Extremely comfortable and lightweight pants. Pants are wash and wear and I consider them office casual. I had owned a black pair and liked them so much that I ordered a dark blue pair when they became available. Would love to see more colors added for more variety.

I was looking for comfortable pants with cargo pockets to wear at home or while camping. These are perfect. I work from home and need a place to put my iPhone while I walk around the house. The cargo pocket is the perfect place for my phone. The material is thin, so these are not for outside in cold weather without layers, but are the perfect choice for a relaxing outfit around the house or fall camping. I will probably purchase another pair for a variety in color.

Have been looking for pants like these for years! Bought a Regular Small, but exchanged them for a Petite X-Small which fit perfectly! They're comfortable and look nice... not "sloppy." Will buy another pair. Another great advantage is that they do not have big stripes down the side, or company logos on them. I wish the pockets were large enough to button close with an iPhone inside, but I'll get over that:)

I purchased these pants for traveling on airplanes. They fit well and were very comfortable.

I bought these pants specifically for a trip we were taking to Ireland. We were there in mid Autumn and it rained every day but 1 while we were there. I ended up wearing these pants every day over there. They handled the expected wet Irish weather perfectly, just as I'd hoped they would. We hiked on the peninsulas in West Cork and Kerry in rain or drizzle and always muddy trails. Although not waterproof I was never soaking wet in them and they dried so quickly. They also packed well. I wear them to work, too, because they are so comfortable. I'm 5'1' and the petite fit fine. I usually wear XL but found the L fit me great. I am curvy and often have trouble finding outdoors pants that fit me right, these do. I even wore them on the flight. The only issue is that they do pill, as other reviewers have said. After just a few washes and also after getting stuck on some Velcro they pilled. I have 2 pair and am about to buy the new Navy color they just came out with. Thank you and keep bringing out more colors. Even though they pill I still highly recommend them especially if you are petite as our options are more limited. I tried on all the competitors similar pants in petite and these fit the best and were more true to size.

I recently traveled with this pant. It was very comfortable in hot, humid weather. The pockets are very usable as they have zippers and are a decent size. The pants dry fast when wet. I love the comfortable fit which is close but not tight due to the slight stretch in the fabric. I first ordered a petite (I am 5'4") but prefer the misses length as it rides up some when you sit. I wish it had elastic instead of twill tape in the ankle. I would love to see this pant come out in a brown and a tan as well. I think adding a tall would be a good idea as well.

I have these in every color and they are my favorite pants by far. Comfortable, lightweight stretch, adjustable waist, and very attractive. I find them slimming. I'm 5'2" and the petites are perfect. No fading whatsoever after many washes. Please offer more colors, especially lighter colors for summer!

I usually wear medium but opted for the small which fits perfectly. So comfy. This is now my favorite winter sleep wear.

I love these pants! They have become my go to pants for travel and golfing. I love the pickets and elastic waist! I wish they came in Navy or other colors (I don't love the green.)

These pants are the most comfortable pants I've ever worn. I have 3 pairs now. I wore them backpacking in the Grand Canyon and also wear them to work. They dry quickly, so they are great for hiking. They are super lightweight, and look great! I just wish they had more colors.

The material feels smooth and soft and has just enough stretch to be comfortable whether you are walking or curling up on the couch. While the pants look substantial, the fabric is incredibly light and breathable. The petite length was just right for me (5'4"). I ordered a size down as suggested by others and I am glad I did. I am not a fan of the pockets as the buttons are hard to insert through the button holes. I would have preferred fewer, deeper pockets without the button closures. Overall, I love these pants and am getting ready to purchase a pair in another color.

Love the fit. I am 5' 4" and 115 lbs. Regular small fit perfectly. Very comfortable and stylish. Nice to have something else to wear besides jeans and leggings. I can work or lounge around the house and go out without having to change. I hope they offer additional colors. A heavier version for winter would be awesome! L.L.Bean... are you listening?

I read the reviews and ordered a Small; I would normally have bought a Medium, because I like my clothes to fit loosely. I am 5'4", 116 pounds, but those pounds have redistributed themselves as I have aged.
When these arrived, I resisted trying them on, sure that the Small would be tight. But NO! They fit perfectly, slightly loose but still flattering. The elasticized waist was loose enough and with the ties, could be made smaller if/when the elastic deteriorates.
I had been thinking of buying some nice, comfortable scrubs, but these are so much better. Lots of pockets, zip or button, for when I walk my dog. The ties at the ankle will be helpful, in case I wear flat shoes (and to keep creepy-crawly things away from my tasty legs!). And they're light-weight enough that I'll be able to wear them in hot weather. I have not yet washed them but I'm pretty certain they'll do fine, as all my other LL Bean clothing has.
I guess my only complaint is that they don't come in other colors. Khaki, blue, brown, white? I already have acceptable black pants, and I'm not crazy about the green color offered.

