I got these pants for my Mt. Lion and they are great! The fit is good and they are comfortable. When I first received them I was worried about durability but after 4 months of heavy use they still look new.

If you are looking for uniform pants that fit like a pair of skinny jeans, then these are the pants for you. These pants are tight across the front, the seat, and in the thighs. And the pockets bulge out. The waist fits correctly and I am a pretty thin guy. So the tightness in those areas is not because I ordered the wrong size or have a stout physique. The previous style of zip-off uniform pants had a number of problems, which are documented in reviews. This new style is no better, and perhaps worse. I am very disappointed with this product, and very disappointed that the Trail Life Store doesn’t offer a good quality option for official uniform pants.

Pant legs are way too small. They look like they are glued on. Called and ask to return but had problems.

Iāve now tried both the old style and new style troop pants and had the same problem with each. On my 6ā4ā frame the waistband came almost up to my armpits. Who is supposed to wear these? They wouldnāt even fit Shaq. Thereās no way to fix this kind of fitment issue either. So if you wear a 46-48ā waist donāt bother ordering these pants unless you are close to 8ā tall.
On a different note I did see that they were super lightweight. Thereās no way of telling how durable they would have been with my brief exposure.

I had my pants hemmed and noticed the serging on the leg was missing a thread and useless for unraveling. I wore them to the meeting and got there 30 minutes early. I looked at my left cargo pocket and noticed it was becoming unstitched. As I looked closer I noticed I was about to lose the items in my pocket because the bottom of the pocket was unstitching. I checked the other cargo pocket and the exact same thing was happening. I joked with the adults and told them I better not move because I was afraid of what May come undone. Well, on the way home I noticed the crotch was coming undone.
I am editing this from 1 star to 3 because they sent me a replacement the next week. Quality was much better. While having them hemmed I did ask for 2 pockets to be reinforced.
Editing again since I wore the pants for the first time at a meeting. When I put them on, I realized the stitching was undone where the belt goes and the elastic band is on both sides. Then one of the pockets I did not reinforce came unstitched during the meeting. This is becoming my sewing project and I only wore each pair of pants once. Do not buy.

Upon opening the package, I noticed a lot of thread all over the pants. I assumed they were just some that clung to the pants. While that was partially true, I also found 4 seams that were already coming apart. Thereās also something highly unusual about how you can reach through the top of the front pockets to your bare leg. Very disappointing, and Iām not excited to attempt a return on them.

I am disappointed to say the least. Poorly stitched. My elastic waist band broke during the very first wearing, and not due to stress or sizing. They are lightweight, however, I wouldnāt trust these pants on an overnight campout, which I thought they were designed for. I expected more for the price.

The sizing was confusing and as a result, i unintentionally ordered a size larger than I needed.

After looking at the sizing chart I ordered my son a size for a 26 y .. he is a 24 in waist but the chart says if they on the edge go up a size. When ordering you can only pick 24 or 26. I picks 26 .
I got a pair that says LARGE 26! Never would I order a large for my 6 year old .. plus the waist on that measured 27-28 even though the tag says 26.
After going round with costumer service they replaced them but just sent me the same ones a large .
He needs a M and we talked about that fact.
Do not trust the sizing chart that the site says to use to choose the size you need!
Iām down $40. Cause he canāt wear them for another 4 years

I was pleased with my adult size uniform pants. The poly/cotton blend is ideal for outdoor activities, and the lighter weight design seems like a nice improvement over the heavier first edition of the uniform pants. The size seems to be right too. Sadly, the waistband stitching missed the internal elastic waistband in manufacturing, so the waistband came apart right after unfolding the new pants right out of the packaging. Defective upon arrival, probably the same issue reported in John Hunt’s review. My wife sews and mentioned that the type of stitch used on the waistband did not seem like that typical of professional manufacturing. It definitely clear that the clothing is not handled and inspected for quality before staging it for sale.
Wishing everyone at corporate the best in working out these manufacturing defects for our official uniforms!

They seem to be very sturdy. May son is rather thick in the thighs and the 26′ were too loose, and the 24’s were too tight in the legs.

Every pant I wear is a 36 waist, classic fit. I ordered these in a 36 waist as part of the uniform package thinking there wouldnāt be any problem. These pants are are way to tight. I canāt pull them up all the way, even though the waist is plenty big. Now Iām stuck with them because there are no returns with the packages. My son, who is a very skinny boy, his pants also have plenty of waist and are way too long but he can barely fit into them as well.

Unfortunetley after wearing it one day I have a hold in the pocket and did not even put anything into my pockets. Stiching is too light. 36 pants is not a 36 you find in the store. Its pretty much a wild guess what one would need

They look awesome the pictures! Great color, awesome pockets and locations. Decal looks great on them….
However, the material is horrible! You can basically see through them!
They’re very skinny jean like. After trying them on, I thought they were women pants.
Don’t recommend them at all. A major redesign is recommended with better material and a more relaxed boot cut style!

First pair we received, the button was pulled from the material right from the package. Contacted Corporate Clothier and they were very quick to handle it and send a replacement pair. Second pair the inseams came apart after one wear. I wonāt be buying more.

