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

I like everything about these pants except for the length. A 34" length usually fits me pretty well but these pants are too long. They puddle up around my ankles.

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.

Style has changed so the new style does not fit me well. I have 5 pairs of the previous style but this new style will not be number 6.

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.

I bought these for my husband. I like the fabric and the fit. They appear sturdy and high quality although he hasn't worn them yet. The length is a little long, though, and they will have to be hemmed. I don't know if I ordered the wrong length or if they just run a little long.

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!

I originally ordered the classic fit but they were too baggy. The standard fit are much better though I would like more rise in a hiking pant for freedom of movement.The gusseted crotch does address some of this. The pockets on these pants are awesome- deep, solid, pocket bags with plenty of zippers. (Too many hiking pants use mesh pocket bags which are useless) More belt loops or an integrated web belt would improve these. They seem well constructed and hopefully they will last.

Love these pants. Lightweight and perfect for my husband and son in law. My husband has four pairs because he loves them so much and my son in law has started his collection and now has two pair. The second pair we bought the same size as the first and they were much larger. We called ll bean and they exchanged for another pair- for some reason that lot was off size and they handled the exchange efficiently and great customer service. Thank you

Ok. I thought I ordered a 36x30 but the pants were labeled 36x34. Not good. But I wasnt about to return them. I brought the pants to a tailor on Commonwealth, and asked her to hem them to make them 30s. She measured them. They measured 30. I tried them on and they fit like the older exact same model I showed her. Exactly. We looked again. Yup. 36x30. I guess I just got lucky. Are others mismatched? Im happy with them. Plus I got 10% off list.

Very satisfied. I don't remember if this particular pant used to come with the clip inside the pocket (great for securing car keys), but that would have been a nice to have.

Why do you so many manufacturers seem to assume everyone is overweight? The waist is perfect, the inseam is perfect the legs are waaayyyy too baggy. How about a slim athletic fit in a hiking pant? Ugh.

Great pants, I own about 5 pair now. Very comfortable with a great fit. I would own more but they are little pricy.

I like the zipper pockets, color choices, and flexibility. The material, however, is too thin and bottom of legs are too wide..

Pants are very nice but sizing was off for the pair shipped to me. Marked 31 waist but measured 32 1/2 I got them tailored at my cost.

Excellent! Stylish and functional. I also really like the carbon navy. Quality company with unsurpassed customer service! BTW, I appreciate that it comes with an option for a longer inseam.

The ladies did a double take on the trail and it wasnt me they were looking at!

I would like too see a Chino hiking pant with same amount of zippered pockets as the Cresta's. Cresta's best feature! The length of the front pockets should fit the latest iphone.

They fit really well, would like to have a better variety of colors

I tried these on and they fit well. I would probaby give them 5 stars except that I have not yet had a chance to wear them on a hike. They feel pretty good and look like they will work out well for a hike in cooler weather.

Quality pants. Great zippers. However, mine have a 38 waist and it is more like 40+. Waist sizing wrong.

Love the fit, fabric, appearance, quality. I wear these frequently, even on lunch dates to nice restaurants. Even my friends give them a thumbs up!

Generally great pants, I use them for travel (for zipper pockets) and lightweight summer pants. They work for golf... except the slight unwanted noise. Two suggestions for improvement... (#1) incorporate two additional belt-loops in the back. (#2) Unlike some other pants they do make a bit of noise when you walk in them due to stiff fabric (Which is thin. Thin is a good attribute). If the fabric was a slight bit softer they could be more comfortable, and less noise would be heard while walking in them.