I get tired of wearing jeans every weekend, and wanted something more lightweight and comfortable for casual wear. These are perfect. I wear a size 6 in pants and bought the small. Like others, I initially thought them to run large and almost sent them back. I'm glad I didn't. After a few wash and tumble dry cycles, they shrank enough to make them less sloppy and more true to size. I would caution against sizing down unless you intend on line drying them.

My favorite pair of pants I own. I bought these for a hiking trip in Utah and lived in them all week. During cool morning hikes I wore them over my shorts and they were great. Now being home, I still live in them from day to day because they are so comfortable. In my opinion they are more comfortable than leggings! I usually wear an XS but got the small just to be cozier and they are perfect. Just ordered my second pair in the green! They wash great, no fuss. Buy these!!

Absolutely comfortable!!! VERY well made! Runs big. Others have said it and it's true. Order a size down! I'm 5'4", 125lb.Usually a small from Bean. Ordered small and sent them back for XS. These pants stretch and move with you. Even when you squat and bend. You could wear them for yoga! The waist is all elastic, even the draw-cord! No need to untie to remove them. Very light weight, but they are nylon so probably not going to be good for hot days. But I don't wear long pants when it's hot anyway. I've been wearing them indoors and I'm totally in love. I've ordered each color! The cut is flattering, not baggy. I think they make me look slimmer. I'd give them 6 stars if I could!

Just got these yesterday via online, and already love them! Nice weight and fabric. I'm 5'7" on the slim side, and the Medium fit fine, although the waist is a bit lose even with the drawstring. The length is good, too, with or without the drawstring on the legs. I got the granite color but just ordered the dusty olive since there is a sale going on. A navy color in these would be nice.

I too love these pants, I just ordered my third pair. Comfortable yet decent enough to wear into town. The drawstrings on the bottom of each pant-leg are a bonus, I can wander around the yard with ankles protected (I hope) from dastardly ticks. I would love to see this style (with drawstrings) in a warmer fabric.

Possibly the greatest pants in the history of pants. You could sleep in them, hike in them, work in them, go out to dinner in them, possibly even go to church in them (ok, that may be just me, but seriously, I probably will do this).
I did take out the drawstring, because why do they think women want to tie little bows at their waistlines? But no big deal--it was easy to pull out and cut off.
I may have to buy extras pairs of these in case they ever stop making them. Which I hope they never will, as I intend to recommend them to everyone I know.

These are the greatest travel pants ever: comfortable, quick drying, takes up little room and zippered pockets.
Please please please get more petite small !!!!

These are super. Lightweight, but with a tight weave, so they aren't chilly. I paid attention to the reviews that said these ran a bit large. True. I'm 5'4", 120 lbs and ordered an XS based on reviews. Fits perfectly, and the 31" inseam is great. Not highwater. I wore these into town for a casual lunch date today. Did some shopping afterwards, in and out of the car. Comfortable, easy, cute, lightweight, and non binding waist. These are pull on, no zipper. I ordered the olive and will be getting them in granite next. Highly recommend.

They are seriously the most comfortable pants I have ever put on my body. I immediately came back to order another pair after receiving my order in the mail & trying them on. I am 5'4" & 115 pounds and went with the petite small. I probably could have gone with the petite XS, but prefer my pants a bit on the looser side. I LOVE these pants!!!

These will be my "go to" pants for knocking about. Love the style, comfort, color, fit, everything! I agree with "just your average Jane" from Maryland that the exact same style in a little heavier fabric for winter would be a great idea. I'm 5'6" and 122 pounds and the small fit nicely - roomy, but that's the way I like pants to fit.

I often have trouble finding pants that fit because I'm short-waisted, with a larger waist and thin legs (I'm 5'4" and about 165 lbs). I'm really happy with these pants - the length is just about perfect - I often have to have pants shortened if they fit in the waist, but these are fine. The material is incredibly light and the elastic waist is not binding at all.
My one slight criticism is that I don't really like the elastic at the hems; I guess the idea is that you pull it and then somehow tie it to make the pants shorter, but to me it just looks messy. But I don't really feel the need to make these shorter so it's not a big deal.
I'm hoping that LLBean will offer similar pants in a heavier fabric so I can wear them all winter!
