Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants

My husband and I hike and camp and these pants are perfect. We go on long camping trips and these pants dry so quickly. It saves me from having to take a lot of pants. They do run a little large. I normally wear a Small, but I purchased my first pair from an L.L. Bean store in NY, so I was able to try them on. I bought extra small and the fit is perfect. I liked them so much I ordered a pair in navy and will order the granite (gray) a little later...and maybe the green. They are so lightweight, but in cold weather you could wear a base layer. They are perfect for camping, hiking, kayaking.

I bought these to take on safari in January, but they are so comfortable, I am already wearing them. They are very lightweight, perfect for my purpose, but maybe not for everyone. The medium fits me well, just a bit roomy--I am 5ft 10in and 135 pounds. They are just barely long enough for me. If you are not interested in the drawstring at the ankle, as I am not, it just lies flat if you don't cinch it, so you don't even know it's there. I have not yet washed them.

I cannot describe these pants other than perfect. I have bought two pair for myself and then also purchase three pair of the Vista Camp shorts. Great fit and feel, so comfortable. Love them!

I wish I had discovered these pants a long time ago! We live on a farm in Virginia, spending all of our time outdoors, and I've lived in these pants this summer. Great light weight fabric and so many pockets! I ordered a pair of these in capri length and they're just as good looking and functional. However...the pants and capris run large so when I initially ordered Mediums, I was swimming in them (I wear 6-8's). The Smalls fit perfectly fine. The fabric also tends to snag and pill (see other similar comments), but this isn't too noticeable and I don't mind since I wear them as work pants. I just keep one pair reserved for wearing to run errands that look less "broken in". No problem with these pants in the laundry with shrinkage and I run them through the dryer without any issues. I'll be ordering more capris once they're available again--currently they're out of stock.

I bought one pair of these to try and LOVED them - got another pair. On a 5-day trip, I pretty much only wore those two pairs of pants! Soooo comfortable, from the material to the light-weightedness - and all those lovely pockets!! I will be haunting the LLBean site for more of these...please make more and more colors, as I may start wearing only these to work!!

i originally purchased the cropped pants and really liked the way they fit and feeled. I ordered the long version and I am looking foward to cooler weather to wear!

I read all the reviews before buying. These are pricey and I wasn't sure they'd be worth it. But they are! I can't say enough about these pants. They are the right length, have the right amount of stretch and are super lightweight and comfy. Perfect for camping!

I work on film/TV sets a great deal--these pants have taken a beating and, so far, held up beautifully. They also wash easily and well. After a 12+ hour location shoot in a forest last week, they ended up coated with suntan lotion, cola, multiple kinds of bug spray, blood, dirt, ginger ale, and probably other things I don't want to know about. Before I went to bed, I washed these pants in the sink with a little detergent and hung them up, dripping wet, in the shower. In the morning, I found that every stain was gone, and the pants were ready for more torture. I'm 5'4", about 125 lbs, and have a high waist with long legs for my height--the misses XS fits me perfectly.

Really comfortable fit. Bottom of pant can tightened if they are a bit long.

Vista Camp Pants. At 93% Nylon and 7% Spandex, this pair of pants is wonderfully comfortable, and very lightweight. Absolutely perfect for the hot summers where I live. When I purchased several pairs of these pants, in Medium size, there was only one length available, which is an oddity for LLBean. I would have chosen a length a little longer for my comfort level, but I still love these pants. The dark gray color is perfect as it partners with any color you have on hand. The elastic waistband with a ribbon-like tie is perfect for adjusting individual comfort levels. There is an elastic piece in each leg hem for width adjustment, but I don't use them since there is nothing to do with the excess elastic once the leg width is narrowed. Two thigh pockets, with secured flap closures, are handy for small items. Side pockets each have a zipper closure, which is a good feature. I really recommend these pants as a wonderful summer wear clothing for the coolness in hot weather. And...they wash beautifully (dry on cool setting). I would like to recommend that LLBean produce these Vista Camp Pants in variable lengths.

These have become my go to summer pants. They fit exactly right (for me at 5'4", 155 lbs a medium petite works well), have a good look, especially with the ankles cinched in a bit and are super comfortable. They could be improved with a slightly stronger fabric. They are lightweight, which is good on a hot day, but tend to snag on picnic benches and other typical summer surfaces. In a heavier fabric, I would wear them year round.

