Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants

The pants looked and fit great! The pockets were useless! If you are going to put cargo pockets on pants, you should design them big enough to fit a standard size smart phone. It's unfortunate because other than that they were great.

I wore these pants on a long hike. If anything, they fit rather loosely; however, frequently seams popped when I squatted or sat down. I had lots of loose threads by the time I was done. The fabric also wore poorly on one side - pilling is the closest descriptor I can find. They were very hot on the trail as well. I was really quite disappointed. I've initiated a return.

I loved the color, fit and fabric but unfortunately had to return because the top stitching stared to unravel the first day I wore them. I was very disappointed, the fit was flattering and they were so comfortable. I hope they can fix this defect.

The size small was huge on my petite frame. Plus the pants are real thin and noisy. I was disappointed.

Returned these pants. The cords around the bottoms just hanging when pulled tight were a deal breaker. Accident waiting to happen when you are hiking. There has to be a better way to do that

Fit and comfort of these pants are amazingpetite length fits perfect! They are AWFUL expensive for such low quality seam work unfortunately. I have washed them one time and I have seam stitches coming undone on the front knees alreadycan hardly believe it!

Poorly proportioned for curvy plus women. Size runs small

I can not wear the type of fabric the pants are made from. I should have read the description more clearly

I ordered these to walk the dog in wooded areas. I thought the drawstring at the ankle had cord stops to tighten & hopefully prevent ticks from climbing on. Unless you tie a knit in the cord, they stay loose. Also after 1/2 dozen washes & hanging to dry, the material is pilling & looks years older.

I love the pants but..I'm about 5'2 and your petite. Size is still too long so I have to have them altered to fit. I don't like the drawstring at the bottom as it give a blousy effect around the ankles. The pants tend to pill a lot as well.

I love the weight of these pants, very lightweight and good for summer. Drawstring pant legs are a nice feature as are the pockets. BUT and this is the reason for the bad review: I bought 3 pairs of these and handwash all of them. The material picks and threads pull, ending up with wrinkles in the pants and that cant be corrected. For the money this should not happen. I wore one pair exactly twice before the pick happened.

I ordered a pair of pants and a pair of capris in 2 different colors. They fit differently. Pants length is too short as well as the rise fits funny. Will def return and hopefully there will be more consistency in the next pair.

I find the pants to be lacking. I am a large woman, and got XL pants. The strangest thing is, the front seems larger/longer than the back! Maybe it's my large heinie that fills up the back, but I'm constantly having to tug the pants up. It doesn't help that the cord in the waistband is elastic, so I find them riding down constantly. I don't know why manufacturers don't take into consideration that larger sizes need to be designed a bit different than smaller sizes. It's quite frustrating. Plus they make quite a bit of noise when you walk.

I loved the ease of these pants and the deep saturated color (raisin), and then the right front thigh portion of the pant started pilling. I was surprised to see that this type of material would pill. Disappointed that the material is not holding up to my expectations.

I really wanted to give these pants 5 stars: they are comfortable, great fit (especially once they made them in "Tall" for anyone over 5'6"), color options are great, and the material is very breathable. However: the material does not hold up at all. They pill. Horribly. The seams tear as soon as you bend/squat/stretch. They catch every little sharp splinter and run somewhat like pantyhose.

Bought in June 2021, and already showing signs of pilling on the fabric. Only worn about 6 times. Pilling enough that I won't wear them in public. Size ran large for me

I didn't expect that kind of material. I thought it was going to be denim. I wore them anyway.

Love the comfort but stitching pulling apart after 3 times worn.

I have several pairs of these. Love all the pockets and the light weight and the way they dry super fast after I've been wading. They hold up great in the washer. BUT some pairs pilled horribly right from the start. I have no idea why as I treat them all the same. And not just between the legs, where it might be explainablenope, all over, very visible, very ugly pilling. Super frustrating and makes me think twice about buying any more.

I had high expectations for these pants, but they fell short--literally. I am 5'7' and these pants in regular are 1" too short. The tall is too long. Also, the medium is too baggy and the small is too tight in the knees. (An "articulated knee" would surely help). I love the fabric, details and waistline. This is an LL Bean best seller and true numeric sizing and additional inseam options should be offered. I'd love to purchase these--but, as it stands, they do not fit.

The pants run large. Not flattering on me at all. The material seems comfortable but' overall they re way too big.

These pants are very thin. Not what I was looking for so I sent them back.

The fabric was great, but for a size petite xs, it was too big and too long, it would have been a perfect if the fit ws right

These are such great pants (pockets, fit, colors), but the fabric pills like crazy, which makes them uncomfortable against the skin and doesn't look good. If they could fix the fabric issue, these would perfect pants!

Too loose in the waist and hips. The thigh pockets are too shallow for smart phones.
