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

They fit well but could be supported at the waist better.

Good pants, skinny jean style but a thin material that will be great for spring and through summer.

They are comfortable and easy to care for. They ride up when you sit down and ultimately when you stand up it looks like you are wearing capris.

I wound prefer non stretch however, the fit is comfortable.

The fit 30/29 is perfect. They look and feel good are lightweight and I am amazed to see that they are made from from nylon and spandex - they do not look anything like synthetic or shiny, they look really good. I bought them mainly for traveling and cannot yet comment of performance.

I would rate 5 stars, but the left hip pocket is too loose.

Needed to use up a 2 year old gift certificate so went for these trousers. Fit well. Light weight. But because they are not made of a natural product, they are quite warm on a hot day. Do not hold a press very well. Yet to see how they will hold up. Not inexpensive - as is the mantra at L L Bean these days.

Returning them because any shrinkage will make the 34" inseam too short.

Loved the material, the color and the fit, which is slim. There is so much stretch everywhere except where some of us need it most: the waist. The waist band has a tiny bit of give but is certainly not stretchy at all. They fit me very well but the rigid waist was a dealbreaker.

Well fitting, good stretch for traveling, not baggy as some of the hiking pants become, good all around athletic pant. Easy to stain, easy to wash.

material was a little on the thin side

Good look, great fit and fabric and very comfortable to wear.

Nice pants, I loved the stretchy material and the pants fit well, felt comfortable but the waist seemed really small.

I order 33x30 standard fit from Bean all the time. This in the first pair of pants that has been too tight at the waist. Not only that, but to call these "stretch" is a stretch. (As in, the waist had NO stretch to it.)

Great jeans, very comfortable and able to dress up, business casual. The colors are a bit off and the only reason I am marking them lower. The brown and green are extremely hard to tell apart, the brown is a bit off and unfortunately !!!!!!!Katahdin brown has been removed for some reason. These are worth the buy and I want to buy more, but the color situation is frustrating and making me look elsewhere, unfortunately.

I have many men's clothing items from LLB. Some of them are many years old and still fit and look good. It is very concerning to see the sizing problems, design and manufacturing problems over the last year or so. Your supply chain and quality needs an upgrade.

I love these pants for going out or doing things where they definitely won't get damaged. That said, I got a new pair of recently and wore them one day while on vacation. I'm not even sure what happened, but I must have rubbed up against a brick wall or something like that. In any case, the pants were visibly damaged by what must've been fairly light abrasion since I wasn't even aware of it. So while they look and feel nice, they're not particularly sturdy.

Okay but not a favorite. I really want to wear them more often but they began to pill after the first few washes (and I am very careful to follow directions on how to care for them.

I purchased a 36" waist in the pants, too small. I then purchased a 38" waist, too large. I'll keep the 36" waist with the small chance I'll loose weight (hope reigns eternal) but returning the 38" waist. So wish LL Bean would offer odd waist sizes like Lands' End.

Pretty comfortable, and a clean look that is almost office appropriate. Hold up well in very light rain, but repellant is quickly overwhelmed in heavier downpours. Biggest problem though is the pockets; my phone barely fits and is at constant risk of falling out. Only pocket with a zipper is in the back.

I bought these to replace another pair of LLB synthetic travel trousers. That was a very uncomfortable product and is now discontinued. This is better, but it still needs work imo. The pockets are a little too shallow, and the nylon fabric could be more breathable and comfortable against the skin. The "Asian cut" is a bit tight in the legs and crotch. I prefer the Cresta hiking trousers, which are more comfortable, but those are a poor choice for the office and proper occasions, where the Venture Stretch would be more acceptable. I am not going to return these, but I probably won't buy them again.

The pants are fine but they are clearly a summer weight. I have just put them in the closet until next summer.

I bought two pairs of these pants last year and loved them. Perfect weight and material. So I purchased two more pairs recently only to find that the material is not the same, more light and flimsy. I called LLBean and the person I spoke to said as far as then know the material is the same...but something is different and not as good.

These trousers are cut extremely wide in the thigh. So much so that they looked funny, more like a costume than a wearable pair of trousers. The length which the label said was 30 inches was more like 34 inches. The photo looks like they are slightly tight fitting which is what I would expect from stretch fabric but the shape of them makes them unwearable for me. I sent them back.

Great fit at a reasonable price. I bought these for my son and he preferred them to other similar brands until the hem stitching fell out after just a couple of washes. He plans to return/exchange them.
