Stretch Zion Pants

I was wearing these Prana Stretch Zion pants when an electric scooter I was configuring for my son malfunctioned. Barely a scuff on the left knee where I hit the ground. My face absorbed the other half of the impact. Highly recommend. My watch is trash. My Oakley's are trash. I have a four digit ER bill, but I don't have to replace my Prana pants. While I was at the ER for 11 hours I ordered another pair of stretch Zion regular fit pants and shorts directly from Prana. I have tried the slim stretch Zion II and they were horrible; size up if you order slim in model II. Everyone seems to be complaining about model II. I have new model Prana clothes and others that date back 4 or 5 years because they're well made. I have not tried the stretch Zion II in regular; however there was a sale so I am expecting a pair, and curious how this first model everyone loves compares to the Stretch Zion II with mixed opinions. The pants are wrinkle resistant, water rolls off like a duck, and they dry quickly. I love the stretchiness, and they're not too baggy (I do not like baggy), and I really appreciated their comfort while spending my Saturday into early Sunday laying in an Emergency Room bed waiting on a CT scan, X-rays, etc. I'm an urban explorer, bargain shopper, thrift shops, and then I'll go out for a hike. The pants can be worn for casual occasions. I love the pockets because I don't like carrying a wallet; I can easily accept my credit card or driver's license from the zippered pocket. I read a review on Prana stretch Zion pants where someone criticized the cargo pocket where you can access the contents from either a zipper on the side or on the top, but both zippers lead to the cargo pocket. While semi-immoblized in a ER bed I found access to my cargo pocket two different zippers convenient. Depending on whether you are standing, laying, or sitting, that dial access cargo pocket is convenient, but ensure you zip the side access otherwise your contents could fall out. Great value, and expect to wear them for several years.

Love these, once I found the right size. I'm on my 2nd pair. Elegant yet flexible. They are all I wear to the office. They don't shrink in the wash. It's better to hang them to dry (or low tumble dry) -- but the material dries quickly. I also like the cargo pocket to secure passport/cash when traveling. One nit (mostly for prAna) : WHY does the cargo pocket have a redundant zipper on the side ? It adds nothing, and makes the pocket less secure. I'm really mostly curious -- so I'd love a response with the rationale.

Awesome pants. Got these on sale. I wouldn’t mind paying full price for these cause they’re so comfy and durable. I wear these on a normal day to day basis and I wear these when I’m out in the wilderness. A very versatile pant and a great value for the money. You get what you pay for.

Love the pants. The only draw backis that the band for tightening is too long, so is intrustive and overly visible, AND I often still need a belt, and the band hangind down is not all that great. But I wear them all the time and would buy them again.

Perfect hiking pants! Super comfortable and flexible and durable. Also very stylish to go from trail to dinner. Each member of my family has at least 1 pair.

I have only worn Prana Zion's of various colors for going on 6 years now and don't see that stopping. I wear them for work, in a cave, on a date, and have slept in them more times than I remember. Have never rock climbed in them! Built in belt, cargo pocket for keeping items safe, roll up ankles for heat or dipping feet in the river, vent holes in crotch, mesh pockets, nice athletic fit. When purchasing, be mindful to check the fabric and do not order the 'recycled nylon' or "ReZion" it is garbage. Double check the material in the listing before ordering. Enjoy the best pants ever.

True to size. Comfortable. Dry quickly.

They are back to the original fabric, no more shine or pilling!!! Way Outlast jeans, comfortable, move with every movement you make, no binding, light easy to pack easy to clean, dry quickly if you Splash your pants when washing your hands rub a towel on the wet spot about 20 seconds their dry. Trust me you'll love them!

Comfortable. Warm when the temperature is cool. Breathable when temperature is hot. Dries quickly if wet. A bonus: they look good.

First the good aspects. Good fit. Deep front pockets. I like the material. They appear to be well made. Now the negatives. The extra side pocket is really stupidly designed. First, it is much too low on the left leg (and why not the right leg?) and it is also very shallow, it does not even hold my phone! The back pockets are also very shallow - really too shallow to be of much practical use. The right side has a sort of flap, I guess needed to keep stuff in the very shallow pocket from falling out. I do not recommend these pants as travel pants or as hiking pants.

Love these pants, have about a dozen pairs in different colours, wear them daily (have done for years) super comfortable. But you can usually get them cheaper elsewhere sales at outdoor stores.

good fitting

My husband loves his being a 6’4” slim man.
