Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Gamma Lightweight Pants

This pant is the best-fitting lightweight technical pant I have worn. Durable while chimneying and off-widthing in Yosemite, stretchy and comfortable both against the skin and over long underwear. I like the fit because they are high enough to sit over my hips, nicely tapered for a slimmer fit and the fabric holds the rolls when I roll them up (I have very short legs). The inside of the waist is comfortable, the little waist-adjusting tab is magic and the thigh pocket fits my iPhone with the case on it which is ideal for multi-pitching. The only thing that would make them better IMO would be a second cargo thigh pocket. I am typically a 4 in pants and the 2 in these pants fit me perfectly.

I love these pants. They fit perfectly! I'm 5'2' 100 lbs and got the 00S

Lightweight material is great for hikes esp in the summer. I got a size 4 with Regular in seam and it fits me just right with enough room for movement. My measurements - waist 27" hips 35" height 5'4". Regular inseam falls just right below my ankles.

I love these pants so much! I bought them to be a versatile hiking & travel pant for a trip through 4 continents and wore them almost every day. I am so happy with them. Comfy, water resistant, stretchy, look nice, 3 good sized zipper pockets. I think the sizing is a bit weird but for me it was absolutely perfect. I'm 5'2", 115 pounds. Pants are always too long on me. I bought a size 2 (which is strange, I'm usually 4-6) and they are the perfect length and fit. They were a bit snug at first but stretched a bit overtime so now they are slim but not snug.

Overall great everyday pants. Short length with tapered fit for me (just under 5'7") is great. I like the waist cinch and use the side leg pocket all the time. Plus they don't ride down when putting anything with weight in it. Crotch is a bit roomy but I do have small/athletic hips. Biggest peeve is they are noisy. I've even had comments from others so these are my 'noisy pants'.

I don't usually write reviews but these pants have really disappointed me. I had the previous Gamma LT and when I tell you they were the *best all-rounder pant I've ever had*, I don't mean that lightly. The old gammas fit amazing (super flattering) and were super versatile: climbing 10/10, hiking 10/10, daily wear 10/10. They were just absolutely fantastic. Quite tragically, they got stolen a few months ago (long story), so I decided to buy a new pair. These do not even come close. The material is different, feeling really quite restricting at times around the upper thigh particularly with flexible moves when climbing (I'm an athletic build, so my waist and upper thigh/hip can be tricky to size with pants). I got exactly same size, yet these hover above the ankle in a weird way, and the overall fit is really quite unflattering, bunching around the hip area. I usually love how arcteryx fits and their choice of materials, but this one fell really short of their usual standard, in my opinion. This review is just to say bring back the old gammas!!!! They were so amazing, and it makes me so sad that they've been discontinued. If anyone is getting these hoping for something similar to their previous version, please do not bother :(

I bought a pair of these in 2023 and they were a perfect fit. They changed the design and now it creases horizonally all the way across the hips instead of laying flat. I bought two expecting the same fit but must return them. Otherwise the gamma's were the best pant all around. could hike in them and wear them to the office. also I liked the elastic on the bottom of the pant. far better to work with.

4R size fits me really well (waist 27" hips 35" height 5'4"). I used this during my trip in Guilin hiking up at 300-1000 steps uphill 4 different mountains and it was very comfortable. Its lightweight and breathable. I love it! Worth every penny!

I purchased these pants in 00 short and they fit perfectly. Perfect length and no gap in the back. I use these pants for cycling, hiking, travel and around town. Recently, I took them on a 2 month bikepacking adventure in South America. Travelling light, I took only one pair of pants. I was so impressed with them, that I now have 4 pairs!

Bought these pants during my Banff camping trip to wear hiking. The weather in Banff was unpredictable and these pants were perfect for cold and warm days. Functionality was great considering I was hiking most days for long hours. Overall, recommend these pants for anyone looking for hiking pants for those days where unpredictable weather.

I love these so much I got two pairs. Super lightweight, these are perfect for hot summer days when you still want your skin covered. The thigh pocket is perfect for a phone or bar - even when wearing a climbing harness. I've worn these for every outdoor climbing day this summer and the thin fabric has held up to rocks and wear. I'm really hoping they're released in a reddish brown. Just a note that the fabric does stain easily - if you live in an apt with shared laundry, don't wash in a communal machine as residue from other people's detergent and fabric softener will create unsightly stains. Luckily, they dry super fast, so I generally handwash in a sink.

I love these pants because they are light, stretchy, and have deep pockets, making them comfortable for a variety of activities or even work. I bought them about six months ago and wear them almost every day. One thing to note, though, is that the pocket openings can be a bit high, which can be uncomfortable. If you use a backpack with a hip belt, the zippers of the pockets can put pressure on your body, creating some discomfort. I found a solution by unzipping the pockets, allowing the zippers to shift below the belt of the backpack, which helped.

These Gamma LT Pants W are the best pants for golf that I've found. Style and versatility. I'm a male, but these 2 reg fit perfectly. The legs are trim and when walking in wet grass they do not pick up any moisture. The extra zip pockets are a bonus. Bought two pairs, expensive but worth it. I hope they do not change the style or the lightweight material. Will buy more next year or when on sale.

For me, these pants provide outstanding comfort, versatility, and fit. At 5'2" and about 100 pounds, I usually have difficulty finding pants that fit well; but the 00 size is perfect for me. I wear them hiking, traveling, to dinner parties, and around town. The weight of the fabric has been comfortable for spring temperatures.

Super lgers, stretch et polyvalents, ce sont vraiment des pantalons passe-partout peu importe l'activit. Parfait pour la vie de tous les jours, mais aussi pour faire de l'escalade, de la randonne et du camping.

This is my go-to climbing pant for warmer weather!

I have 2 pairs of these and they are the best climbing pants I've owned. Really comfortable and lightweight. My first pair is still holding up after 5 years of climbing.

I bough these pants some months ago and I've been living in the since. I absolutely love the colours and, especially the fabrics are GREAT! From climbing to hiking, basically almost all outdoor sports! I'm so ready for summer!

Enjoyed the fit overall. If you have slimmer hips, you may encounter excess fabric in the crotch area. The pants are lightweight and breathable. They feel durable. Note: they do make some swishing noises due to the fabric.

I am 5'6 and 130lbs and these pants fit like a dream. They are great for summer alpine ascents and if I add a base layer I feel comfortable at the crag in temps as low as 30F. They are my go to climbing pants as they pack down small and have 3 secure pockets. The only reason these pants got 4 stars instead of 5 is that I think the button used to fasten could be a little stronger.

These are my go to pant for summer alpine climbing days. I love how well they move. Belt system works with harness better than most imo. The zipper pockets are my favorite feature, I can keep a phone in my hip pocket and it is secure and easy to take quick photos.

Had an old pair of these pants in the men's version and used them all over the world from climbing in red rocks to shoulder season alpine expedition in the bugs or summer in chamonix. Though the women's fits my body better. Used these pants on a recent trip to kalymnos and they held up the knee bars and protected my legs from the prickly things. These versions have a button instead of a hook(on men's version) which is a better subtle design, though time will tell how long that button will last. Also use them for travelling as the mid thigh pocket was large enough to carry a passport or phone for easy access. And the zippered pockets deters pick pocketing. Light, breathable, versatile - but definitely not useful for those grovel sessions on an off width.

Hiking. Breathable, zippered thigh pocket and 2 hip pockets. Please add the 2nd zippered thigh pocket that you used to have. I need it! Otherwise, these are excellent hiking pants.
