Women's Softened Legend Wash Tie Front Pants
The verdict
Fit
A tie-front waist suggests an adjustable, relaxed fit rather than a tailored one; expect a casual, forgiving silhouette.
Quality
The softened wash treatment implies a pre-worn-in, denim-adjacent feel, typical of the brand's casual bottoms rather than a technical or heavyweight fabric.
Price check
On clearance this is fair value for a casual wash pant; at full price it would be mid-tier for what's essentially a soft casual pant.
Best for
Someone wanting a relaxed, casual pant for everyday wear rather than performance features.
Care
Wash cold and separately at first to protect the wash treatment's color.

What owners report about Eddie Bauer pants
Long-term testers report Eddie Bauer's Guide Pro-style pants hold up well: one reviewer logged over 50 days of wear across two pairs with no pilling, snags, or tears despite bushwhacking and garage work, and called the 94% nylon/6% spandex fabric accurate in fit with a well-placed rise across 26 size options. The DWR water-resistant finish wears off quickly and needs reapplying. Forum users warn the line isn't consistent across models: the cheaper Rainier pant runs a looser fit with roughly a 2-inch difference in waist sizing versus the Guide Pro at the same labeled size, plus lower quality.
- Strengths
- Owners who put heavy trail and work use on the pants report the nylon/spandex fabric resists pilling, snags, and tears even after 50+ days of wear.
- Watch out for
- The water-resistant DWR coating wears off quickly and needs reapplying, and quality isn't consistent across the line — the cheaper Rainier style runs looser and lower quality than the Guide Pro at the same size.
- Sizing
- Sizing runs accurate with a well-placed rise across a wide 26-option range, but expect roughly a 2-inch difference in waist fit between the Rainier and Guide Pro pants at the same labeled size.
