Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants

These are the most comfortable pants I own. Here's what I love about them: light weight fabric is cool enough even for warm summer days outdoors. Great for walking, hiking, working in the garden. Rip-stop fabric so they survive pulls and snags from branches and thorns both in the garden and in the woods.Fabric has stretch/give, moves with you. Pockets with zippers so phone, keys and wallet won't fall out and get lost even when bending and reaching. Adjustable waistband. I need more room in the hips/seat but have a smaller waist so I really appreciate being able to use the elastic drawstring to get a custom fit. you can cinch the legs at the ankle using the sewn in elastic cord. This is so important because I cinch the legs and can pull my socks up over the pants to keep out ticks. I've had Lyme Disease two years in a row now and don't want it a third time. I spray my shoes, socks and the bottom of the pants from the knees down with bug spray and that's pretty effective at keeping ticks off me. These are so comfortable I wear them almost every day, including just for relaxing on the deck etc. I bought two pair and I'm going back to purchase the third in black.

I bought these pants to golf in (lots of pockets/comfortable). I happened to get them soaked while power washing my patio, and was thrilled when these pants completely dried within 15 minutes. Bought a second pair. Will wear for more than golfing.

I love these pants and have bought 2 pair. They're comfortable, wash well and dry quickly. Please offer them in some lighter colors such as taupe, beige, etc. I don't like the green.

I plan to take on my upcoming trip. They are very comfortable, light weight. Will wash and dry easily overnight, lots of pockets, easy easy waist. I shortened the legs about an inch by turning the hem so that the tie is still accessible from the outside.

I bought one pair of these pants last fall, and took them on a trip to Africa last month (March). They are sensational for traveling, especially for sitting on airplanes for hours on end. The soft waistband is a dream come true when you are packed into seats that offer little room for comfort. They also take up very little room in your luggage on the rare occasions that you are not wearing them. I really like the little elastic at the hemline, since my legs are a bit short for the length of the XL pants, but it is easy to hike them up a bit so that they won't drag on the ground - or you can move them up above your calves if necessary. They are very lightweight, so if it's chilly outside, you can manage in a cold climate (we spent two 35-degree days in Amsterdam on the way over). Just put some lightweight long johns underneath. They dry really fast, which is also quite handy for traveling. I did get two pulls near the knee sometime during the first few days of our journey, but fixed the damage with a wire-loop needle threader. My first pair of these pants were a light grey, so they matched all my tops. Since I returned home, I ordered a couple of more pairs, in dark grey and in olive green. I think they will be great for hiking and paddling this spring and summer. The price is a bit high, but it's worth it.

I bought a pair last year and really loved them. Went back for a second but they were out of stock. Ordered and received a pair this year (they were back-ordered for a while), but was worth the wait. The XL seems to run a bit large in the waist. The only recommendation I have is to possibly make the elastic in the waist a bit more snug. Still, if other colors were available I would buy one of each!

Just thought I'd check back to see if any other colors had been added since late last summer to these wonderful pants. Sad to see this is not the case. I love the perfect fit, the weight and every other thing about these lightweight pants. I can wear them all summer long to prevent my fair skin from being sunburned and I never feel too warm in them. I have both the gray and olive green, so please consider more colors, like navy, khaki, black...you'd have me on the hook for one of each!

I was hesitant about buying these, but I am so glad I did. I have both colors. I wear them often when and would wear them to work every day in the summer if I had more of them. Would love to see them in more colors in the future, such as khaki and slate grey/black.

Just received them today and love the fit.Went right to computer to order another color but sold out. Seems like a popular pant, mostly out of stock. I agree with other reviewers, need more colors and more stock. Good quality clothing. Love LLBEAN.

I really love these pants. I would buy more when you get them in they fit me perfect except in length, but my inseam is only 22"the waist and rise were just right. I would love to have in more colors.

I love these pants. The first time I wore them I was soaked from a rainstorm. They dried fast and are super comfortable. I think the fit is a little large so I bought one size smaller. I've already recommended them to friends because they are my favorite new hiking pants!!

Love these pants. Perfect for everything! Please get them back in stock! So comfortable!

LV LV LV THESE PANTS ..........PLEASE GET BACK IN STOCK,, &MORE COLORS PLEASE...BEST PANTS I HAVE EVER BOUGHT,,,USE FOR BOATING,, HIKING,, WORK.. LIGHT WEIGHT & COMFORABLE

I can't say enough about these pants! The material is light and stretchy, the waist is stretchy with a tie, and the pockets on the side have zippers (so great for hiking or traveling). I find the ties a little strange, but I've made mine shorter and just hemmed them. They wash well and and can be hung to dry. LLBean, please offer more colors such as black and khaki.

I like these pants as much as the other Vista pants. Fits true to size. I wear a 14 in those and the Large in this version fits great. Love that I can cinch the ankles to fit. Love the elastic waist. Both are great, hope you keep offering.

LV LV LV LV these pants please do more colors & re stock sooooon

Living in a mountainous state, I am outdoors and hike several miles a few times per week. I also backpack often in very remote areas. I can honestly say these vista camp pants are the BEST hiking pants I have ever owned! I absolutely love the fabric they are made of--light weight, comfortable and extremely breathable. These pants dry fast! I like all the pockets--many of which have zippers. I like having an adjustable waist and legs so they fit well. Since I like having full range of movement for climbing over rocks/boulders, I ordered up one size and am glad I did. I highly recommend these. The only suggestion I have for future developments would be a tab to be able to roll these up for creek crossings.

I bought these originally for fly fishing and will use them for that, but there are so many other uses, too. These pants are very comfortable, attractive, lightweight and I can imagine wearing them a lot. The sizing is just great and love the quality and the waist is so comfortable., This purchase is truly a winner! I'm really a happy camper (excuse the pun). I would buy more, too.

Great fit, fabric, length and comfort. They are a great all around pant. Can even dress them up. These will be great when I am walking the dog in Brooklyn or when home walking in Maine. My only lament is that they are sold out now in my size and other colors would be great!

It's not even June and these perfect lightweight pants are already virtually out of stock! More, more, more please, LL Bean and in more than two colors please.They fit great (a little snug in the legs, but they stretch so they're still very comfortable.) How about khaki, navy and black...I'd probably buy one of each. They fit great, are very comfortable and, as I said, have that nice little bit of stretch to make them extra comfortable.

Love, Love, Love These Pants. Would Love them in more colors!

They are comfortable, very light weight, perfect for warm weather and have just enough style to fit an active life.

I bought these pants in both colors (wish there were more options) for a two week trip to Germany. I'm typically size 8 and bought them in size small. I love the fit, much better than the Trekking pants. They were easy to wash in a hotel sink and dried quickly. The adjustable hem needs to be tied in a knot to fasten it, a little odd but I didn't use it.

I bought these pants for a trip I was going on, and I think they may just be the most comfortable pair of pants I have ever worn. Whether hiking, running errands or just lounging around the house - these pants are perfect! I would live in them, if I could!

true to size fit, comfortable, ample pockets and easy care
