quick-drying, and seems durable. Unfortunately for such high-end pants, too many things are far off the mark. The waistline hits at my belly button which is way too high for climbing (that's right where my harness sits and the rubbing is painful), it makes them look like grandma pants, and also makes them uncomfortable if I've just eaten or am trying to breathe heavily/deeply into my diaphragm while working out. Also, the lack of alternative lengths (short/long) in most colors is frustrating too. I wanted to love these pants, but couldn't stomach these annoyances. I would be so thrilled to see them with a reasonable rise waist and in other lengths in the future!

Bought a 6, fit perfect in the waist but there was way too much extra material in the butt crotch and thighs. So much extra that the material was pointing weirdly in the seat and crotch area. Not comfortable to sit in either. The length of the crotch was so long that it would bunch up the way guys pants will when they sit down.

Why on earth don't you have a long leg option for smaller sizes? Why does a long leg option only start after size 6!? Your size 4 fitted me a little large (5'7, 60 kg) but was too short. I'd love to buy these pants but am quite astonished that you don't do a long leg for any size below a 6?!
