prAna makes a dang good active pant. These feel like their Zion Stretch pants, but in "Manicker" form. Now I just need to work up the courage to wear them around town. No complaints, just awesome durable and comfortable manpris. Own them.
Tough and Stretchy

These fit me in a Medium very well at 6' 170lb. They fit about 2.5" below the knee. Will report later as to how these wear over time.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was looking for pants or shorts for a DWS trip to Mallorca this summer when I stumbled on these. I have several pairs of prAna pants and love the fit and feel of them. These lived up to the brands quality and fit. Plus they stood up to hard climbing over 4 days on sweet ocean cliffs. I would be completely dry within about 20 min of getting out of the water and in the humid climate off the coast of Spain, these kept me dry while hitchiking and wandering the island. I would recommend these to anyone not afraid of going full Euro style...lol. They definitely fall between the knees and ankles but I dig the fit. Plus they looked good as new after I washed the saltwater out of them when I returned, no discoloration at all.
Way too long

I bought these for my husband since he's 6'4" and every pair of shorts is too short on him. But these are too long, like man capris. Manpris.
Too long

These Knickers would be perfect if they came in at about 2 inches longer then the knee, in my case they were about 2 inches above my ankle, I am 5'10". I love the fit and feel of prAna but the length of these were a deal breaker for me and I sent them back. I gave them three stars cause I really like the feel and how they fit and some people may like where these ride. I will be getting another pair of Zion's and just rolling the cuff just below the knee.
Gnarly Nickers.

In my mind, the charictaristics of exceptional climbing pants are: freedom of motion, abrasion resistance (duability), and lighweightness. And as far as I can tell, these capris were intended by Prana to excell as a climbing oriented peice of clothing. I've owned these pants for many months, and though out their life time, they've seen several bouldering setions at the gym, a two week trip in Squamish, and many casual days of wear. I rank these pants very high among my climbing clothes, an use them very often. Its because they live up to my three golden expectations. They are very strechy in fabric and articulated in construction. A built in, sinch style belt makes shure they sit high on your waist, and a gusseted croch promotes freedom of movement, as well as flexibility during high steps and any other rediculous positions you might find yourself in on the wall. A durable nylon and spandex blend (97/3) helps protect your legs in the middle of knee bars, as well as any other types of contact with the unforgiving surface of which your ascending. And un-suprisingly these nickers also come in at a low weight becasue of their lack of length on your lower leg. Once you throw in the water resistant surface, and the five mesh pockets, these pants are a truly remarkable addition to your climbing wardrobe. I highly recomend them to any outdoor-er looking for an excellent pair of pants. I love my Nemisis Nickers, and I KNOW you will too.
Two Minor Problems
Mike
Member since
Love these capris. Face it that's what they are. They breathe well, they repel water better than some not as good as others but the fabric is light enoughto dry quick anyway so that's not a problem and they are light and don't hinder movement. I have only used them about town and on a few summits so I have not tested the durability yet.
My only gripes:
First, and this is for ANY pant, I don't mind the integral belts but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, start giving me belt loops so I have a choice. I am not a fan of how the integral only cinches from one side and also at some point that plastic buckle may fail. Then what? Like I said I have this gripe from these knickers all the way up to some of my pricey Arc'Teryx Gear.
Secondly, Give me a couple more colors LOL. I have charcoal and Khaki, so my only other option is green. Bummer.
Durable

These are durable and comfortable, great for climbing. They're a bit long for shorts, but I guess that's what you'd expect for knickers.

I bought these for my boyfriend to climb in and he wears them all the time. They have good stretch, are light weight and are constructed of breathable fabric.
Awesome

I bought the charcoal color, liked them so much, went ahead and got the green ones too. Comfy, stylish, breathable. No complaints.
Schweppy Shorts

Awesome capris, they're not loose fitting, so they look a little weird with certain baggy shirts etc. I love them though, I'd definitely recommend them.

BTW. I'm 6'3" size 30 waist and I ordered a small... plenty long.
Protects your knees!!

I bought these pants based on the previous write ups about protecting their knees! They are incredible...very light weight and dry fast. I bought the mediums with the idea that they ran a little big and they do, but it was a perfect fit for me (33-34 in waist). I recommend these pants!!
Great For Bouldering

Some of the most comfortable pants i have ever owned. they are durable, stretchy, and breathable. Perfect for climbing and bouldering.
Great for climbing, imperfect fit

Cargo green size medium seems a little big. I usually wear a 31 waist. I wish I had order small, but maybe they would have been too small~ Great climbing pants though! Fit should be slimmed down for better customer satisfaction.

Quality materials and solid construction, these were built to last. Be advised these shorts are pretty long. I got them for casual wear as well as outdoor ruckuses, so I had them hemmed just a bit to a length more my style. If your main use will be climbing, you'll love them as is; the length is very practical for protecting your legs from scrapes. Very glad I bought these.
