Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Pants Fleece-Lined

The vista camp pants fleece lined ...unfortunately are short in the rise. Very uncomfortable. I have the unlined pants and 2 pair of the joggers. Love them. Thought the fleece lined was a great idea for the colder months. Sadly I will return them.

I washed these pants once and now there is a pull in the fabric. I usually doesn't spend this much for pants and I splurged on these so I am really disappointed.

I have 2 pairs of vista camp pants and 2 pairs of vista crop pants which I just about live in. I ordered the medium which is what my other 4 pairs are but these were cut much narrower and didn't fit.

An elastic drawstring...CANNOT tighten comfortably and it will roll in waistband! And, cuffs that snug-up - great idea...except now you have a loop with NO place to put it to keep it clean. Yes, you could tuck it under the cuff, however, when hiking, thinking it will not stay there.... LL Bean - winners at thinking proactively missed out here.

It is difficult to get these pants on and off because the lining is not well-anchored. It is fastened at the cuff and the waist but not at the inseam or outseam. It gets tangled easily. I have much cheaper lined pants and the lining moves with the outer layer to make it easy to get on and off. For what I paid for these pants, they should not be so difficult to handle.

I bought these for my wife. She was gracious and said she likes them but pointed out the "draw string" is weird. Now, I'll cut to the chase. The pants are great. The elastic draw string is useless. I intentionally shopped for a pair of pants that could be worn tight around the waist without a belt. An elastic string isn't good for that. The seamstress that is trying to repair them even asked, why would anyone do that? I hope ll bean has a good return policy. I can see keeping them and returning them every time the elastic gets stressed out or breaks.

Love the style and fit, the problem is fabric. Wear a few times and it starts to pill up. If it rubs slightly from your coat, pill. Purchased 2 pairs and took them back to the store

They are not as warm and durable as the fleece lined hiking pants I bought a few years ago and loved! I wish you still made those!

I bought these pants for winter hiking because it says they are "fleece lined." I expected them to be lined as a fleece lined jacket is lined, with solid texture fleece like a very lightweight fleece pullover would be made of. Instead, these pants are lined with a very light waffle weave type fleece that is definitely not insulating or warm. Because of the nature of the waffle texture, cold air and wind can easily get through.

I SO wanted to love these pants... they have everything I was looking for... warmth, lightweight, comfort... but the fabric and construction seem to be of inferior quality for LL Bean. (I shop here frequently!) I only washed them ONCE and the outer fabric crinkled up and is no longer smooth against the lining... They are also pilling in the rear and they don't fit as they did prior to washing. For the price of these pants, I expected much higher quality.
