Comments about prAna Stretch Zion Shorts - Men's:
These are my favorite shorts of all time. Perfect length, perfect fit. I've destroyed a lot of shorts through rough use, but these bad boys fit like batman's glove and are tougher than a tank. I'll buy them as long as Prana sells them.

Comments about prAna Stretch Zion Shorts - Men's:
I own four pairs of these shorts and have had a difficult time finding another that measures up. I like the length (not too short or long), and wear them for everything all summer, even a casual bike ride with my son - the stretch is great for such activities. The oldest pair that I own is probably 4-5 years old and they have held up perfectly. I usually do not run them through the dryer - maybe just me, but I sense this wears nylon-type materials out. At any rate, these shorts are tough and you'll get your money's worth. For fly fishing and other water activities, they are nicey because they dry so quickly. GREAT SHORTS.

Comments about prAna Stretch Zion Shorts - Men's:
I found a pair of X-Large Zion shorts at my local REI. I had read the reviews and was impressed. When I tried them on, I knew why they received such good reviews.
These shorts are made with a stretch fabric that really does stretch. When you move, the shorts do not cling, bunch, or otherwise annoy you.
I had been looking for a pair of shorts that I could use as an outer layer when I bike. I wear cycling underwear with padding and wanted shorts that were comfortable to wear over the underwear. These were perfect.
The length does not bother me because I am 6'3" and the shorts move so they do not get hung up when I bend my knee. Swinging my leg over my bike seat is no problem. In fact, these are probably more comfortable than my baggy bike shorts.
The only issue I have with these is the sizing. I bought the XL pair. Normally, XL denotes a 38 - 40 inch waist. The prAna website says the XL are for 36 inch waist. It would be nice if REI had that same information. My -1 star is for the lack of information.
Fortunately, the XL fit me okay. I ended up ordering two more pair of XXL from another site because these shorts really are some of the most comfortable I have ever worn.

Comments about prAna Stretch Zion Shorts - Men's:
Owned 2 of these shorts from previous years and just picked up another since they are my favorite shorts. They still have a very comfortable fit and tough yet light and stretchy fabric. But they changed the pockets & belt this year and neither are improvements. They removed the cargo pocket from one leg and repositioned the others so that they are less harness/bike compatible. Also they swapped out the harness style belt with a pull tab one, which slips and is bulkier if you are weather a belt or harness with the shorts. Still good shorts but I hope they go back to the old design next year.

Comments about prAna Stretch Zion Shorts - Men's:
These are definitely my new favorite shorts !! I am a size 32 waist and ordered a size M. They fit perfect for me. Possibly a slightly slimmer cut than average but they provide more freedom of movement than any cargo short I have ever seen, owned, or tried on. I am used to a bit more of a baggy short to get the movement I want but these provide all of that and more. The material feels nice on your skin, is very durable, and dries fast. The first day I got them I went hiking , biking , trimmed some trees at my house, and did some gardening and they worked great. You could probably swim in them too. My only dislike is the one cargo pocket. Some people will definitely find the belt annoying too, but it doesn't bother me.

Love these shorts. They material is high quality. Great for hiking and everyday wear. The only thing I dislike is the placement of the zip pocket. I would like it higher on the leg.

Comments about prAna Stretch Zion Shorts - Men's:
These are by far my favorite shorts for just about any occasion, as evidenced by the fact that I've purchased them in multiple colors. They are my regular shorts for climbing and hiking because they have a good amount of stretch to them and are lightweight. They also dry easily if you should find yourself wanting to take a dip, but don't have swim shorts on hand.
Construction is top notch. They do run a bit small in the waste, in my opinion. I have a thirty inch waist, and had to get these in a small, which seems a bit off. The mediums were far too large. That said, the small in these shorts fits me to a tee. Still give 5 stars because it's best to try clothes on before buying anyway. But REI's return policy keeps it from being much of a gamble to order online.
These shorts also look great. They are tapered at the bottom so they don't "bell" out like so many other shorts do.
I can't recommend these highly enough! You will not be disappointed.

Comments about prAna Stretch Zion Shorts - Men's:
I absolutely love this pair of shorts! The material is incredibly breathable and dries insanely fast. I can not find anything wrong with these pants except for one tiiiny thing:
I had a pair of sunglasses in the cargo pocket, and the top zipper was zipped, but the side zipper was not. Although this was my fault, I don't see the reason of having 2 zippers to the same exact pocket. But you live and you learn. I won't make that mistake again. I lost my favorite pair of sunglasses because of it.
But I still lo the shorts!!!

Comments about prAna Stretch Zion Shorts - Men's:
These are hands-down my favorite shorts. After buying my first pair, it wasn't long until I had another... and then another (in other colors of course).
They fit true-to-size in the waist and sit below the knee. I originally bought them solely for climbing, but now I wear them all the time. They're not too long (like some climbing shorts) and not too short. Perfection.
