Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants

Very comfortable! So easy to move in! The only criticism is that the side and back pockets are not deep enough to hold a phone and they button rather than zip, so you have to use the front zip pickets.

I love these pants in the cropped version. But I am 4'11'' and these are way too long. I returned them.

super comfortable, love that they're not tight. Wish they could be a little thicker - they're almost see through

Love the comfort of these pants. Fit great (5'3", 150lbs, size M). My only note: be sure to remove from washer ASAP and hang to dry otherwise they do get wrinkled.

These are the second and third pair of these pants that I have. They are very comfortable but I wish there were other colors.

These pants are go to for weekends or after work. I know they are for activities that I do not take part in but I love my two pairs.

These are very comfortable, versatile pants. They are cool in warm weather and are fine on cool fall days. They wash up well except for a few wrinkles out of the dryer. I'm have four pairs of these pants and I like all the colors. I gave four stars because I think these pants are over priced. I'm disappointed in llBean's high prices and I won't be buying any more.

I've worn these pants for the last two summers. They are light weight enough to get through July & August. Unfortunately that means the mosquitos can bite thru them but it's a trade off. They do pill in the crotch more than it seems like they should but that hasn't been enough for me not to buy and wear them.

Very comfortable, lightweight, protective but cool

Very comfortable; moves well! Would buy another color if on sale.

Super soft and comfy but way too long and the material is such that it cannot be shortened

Love these pants, but too long. I normally wear a petite size. However, I took a chance on this regular size as it was on sale.

Didn't like the color but the fit and number of pockets are great for exercise workouts!

Ordered these in my usual medium, but had to return as they were huge. Exchanged for a small and x small. Kept both. They are so comfortable! Wish the side pocket on the leg was deeper to hold my cell phone. And a dark green color would be nice!

I have these in every color. My family calls them my uniform. I wish there were more colors. I especially wish that LL Bean would consider removing the cargo pockets! The fabric is so thin the pockets on the thighs are not really functional. This modification would be further slimming & dress the pants up a bit more for even more versatility.

I both love these pants and am disappointed with them. They are perfectly comfortable. I appreciate all of the closable pockets, high waist, stretch fit, and appearance. Unfortunately, they started pilling within a couple of weeks, and that's with being more cautious with their care than the tag said (i.e., hang drying). I don't like having to be careful not to sit on rough surfaces, like a wooden bench or concrete, but these pants are so great otherwise that I have two pair and will buy more. I just hope LL Bean can improve the material quality and durability going forward.

I love these pants so much. I have four pairs and am going to order more. My only "complaint" is that the seam on the top of the thigh seems to have the threads come undone and I've had to re-sew 2 pairs of them, but I love them so much I will continue to buy them. I'll hardly ever wear jeans again. So comfortable and casual, but they look nice.

Completely comfortable. However, the tie is unnecessary bc it's super stretchy and doesn't really help the pants to fit better in the waist. Should just be elastic waist or change the tie so it actually fills its purpose.

Very comfortable to work out in, comfortable for driving long distances. We are to wear black slacks at work but no workout pants. I wish I could wear them on Thursday my largest receiving day but with the off color stitching I don't think pull it off. They do bag and sag as you wear them.

*****CONS*****: These would be perfect if the thigh cargo pockets were large enough for a cell phone (or ANY thing) and if the elastics at the ankles had a stop toggle or means to adjust and hold. You have to knot the elastics at the ankles if you want to, say, walk along the shore and adjust the pants up your shins so they don't get wet. The pockets are only 4.5" deep flat--so not large enough for anything for those of us who wear cargos to keep our hands free. (Photo shows my iPhone 7 case sticking 2" out of the pocket) *****PROS*****: I get many compliments from both men and women when I wear these pants. They are perfect for a day-long boat trip, and dry super fast when they inevitably get wet. Very light weight. I don't notice that the pants get uncomfortably hot and feel like they don't breathe as much as when I wear UPF 50 shirts. They look stylish for running errands, as a beach cover-up--I even jog in them. When I am 168 lbs, they do get a little tight around the thighs, hips and waist--but still wearable and comfortable (my weight is evenly distributed, but the first two are where it goes first). The pants look and feel best when I am 155 lbs. I love the nautical navy color--which I would describe best as a Prussian blue--so a bit less "royal" or cobalt in person than it looks when I blow up the LLbean photo on my computer screen. One could also say that the pants are brighter and not as "black" as many navy blues. Don't go by the color of my photos; the LLBean website is more true. The material is tough for how light-weight it is, withstanding a sharp object that wanted to snag them. I would purchase these pants in every color if the side-thigh pockets were deeper and could actually hold something. Even so, I highly recommend!

I like these pants and bought several in different colors. Pros: They fit well and are very comfortable. Easy to wash and line dry overnight. Great for travel and all-around wear. The cons: Like others have reported, the fabric tends to pill after only a few months of use. Also, the elastic at the hems is hard to figure outdo you tie it, or what? I'd prefer just a toggle on the elastic, or a fastener of some type at the hem.

Love the material, great pant for warm weather.. Waist band a bit bulky for thin waistlines, & I wish the cinch cord @ ankles came with toggles. But the positives outweigh the negatives & I bought a second pair in another color.

Purchased for hiking, biking and kayaking in July in Acadia National Park. They are very comfortable a little too baggy.

Pants fit great, comfortable and lightweight. Bought them for gardening. The only negative is I wish the cuffs had a locking system to cinch them up to keep bugs from crawling up. I have been washing them by hand as several customers have commented on the pilling issue.

I love these pants so much with the exception of one thing. I can't seem to keep the waist tied and secure for the duration of a hike. I feel like I'm often having to stop to re-tie. Otherwise, they are great!
