Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Cronin Cotton Pants

As I may have mentioned in a previous review for this website, Arc'teryx seems to be one of the few brands (if not the one) that truly "gets" my body type, which, I'd like to think, is rather average (and certainly not one of a professional outdoor athlete, far from it). In other words, the fit, especially the length (long inseam), is perfect, especially in combination with the material used, which allows for a wide range of movements, among other benefits. I should not that I have yet to use these pants for its intended purpose, that is, bouldering (inside or in the gym), but I expect it would confirm this impression. (I will test it soon.) It certainly performs well in my daily life (knowledge work involving a bike commute all year round), and it is not too casual for my line of work. It reminds me of a pair of Gamut pants that I used for several years starting around 2005, 2006, which also quickly became my go-to, do everything pants. They held up really well, and I assume this will also be the case for these pants. They are, clearly, not cheap, but then again, if used they way I use them, these costs will be offset by the experience of happy ownership and greal pants for years to come.

Love the fit and comfortable material. 6'3" 190 lbs. the 34R are perfect. Only thing I would like is a built in belt. Great job Arc'teryx!

The Cronin Cotton Pants have a clean, classic look with the comfort you expect from Arc'teryx. The cotton fabric feels soft yet substantial and has a quality weight that drapes well. They are easy to move in and comfortable enough for all-day wear, whether at work, traveling, or out around town. They strike a nice balance between casual and refined, which makes them versatile for many situations. The fit is flattering without feeling tight, and the build quality is excellent. These have quickly become a go-to choice when I want something that looks good and feels even better.

I love these pants!! I have large thighs and struggle to find pants that fit me comfortably. Often I will have to buy pants 1 or 2 waist sizes too large just so I can be comfortable through the thigh. These pants leave plenty of room yet the waist still fits true to size; it's very freeing to not require a belt! The material is soft and perfectly stretchy. The style is awesome, love the extra pockets. I waited to review these until I'd washed them a few times as I've had issues with colourfastness with other Arcteryx fabric pants and after 4 washes I'm happy to say that this is not an issue with this line. I would buy these again for sure.

very comfortable

Good balance between toughness and comfort. I've used these for daily wear and light activity and they've held up well.

These pants are legit. I figured I would splash out as I'm in them more than my recreational pants. They do not disappoint. Really good fit, stylish and practical! Would have been nice if the ruler pocket was on the right side though. Good work Arc'teryx

Arc'teryx brought back the fit I loved from the original Cronin pant with a great material thats durable, stretches with movement and very comfy. Definitely a relaxed fit, but TTS I normally wear a 32R and purchased just that. Very happy with this design.

These are the most comfortable pants I own. They're useful for work, for just hanging out and, to be honest, they look great all the time. They last forever, and they're easy to wash and dry. All round terrific!

I can bring them to the bouldering gym, go climbing and/or hike outdoors in nearly any weather, wear them casually, and look pretty alright while doing it (unlike with some Patagonia, REI, 686, Prana alternatives I've tried). They're extremely durable and the tall is actually a tall. I originally had been recommended to me for winter hiking & snow, but I'm actually not sure how the material would fare there (no DWR, etc), but I've been happy for nearly every other use. Hope they last a long time.

By far the best pants I have ever had, not just for climbing but for everything. The best part is the feel like cotton but will stretch like spandex.

Comfort and long durability, if there are more colors that will be better.

Extremely comfortable with an exceptional fit. The fabric feels ultra-lightweight yet impressively durable. I also really love the design the color, pockets, buttons, and all the little details

I use this piece of clothing for my commute cycling. It's a very comfortable and stylish garment.

These pants are awesome. True to size. Stretchy, articulated and room for athletic thighs. You can high step. You can squat. I don't usually leave reviews, but these pants are perfect.

I use these as work pants for fieldwork in East Africa, the colourway, comfort, durability and weight make them my go to pair!

These are incredibly comfortable trousers. Great fit and durable. Material is soft and tough at the same time. Love the leg pocket and the other pockets have a very soft liner and are deep.

The new stretch material fixes the only thing I didn't like about my old Cronin pants. No more tightness or binding when sitting and moving around. Great revision.

My favorite camp/casual pants I own. Look great with an oversized tee, or if you roll up slightly to show some ankle meat. I sized down to a 30. I normally wear a 32, but the Cronin 32 was too large for me.

Love these. Bought them in the olive colour too. They're super comfortable, practical with a couple of useful pockets, although the zip pocket could be a bit bigger to be honest. They look great with anything !

By far the best fitting, most comfortable and stylish pants from the current range. I have a Black pair, I have been trying to get some in Tatsu for literally 6+ months but they never seem to restock!

I completely love these pants. They fit loose and comfortable. The old style and material was better, but I was really excited these were brought back. Great pants. I now have 3 pair.

Most comfortable pants I own. Fit is superb although I probably could have got the short models at 5-9 5-10. Keeping doing your thing dead bird gang.

Arc'teryx is one of the few companies that truly "get" my body right (although it is, I suspect, an average-sized dad bod) and where the sizing is, the way I see it, accurate and consistent. These pants are certainly not cheap (and usually out of stock), but I will wear them as often as possible and for a wide range of contexts. The feel of the fabirc, fit, and finish are unparalleled. I regard this as an investment that will pay dividends for, if previous purchases for similar products are something to go by, a long time.

Love these parts. Keep coming back for more. With more colors, now I have three pairs.
