Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Cresta Hiking Standard Fit Pants

I wear this all the time. Excellent for travel and everyday use. Buy, don't delay.

These are great hiking and general outdoor wear. They look good enough to wear for every day. I like the zippered pockets, particularly the rear pockets where I keep my wallet. I have two pairs and will probably get a third. The only thing I would change is the addition of two more belt loops. I feel like five are not sufficient for hanging belt mounted items. A competitors equivalent have 8 belt loops.

This is my third Cresta hiking pant ( I have two Cresta hiking shorts, as well) over the past 10 yearsall are still in use ( testament to their durability). The material is light, yet robust. They are great on the trail, groomed or otherwise, on mountainous terrains, on rocks and even in town. They have taken some hefty punishment, yet still hold up. They are roomy and stretchy enough for full articulation under most conditions.This latest iteration replaced mesh pocket liners with full fabric- a good addition because keys and other items would get snagged. I like that they fit below the waist on the hips, so a shorter inseam was necessary for me. The only improvements, in my view , would be slightly tapered legs which would improve the profile and replace the plastic- like seal around the front zippered pockets.

Love these pants. They are so light comfortable. I now have four pairs.

I've worn these hiking pants out on multiple adventures and find them to be very comfortable on the trail. I have room to move without binding or being restricted. The fabric breathes well while protecting me from winds and brush. Even when I got a little sweaty, they didn't cling to me like past experiences with other pants.

These pants are comfortable, breathable, and tough. I use them for strenuous hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains and for walking my dog in warmer weather. I've also worn them shopping.

Although these are men's pants, they were bought by me, a woman , because the pants you carry for women do not have pockets worthy of holding anything safely. I am fortunate that I can wear men's.

I've come to love these pants. I wear them or the lined version year round when I need long pants. Cooler and more flexible than jeans. Thinner but wind resistant for cool weather. Lined version are great for cool to cold North Texas with wind resistant benefit. Stand up to washing very well. I recommend.

Arrived sooner than we were originally advised. Appreciate both the quality of the pants as well as the service we received.

I bought a pair a few years ago and of all the pants of this type that I have, these are by far the best. The only flaw is the depth of the front pockets. I had to send them to a seamstress to get an extension. I am just now ordering a new pair and will see if this has been corrected.

Husband absolutely loves these and they've become his go to pants. They are comfortable and look good for home and work--he's even worn them for short hikes on vacation at a National Park. When at work, he has to move around a lot and he says these keep him a comfortable temperature all-day. After the first pair, we came back to buy 2 more colors and will probably eventually have all the colors LLBean will offer.

Great lightweight pants for travel. Pack up nicely in suitcase and they wear well. My husband loves them. Very comfortable.

I bought two pants for African hiking, expecting hot, sweaty conditions. The wicking function performed as advertised, drying quickly on sweaty me and after being washed. From lightness and breathability standpoints in the heat, they were as comfortable as I can imagine for long pants. After about five wears each, I see no durability issues, but that would be expected at a minimum. I expect these will become my "everyday" pants at home, but I have not yet tested their warmth on windy days in the low 40s or colder. If LL Bean allows review updates, I will. They may run minimally larger than comparable waist and inseam measurements of other brands.

My 19-year-old son who is an uber hiker just loves these pants. This is his second pair.

Fit is true and comfort excellent. Love the lightweight material.

These pants are comfortable and great for hiking. I would recommend these pants to hikers.

These LL Bean pants are practical and comfortable.

Love them. Best light casual pants I have ever owned.

The pants fit and are a good weight. The pockets are ample but discreet.

Purchased these pants for my hubby for our trip to Europe in fall 2019. The fit is good, comfortable and works well for hiking and also all around touring. With a nicer shirt, the pants were dressed up. With a t-shirt, perfect for hiking. Over the years, they have held up well, wash well and still look awesome. Ordered a new pair for him for Christmas for our next overseas trip. I recommend these pants.

Very comfortable lightweight pants. Looking forward to wearing them for hiking and biking next summer.

Very comfortable. Fit well. Plenty of pockets. I highly recommend.

We live in Florida and like the light weight fabric. I have a pair in woman's and gave these in men's to my son. They fit him well, and he is quite pleased with the gift. Don't change a thing!

My husband is fussy about pants with pockets and these pants fit superbly and cell phone fits nicely. He is pleased!

love these fit wonderfully. Need more 36" inseams, jeans and other pants.
