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

I wear these to work and my job requires lots of physical activity and many things that can catch and rip garments. These have held up well so far. In addition I have nowhere to put an actual wallet and phone so the large pockets are great.

I have two pairs of these, purchased about 5 months apart. I live in Colorado, and was looking for a pair of pants that I could wear hiking in the mountains that weren't as restrictive as jeans are; these pants fit the bill! The first pair I ordered are the "Alloy grey" color, and on day trips, I noticed that my legs got hot, due to the color in the Sun. I then ordered a "Dark Driftwood" color (khaki-ish), and both pairs are my favorite pants; I wear them most of the time. I am normally a 34" waist, but I recommend ordering a size 2" smaller. My second pair are 32's, and these fit fine, whereas the first pair I need a belt; trivial detail for an amazing product. I think I will order another pair, eventually; these make great everyday pants, too.

My husband always liked the Cresta hiking pants as they were lightweight for warm weather. So when the cold weather was approaching, he was happy to see the flannel lined pants. Not too heavy and gives a nice extra layer for colder weather. Bought another pair!

These are hands-down the best pants I've ever owned. Unlike a lot of synthetic fabric pants, these are actually breathable so whether you are hiking, traveling, or just working around the house you won't be sweating your...legs...off. They also have just the right amount of stretch to them to make them a great choice for traveling. I drove across the country in these bad boys and was comfortable the entire time. In addition, I did some hiking in the rain and while my head and upper body were soaked, the water literally rolled off of these pants. If you have to wear pants while you're working from home, these would be a great choice.

I bought the black for my husband first. He loved them so much, I bought him the gray and khaki color. He doesn't get very excited about most clothes, but he really like these pants.

They are the most comfortable, well fitted and functional pants I every have.

Lightweight for great summer weather, wrinkle free, and always looking crisp. Roomy but not baggy.

I love these water resistant pants, with several zippered pockets, which are light weigh and comfortable. I wear them all the time in the LA weather, which is often warm.I wish the dark blue color would return but I like black.

Wanted something just a slight bit more winproof and damp proof than the original crest a pants. Keeps the dew off and wiind out On cool summer nights and mild fall days. AND they look good too.

The quality of these pants far exceeds Columbia. I'm glad I found them.

Purchased these for my husband. He has 3 pair that he wears exclusively (different colors) because they are lightweight and cool. He likes the extra pockets, too -- handy for letting him multitask and keep his hands free. They allow him to bend with ease. This is our second round -- had to get a size down because he's lost weight.

I now have three pair of Cresta Hiking Pants and I'm pretty sure these are the only pants I'll wear the rest of the hot weather, which in Texas means for quite a long time to come. They're comfortable. The multiple zipper pockets give me a way to spread out what I carry and provide easy access too.

Great stuff. All I can say is great stuff

These hiking pants fit very well and I love that they're a bit stretchy. They are light yet substantial enough to protect me from heavy brush or vegetation on the trails. Very comfortable and breathable. I am very pleaesd with this purchase and plan to buy another pair.

Perfect, great Construction, gusseted crouch is comfortable. My only suggestion: wish they came in lighter colors. White would be great!

I love these pants. I wear them almost every day. Lots of pockets and super comfortable. I have several friends that have purchased these also and really like them.

These are the most comfortable pants I've ever owned. They are great to wear golfing on those slightly cool mornings.

Fabric is light weight and breathable. Suitable for hot weather. Overall build quality feels solid. I expect this pants would last a long time. It has been working very well for me during the last a few hikes in sunny and rainy days. The fit is a bit on the relax side to avoid restricting movement. I would prefer to have a secure small inner pocket to hold car keys though.

I like LL's Cresta products. I own a lot of the shorts. These are the first long's. They are nice. My wife even likes the longs. Which she usually does not on my clothing choices. I guess I need to bring her in to the decision making process. Anyhow, very happy with these pants. Hopefully they do not succumb to the plague of the Cresta. The closing waist snaps disintegrate over time. LL should get the manufacturer to start making them with a button and hole. However LL has been pretty good if I send them back for replacement, even after I've had them a couple of years.

Usually wear size 33 but these run a little large so bought 32 and they fit perfect. Ordered two pair and really like the fit and comfort.Great for flying and during travel. Very lite weight and easy to wash out and hang to dry. Excellent pants.

Loved the fit. Lightweight, so great for hot weather.I plan to order a second pair

This is my second pair of the Cresta Hiking pants. The first pair I bought several months ago have become my favorite casual wear pants. So I purchased a second pair. They wear perfectly, stretch, and with zippered pockets. I often wear them to play golf as well as casual wear on a daily basis. Planning on hiking in these in Colorado this summer. Living in south Texas, I decided to purchase a pair of the Cresta Hiking shorts and I love these equally to the pants.

I bought a pair at the local store with a gift certificate and picked the only size close to mine which was two inches smaller than I normally buy. I tried them on and they seamed to fit. All the jeans and slacks I have I"m constantly pulling them up all day long. These I don't have that problem. They are not to tight in the waist and vey light weight. So I bought another pair on line. Highly recommend these pants.

Fit nicely right out of the package. Light, cool and very comfortable. I wanted something lighter and less confining than my usual jeans. Also like the pocket arrangement. Going to buy another pair soon of a slightly different style.

I love these pants. That they are water resistant makes them even more useful.
