Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants

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)

Lightweight. Nice waistband. Wish the legs were slimmer. Good pockets.

I bought these pants prior to a two-week trip. I was specifically looking for lightweight pants with some stretch in a true navy that would pack small, could be easily washed and hung dry overnight, would look good everywhere, and had sun protection. These pants ticked all the boxes. I usually wear XL in petite pants, but I found that the rise and fit was better on me in a regular L. Cinching the hem is an option, too. The one con is that the top stitching popped in a small area on the front thigh while on my trip. I thought maybe I'd snagged it somehow, but I see that some other reviewers have also experienced this stitching flaw. Even so, I really like these pants.

These pants are perfect for hot weather gardening, as they dont cling while you are sweating. Plus they look and feel great. I held back one star for the odd feature that they get longer when you wash them, but will mostly shrink back to original length in the dryer. I was hoping to drip dry them on a trip. Darn!

I love these pants! They are super comfortable, and they protect my skin from the sun. Something I didn't like much is that the material seems to not dry very well in the drying machine. I don't mind it that much but can be timely sometimes. I love that they are adjustable at the bottom for different styles and comfort. They were a little large as they were and I get the size I always get, but the material is very stretchy and light, and they have a jaw string on the waist as well so it can fit better. I would definitely buy them again, but they need to make sure to make good colors and maybe even try a different style.

These are super comfortable, but they come very long. According to my height, I should get medium tall, but they more than drag on the ground. I'm 5 foot seven.

Now that I have the correct size, I love these comfortable, casual pants. They are beautifully made, and I love their well done detailing. They did run larger than I expected, so I had to go down a size, but I like them enough that it was worth the work of reordering.

I have four of these pants ordered previously. They are so comfortable, especially for travel. These have a straight hem. I am disappointed that you have substituted a drawstring type hem. They are just as comfortable but have a bunched look now which I do not like. I wish you would at least offer a choice.

These are not necessarily the most flattering pants, but very functional. Dry quickly, lightweight, good pockets. I have two pair, plus two pair of the Vista Camp shorts.

Great fit; frustrated with zippers on pockets, although I think they are a good idea

It would be nice if button pockets were velcro as they are hard to get in and out of if you are using them for hiking. Material is comfortable. Style is mostly comfortable but seams across thighs can be confining when sitting. Drawstring is too long.

Summer of 2022 I bought two pairs of the Vista camp pants and wore them most days on a two week trip to the Pacific NW in Juneterrific travel pants: light weight, didn't wrinkle, packed easily and took up mininsl space. Altho they are probably designed for hiking they were perfect for sightseeing. The black and deepest charcoal were versatile snd they fit very well. Later on a two a day sale I purchased another pair in nutmeg, an odd brown color and I rarely wear these because I don!t like the color. Recently I bought another pair on a two a day sale and the only color on sale was spruce and that color looks like the scrubs worn by hospital staffI'm sending them back because I don't like the color! As I've figured out the colors offered on two a day sale are probably the least popular colors and there are a lot of these odd colors left over. Rarely are black or charcoal pants available on sale.

I am 5'8", 140 pounds and got the medium tall which is a great fit for me. Some people might find the material a little bit scratchy, but it doesn't bother me. The material is extremely thin - great for a day when its hot and there is no wind. But on a day when there is wind, it goes through the material and makes my skin cold and uncomfortable. Plenty of pocket spaces.

I would love to be able to wear these to work. Please make a version that does not have cargo pockets.
