Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants

I bought these originally for backpacking, they are light and comfortable in all weather conditions. I started wearing them at work as a rural mail carrier and I really LOVE them. I do have to say that the material has started to pill in the areas that my seat belt rubs. Not sure if it's because of the constant movement and the taking off and on of the seat belt, just thought I would mention it.

I love these pants. Bought several pair. They look and feel great and pack into nothing. The one suggestion I have is regarding the drawstring at the waist. The string itself is very stretchy, making it near to impossible to cinch the waist tight.

Very comfortable, lightweight pants. I've purchased them before. Only thing I'd prefer is to have a regular pockets that can hold keys or a phone without having to unzip them. I assume they have zippers because the pants are so lightweight. They wash easily and dry almost instantly if you hang them to dry. I used them on safari and was very happy with them

Bought this to wear while traveling - waistband is comfy, material is nice and light, and the zippered pockets are pretty handy! They were still maybe a little long on me, but fine after I used the drawstrings at the bottom. The two minor downsides: - material does sometimes feel like it might get some static cling in the right conditions although I haven't noticed anything egregious. - there are one or two small snags on the thigh after only a couple of wears, but I did only notice that after hanging out at my parents with a cat that apparently doesn't get her claws clipped if I'm not there...

It is made in Vietnam which is fine but might explain why the sizes are not really S, M, L and so forth. Plan on at least a size down, maybe two. Other than that, they feel really good.

Very comfortable, looks nice, good fit. However, frabic does have a tendency to snag or develop little pulls.

Unlike other similar brands of camp pants, these wrinkled way too easily - both in a suitcase and folded on a shelf.

Pants very comfortable.l Sizing good. Wear well.. Zip pockets nice feature. Would like if the pockets on the thigh big enough to carry phone.

These pants look very nice on. Cinch strings at the bottom of the leg do not stay cinched. Hip pockets are nice with zips, side thighs pockets have buttons, would be better with zips. Material is very light weight, great for travel. Material pills with anything rubbing against it. Second time I wore them it pilled. Material snags easily. Waist band is nice, sits at natural waist and has a stretchy string so they can be lowered without having to untie. Really like the pants but have to say they are fragile.

I bought these slacks for myself as well as my daughter. We both like to spend time outdoors - hiking, working in garden, etc. Love the fit and functionality with zippered pockets. I have one disappointment. After just a few times worn, my navy blue slacks have pilled up on one knee. Not sure what happened but I expected them to withstand some wear since they are advertised as a camp pant and they are a little more expensive. I will be more careful in the future and make sure I wash inside out.

I would give these pants 5 stars but the pair I have in gray pills. They were my first pair a year ago and I wore them constantly. Then I bought one in navy. This summer I bought a pair in olive. I'm 83 and no longer wear shorts, just roll these up a few times. They are the mainstay of my casual summer wardrobe.

I am pleased with the pants. They fit perfectly. I didn't have to shorten them at all. They dry quickly and look good. My only complaint is the cargo pockets. I'm not sure why the designers think that women don't need large cargo pockets. That's the point. When I'm in the field, I need large pockets for notebooks, tissues, phone, lens covers for my cameras, etc. These cargo pockets are useless.

very light and feels wonderful on the skin. lots of nice pockets and fits well.. dries quickly after being washed.

I usually wear a Bean's womens large regular size for full length pants. However I found the inseam on this item too long. So I sent back the item and re-ordered large petite. This works for me. However no one would consider me petite and other purveyers of slacks sell items that I never need to purchase petite. I think LLBean's Vietnamese manufacturer needs some guidance.

I got these to update/replace some old, similar pants from Bean that simply aren't flattering. These are not bad looking and something I would wear in public. I like the drawstring at the leg openings. The material and cut make these comfortable and I believe, just a bit more flattering than the wider legs of their old camp pants.

I love how lightweight these pants are, love the drawstring ankles, and love the relaxed elastic waistband. My only complaint is that the fabric pills pretty bad between my thighs. I still recommend them though. They are very lightweight and can be worn even on hot days if you need your legs covered (think ticks) They don't stick to you even if sweaty. I took them on a recent camping trip out West and had a ton of compliments and people asking where I got them. I have navy and green, and will replace them as they wear out.

Great feel-very lightweight and well made. I wear 4's and 6's. LL Bean sizing for this item is 2-4 (XS) and 6-8 (S). I went with the small and it is too baggy. If you're trying to decide between 2 sizes, go with the smaller one.

This product makes air travel over long distances comfortable.

I wore these pants to Scotland. They were so comfortable on trains, planes and automobiles. I love them as travel pants but I am unsure about hiking in them. The fabric is very soft and they did pill a bit near the pocket. I am not sure why that happened.

I LOVE these pants! they are so comfortable and look neat, not sloppy. One small request to improve the adjustable hems: without a toggle or something to hold them, they do not stay up when I try to wear as capris. Or make the drawstrings a little longer so I can tie them in a knot. Otherwise- PERFECT!!

I've bought several pair of these pants because they are so comfortable. I wear a L in almost everything from Beans, but in these I wear a medium. They're pretty cool and comfortable. I like the stretchy waist (could do without the hanging cords around the waist though!), and the length is just a little short and the legs are baggy. Overall, the pants are very comfortable and easy to live in so I do recommend them. Maybe better for shorter women. I'm 5'8" but long legs/ high waistline.

I was surprised to find these fit rather large. I ordered 2X based on the size chart. I decided to keep them because I think they'll be comfortable for summer. They are very lightweight and airy. If you want a tighter fit, order down.

In most clothes, I have been having to buy a large, but with the elastic waist, no problems. Very comfortable and the length can be adjusted up if necessary. Washes and wears well. Gets limper as they are washed over and over. Suggest drying on low and taking out promptly. This is my second order of these, so obviously, I like them.

Loved the fabric and style and the light but rugged material. Returned because they were much too long even in the petite. Can't be shortened given the leg style so had to send back.

Small was too large, but x-small fit fine. Lightweight fabric softened when washed and dried quickly, even the waistband. Nice detailing. Pockets lie flat, so no bulk. Will be great for travel and outdoor activities. Like optional draw string bottom on pant legs. Look great on. Very satisfied.
