What customers say:
The reviews provide mixed feedback on the quality and fit of these zip-off hiking pants. Many customers found the pants to be well-made, lightweight, and versatile, with the zip-off feature praised as convenient. However, a significant number reported issues with the fit, including the pants running small or large and an unflattering shape around the hips and thighs. The pockets were also criticized as too small, and some customers noted quality control problems like poor stitching and uncomfortable zippers. While some were satisfied, the majority of reviews suggest the pants need improvement in design and manufacturing to meet customer expectations.

Great summer pants
This item is comfortable and good looking. It is light weight and quick drying. These long pants are perfect for summer hiking when you want bug protection without heaviness.

We’re sorry the pants were disappointing in fit. We’re glad you returned them- we never want you to keep anything from L.L.Bean that isn’t completely satisfactory.

Tight at the thigh zipper
Inseam Purchased: Petite
Height: 5'2"
Size Purchased: X-Large
Used for: Fishing
At 5'2" tall, the petite is a little short on me. The thigh and leg is great, not too loose, not too tight, but the zipper area is tight, sometimes uncomfortable when bending down.