I was a bit nervous to purchase these pants because of the negative reviews, but I am glad I did. The pants are made of quality material and are a great fit for my Trailman! In addition, I love and appreciate that the pants “grow” with my child. Smart!!

Generally liked the pants, but there was no belt loop on the front right… going to return them for a replacement I hope. Also the metal zipper on the right rear wallet pocket doesn’t open easily.

so, the quality is not great, a little on the cheap side. However the most important thing to remember here is it makes the uniform. My gandson loves them and being in the complete uniform makes him feel proud to be a Trailman! And that’s the most important thing of all!

Given that these pants are unhemmed (mentioned in the description), that increases the cost for a pair of pants by $20 to $50 depending on where you take them to get hemmed. That puts the total pant cost between $60 and $95 per pair plus shipping. This is absurd. Our troop has decided against using these pants entirely.

While at the 10-year anniversary leadership conference, I tried on two sizes 34 & 36. My jeans are 34/32. The legs on the 34 could not maker it much above my knees as they were too thin to go over my thighs. The legs on the 36 squeezed over my thighs. While the fabric and look seemed good, the cut was way too skinny to be worn.

These might be fine for the boys, but I bought 2 pairs for myself through the “BOGO” sale. I am not happy with the quality. I expected a lot better for the price, and now I’m stuck with 2 pairs of pants I probably won’t ever wear. The material is very thin (thinner then any other pair of pants or jeans I own). I am also a skinny guy, but these pants are still too tight on my legs for my liking. They say “ripstop” material, but I can’t imagine these not ripping on the first stick I walk by. And I missed the “unhemmed” part of the description, so now I need to figure out how to do this to the bottom of the pant legs (I don’t have a clue lol). They would probably work fine for a young boy, but I don’t suggest any dads to buy these pants.

These pants are terrible, first off the sizes aren’t even specific or made at the right size. For example if you normally wear 34 for pants, you might want to get a 40. So I bought a bigger size for my brother, and they ripped on the first day, don’t waste your money on this.

Coming from someone who has to wear a uniform daily, these are seriously lacking in tailoring. I am not a small cookie but when I order pants I should not have to have the entire pant tailored to fit a normal person. There is entirely way too much material in these slacks. The rise and thighs areas are not proportionately sized to the waist. I have to have these slacks cut in half, the rise taken way up, as to not look like MC Hammer, and taper the legs. Uniforms should not be this difficult and manufacturers should be getting their product close to standard sizes. I donāt mind the unhemmed version but everything else should be more standard. I would not get these unless youāre married to a seamstress and they donāt have anything else to do.

Legs are way too narrow. I donāt like seeing our trailmen wearing what looks like skinny jeans. Not masculine at all. Material is too thin. I expect Trail Life to do better than this. If we want our boys in uniform we should at least provide decent uniforms. I am very disappointed with these pants.

I donāt know why these pants donāt have higher ratings, they are GREAT! Yes, they are thin, but thatās because they are performance type fabric, so you can be active without thick material weighing you down. Also, they came EXTRA LONG, so you can sew them the perfect fit for your son. It was easy and looks so good! These are not skinny pants, but if you have an extra husky boy they might be tighter. Plenty of room in the legs for my son. The sizing was perfect and we will be able to get a lot of use out of these. I appreciate it!

My chief complaint is the fit of these pants. The crotch of the pants is WAY too far down. With the belt at my hips, the crotch is halfway to my knees. Iām 5ā11ā so Iām not a stumpy legged guy. With any squatting, the seams between the legs are already popping and tearing. These pants are thin, which they state, but I would have assumed that meant they were of a material that would be more substantial at that thickness, but these are just thinned out of the typical ripstop material. I donāt see these holding up for long at all. I get that the costs need to be lower so that all boys can afford them, but I really think that weād be better served with better pants. Even name brand like Carhartt, Kuhl or something similar. Troops can do fundraisers to help with the costs of uniforms, and that effort would be worth it for better pants.

Having a thin son, we were happy we found pants that could accommodate his small waist size and also his height. Unfortunately, these pants are way too tight all over. I will be returning them because they are completely unwearable.

The pants were terrible, poor quality. Fitment was a joke, and did not match its online description. Now, I have to return them, costing me time and money. Do not buy them. See Billy A. “Disappointing” product review from 02/04/2025 as he was dead on.

I was surprised that these pants were so incredibly long and un-hemmed. The waist was right? Thatās the only positive thing I can say. Thankfully we were able to cut and hem the pants ourselves but for the price I would have expected way better quality.

Bought the pants when it was on sale for $22.50. Pants look great but didn’t know that it needed to be hemmed so that was a bummer. Finally got it hemmed and excited to test it out. Noticed that it was a little snugged around the crotch area while putting it on. But it was elastic and there was room in the leg area. As I start to move around, it was hard to move comfortably and when you sat down – man it was tight in areas where I was hoping for flex and room. Definitely uncomfortable. Will I wear this again – highly doubt it.
