prAna  Stretch Zion Standard Pants - Men's

Excellent fit off the rack for someone with larger thighs and wanting a more athletic fit. Really well tapered while still feeling like hiking pants. Very soft and hold up well with great features. Tried on several pants from other brands at REI and went with these easily.

These are not the original Zion, but the newer Zion. The fabric is not the same, and they lack the snaps to roll up the legs. People do not like the newer fabric as much.

I'm a 36 waist in Dockers, and the Zion Standard pants in 36 wouldn't even close.

Best hiking pants I've owned. I wore these on a 14-mile hike the other day, on a humid 93-degree day. Are there lighter-weight and more breathable pants out there? Probably. Was that an issue? Not even a little bit. The fit with the stretch fabric, was really comfortable and felt roomy, and somehow, despite forgetting my Body Glide, there was no chafing at all. Anywhere. I also had to scramble up a couple rocky areas at some points, and the pants had plenty of stretch for those climbs, with ample room in the crotch. Pockets were good and roomy, but well-contained--I didn't feel the stuff in my pockets constantly bouncing against me. There's nothing to hold the legs up if you roll them, but they rolled easily enough and just...stayed there. I'll be picking up another pair of these in a different color next time I'm at REI.

I bought these for climbing. All my friends suggest Prana and I thought I would give them a try. In the fitting room, I tried them on and noticed they run a little large at my standard size, 32/30. Also the pocket arrangement isn't exactly to my liking. I admire the quality of the product despite these challenges. I bought them and used them on full day of geocaching. They were fine other than me losing a pen. After that for the rest of the day I left the rest of my gear in the car. I haven't worn the pair to the climbing gym and haven't worn them again. It's only been two weeks since I bought them along with an REI membership. The membership gave me a $30 card so I went back and bought Kuhl pants that fit much better. I plan on returning these Prana pants. I really wanted to like them but they run large.

These pants are next-level. Lightweight, stretchy, breathable, and crazy versatile. I’ve used them hiking, traveling, and even out in the city, they look sharp and perform like a beast. They dry fast, don’t wrinkle, and somehow stay clean even on dusty trails. I’m 5’10” and 175 lbs, and the fit is spot on. My jeans are officially retired.

These pants were put to the ultimate test during 30 days off-trail in the San Juan Mountains. We were constantly scaling rocks, stepping over logs, and pushing through dense brush, and their flexibility was more than up to the challenge. They held up remarkably well, sustaining only a single small tear from a broken trekking pole. If you prioritize durability and flexibility in your outdoor gear, these pants are an excellent choice

Great pants, I like a loose straight leg and the built-in quick adjust belt and the real winner. Is that double access pocket on the left thigh ,light material durable good summer pants.

These are not what the original pants were. I’m very disappointed in these. I will not buy any prana products online again.

As many others have noted, these pants are not the same as their predecessors. These are made with a different material and the sizing is smaller than they used to be. Taking those things into consideration, the style and options are not much different. They have the same pockets and airflows they used to have. People have commented that the air holes may let in ticks, but a day or so before I go out I spray my clothes down with Permethrin so they’ll repel/ kill and ticks and bugs it’ll come in contact with. I’ve been doing this for years with my old pair of PrAna’s and they’ve held up greatly and I’ve never had a tick bite, despite walking through some high weeded areas. Overall these pants are still good, but if you don’t like the feel of the material and can’t get past the sizing you may want to go check out another pant. That’s the only reason I lowered the rating.
