Quick verdict

A loose-cut outdoor pant listed in five colors and four waist sizes, in a stated 61% cotton / 29% nylon / 10% spandex blend with a locking YKK fly zip. Buyer reports on the Arc'teryx Cronin describe a roomy leg, but they cover that model, not this listing. Measure against the published chart before ordering.

Pros

  • · Listing publishes a full per-size chart — waist, hip, thigh and length — rather than waist alone.
  • · Stated fabric is 61% cotton / 29% nylon / 10% spandex, described as a stretch cotton-nylon for casual outdoor use.
  • · Catalog details name a locking YKK fly zip, blackened snap closure, belt loops cut for 3.2–4.0 cm belts, and mesh pocket lining.
  • · Arc'teryx Cronin buyers with large thighs report the relaxed leg works well for them; this listing likewise describes a loose cut.

Cons

  • · Arc'teryx Cronin Cotton buyers report the newer fabric feels lighter and stretchier than the earlier version, a trade-off rather than a clear gain — that comparison is about the Arc'teryx model, not this listing.
  • · Cronin Cotton reports also describe a waist that now fits slightly larger, with some buyers needing a belt where the earlier version did not.
  • · The listing quotes a numeric 30–36 waist range and a separate S–3XL range, so confirm which scale the seller is using before ordering.

Fit notes

The chart gives flat figures: size 30 at 80 cm waist, 102 cm hip, 58 cm thigh, 97 cm length, up to size 36 at 95/114/64/103 cm. Cronin buyers describe a loose leg and suggest sizing down roughly half a size; treat that as context on the Cronin pattern, not a verified guide here.

Buy if

You want a relaxed, utility-styled pant for casual wear and light outdoor use, and you will check the seller's waist, hip and thigh numbers against your own first. The stated stretch blend and belt-loop construction suit belted wear.

Skip if

You want a slim taper, an elastic or drawcord waist, or fit taken on faith from the listing. Cronin reports describe a loose leg and a non-stretch waistband, and nothing independent covers this item's pattern.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

How does this cut compare to other Arc'teryx pants?⌄

Arc'teryx Cronin buyers report it runs somewhat larger than other Arc'teryx pants and is loose through the legs, and some suggest sizing down about half a size. That describes the Cronin, not this listing.

Will the waist give or stretch?⌄

Reports on the Cronin Cotton say the waistband has no elastic and the waist fits slightly larger than the original version, so match the listed measurement or plan to wear a belt. The listing's own belt loops fit 3.2–4.0 cm belts.

What is the fabric?⌄

The listing states 61% cotton, 29% nylon and 10% spandex, described as a stretch cotton-nylon. No independent testing of this fabric is available.

Which size should I order?⌄

Work from the listing's chart — 30 through 36, with waist 80–95 cm and length 97–103 cm — and confirm with the seller which scale applies, since the listing also quotes an S–3XL range.

What colors are offered?⌄

Five: black, retro green, cloud blue, space gray and clay brown.

sizing · tip · 55% confidence

The Cronin cotton pants waistband has no elastic, so buyers should match the stated waist measurement closely or plan to wear a belt, since the waist will not stretch to fit.
