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

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.

These are well made, quick drying, and comfortable pants that are perfect for casual ware or travel in all but cold weather. I would give them five stars, but I can't give anything five stars that has branding on the outside. Kudos, however, to LL Bean for making the branding subtle enough to be acceptably inconspicuous.

Crinkly so not for casual wear around town or shopping

These are great pants for hiking & for hot weather activities....however, they are baggy for me: a "slim fit" would have been better.

This item fit well and seemed comfortable, but the first time I was going to wear them I found that the zip front pocket was too small to hold my cell phone. Since the convenience of carrying my cell phone in that pocket was one of the main reasons I bought the pants, I returned them. LL Bean made the return process easy. Nonetheless, if you're thinking of stowing your cell phone in the zip pocket, be advised that it may not fit.

Was looking for an alternative to jeans for warm weather. These fit the bill. Nice weight and color.

This would be 5 stars if you made a womens version with long inseam, wonderful pockets and articulated knees. I'm always buying mens clothes for length and pockets!

It would be nice if LL Bean could add a zippered security pocket for keys! It would also be nice if these pants included a belt!

I bought these Cresta hiker pants to replace my older Bean A890 cargo pants, and I like the fabric better (waterproof), fit is good and I like the availability of 29" inseam. Workmanship is very good. Pockets are nice and the rear pockets located more towards the sides are better so I don't sit on a wallet. My only complaint is the Cresta pants only have 5 belt loops .compared to 7 on my older Bean cargo pants. The cost to improve this feature should be minimal. LL Bean should upgrade their current pants to at least 6 and preferably 7 belt loops to earn 5 stars.

Great fit, material and quality. I am 5' 11" and weigh 185 lbs. I purchased a size 35 waist and 30" inseam. The only issue I have is that the side pockets are a little shallow and my phone tends to fall out when sitting. There is a zippered pocket that can to used to address this. Overall, I am very pleased and would highly recommend.

I like these pants... they are very comfortable and I think they will work well while exploring Ecuador and the Galapagos next week. Waist is too big... I have a 30" waist and I have to cinch these with a belt

These are extremely light, comfortable and are holding up well (the two pair I bought last year; I just bought two more).

Good quality but the sizes run really large in the waist and the legs while called standard are pretty wide. A little taper in the legs would be preferred for hiking.

This pant compares very favorably to a pair of OR Farosi pants I have, which cost quite a bit more, so these represent a good value. Not sure about long term durability, so we'll see. Replacing a very old pair of LL Bean hiking pants (I think the Pathfinder?) which had double knees and heavier nylon fabric. I had used those for trail work and yard work, but probably won't subject these to that kind of wear & tear. On the plus side, these are light enough to take on shoulder-season backpacking trips.

Can't get a 33 inseam. 32 is too short and 34 too long. Really need a 33 inch inseam option.
