Rated 5 out of 5 by GJMOM Soft, comfortable chinos!
My son, who insists that anything other than nylon gym pants is too itchy and gives him a rash, loved these pants as soon as he pulled them on. The fabric really is unusually soft and comfortable. They fit him very well, too - he is fairly tall and athletic with solid "tree trunk" legs and a round bottom. Many pants are snug in the rear on him but not these. These will be my go-to dress pants from now on.

Rated 2 out of 5 by LoriBG too wide in the leg for today's style
The good: soft, comfortable material. nice color. The bad: WAY to wide in the cut of the leg - like clown pants on my 10 year old. Will be sending them back.

Rated 4 out of 5 by WillingOma Back to school pants
These L.L. Bean Chinos from the boy's department were as acceptable to the 10 and 12 year old wearers as they were to me, their grandmother. I could have wished for stronger cloth but the styling is just what we asked for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bikebeach Good pants for school
I have been getting these for my son to wear to school for the last two years. He says they are comfortable and prefers them to jeans. I have been through sizes 8-14 and they wash and wear very well. Wrinkling is minimal, I hang them up right out of the dryer. When I compare the older pairs with the new ones, there has been only slight fading (navy). I have had to sew a couple of buttons back on this year, but he did stay in size 12 almost the whole year, so they got a lot of wear. They have been true to size and fit well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jjmeyer Excellent pants
Excellent pants.....had to wait 2 mos to get them as they were on back order, but they were well worth the wait!! Love the color, the feel, how they wash up, and especially that my son likes them.

Rated 4 out of 5 by TwinCitiesCouple good kids pants
These are comfortable, EXCEPT for the adjustable-waist-buttons that always irritate my kid's skin (LLBean should really design a better system for this). Definitely not play pants, but good for school and stuff.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BRMom Good pants for play and school
I bought these for my 7 year old son who is taller and thin. They were a little big - good thing they have the buttons on the inside to cinch in the waist, and they were a little a long. However, they are very soft and he will grow in to them.

Rated 4 out of 5 by CityWalker9 Great Uniform Pants
Bought this for my 8-year old son in Navy Blue, for school uniform. They are comfortable & fit well. The fabric is a bit thin for winter, though, and I'm not sure how long until the knees wear out.

Rated 3 out of 5 by halifaxgirl great fabric but way too big
I'm very disappointed in the fit of these pants. As soon as I took them out of the package I could see the size 12's were way too wide in the leg for my 10 year old. He had grown out of his size 10 pants in length. He's not a beanpole - just normal for his age.

Rated 4 out of 5 by momof8yrold Soft and comfortable
We ordered a size 10 for our tall 8 year old son. He is quite picky about the pants he will wear. They can't be stiff or too tight. He has a slim build but does not wear slim sizes. He really likes these pants and especially like their soft feel right out of the box. They get softer as you wash them.
