prAna  Stretch Zion Slim Pants - Men's

I own 3 pair of these and over the last few years they are rarely not on. I am a fit 2 meter 210 who is out for a vigorous 1 hour hike everyday. I have worn them in the heat of Palm Spring climbing 8k up, in the cold here in Chicago with snow pants over pushing through drifts, walked Paris and the lake country in England and Sky in Scotland up a Monroe where a stream is your trail through the thistle soaking them well. The stretch fabric is the perfect fabric to move with you rather than create friction. It breaths well and there are vents in the crotch for the heat. I have the same material in the cargo shorts Prana sells as well. The durability is amazing. I am at least 5 years in on these and even the buckle belt cinch is functioning well. The cargo pocket zips and reduces your pick pocket concerns in tourist areas as well as securing gloves or maps. The valve snap up feature secures the roll up mid calve and if you are hiking in heat gives you some air when out of the brush. The form fit reduces ticks when you soak the pant leg tip in DEET. I wear a 35 length which isn’t available in every pant and a 34 length which is jus over the boot top. The material drys quickly overnight if you are sink washing on a trip or if you have gotten wet. The price is completely justified in that you can literally do everything in these and they hold up better than any pant I have ever owned. My jeans never come out of the drawer, and when they do I am aware of diference in flexibility and weight. I like the blacks but alternate with the beige. If you are an active person you need a pair of these. I think once you find your fit (the 36 was to big for me) you too will be reaching for these most days.

Bought 3 more of these after trying one out during a road trip from Seattle to Denver and everything in between. Great for driving long distances, exploring the wild, flying long hours, etc. The stretchy material is perfect imo, not too lose, not too tight. The biggest plus for me was the fit, i'm a size 34 ish (33+ if you may) with a 30 inseam and these guys fit perfectly. A little lose on the waist but with the adjustable strap they stay in place. The leg pocket is genius with its two zippers, so I can remove items while seating -think, tight airplane seats- without much fiddling around. The straight fit is a more European-ish cut but I think it looks great while still comfortable and opens up the number of scenarios where you can wear these pants at without looking too technical.

The pants are great... that being said, who thought it was a good idea to sew the front right belt loop halfway closed? You can barely fit a standard men's 1.5" belt through that loop. All other loops are normal. Yes, I know there is a built in belt, but some of us need to wear a normal belt that is wider than the chintzy built in .75" belt. Thankfully I was able to rip the stitching from the single belt loop to open it back up to the same size as the rest.

I bought these for my boyfriend who has had other pairs of similar Prana pants and really liked them. After only wearing these twice the button fell off and since its doesn't have any buttonholes I can't sew it back on. Not sure if its possible to reattach the button somehow, which makes these practically brand new pants unwearable.

I loved the original zion straights from 2019 or so. Was very happy when I saw that they were bringing the originals back since the reviews of the Zion II materials were so lack luster. Purchased a couple of the 2023 zion straight "originals" when I saw that Prana brought them back. I noticed the front button was a little hard to get through the button hole but did not think too much of it. Maybe it would loosed over time. After only owning the pants a month, and probably only wearing and washing it once or twice during that time, the front button has already broken on one of the pants. Am hoping this is a one off failure and will keep an eye on the other pair that I purchased.

Great pants. Durable, took the best Bolivian rock, salt, catus, gravel, wind and sand. Just a good shake to get the majority of dust out inbetween wears. Stayed odor free for the most part. They washed up great in the sink and dried quickly. I'm 6'2", ~185lbs, the fit was great at 34x34. I have another pair of slims and prefer the straight leg. It gives more room to maneuver without looking or feeling too baggy.

These are the perfect pant for climbing, hiking, and casual wear. I can't get enough pairs. I absolutely recommend this product! I love the color selection but I learned prAna used to have a Stretch Zion color called Vortex Blue!! I would love a pair of Stretch Zion Straight in that color, I think it's a great color. Please bring that back!

I love these pants, they fit perfectly. I read a lot of reviews saying people like the original Zion over the Zion II. I actually prefer the Zion II slim. The material is softer and more stretchy. The rear pockets are shaped slightly different and has a zippered key pocket. I hope they bring the Zion II slim back.

I bought these a little over a month ago and the seat stitching is all snagged and pulling out of the material from normal use. I wouldn't recommend wearing these for any outdoor activities if you you want to keep them for any length of time. Maybe they're meant to be pajamas and not outdoor clothing?

Not worth it anymore. Have several pair of these and the newer they are, the shorter they last. Durability has gone down hill. Only look good for about a year now because of piling around pockets and rear end. Will be looking for a new favorite brand.