Love, love, love these pants. I bought the olive on line, then got the gray at my local store, and then today I found the navy! I love the fabric - lightweight, cool, comfy, and if I end up walking down by the beach, they dry in minutes. Good side pockets with zippers. Great fit - my gray pair are Medium Petit (I usually wear a size 10 or 12 in pants) and they are fine with flip flops. The others are regular fit and I can just tighten the drawstring at the ankle if I need to - but I usually wear them straight. They wash well - brought them on vacation to the Galapagos islands and was able to wash them in the sink and they dried in no time. Perfect for traveling or anytime!

I just ordered another two pairs Gray and Black (already have Black, Navy, and Olive). I have lived in these pants since late April. My favorite feature is ability to engage drawstrings at pant leg to help prevent ticks from attaching onto legsI spend a lot of time in tick areas. Pockets are perfect for dog owners to carry all essentials. On even 95+ days these pants are comfortable. My only critique is that my black pair is 'pilling' (to date my Navy and Olive pants are not). Nevertheless I just ordered another Black pair because I literally have forsaken all other casual pants for these.

These are perfect for comfort, fit and multiple uses. I bought one in the capri length and one full length and they were my favorite pants on a vacation in the mountains. They were lightweight but substantial enough for hiking, classes, meals. They fit well and look good. They wash easily. I don't know what I would have done without them.

These pants are incredible! Perfect for hiking or evening walks by the lake. They repell wind but are very comfy and stylish. Can be dressed up or down. I'm 5'10" and usually where size 10. Medium fits me perfectly with a nice form fitting outdoorsy northwest look. Definitely going to order more.

I cannot tell you how much I LOVE these pants. They are the most comfortable, casual pants I own. The wide waistband is ultra comfortable and I love all the pockets. And they are not baggy pull-ons...they have a real "fit" to them, but not tight or binding at all. They are my go-to at the end of the work day or workout, and a staple for the weekend! We camp and hike a lot with our dogs and these pants are the bomb! They are such great weight for Florida. I am 5'-4" and ordered the petite for the length and the size medium fits perfectly. I have them in 3 colors! I also recommend the shorts...good length for us older ladies and all the comfort of the pants. The legs are skin tight either! Can you tell I love them? Don't ever stop making these! I suggest everyone have at least a pair in the black-goes everywhere with everything.

I got these in prep for a very long plane journey. They are perfect. Fabric and construction are wonderful. Very well made, should last forever. I bought the Petite XS. Am 5', 105#. They are roomy on me but that's not unusual and they would fit someone with a few more inches up and around. Highly recommended. I ended up purchasing 4 pair and intend to wear them during my entire trip. They are also extremely light weight which is great for packing.

I bought these pants before embarking on a trip to Scotland this summer with my grown children, and they were perfect for hiking--comfortable, not too hot, and they dried quickly after we got caught out in the rain.

The camp pants are excellent. Fit is right at the size (I got 2X), and they are lightweight for summer outdoor use. Just got a new rural house, and they are keeping the bugs off me! Only thing I'd do different is how do I tie the ankle ties without knotting?

This is the 4th pair, I have all the colors I have seen. Love the pockets, with the zippers and buttons I never lose a thing. I can even fit a small water bottle in the cargo pocket. Fit is great, I am losing weight so now ordering a size down but they're not supposed to be tight anyway. Great for travel, wash out and dries overnight. Can't say enough great things about these.

I love that I don't have to spend more money to shorten these pants, because I can just tighten the adjustable hems! I'm under the 'standard height for petite'! Also, these pants are comfortable, lightweight, nice drape, and crotch in the right position! So I ordered a second pair in a different color.

Love these light summer-weight pants. Very comfortable and just the right fit. I bought the gray and now have the blue.

Great comfy pants indispensable both on a hiking trip and when hopscotching about the town.

I don't know that I've ever ordered a pair of pants online, in a size smaller than my "normal size", and had them actually fit perfectly. I also rarely buy anything full price, but I wanted these in time for a camping trip this weekend. These pants are now the standard that no other online pant purchase will ever live up to. I was prepping myself for these to not work out for whatever reason precisely because I wanted them NOW and didn't have time to go to the store to try on a bunch of different styles. But alas, they DID fit, and truly feel perfect in every way. Comfy, lightweight material. Comfy, elastic waist band that I think will be fantastic for hiking. Zippered side pockets so belongings don't fall out, buttoned back pockets that actually made my backside look good. Cute enough to wear casually in everyday life, too, not just camping/hiking. Love, love, love. Ordering another pair now.... Normal pant size: 8 / Med Height: 5'4" Weight: 145 Ordered: Small

Really like these pants. The fabric is like a parachute material and they dry very quickly. Overall fit is great. Have been eyeing them for a while but the fact that I got them 50 percent off was the clincher.
