Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Vista Camp Pants Crop

I have 3 pair of the camp pants which says a lot. BUT this is how it breaks down: comfort=4 stars, style=4 stars, fit: 4 stars, colors=4 stars, pockets=4 stars, BUT fabric=0 stars and price=3 stars These look so shabby almost immediately and it is embarrassing. I have other llbean pants in similar fabrics that do not have all these fabric issues. I have spoken 2 llbean about this but fabric doesn't change!! I believe a better fabric would make these pants an unequaled winner.l

Not for me.... cute style but not enough body in the fabric. The fabric was very thin and lightweight and wasn't what I was looking for. I returned them.

This is my third pair of Vista Camp pants. My first pair is almost 2 yrs old and don't show it. They're extremely comfortable and take up no room in you bag. Easy to wash and only need to hang dry. The first two pair I would give 5 STARS, but this last pair had an issue with the rear seam popping three stitches. My guess is the tension was too tight on the sewing machine. Rather than sending back I hand stitched the seam. So this last pair only received 3 STARS.

I like these a lot but had to have them shortened for a better below-knee length, and the waist is too high, hitting me mid-chest instead of waist. But it's hard to find cargo crops with necessary 6 pockets.

I really thought that I would love the Vista Camp Pant/capr fit and style. They are costly. I did get them with LLBean Credit Card points. I could not afford them otherwise. However, they attract lint. After each washing they attract more lint and more lint. I cant wear them in public as they look so full of lint! The lint sticks to this material!!! It gets worse after every washing!

Would I recommend to a friend? Yes, a TALL friend. These are cute and comfortable but way too long. Need to offer in a petite.

I love the pockets I love I love the weight of the fabric and I like the idea they were a little shorter, I had a problem with the fabric. It seems to get all these little threads hanging and while I love the weight of the fabric I do but that's just a little annoying, not your usual L.L. Bean.

Overall, these appear to be great (zipper size pockets are a plus) I purchased M in almond and black. They are on the baggy side (I'm keeping the black cause I'm going on vacation and need something). A suggestions is to make the side (button) pockets a bit deeper. I like to keep my cell phone in this pocket (accessible and doesn't dig into you)... but the pocket is about 1-2 inches too shallow for an Android. Happy Trails!

I have 4 pairs of trail pants and love them. Guess I didn't read the details on these pants. They are thin stretchy material and feel like they will snag. I should have read the details. Needed them for vacation the next day, so didn't return.

Very comfortable pants with useful pockets. I loved the fabric but it has started to pill on the front and doesn't look as nice. I have always washed the pants in cold water and hung to dry, so am not sure why the fabric is not holding up. The pants were pretty expensive.

Loved the feel of the lightweight fabric, but after only light wear and 3-4 washes (cold, gentle cycle, line dry) there are at least half a dozen snags in the fabric, both in the front and in the back. :( They have also started pilling like others mentioned. These are billed as "camp pants," but I wouldn't dare take them camping... all I've really done in them at this point is go for walks and sit in an office chair. I wish they weren't already falling apart, because they're really, really comfortable.

The pants are cute even though a bit baggy. The fabric is light and I wonder how sturdy they are. I was very disappointed to see that they had to be washed on delicate cycle. They are camp pants! I will give them a go, but I am disappointed that they require tender care.

These pants are super comfortable. They seem to be everything I expected except I had pilling after the first wear.

I really wanted to like these pants, in fact I almost ordered two pair but decided to try one pair before ordering the second. The fit was a little loose but that is ok for this style.The legs were a little long but petite was not available. The pockets were wonderful. The material was what disappointed me most. It was lighter than I expected and started pilling after the first wash. I had expected a better quality from LL Bean. I will not be ordering the second pair.

