Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants

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!

Super light-weight and comfortable. The "cargo pockets" are too small to be of much use, although with such a light fabric you wouldn't want to carry too much weight in them. The elastic drawstring is pointless, I will have to replace it with something that doesn't stretch.

Cool and comfortable. Four stars because of price and I wish there weren't buttons on the back pockets, pants would look better if back pockets laid flat. If you're wearing a slightly longer shirt it doesn't look right.

I love the material of the Vista Camp straight legged pants,. The fit wasn't flattering. The fit of the cropped pants fit much better.

I love the pants that I thought I had ordered, and would have loved these, too. Bought a pair in 2019 which were perfect, and went online to buy more last month. Used the exact same article number and exact same size, but received a slightly different version. The original didn't have elastic cuffs, and the size Reg L was 31 inches (perfect!). The new ones had elastic cuffs and the same size was 33 IN. Fortunately was able to remove the elastic and a seamstress shortened them for me. But that added on $20 to the price..

Very comfortable to me. The waistline is well thought, and very stretchable, and soft. It does pill easily and can get some threads pull on tight hiking paths, however good for both everyday living and hiking situations. Bought two, and might need more. Colors are so-so. Bright red, anyone?

Comfortable and stylish casual pants. I love the 33" length. I'm 5'8" and 140 lbs and the medium is a good fit. It's little loose fitting but works.

I love them except the material pills and takes away from the looks.

These pants fit well, are lightweight for hot weather, UV-protectant, and easy to pack (and wash overnight) for travel. What's not to like? The abundance of hard buttons, which add nothing to style and which I'll have to reinforce individually by sewing them on more securely. Zippers would be much better for pocket security, a sleeker look, and overall comfort. But if your button tolerance is high, you'll love these pants!

Pants are great, except that they seem to run large. I ordered a small, but next time (in another color) I will order an XS for a better fit. Otherwise, I love the style and they wash well.

These are super-comfortable, have tons of pockets, and look nice enough for running errands in addition to hiking! My only issue is that the fabric is slightly prone to snagging, and the stitching is very prone to coming undone, especially on the seam above the knees. Of course LL Bean will take them back within a year, but it's a bummer these pants that are perfect in every other way have this flaw with the stitching! I put "true to size" in that they're true to LL Bean's sizing, which I find is more generous than other brands. I wear a L or XL but usually an XL, or 12/14, in most brands, and these L pants are plenty roomy. Also, I do have some MT pants from LL Bean that fit well, but in MT these were very long on me. The regular length hits right around the ankle but since I usually cinch the ankle opening, it looks fine.

These pants are so comfortable and easy to slide with the stretchy waistband (yet fashionable). Lots of pockets. Main pockets have zippers that zip up; always a plus! I was so happy to find these! The only drawback is my phone is quite large and it just fits in the pocket. But it does fit. I've already worn them biking, hiking, and camping. They're my new go-to pants for nights and weekends in Wisconsin. I'm 5'1" and the petite is perfect.

Love the pants. Have several pairs. I would prefer if the draw string around the waist could be removed.

The pants are lightweight and are great for muggy days outside or for protection from wind and rain. In the first month I popped one of the seams above the knee when I pulled my knees up to my chest. That seam runs tighter than the the rest of the cloth and other stitching when moving around. I've gained a few pounds in the last year, maybe I should have considered a medium? I'm 5'3" 130 lbs. The stitching was an easy fix and the double stitching meant no hole until I could fix it.

Comfy pants but long for petite. XL is sort of too large. The spruce color is very pretty. At the same time I bought a pair of Vista Camp Pants slim-leg petite XL and they fit completely differently! The slim-leg are quite a bit shorter and slimmer throughout. I really like the fit of the slim-leg. I think I'll buy one in spruce. Nice fabric.

These fit well and were very comfortable. They look as I expected. The material is a bit thin and I am concerned that they will wear out quickly, but time will tell!

These pants fit great (loose enough to move in without being baggy), have enough pockets, and are a great lightweight fabric. My only gripe with the fabric is that it has pilled quite a bit in some areas where things like a waist pack rubbed against it. The ankle cinches are a bit odd, too, because you basically have to tie a knot in the elastic if you want the bottom of the pants to be more snug; there is no toggle or a tie.

The fit is good, especially for shorter women, but I don't like the buttoned flaps on the pockets. I would prefer a zippered pocket. Also would like to see a deeper pocket that would hold a cell phone comfortably while seated.

Very comfortable & fits true to size- think they'll be great for 3 seasons!

Very well made pants and very good looking with a great fit.

These are cool and comfortable on a hot day when you want more coverage than shorts. I own two pair: one for field wear and one for social occasions. The only drawback is the drawstring: it's elastic, so it stretches when you try to tighten it. This makes it useless for helping to hold up your pants if, for example, you have put your phone or your keys in your pocket. The drawstring should not stretch; otherwise I would rate these 5-star.

These pants are very comfortable and lightweight. They dry very quickly. Unfortunately the top stitching stsrted coming out after only one wash and I returned them for another pair.

The lightweight fabric is perfect for spring, summer and fall wear; however, it does show wear easily, but I'm wearing them constantly so that's not really a complaint. I own 7 pair and my favorite aspect of their construction is the medium tall length. The first ones I ordered were regular length because that was my only choice, and they were too short, but I reluctuntly enjoyed them. Once in a while, the medium tall inseam will be only a little bit longer, and other times, the inseam will actually be long enough to make a difference - so not sure why there can be a fluctuation in length, but I so enjoy the pairs I own that are actually made for tall ladies (and I'm only 5'8" but I have long legs). I love the soft spruce color this season. By the way, the Medium/Tall fits me well, and I weight 140 lbs at 5'8". I have a long torso, so they can be a little short in that area, particularly after they've been washed frequently (cold water, of course, and no dryer). Would be nice if there was a little extra length from the waistband to where the inseam begins! Thanks for a versatile pair of pants!
