Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants

The fabric in these pants is very light and comfortable. The cut is flattering and the zip pockets are a nice secure design. My only suggestion is to make the cargo pockets functional to hold a cell phone. With four pockets it is frustrating to not have one to hold a phone. The design of your Vista Trekking pants cargo pockets is perfect, with an ample size and secure zipper. Yet the camp pants have a flattering narrower leg, pull on style, and come in more colors than the trekking pants.

The fabric is great, very soft and breathable. But it is not able to be altered, so these have to fit PERFECTLY. They are way way too long. Even with the bottom cinched and ballooned over, I could trip over them. Can't shorten them. The waistband is large, loose, not snug enough so they droop down so the crotch gets very baggy. Again, can't take them in to get them to fit right. I was very excited to try these. But they all went back. If they fit you perfectly, then great, I think you'll love them. But you will want to try these on before purchasing.

I really wanted to love these! They are comfortable and functional. However, the fabric is not durable. I wore these on a single backpacking trip and the fabric is pilling on the thighs. I didn't even know this type of fabric could do that. Maybe these are better for lounging.

The pants are not made of sturdy fabric. When they got wetted and I put them in the dryer, they came out very wrinkled. I am afraid to iron them because of the fabric warnings. Otherwise, they fit well and have the features I expected.

Very comfortable fit, lightweight fabric, nice feel. BUT they snag on stuff sooooo easily, now I have random threads sticking out here and there. Still comfortable, but too quickly "broken in."

Wonderful, comfortable, light-weight pants! And a delicious 6 pockets! So why, LLBean, would you make the cargo and nicely buttoned back pockets so small? No "cargo" (or phone) will fit there! You do have nice, large, zippered front pockets, but its uncomfortable to sit with a phone in your front pocket.

I bought these along with the "Women's Stretch Ripstop Pull-On Pants" and prefer the other. These are very thin, fit is good but I don't like the draw string on the bottom as much as I thought I wouldn't mind. They are just strange and feel too thin. I really like the other pants I got, much thicker and the bottoms do not have the draw string.

The pants are nice and the quality is good,; the style was just not for me.

Pants are very comfortable, but a bit too baggy in the legs and hips for my body shape. If you are a curvy gal, these pants will fit you well. I like the pockets, and the comfy waist. These will be good for camping. Just wish the material was a little more substantial. I don't think I can wear these in the garden, they would snag on the rose bushes. Gave an average rating because of the material.

Got the sale color. Tried on, but have not worn them yet. The string in the waistband is an elastic material that keeps stretching like a rubber band, so it cannot be pulled tight. Trying to decide whether to keep, since I need to snug up the waist and the tie is useless.

I liked these pants immediately and they are as comfortable as everyone here says they are, BUT, they started to pill soon after I started to wear them. That was not an expectation I had of this material or pants at this price, so I reduced my rating accordingly. They will not be long lasting or remain as good looking for as long as I had hoped. That is disappointing.

I LOVE these pants so much and have multiple pairs in capri and full length I am tall (5' 11') and they fit me really well. I agree with the other reviews about the pilling and pulling. I have a cat and the first time he jumped into my lap, I got a big snag in my favorite capris. So now I have two pairs in each color - a "good" pair and an "old" pair. Not great financially/economically but with work from home these are a nice comfy alternative to sweats.

I usually wear medium or size 10 but these were just too big all around. Petite lengths seem to be longer than they used to be. Returning these.

I love these pants--the fit, the very light weight (perfect for Florida) the quick dry. But there is a quality control problem. The stitching on 3 of the 4 pairs I have bought has been faulty on the seat seams or the diagonal seams across the thighs. Because of the things I like about the pants I have bought them even knowing about the stitching problem and restitched them myself, but, really. L.L. Bean, you can do better.

I had expected the material to be bit more Substantive, they are very thin weight. The legs are tailored through the hips.

I LOVE these pants, soft comfy fabric, good fit & dry quickly. Problem is the fabric pills. Will not order again because of this.

I love the fit and feel of these pants, so lightweight and comfy. I was so thrilled with my first pair that I immediately ordered another. However, then I realized these pants are not tough enough for even my sedentary life. They are very easily snagged, which in my three-cat home is a constant risk. They even snag on the slightly rough underside of the frame of my dining room table. The big pull is from one of my cats 5 minutes ago. For my budget, these are not cheap pants. It's distressing to think that after a couple of months they're only good for wearing at home.

These pants are flattering, comfortable, lightweight, stretchy - all great things. I really wanted to love them. But there are six pockets, and my phone doesn't fit in four of them (and barely fits in the other two). Why are all women's garment pockets absolutely useless? I bought these thinking they'd be a good all-purpose hiking, traveling, but also acceptable to wear in public pair of pants, but the inability to safely and comfortably store my phone unfortunately is causing me to return them. If you don't carry your phone in your pocket (but who doesn't?), then these pants are probably awesome.

Wasn't crazy about the material, wrinkled no matter what you did to try to improve that. Didn't fit well in legs.

I want to love these pants. They are supper comfortable, but the fabric pills terribly.

Loved the pants, bought three pair, but don't know if I would again. All three have pilled, I will wear them around the house but not out. They are expensive house pants.

The pants were well made, but the waist was bigger than the numbers given in the sizing chart. The pants felt like they were falling off.

I really like these. It's hard to find a great cargo pant these days. Unfortunately even the x small is huge. Like really way too big.

These were a gift for my wife , they were advertised as on sale . I ended up paying full price not the sale price , my wife loves the way they feel and the fit . The material is very thin I really don't Think they will wear very well ,overly priced for a flimsy pair of pants.

Pants are too long. Used draw strings at the legs but left too much material bloused. Sorry to return.
