Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Petite Vista Camp Pants

I like these pants and wear them almost everyday. However if you were to wear them for hiking in the woods, and caught a branch on them they will tear easily as they did for me. And after a few weeks, my dog's paws caused the fabric to pill as a result of him jumping up to greet me. Even though they are comfortable, I couldn't wear them out of the house as the pilling of the fabric makes them look kind of ratty. Very expensive pair of pants to have such flimsy material. I also hang them to dry as they seem to get shorter in the dryer. Wish they would find a sturdier fabric for these pants. But they are comfortable. I wouldn't recommend them if you want them to stay looking like the day you bought them. If worn a lot, the fabric will pill but if you wear them occasionally they will stay looking nice.

Pants are nice, fit OK, have bought before. However, this time I ordered "toasted almond," which appears on my monitor what the name implies, a light-medium brown tone, What I received looks most definitely grey, not at all what was wanted. Returned. (If any almonds I toasted turned this color, I surely wouldn't be eating them!)

I bought the same jeans I already had. I HATE to hem, and the original jeans fit perfectly. These are 3 inches longer. I'll hem them, but I am not happy about it.

Love my 5 pairs of Vista Shorts and was so disappointed when the pants came and I found a weird seam across the knees. Why? I'd understand if they zipped off at this seam but it does nothing but irritate your knees as you move or even just sit. Returned. Please reconsider making the legs smooth across the knees because I know I'd love them.

Everything about these pants is good (fit, comfort, pockets) EXCEPT the string tied waistband. Mine came loose so many times that I plan to remove it and install a proper one with hook or button. I didn't like them coming loose and sliding down my backside...

Great fit, look great but after gently wearing only seven or eight times they began to pill on the thighs. A bad look!

These pants are comfortable and fit well. However, they can't go in the dryer and they can't be ironed so they look pretty rustic even after being washed.

My mom lives in these pants, so I decided to try them. Bought two pairs (blue and green). After a month my green ones started to pill horribly on the front and back! I've only washed them on delicate, inside out and hung dry. I wanted to purchase more colors, but now I'm not so sure. I love everything else about these pants.

I love the feel of the fabric, and the assist finding your size by comparison to other brands is spot on! One problem - none of the pockets are big enough to securely hold my iPhone. I have an iPhone SE, not one of the larger models. I walk my dogs alone, want to have my phone with me in case of emergency. These pants would be perfect if they had a cell phone sized pocket with zippered closure.

I have 3 pairs of these in long (granite, raisin, olive), two in cropped. I like the fabric, the number of pockets, although the ones on the sides are not deep enough for a standard cell phone these days. Cool on hot days, look pretty good on me, and the medium tall is actually long enough for me. However, the stitching on the back has come undone on all three long pairs, the cropped are fine. These pants are far from cheap, and I don't wear then more than once a week, but they're not standing up to regular wear.

I bought 2 pairs several months ago and have worn them a couple times per week. For the price you have to pay for these, they do not hold up. I have already exchanged one pair for a replacement because the stitching on the legs popped. I have pulls on both pairs and little pill balls starting. Stitching has popped on the replacement pair and the other pair. The material has stretch and give, but the stitching is not sewn to allow stretch. So, you have to be careful when bending the legs. I just expected better quality from LLBean.

I liked the pants but I had to return them because they were way too big. So I can't give a good review.

These pants run so big. I'm a size 28 in jeans and bought a medium and the waist is probably like 35 - they're gigantic! The material is very light and nice though.

Excellent pant. However, I definitely needed it in a petite, too long otherwise

Too long. I love the cropped version. They are my go to for sailing, so I thought I'd try the long pants for travel out west. I am 5'6", but I am long waisted with short legs. So the pants version was just too long for me(~2 inches too long). Otherwise, I think they might have been my favorite travel pants.

I have another pair in a different color which I have enjoyed so much. This pair, however, fits differentlyalmost a size smaller.

A bit too baggy for me to love these pants, but I'm afraid the next smaller size may be too tight to move around for outdoor activities. I ordered what has always been my true LL Bean size.

This is my second pair of pants that I have purchased. They are comfortable and lightweight. But the stitching on them sucks!!

I'm still not sure if I'm happy with this. I bought a L (14-16) because I thought M (10-12) would be to small. It feels like it might be a tad to big. I usually wear a 12 or 14 depending on the brand. I love the fabric, pockets, etc. I'm undecided about ordering a M to try.

I've been purchasing these for a few years, always a size large. My previous ones are loose and baggy, which is how I like them. But the new one in a size large was tight. Maybe it was mismarked (?). I had to return them.

Elastic drawstring makes it impossible to keep up.

I can't seem to get them in wrinkled out of the dryer and I don't want to iron them.

I have three pairs of these pants, one is the capri style. I'm 5'2", 130 lbs, and the small is a comfortable fit. These pants can be worn as casual or a little dressier. I don't understand these manufacturers who put a useless pocket on pants. I have a regular size iPhone....not a large one. It won't fit securely in the pocket. Make the pockets FUNCTIONAL, not just decorative.

The pants are comfortable, maybe better if there was more spandex so they aren't so baggy. The stitching tends to pull out, esp across the top of the knee/thigh. The side & hip pockets are too small to carry a cell phone. Otherwise, they are lightweight for travel & fill the need.

Given as a gift, I cannot accurately rate this product.