Although the fabric was light weight and quick dry, just what I was looking for, I was disappointed in both the style snd color. I own three pairs of this style pants that I purchased from a different company last summer and I wore them all summer and loved them. So when I happened on this pair on a Two-A-Day sale my expectations were high. First, the style was not as pictured since these pants did not have drawstrings at the bottom of the legs resulting in an odd look. The ones I bought last summer fit closer to the leg with the drawstrings instead of this pair whose legs just stuck out. Not an attractive look! And the only color available was an orangish brown. Probably that color was not popular, resulting in a surplus of this color. I suggest that LLBean reconsider offering pants in this color! A true brown or dark khaki would be more appealing. So, disappointed as I rarely am in an LLBean item, I returned the pants. And, by the way when customers complain about charges for returns I suggest they get the LLBean Master Card where returns are always free and there is never a delivery charge, no matter how small the purchase is. I love all aspects of LLBean and am rarely disappointed!

As many other reviewers have noted, these run quite large. The waist is stretchy and the drawstring is also elastic, and the fabric is quite light. When I put my cellphone in a pocket, even that small weight is enough to start dragging the pants down noticeably. They will be fine for gardening or dog walking, which is what I bought them for, but they are much less flattering than my Prana capris or other hiking pants, and I wouldn't choose to wear these for anything more than errands or chores. It just feels like too much fabric in the butt, not enough structure to sit comfortably on the waist and hips (especially if you put anything in the pockets), and on my body the length is also unflattering. I will also note that unlike some other capris that cinch at the knee to allow you to adjust the length, these pants lack a little slider to keep the cinch in place. You have to tie the loose end of the drawstring at the outside of the knee, making it hard to get both legs even, and the tie sticks out in an awkward way. For the price, it seems that detail should have been better engineered. I'm sure I'll appreciate their light fabric for summer gardening and walks, but a miss for a really versatile pair of summer capris.

I LOVE these so much I have 4 pair, each in a different color. I'm a teacher and wear them to school all the time. They are comfortable and school appropriate w/ pockets that keep my hands free. I'm terribly disappointed by had badly the fabric "pills" where my thighs rub. Certainly I walk a lot but for hiking pants I would have expected them to hold up better. Now I'm torn about buying more to replace the ones I already have that look really worn after only a year especially at almost $70 a pair. I feel like they should have lasted longer for the price.

I received these pants in July as a birthday gift from my daughter and I truly like mostly everything about them. The only problem is that after 2 washings the fabric is beginning to pill. I now put them in a lingerie bag in the washer and dry them on a drying rack. I would have bought another color too, but I don't want to risk this happening to pair#2.

I've purchased 4 pairs of vista pants and 4 pairs of crops in the last year, love the fit and weight of the fabric, however my new navy vista crops are pilling after 2 wears. None of my other colors have done this. Very frustrating! Navy is my go to color. What's different about them?

I have 3 pairs of these. Two are a year old and the 3rd is several months. On all three pairs I'm noticing that the fabric is pilling in the seat, around the pockets and in a few other places. Question whether or not these will still look good next year. I just wear them for everyday use. No hiking, gardening, etc. Just walking and sitting. For the price, I'm disappointed.

I really liked this cropped pant. The fit was great and it washed wonderful. After several uses I noticed that it was pilling. I wanted to keep them because I really liked them. I did not like the looks of the pilling, so I decided to return them.

I was going to give these crops 5 stars. They fit perfectly, they were comfortable, and they looked good. That was until the fabric started to pill after the second washing. These were going to be my "go to" crops. I loved the fit and comfort. Now they have been downgraded to wearing around the house. I'm so disappointed! Please LL Bean-find a better fabric choice!

The pant was ok and though the waist too big, it has a drawstring. It still gapped a bit much for my taste. And I did not care for the color. Why must we hike in muddy colors?

The comfort on these pants is amazing. I wear them in the summer to cycle in or doing errands. The only disappointment is the quality. After one wash the buttons became lose, and the material started to fray. I found a similar pair at a local store for 20 bucks and those are holding up better.I have noticed in the last few years that LL Bean quality has gone down. Disappointed in the quality for the price. But, bottom line they are SUPER comfortable pants...

These are good quality pants. But they are a skimpier fit than I wanted in this type of casual pants. The photo lead me to believe they would fit looser than they do.
