Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants

I love the look, fit and fabric of these pants and have ordered several pairs in many colors. However, after two washings ( in cold water, hanging to dry, no iron) they all start pilling horribly, the stitching pops out all over the seams and they look terrible.. For this price that's inexcusable

These are comfortable and light. I like all the pockets and the drawstring cuffs. My first outing in the woods with them resulted in so many snags in the fabric. Soooo many. Their light weight, but not at all rugged.

I loved these pants at first; comfortable, lots of pockets including zippered pockets, lightweight. But after wearing them on a 4-day backpacking trip, these pants look worn out. The fabric itself is fraying from catching on plants during hikes. and some of the stitching is coming out of the pant legs. Maybe these pants weren't designed for backpacking trips, but I sure was deceived by the online description!

They fit well and are lightweight. For all the pockets, they are all to small to hold much. My tiny pocket wallet won't even fit in my back pocket. The only pockets that are really usable or the top two zippered pockets.

Returned. They had a terrible fit on my body. This did not fit me anything like other LLB pabts that I love to wear. Did like the fabric.

I am short & the petite was too long & proportions were off. Not a good fit.

Purchased these after recommended in the store, fit well but did not realize the fabric pills and snags easily. Very disappointed!

I absolutely loved these pants and bought them in a few colors. The elastic waistband, numerous pockets and length were all perfect. I take care of my clothes and wash as instructed, they are gently used. I don't sit on concrete or any rough spots so the pilling isn't for that reason.The pants are starting to pill horribly and don't look like the quality I expect from LL Bean, especially at this price.

I bought these pants a few years ago and didn't get much use of them except for 'at home' use. The fabric pills and the thread in the seat area didn't seem to hold up.

I ordered these pants and was pleased with the fit and comfort. Buy have a pocket with cargo pockets and secure back pockets, none of which are large enough for even the smallest iPhone? I hope that LLbean decides to correct this flaw.

The pants are lightweight and would be great during the hot summer days. The only problem is I ordered a size petite small according to the LL Bean size guide. I am 5'4", weigh 114 lbs,, 65+ years old. I ordered size small petite according to the LL Bean size chart guidelines. They were HUGE. Not only in the waist but baggy all the way doen to my ankle. I sent them back reordering a similar style but with slimmer legs in a size xs. I haven't received them yet but hope the fit.

I loved these pants when I first got them. The material is very thin, almost see through when you hold it up to the light, but I was willing to let that pass. In fact I like them so much I ordered four more pairs. Then on one of the other pairs I ordered, I noticed after wearing them one time the thread for the seam in the center of the butt was starting to come unstitched. I sent that pair back as a return. Then I noticed the same stich coming lose today on the original pair I bought. I've worn this pair twice. I'm extremely disappointed that pants this expensive are so poor quality. I'll be inspecting the other pairs I bought and will likely return those as well.

I have 6 various styles of Vista/camp pants, all this material, some long, some capri, some zip off legs all from previous seasons. I love them, the quality, the functionality; hot weather, keep the bugs off, or cold weather, even add an underlayer. My phone fit in the side or front pockets of all of them. On the new versions, PHONES DO NOT FIT ANYWHERE, unless you have a tiny flip phone. I am a very active outdoorswoman, I do not carry a purse, wallet, etc, I expect my pockets to be 100% functional and carry my critical items. Phone, $, CC, chapstick. Cannot do that in these new styles. Two to three years ago, these were functional pants for outdoor sports. They no longer are. I mentioned these issues in the store many times, and while employees agree and sympathize, corporate is not listening.

Size L nearly falls off of me. So I ordered Size Medium which is way too tight. I do not understand why there is such a difference between Large and Medium sizes. Medium is more like a size Small. I am 5'8" 153 lbs.

The seam are already loose and there are snags on it already I have had them less than a month

I loved these pants initially. They are very comfortable & fit well. I've had them maybe 1 1/2 years. However, the fabric has not held up well and now it has pilled severely in the crotch area (note: I am not obese where the fabric would rub constantly in that area when walking), and the pants are no longer wearable due to how bad this looks. I've worn them maybe a couple dozen times.

I would have loved these pants, but they were too wide in the thighs for me, looking pretty baggy. Perfect length though! I bought the xs in medium tall.

I love the quality of LL Bean products, but the slacks/pants/jeans are all too big for meI'm 105lbs 5'4" and even extra small is too big

They peel and snag really easily. They also run big. Other than that they are comfortable.

i liked them.They are very comfortable and look nice. But i followed every bit of the laundry instuctions. I washed them alone, in cold water, no fabric softener. But after about 3 washes; they are really pilled and look old and worn.

Elastic waist band and basically expensive pajamas.

The material is nappy and creates small little balls, I have several pairs as they are comfortable but the stitching wears down after 6-7 washes/uses. I am looking for a different brand now.

These pants will be too long if you need a large size, but I love my Vista Camp Shorts.

I almost really loved these pants. Great fit, great material for moisture wicking and super comfortable but sadly after wearing with rain pants, they got really pilly. Also the drawstring is a mystery- it's so stretchy it doesn't really work. So close...but missed the mark.

I love the fit and look of these pants. The elastic pull string is perfect for me, as the waist is always too big to fit my hips. I have 2 capri and 3 of the long. But the fabric pills and snags after first washing. Could you make them out of the same fabric as the Comfort Trail pants? That fabric wears like iron!
