Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Multisport Pants

I have purchased 5 pairs of the Multisport pants. I love the lightweight feel of the fabric. The pants are very comfortable to wear in the heat of summer, for hiking and all outdoor activities. My only issue is the fabric pills after three to four washings. I wash them inside-out on a gentle cycle and let them air dry, and the pants still pill. It's very annoying because you lose the original feel of the fabric, and the look of the pants is diminished. My only other suggestion, not a complaint, is if L.L.Bean would move the drawstring for the waistband inside the pants. This would clean up the look even more and make the pants look less like sweatpants.

I liked the pants but had to return as they did not fit like I hoped

When I ordered these pants in black, I already had a pair I love in a very dark turquoise color. The two pairs have the same fabric content on the label, but the black fabric is not as soft. When I washed the black ones for the first time, they emerged from the drier with lint on them, although I have never had such a problem with my washing machine or dryer. The lint was especially hard to remove from the fabric, too.

Why does this item not have a fly? Not the first time I have purchased a product from Bean that should have ,but doesn't have, a fly. Does it cost a lot to add that feature? I don't understand. Otherwise it looks to be well made.

Very thin so only for hot days where you wear shorts instead

The pants are overpriced for what they are. They are also uncomfortable as there is no real padding on the inside of the waistband. It's just the same, thin material as the rest of the pants. You can feel the drawstring tightly around your waist.

XL was too big in the seat, replaced with L, elastic waist is almost too tight. Length is perfect, seat is perfect.

Comfortable, roomy, nice to relax in. Only issue is the draw string. It's useless.

My husband really likes these except for the lack of a fly.

PRODUCT NOT AS EXPECTED 1) No fly front. My fault, should have seen from illustration. 2) Elastic at bottom cuff of pants. This was not expected or wanted. If so, I would have purchased other product. 3) Fabric is great!

These are really comfortable, but one of the reasons I chose them is the fly. Turns out it's fake. What's the point? Disappointing.

Good sizing of waist and length. Would prefer to have a zipper. Washed well. Good fabric.

I would give it five stars except that they tend to have static cling. Otherwise, they are what I expected.

Too thin. Like deep pockets & zipper on rear. Drawstrings at legs don't stay to tighten it.

A great looking pant. However, they tend to slide off my natural waist. I wish the elastic band fit tighter.

Fit good. Look fine. This as gas station toilet paper.

Can't say I liked them much. I did not like the style or fit.

I have a pair in blue that fit well. Ordered same size and style number; but these are small in the waist.

Nice, comfortable pants but too long. Had to return for the next size down from my usual pants length.

Comfortable pants. Could use a little heavier duty waist tie and a fly on the front.

These pants are very comfortable, dry quickly, anod would otherwise be great but there is no fly. So every time to have to.. we'll you have to untie and retire the drawstring. What a pain. Btw, do not order too large. The waist is plenty stretchy.

These are good pants . Tte weight the sizing and the feel are very good . Why only good? As many have written , pants of this quality deserve some kind of a button or a zipper rather than the typical tying cord of sweatpants. The minute something goes into the pocket, the pants sag. Too bad because beyond that these are terrific pants

Fabric feels natural. Drawstring waist is great unless you carry anything (i.e. wallet or mobile phone) in your pocket. They start to drift southward. A zip or button fly would be a welcome addition.

I returned this particular item because they were too long.

I can't say I've had a pair of pants without a fly since I was an infant! Had I known I would not have bought them.
