Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Vista Camp Short 6"

These are very light weight and fit great. I feel like they may be a little too long for my liking.

Nice, soft fabric that moves easily for workouts and biking. I bought these to replace other shorts I was wearing for workouts which didn't fit as close to the leg; these fit a bit closer to the leg, but I'd give them a 5 if they were about 1/4" - 1/2" narrower in leg opening. My other shorts were stiffer, too.

I love LLBean's Vista Camp pants. I wear them year round. I wanted to try the shorts, but these were too short for my taste. That is the only negative about them. I reordered the Bermuda length and they are great! Zip pockets, comfortable waist, lightweight. Perfect!

Haven't worn them much yet, but I like the fit. The material is comfortable and looks like it will dry quickly

These shorts are very comfortable, cool fabric, and I love the zippered pockets. I have these shorts in both navy and granite. The only downside I have found is that the navy shorts fabric is pilling. It's definitely not the quality I would expect from LL Bean, and especially not for the price. Other than that I love the shorts.

These shorts are very cool and comfortable, and they fit well. They have nice-sized zippered pockets that are super-useful. The only thing I don't like is that they are 100% nylon and spandex, fibers that have good properties but are derived from petroleum. I bought them anyway because I needed shorts in a hurry for a warm-weather vacation, but I generally prefer natural or environmentally-friendly fabrics (e.g. Tencel).

Comfortable and quick drying. Fits well and wicks. Resists stains

I wanted the longer version of these shorts but Bean was sold out, so I tried these. Too short! Please get the longer ones back before summer is over!

These are great shorts for camping, but too short to wear in town to run errands, go shopping, etc. The fabric and drape are nice, they're lightweight and pack well, but just too short. And the Bermuda shorts are all sold out! Please, Mr. Bean, get some more Bermudas!

I REALLY like these shorts - they fit perfectly and make me look sharp. They're a little shorter than the Treking Shorts which I feel gives me more flexibility in clambering around. I also like the zippered pockets. I would give them a 5 but would prefer them to be made out of recycled material, if possible.

While I'm not a fan of drawstrings (they add more bulk to my already-bulky waist), I've really enjoyed these shorts. I have them in 2 colors and am considering a third. After gaining a few Covid pounds, I really appreciate the elastic waist - the shorts fit now, but should also work well when/if I eventually shed those pounds. The very lightweight fabric takes a little getting used to, but is very comfortable for hot Southern summers.

Good pants. Wish they had velcro or a zipper on the back pockets to make them more "useable". The middle tends to fold over when tied so they'll stay up. (The middle ends up looking like a scrunchy around my waist.) Other than that, I put my money in one front pocket, my phone in the other, zip and go.

Lightweight and plenty of pockets. Just two minor complaints: (1) the back pockets are too low, and (2) the pants wrinkle. Taking advice from other reviewers, I ordered a size smaller than I normally wear. I usually wear medium bottoms, so I ordered small. The small fits just right.

These shorts are great but I wish that the ties had been made shorter. Even though I tie them before washing, they always seem to come undone and then get caught in my dryer. One set has already been destroyed. I cut them off and am still wearing the shorts.

I love these shorts. I've always found LLBean to be very true to size, so I'm surprised to see some reviews stating they run large. Maybe it's just my wishful thinking, but I think they are right-on regarding size. Does anyone know how they feel if they get wet? Planning on wearing them to an amusement park that has some water rides. Wondering if I need to bring a change of clothes. Want to avoid chafing.

Shorts are very comfortable and light. I would like to see these with a 4 inch length for those of us who wear petite sizes. I had to hem them for the desired length. Otherwise I'd purchase again.

I am a medium in pretty much every other bottom, but these were unwearably large. Need to size down to a small. Material is very soft - can see why these shorts have such great review

soft and comfy, a little tighter in the waist than the capri and pant vista camp. the pockets zip, which is great, but b/c these are so light weight the zipper doesn't lay flat and it's a little uncomfortable at times putting my hand in and out of the pocket, not uncomfortable enough to keep me from wearing these A LOT.

I wanted some comfy shorts to lounge around my home, and these are very comfortable. The fabric is light and stretchy, and the waistband is not constricting at all. I do wish they were shorter. I think the inseam on these is 7 inches in a plus size. I would have preferred something closer to 5 inches.

I would like to see another version of these shorts with a 9 inch inseam and no back pockets. They aren't very flattering and side pockets are enough. Otherwise, very nice.

These are comfortable nylon shorts. Didn't give it a 5 because drawstring in waist is way too long, and if you cut it, you have a ragged edge.

I have a really difficult time finding shorts that fit and are long enough for my standards. I'm 5'11" and generally wear a size 14/16. But, I have The Hips and The Thighs...if you know what I mean. I bought 2 pair of these shorts (blue and the camp green). The colors are neutral and the pockets are large enough for a wallet or your average cell phone. I do wish there was a little more give in the hip/thigh area. I think if I'd ordered an XL, that would probably be a better fit - but I worry the waist would be too large then. (That happens a lot.) The main thing for me was the length; they're about mid thigh!! The material is super light and great for hiking, etc. Though, I'll honestly just be wearing these all summer - biking, grocery store, hanging around the house.

I am so happy with these shorts, the elastic waist is super comfortable, they wash and dry easily, the zipper pockets are great to hold my oversized phone. I have two pairs (black and gray) and they are all I've worn since it's become warmer. These are the perfect shorts to wear during the pandemic. I call them my comfy shorts.

Fit and fabric are great . I wish you had a longer version...just a few inches; not capri, but Bermuda shorts length.. And how about some light colors? kacki, medium blue? I would buy more.

The fabric is wonderful, worth the price. It gives without looking like it stretches. The material is light and non-bulky, good for racket sports, among other things, and very light weight in feel.
