Customer Reviews L.L.Bean VentureStretch Five-Pocket Pants, Standard Fit, Straight Leg, Standard Fit, Straight Leg

Excellent fit and fabric. Very well made and look dressy enough to wear to business functions.

I wore Venture stretch pants on flight to Denver and then while hiking in Arches and Canyonland NP's.Very comfortable,durable,stylish and easy to care for while traveling.A great purchase.

Hard to find the perfect fit for me, but these are indeed that! Comfortable, and great on the golf course. I've gotten all available colors.

Perfect fit and very comfortable. They sit low on the waist which is great for me.

I just wore these on a three day backpacking trip through a National Wilderness area in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. As this area has no maintained trails I wasn't sure if they would hold up. Despite nearly 20 miles of beating brush, crawling over deadfall and sometimes having to crawl up muddy slopes, the pants never tore. I have since purchased a second pair and as long as LL Bean continues to offer these pants at such a great price, I plan to keep buying them.

These look great and fit amazing. Played 18-holes in them and they were perfect for an early fall day. These will be my go-to golf pants for years to come.

These are great pants. Light weight, comfortable, and right in that sweet spot of nice enough to wear to a casual workplace, but not at all formal. The thing I'm happiest about, though, is that LL Bean offers these (and so many of its pants) with a 29" inseam. PLEASE KEEP DOING THIS AND YOU WILL HAVE MY BUSINESS FOREVER!!! But really, even if you don't have Hobbit legs like I do, you'll probably love these pants.

I was determined to get away from wearing blue jeans and found these pants are just perfect. Light weight, slightly stretchy, and comes in waist increments of 1 inch! (30-36) I like the tapered leg also. I look and feel like I am a big boy now!

I love these! So sorry I did not purchase other colors originally! Light , easy care. A perfect summer long pants. Yes a new fit for this 73yo.. fashionable.

Very nice stretch material, very well made pants. They look as good at the beginning as they do the end of the evening. Love these pants.

My husband's usual pant size is 34/29. Ordered that size first and they were too tight in the waist. Re-ordered 35/29 and they fit nicely. Pants have narrower legs which are perfect for the man with thin legs. Very comfortable and great travel pants, plus they're nice enough to "dress" up if necessary.

Incredible range of motion. When I'm bouldering in these, I can't even tell I'm wearing pants. The gusseted crotch makes them so comfy. The material and the slim cut make them work with nice shoes and shirt. Super versatile and worth every penny.

the pants are light weight and very comfortable. i can wear them to a semi dressy dinner with a nice shirt and sweater or to a casual walk in the park with a tee shirt. they look good either way. Again very comfortable.

These pants are fantastic. Cool, light and breezy. Fit nicely if you're a standard fit person. The crotch gusset gives perfectly when getting in or out of a vehicle. They resemble jeans but a little more style. Color is solid and seams run quite true. I like them so much that I ordered a second pair. I'm so happy.

I have been searching for the perfect pair of pants for the greater part of 2 years, and i am happy to say that it is finally over now that I have these bad boys. Stretchy, breathable, water resistant, ample pocket space, hidden zippered pocket, light, gusset crotch, tapered leg, meshed pocket for additional breathability, and nice color choices. Most importantly, the stretchiness of the fabric allows me to wear these with a slim look AND they can accommodate my thick thighs (I bike and work out). Most other boutique technical pants (and i have tried them all trust me) do not have that stretch and it ends up contraining my thighs uncomfortably. The only small gripe I have is that the waist has zero stretch... wish some of the stretchiness was there as well. I probably will have to sew on an additional "hidden" button to accomodate my occassionally bloated belly. Also I had received two pants that were the same waist but it seemed like one of them was much tighter than the other. Had to return the other otherwise I would have kept both. But! still, these pants are as close to perfect as it gets for me. I am planning a minimalist one-bag indefinite world tour and I might only bring these as my outdoor long pants. I can see these in formal, casual, and hiking settings. Thank you LL BEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very pleased with this purchase. Jeans are a nice weight with sufficient stretch without being baggy. Recommended

I am always searching for a great fitting pair of pants and believe I have found them. These pants are perfect. The leg is not too baggy but not too tight. A smooth and tapered fit. I am not a 38 or 36 so the waist on the 38 was a great fit. Again not too big and not too snug. Length was spot on. I plan to use these for golf but wear them for work. They are comfortable and move with you. Try em and you'll like em.

These are fine pants. These and the Cresta Hiking Pants are my current goto pants.

I took my first hike in these pants and they preformed very well. It was a hot day and they breathed quite well and kept me comfortable. The waist on these pants are large. I normally wear a size 34 waist. I bought and returned a 34 & 33 waist version. Then bought a size 32. They fit perfectly.

Very happy with the look, fit and comfort.

These very comfortable pants are good for hiking, lounging, and everyday wear to work. I use the "coin" pocket for storing my car key fob and my house keys. Additionally, the zipper pocket in the back provides a safe place to put my wallet. The fabric is a bit more substantial than my Lululemon jeans and just as comfortable. I wish there was another, larger, "coin" pocket to store my iPhone. All in all an LL Bean home run!

I struggle to find pants with a length less than 30 inches that actually fit and these definitely were a breath of fresh air. I bought three pairs and wear them all the time. They are a slimmer fit on the legs so not a lot of extra fabric. I would definitely buy more if they made them in more colors!

I walk or bike commute to an office job and they don't seem to get too "gamey." These pants look great both in and out of work and they feel pretty comfortable. I don't have to change out of them when I get home and play with my small children in the yard, park, or on the trampoline. I like them a lot so far--a cheat code for a simplified life.

Very comfortable yet look good enough for work or going out. A great alternative to jeans when you need to look presentable but also have grown accustomed to wearing sweatpants all day long working from home!

I bought these pants to update my hiking/travel pant collection from Bean. These are so different...in the best way. I have the cresta pants, which are amazing, but these have less of a nylon-feel, even though they are made of nylon. Much quieter if you know what I mean. they are a little thicker and much softer. The leg isn't slim but more of a straight leg. Would have liked to see side pockets on these. I purchased the black, which is super black. These could go hiking but also out for the night. Buttons and stuff are solid. Like most all Bean products, they will surely last many adventures...and years...and years... Get two!
