Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Vista Camp Pants

I typically have excellent luck with LLBean clothing, but not so with the Vista Camp Pants. They fit great and are comfortable. BUT, if you have a dog or cat or wear these pants for any rigorous activity, the fabric will pill and snag. I allowed my 20-lb dog to sit on my lap while wearing the Vista Camp Pants. After only a few days, these pants are no longer wearable.

I ordered a large, which is what I usually order, and these look like CLOWN PANTS, they're so big. Plus mine don't have any ties on the bottom, just a regular hemmed cuff. What's up with that? So, I can either pay to get them altered, on top of the already hefty price, or I can exchange them for a medium and hope they're not too small, or pay to send them back period and be done with them. And since I'm not in a gambling mood, I'll return them and pay shipping, on top of the EXPEDITED shipping to get them here. What a waste of money

I have all colors of these pants and the green are the only ones that the material looked totally worn after half a dozen wearings. Returning immediately. Hopefully just a bad run of this material.

The Vista Camp Pants were the most comfortable pants that I've ever worn! They're a flattering fit and pack well for travel. However, I returned 3 pairs of them when I noticed that the pair I'd worn for just over a year was horribly pilled on the sides near the hip bone and on the upper buttocks. It looked like a cheap sweater that had dense pills in places. A second pair was starting to show the same problem. So I returned both, along with a new pair I'd ordered but not worn yet. I noted a previous reviewer felt the pilling might be caused by contact with a rough seat belt or purse. However, my seat belt is made of a very smooth. I'm not about to drive without a seat belt...safety comes first! These potentially wonderful pants need to be made of a less fragile material. My other style of LLBean cargo pants has lasted many years!

Great fit!! Just love the comfort! Not so great wear. Will pick and pill when sitting on or contacting the least abrasive surface. I sat on a concrete bench, and I the picks to prove it...please make in a different fabric and some different colors. I would try them again.

I ordered the same size I've ordered for years. However, the inseam is so short they do not fit ( and I'm only 4'11) I can't image them working for someone taller than me. The bottom of the pants ( where they are supposed to pull tighter) are also very different. I'm extremely disappointed because I have additional colors in my shopping cart that's I'm going to have to remove. I wish they could establish the same conformity they've had in the past. ( a different pair of pants in same size I'm also returning because they are too large) I've been a customer for over 40 yrs.

I have bought Vista Camp pants for several years... Large, Regular. I have them in every color! They always fit just right - not too short or too long. So I was replacing some pants that were beginning to wear out after several years of daily dog walking and ordered the same size as always. Sadly the length of a regular was about 3.5" longer than before. I can't wear them now without hemming... and for the price I find it unacceptable. The petite length is 2" above my ankle and the regular is 3.5" past my foot on the ground. Literally stepping on them. I've worn these for years as my go to slacks for all sorts of outdoor activities but I will be returning these latest ones and looking elsewhere for slacks that fit. Very disappointed in LLBean

I bought this a couple weeks ago and washed once. These are comfortable and cool but disappointingly, the material is pilling. Lots of little threads.

Love these pants, zippered pockets and so light weight. But wash inside out and pilling all over. Plus body heat fuses pilled fabric together.

You took the pockets off of the legs!??? WHY???? I love the previous pairs that I have because of the extra pockets. What a miss. The seat & legs are cut differently...not comfortable.

Very disappointed with this item. In my opinion, not up to Bean standards. I have shopped Bean for over 20 years, and I feel that recently the quantity of their products do not meet prior standards. I find sizing and quality varies greatly between clothing options. Even after reading reviews, I feel they're not dependable. According to the size chart I ordered a PS, but had to return for a PXS. Finally fit but disappointed in fabric. Even after following laundry guidelines, pants looked like they'd just been removed from the laundry basket, fabric very wrinkled and stitching at seams puckered. Sorry I didn't take a picture before returning them.

I bought these pants a week ago. They run large and feel cheap. The waist has an elastic draw cord and that is about all that holds up the waist. There doesn't feel like there is any structure to the waist other than that cord.

The 2x size is a joke.the waistband goes up over the waist.Way to big in the thighs.will return

I have bought clothes from LL bean for 20 years and usually love the quality except with this product. I own 5 pairs and although I have laundered them inside out and hung to dry all 5 have "pilled" badly. I do not recommend these.

Both pair of pants were snagged up, from sitting down, while being on a long wknd trip. Not durable at all!!! Very comfortable, but quality isn't for 'real' hikers.

I was very disappointed that the crotch measurement has been shortened.

Although I am wearing a very appropriate size, the Vista pants wrinkle when you sit in pleats around your thigh so that when you stand up, they're very obvious. Much like you're wearing cotton pants. I have five L.L. Bean hiking pants which I love, but not this particular style.

I ordered these pants in a Navy petite small and they fit perfectly. I ordered t he exact same size in Thyme. It fit completely differently. It was cut different,y with a lower waist and way too tight.

I liked these, especially when I first put them on, but after just wearing them a bit, the back side hangs in a strange way and it's not flattering.

loose stitching around waist hem, thread unraveling from inseam

Fits too loose and too long Maybe better for chubby ladies

I am a tall, slender woman and generally a Size 4 or 3 fits, but not with these pants. Apparently LLBean no longer caters or has sizes for slender women. These pants (size 2) are big and I have a seriously baggy butt. Can't buy from LL Bean anymore.

These were very thin pants for the cost. I would like for these pants to have been thicker. Like wearing a rainjacket.

Love, love, love the pants, but didn't fit. Too short in the rise even in a medium/tall size. I would have loved if they fit, comfortable and just my style. Why must all pants be mid rise fit???

Really wanted to like these. They pilled almost immediately and look awful. I could use them as gardening pants but they are too expensive for that.
