Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants

I have these pants in every color and have worn them for years. I'm very grateful for the new color! The strengths are the high elastic waist with functional drawstring, incredibly wrinkle resistant lightweight fabric, the sun protection, odor resistance, and quick dry features are unmatched. I've tried so many other options. These are absolutely wonderful for travel and can be rolled, requiring minimal space. The draw strings at the ankle are very helpful as well! I live in Georgia and these are so lightweight and fresh in the intense heat and humidity. The only complaint is that the fabric pulls relatively easily as others have noted. While that's disappointing, I wear them daily for yard work, errands, gym, and get many compliments. Hope they release more colors.

The fabric was a bit thinner than I had hoped for, but they dry on a dime

I have several of these and love the fit and comfort but I wish they came in a light color. I wear them in the woods and I'm concerned about ticks. Please offer them in a tan or cream or white color.

I have 2 pair in green and navy and 1 pair each in black & granite. Love that they are very light weight, have a lot of pockets and dry quickly if get wet. My only complaint is that they pill very quickly after a few washes. I don't even put them in the dryer to help with the pilling. They look terrible once they've pilled a lot and i no longer can wear them out to any place and just wear around the house.

These fit beautifully and look sleek, a surprise for elastic waist pants. I love everything about them except the logo on the leg. That surprised and dismayed me. I don't choose to wear branded items.

Very happy with these. I'm 5'3" with a curvy figure & the petite length is perfect one me & they fit well through the hips. They are lightweight & perfect for our rainy tropical climate. Only negative is a few spots where the stitching is imperfect.

I bought these pants for a trip to Glacier National Park in 2023 and they are still wonderful a year later. Light but protective. Perfect for long hikes or for walking around town. The only thing I would change is to make the pockets deeper, especially the top pockets. But I am still buying another pair of pants even before any possible pocket change is made because I love the material and the quality of the pant.

These are good quality. Too long for petite sizes.

I like these lightweight pants which are perfect for summer and travel. I previously bought the Ripstop pants and really like them and wanted something lighter in weight. The one issue for me is the seam which is just above the knee. It rubs a bit on my leg and there seems to be no reason why it's necessary to have it there. It's not enough to keep me from wearing them but detracts from the overall impression of the pants.

Love these pants and have several styles, including shorts and lined pants. My only wish is you'd make them in a slightly heavier fabric. How about them in true khaki?

These are comfy and easy care. Light enough for summer in FL. For me they run a tad big. I ordered XS petite. I am 5'2", 110 lbs. The petite works well for me. Lots of pockets a plus!

I hadn't anticipated how thin the fabric would be, nor how synthetic it would feel against the skin. But I gave them a chance and I mostly do like them. Big positive: They do NOT attract dog hair! My first gripe is that the draw"string" is elastic. Truly annoying to tie snugly. Second gripe is the waistband is a thick, hot monolith. Why make pants with such light weight fabric for hot weather comfort, then give them a waist like some medieval chastity girdle? Ugh.

Material very thin, lightweight. Time from order to ship to delivery too long. Free shipping but not free return. Refund takes long time.

Very nice pant, Lightweight and comfortable. My only complaint is the cargo pocket is a bit too small

Love these pants for the comfort and ease of care. Had to take one star off because I caught the fabric on something (didn't notice at the time) and the fabric "ran" like an old nylon stocking. So disappointed. I wear these and the two other pairs I bought everywhere. I am more careful with my other pairs but these are touted as being good for outdoors activities and I would not recommend hiking or camping in these, comfortable as they are.

Very comfortable soft material doesn't shrink high quality pants

Normally I'd get a less expensive pair of pants, but the details and features are worth paying for. I love the way these fit and feel. They're loose enough to be modest, and thin enough to be comfy in a hot climate. I'm 5'5 and 200 lbs - I got the size 2x and it fits great in the waist and seat. The "Regular" length was a bit too long for me - I had to hem them and lose the ankle-cord, but that's ok.

I love the feel and comfort of these pants. They do tend to pill up, especially in the crotch area and I prefer to hang dry as they can ball up. Despite that, I keep buying them because they feel great.

I bought both this and the lined version of this pant to wear walking and hiking. They are comfortable and fit well. Two reasons I did not give five stars: the drawstring in the waist band is elastic and doesn't feel secure. I've already changed it to a 54" shoelace. The pockets are too short for even my small cell phone. I find this in a lot of women's pants. As if we have less to carry than a guy!

Very Comfortable, I don't like wearing jeans when I travel, brought these and are great for traveling. I have 2 pairs. Wash great, run big- I brought a med, and fit perfect, they don't shrink. I normally would wear a lg in most pants. The only disadvantage is when you pack them you have to be care so they are not too wrinkled when you unpack, and you have to make sure take them out of dryer right away or they will be very wrinkled, Love these pants !!

I have a hard time finding pants that fit, and these fit just right.(2X) The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I am short, and my size does not seem to come in petite. I have to roll the waist so that the crotch is not so long. I can do that easily enough but would buy more if they came in petite 2X . I am 5'1".

Pant material was thinner than expected, but still nice. Great amount of stretch. Length was perfect for me. The deal-breaker for me was the rise. I was really hopeful because this was listed as a mid-rise pant. It came up past my belly button, which definitely fit like a high rise. I need a low to mid rise pant, so I ultimately returned it. Cargo pockets were not large enough to button over my phone, but were located in a nice spot. The zip pocket was big enough to hold my phone, but it was kind of an awkward spot to have such a large item in there.

Even though reviewer "Cathy from New England" who is 5'5" says the Petite size is right for her, I'm 5'2" and the Petite length is too short for me. I prefer trousers that cover my ankles.

The pants fit great. The only problem is the side pockets are not deep enough to hold a cell phone. The phone fits in the upper zipper pocket but with the elastic waist the weight of the phone brings down the waist of the pant and somewhat bothersome. Perfect pant except for the size of the side pocket

I don't know why people say these are low or mid-rise? I have a long torso and these are pretty high on me (and I only like high rise everything!). I will say, they are higher in the back than the front, but still high enough. I have lost a bit of weight and I knew that LLbean runs a little large in their clothing, so went with a small, and the fit is perfect. Length is perfect too (I like them cinched on the ankles, but even uncinched they were just right for me). I considered the tall, but they were sold out, and glad I didn't go that way. I'm 5'6" and 138lb-140lbs. There's room enough in case I gain a few lbs back. Reserving judgement on durability because just got them. LOVE the fit and green color! Note: (I can pull them up higher than I am wearing them in the photo)
