Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants

FINALLY!! A pair of petite length pants that actually fit, well almost, but closer than the competition. I am 5'1" and wear Petite Short in pants when I can find them. I could not believe when I put them on that they were only about 2" too long. BUT the awesome thing is that the drawstring on the cuffs means I can pull the leg tight enough against my boots that they do not sag below my feet. I bought these for my upcoming trip to Ireland and am so pleased I am getting a second pair today. They are soft, they are not too baggy like so many other pants this style. I am 170 curvy pounds and was surprised that I was able to wear a size M. I will be wearing these both around Dublin as well as in West Cork hiking on the penisulas. Thank you. Please make more colors preferably some lighter colors since the three you have are all dark. I am looking for a sand/stone/light khaki. Something to wear in hot weather that will reflect and not absorb the sun.

Please make these pants in every color known to man. The most comfortable pants I have ever worn. Truly wash and wear. LOVE THEM. Now more colors?????? And maybe the exact same style in a slightly heavier fabric for winter??? Thanks.

I never thought I would ever find the perfect pants but these are it. They are so very comfortable and I love the petite length so I don't have to take several inches off the bottom. I wish they had my size in the other colours when I bought them yesterday while visiting Chicago, because I could literally live in these all day every day. I am going to have to buy them online. I should have bought a size lower because they will stretch but still love, love, love them.

I have never spent this much on pants in my life, but they looked comfy and loved the pockets and the ankle ties. So, I walked on the wild side and ordered one in each color. They couldn't be better! I live in them. They are so attractive, not baggy. They would be appropriate in many occasions, not just hiking and camping. The fabric is so light and airy but I don't freeze in them. The fabric isn't at all "noisy" like some nylon clothes they used to use for workout/running outfits back in the day. The waist is like a dream. I can wear these pants ALL DAY, comfortably. The rise is perfect. I got an X-Small not knowing what to expect as I am a 4 sometimes and a 6 other times. I got a regular "small" for comparison. "Small" was way big all over and too long, so I kept all three of the extra-smalls. They fit not loosely, but follow my shape without a ton of extra cloth. I don't have any regrets at having spent what I did for these pants. They are worth every cent!

These are a perfect fit for me in a medium. I am narrow through the hips, and I do not like things to be tight in the waist, so fit is a problem.These pants are perfect. They drape nicely so they don't look too casual, and I like all the pockets. They wash well, though they will pill if they are washed with something like towels that give off lint - easy to avoid. The fit is such that I think I can wear lightweight long underwear with them in colder weather, though I would love to see them in a heavier fabric also, as long as the waistband is not stiff, as could happen with a heavier fabric. Please, please make them in more colors, starting with blue - maybe marine blue or bright navy.

these pants are so comfortable and lightweight.....absolutely love them. Fit perfectly. Wash and wear. I have not had problems with pilling (as someone previously reported). Now if they will just come in some other colors (I already have all three available). Maybe a heavier weight in the same pant for fall/winter? Most comfortable pants I have worn in a long time. Thanks LLB

I've never written a review of a clothing item, but these pants are so fabulous I just had to share my opinion. I have all 3 colors and ordered a size medium. I'm 5'5", and am a muscular 135 lbs. I have a relatively small waist but am a medium size in the hips and thighs, so I ordered a medium. I prefer my clothes to be a little on the loose side. The elastic drawstring allows me to cinch the waist so that it is a perfect fit. The waist is really comfortable; it's very soft and stretchy. The fabric is light, which is great for hot days. These pants can be super casual, worn with sneakers or flat sandals. But they can look more dressy when worn with ankle boots or a dressier sandal. I've gotten many complements on these pants. BUY THESE PANTS; YOU WILL LOVE THEM, TOO!

Loving these pants. Fabric is light weight - plenty of pockets. The legs are long but look good open or pulled in. I am 122 lbs, 5'5" & surprisingly am wearing an extra small. I'm glad I bought these in your retail store where I tried them on - would have had to return the small size.

Love these pants. They run a little large, which is always a bonus in my opinion. The fabric is dreamy - light and comfortable. Just ordered two more in the other color choices.

I am crazy about these pants because they have elastic ankle ties and look like harem pants. They look like "cargo pants" and I wear them out for casual wear. The weight is so light they are perfect for very hot weather but you get coverage. I am going to start hiking in them. I wish they came in a heavier style for hiking to protect legs from brush. Look great with boho, southwest, and country accessories. They run big. I ordered an extra small petite and I'm 5'3" weight 110 lbs. OK - had to send the small back. Wash beautifully. Would be great for backpacking, too.

