I'm 6'1"/157 lbs and ordered the size 32x34. I have another pair of prAna's of the same size designed to be slim fit and they are my "go to's". Since REI doesn't stock sizes with inseams longer than waist I was forced to order them based on past experience. The Brion II fit a little snug in the thigh, which I didn't anticipate for a "straight leg" pant. And they were very loose in the waist/ crotch/butt and much too long. They felt a little like bell-bottoms or a different brand all-together. Tight in one spot and sloppy-loose in all others isn't a good combo; I had to return them. The construction and color were good.
height 5-7 weight 160 people describe me as: "small build" or "slim" and sometime "skinny" So I just got them, and the material seems great, and I really like the initial look of them the cut almost painted on, I got 32x32 and the area that covers the bottom dome of the goods are snugly rounded by this fabric with not a micron of breathing room. In addition to the precious stones department, my thighs are on display, from the mid-pocket to a couple inches above the knee they are painted on... I do not work out or do squats or anything and I have never ever been told I have big or thick or sturdy legs ever... The waist is good, I am a 32 in most manufactured goods and sometimes I'm a 33, the fact that the waist feels good makes me realize that these are tight skinny pants for the hipster type fit... so if you like regular fit or a straight fit, these are not for you
I have 4 pair of PrAna Brion pants that fit great. However, the Brion II are not the same. The fit and the material just doesn’t work. Had to return them. Sad that PrAna changed the design. Wish they would go back to the previous design.
I have at least six of these same pants that I have bought since 2019. I have been extremely happy with them until 2024 when something has majorly changed. They pill very quickly and after owning this new pair for six months the 4-5 year old ones look newer
Loved Brion Pants, II too thin took back
Great pants and they are amazing! I own multiple pairs of the original Brion pants and these are even more softer. I had to buy another color since they were so nice. Will check on Prana’s site to see what other colors they come in!
I have bought two pair of the brion II pants and they are becoming my go to do everything pants. I love that they have 28in inseam. I am 5’7 and about 185lbs and wear a 34x28 and they fit great and feel great.
I got a pair after trying several options. They fit great and look good enough to get by at work. I am 6'3" and got 30x36. Can't wait to get another pair!
One pair may have been mid marked as they fit like a size larger. Unfortunately I am in Mexico and cannot return them.
Finally, pants that fit great, are comfortable, durable, and also fit around shoes/boots. Will be buying more!
