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

I have purchased the same brand of pants in the past, however, the current pair are mislabeled. The label is the correct size but the pants are several sizes too small.

I've bought 4 or 5 pairs of Cresta pants. Every few years the style changes. The "standard" fit I recently bought is a baggier cut, with two cargo pockets. I loved the previous version, dubbed "regular," which had a slimmer cut, different belt loops, and one cargo pocket.

I have 2 pairs of Cresta pants already. Love them. Ordered a third pair of the Carbon Blue. Tried them on and they were too long. Even though they were the exact same size as the others 34w x 30 length. I measured them and there was an extra inch of length! I was shocked that they were defective considering LLBean usually makes suck great products. Disappointed long time customer.

Not what I expected. Too flimsy. The fit was accurate.

Nice material and good pocket placement but a bit short-waisted and the waist, itself, was 4-6" large. I ordered 42" waist and got 46"(marked 42) and the 46" stretches to 48". Makes these pants essentially unwearable.

Bought one pair of Cresta Pants and loved them for fit. Bought a second pair of exact same and sizing was baggy but kept them for yard work. Tried a third pair and returning them for bagginess and length. Regular Fit/Natural Fit/ Standard Fit makes it near impossible to judge correct fit online. Inconsistent sizing. Disappointed.

Cheap - I bought a similar pair a few years ago and these are inferior (oversized too) will return for refund.

The pants are very well designed: I was impressed, and would recommend them. I returned both pairs because the fabric is light summer weight material. I live in Colorado and need something now which is more substantial and warm. I suggest the blurb in the catalog mentions the fact they are for warm weather wear.

Horrible fit, Why did you ever replace the other more durable and better fitting Hiking pants??

We waited for weeks for these pants on back order and then when they arrived the sizing was just ridiculous! We ordered the 36 waist and when we measured, it was 39.5 inches!! And the thigh area was HUGE! Not sure what happened with the quality control on this product, but it clearly was not in evidence!

I love the fit of these pants but the quality is very poor. The fabric seems decent but the stiching falls apart very fast. I have bought them for many years.

The first pair I ordered, the button for the pants was loose in the bag, so I was sent a new pair, and the second I undid the button to put them on, it came right off. Having it happen twice seems like a product issue, still trying to return the pair and try another brand.

The pants suit my need for warm weather walking and overall they are well made. The waist may be a bit on the generous side. The pants are unwearable however due to the snap, which exists only as decoration. It does close but just in the technical sense. Any stress (bending for example) and it will go back to its natural state of undone.