Tried on a pair at the store in Rochester after the Bean person told me they are really comfortable. Comfort is OMG level and I'm highish waisted. The most attractive pants I've found in this category, too. I like quick drying and UPF features as I like to be outdoors and often travel. Also helps keep you cool.

Going by the size chart, these run large. For reference: I'm 5'6" tall, 124 pounds, my hips measure 38 inches, and my waist is 27 inches. According to the size chart, I'd wear a small, so I ordered the small. It was WAY too big! I exchanged for the extra small and they are perfect with plenty of room to move around -- not even remotely tight. The pants (in the right size) are really flattering and seem durable, despite being really lightweight and breathable. I love the drawstring cuffs and stretchy material. The grey was exactly like the image on the website. They're great -- I may buy more colors, which is not something I normally do...

I love these pants, and have all three colors. I wish they came in a dark blue! Medium works well for me. The waist is generous and has some give to it. The pants hang nicely. They are casual, but I also have worn them with denim jackets and even a blazed. They are versatile!

The pants are just what I need for my gardening. I have the slate gray. They washed great and the fit is true to size. I read the reviews beforehand and they are all accurate.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like these pants, they looked a little like pajamas when I first took them out of the bag. They look nice on and just FEEL like pajamas! I wore them on a long, hot walk and they were very breathable and comfortable and dried out quickly. They look nice enough for work too. Only one small thing, the drawstring is made of elastic so it's pretty much useless for securing the waist. I just tied it once and pull the pants on or off without undoing it.

These pants are fantastically comfortable, true to size (but then it's an elastic waistband with tie) and the length can be compensated for with the tie on the bottom of the legs as well. Without that pull-tie on the bottom, these would be extremely long and would require hemming. (Which I detest having to have done.) LL Bean might consider having the pants come in "long", "short", and "medium" lengths like other outdoor-wear companies do for this reason. Meantime, the pull tie works. My husband and I are setting off to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain and I bought a second pair of these pants because these are exactly what I want for the trek comfortable, UPF worthy, easy to wash out and dry quickly. So light they pack easy and take up little space an important factor in packing for the Camino or any camping/trekking trip. Highly recommend.

I love these pants. They are so comfy and chic. Love the drawstrings on the bottom. They are the perfect weekend pant and will work great when we go to camp. I have the green currently but will definitely be buying the grey as well.

They fit great and are very comfortable. Just waiting for it to warm up here so I can wear them. They are a thin material, will be nice for warmer temps.

Own six pairs .. comfortable and packable.

I bought these for a vacation and was so glad I did. They are the most comfortable pants I have and would have worn them every day if possible. They are lightweight, but still kept me warm when the weather cooled in the evening. Wash well with no shrinking. I only wish they were a little longer because I'm tall. I will probably buy more of these in different colors.

The pants are perfect for hiking in Florida when you don't want to load up on insect repellant. They are really lightweight so you don't roast and the cuffs have a drawstring so you can keep out the bugs. I do think the cargo pockets could be a bit larger but the zippered slash pockets are really nice for keeping things secure. I am a size 18 and the XL fits perfectly not too tight and not too billowy - just right!

Okay ... I bought these because I am the Diretor of a nonprofit in Indonesia that combats the illegal trade in critically endangered species of birds for 14 years. I hate most field pants. Fit is terrible, uncomfortable and made more for men than women. These pants rock! I bought them and wore them most recently on a trip to North Maluku and wanted to wear them every day. They are comfortable, light, and dry quickly. Will be buying more soon for next trips. For a day hike, camping or serious field research these are definitely the new go-to pants. Love them!

I love, love, love these pants, and I now have them in all three colors. They are extremely well-made, super comfortable and flattering. I wear them everywhere...always get compliments. L.L. Bean, if you'll make them in a nice khaki color, I'll buy those, too!

I got these just before a 3 day trip hiking, eagle watching and the lodge at Starved Rock Park in IL. These are now my fav travel/outdoor pants. They look great on, both on the trail, at the lodge restaurant or any other plans inside or out. I'm 5'5" 145 lbs. the medium have plenty of room, the waist is maaaaybe a bit loose, but I don't think the small would be nearly as comfy. You can move on the trail and they feel good in the car for hours. They aren't just plain, and have good style. Very slimming as well. Another thing I liked , the length worked too. I may just get another color - love these pants.

I was at the actual store and able to try these on. I never would have off the rack--they seemed non-descript, but I was looking for pants for a trip and these had good reviews. The reviews are spot-on! SO SO SO comfortable. The material is light-weight, but not cheap-feeling. The pockets in the front ZIP so that I am not worried about change or my phone falling out. The waist band stays put. The ability to cinch them at the bottom makes them look a little more on-trend. Two of my friends are now planning to order a pair after seeing mine. Super cute. Super comfortable. Super functional. Great product.
