prAna Stretch Zion Pant - Men's - 2010 BCS

For me, these pants will work for just about anything I do in the outdoors! Probably wouldn't ask 'em to post hole in thigh deep snow or fend off rain for any period of time, but as far as a super versatile trekking/climbing/biking/paddling pant, they are hard to beat. Fabric is nice against the skin and waistband lies flat on the waist. They are nice enough to wear to work or other casual occasions as well. I've noticed the fabric does pick up a bit of pet hair. I'm 6ft 180lb with a 33inch waist and wear the medium.

Love these pants.
im a 34 and wear a large they fit great!
i have a pair from 2005ish and they seem like they are built better than the 2010. Still great pants. old ones have velcro zipper which i like better and the new has common zipper.
2010 seem a bit longer and lighter weight than my older ones.
Still love the pants. i wear them canoeing, and camping (spring summer early fall) they are light and dry quickly

I begrudgingly purchased a pair of these after making a long trip to a rock gym to meet a friend, only to realize I hadn't brought anything to climb in. The $70 price tag seemed outrageous at the time, however in the year I've had them, they've more than paid off. They're durable, super comfortable, and functional; everything from day hikes to multi-pitch adventures, these things hold up. Nice big zip pockets for your goo or other supplies, and a belt system to keep them up when a fully loaded harness threatens to derobe you. The darker colors also hide dirt real well, and don't look too bad when you're rocking around town. Best of all, they still appear brand new after a year of serious use; these things are built to last. Highly recommended.

Just got my Pranas here !!!! And i couldn't be happier , Prana is my new favorite brand . I'm 6'3, 240 athletic pounds and i have extremely long legs,so this is perfect all around pants for me . But if they to long for you there is a small surprise that can make them shorter ! Great job prAna !!!

These pants are very abrasion resistant, and the ventilate well, while keeping in heat. I can go hiking when it starts about 40 degrees out and it gets to 75-80, and be comfortable the entire time.
These fit much slimmer than most hiking pants, and that is my main use for them. You can hike slot canyons and not worry about ripping/ tearing them.
The best part is the "stretch" material -- they are extremely free, I can put my legs anywhere and never feel like I'm wearing pants.
A plus.

I ordered the impossibly rare Axiom Jeans, but then was quickly notified that there were in fact out of stock in my size. Not really feeling like waiting a month for more stock to arrive I decided to just go ahead and give the Zion's a try.

Well, let me tell you I couldn't be happier with my decision. These pants fit PERFECTLY in Medium for me (I'm 6'0" 174ish lbs, 31-32" waist, 32-ish inseam), I just had to cinch up the belt slightly and it's perfect. The inseam is perfect for casual wear and with the provided snaps its super easy to securely roll up the pants for some serious heel hooking. At first I was worried that the pants would be inflexible and restrictive, but I swear they are shaped perfectly for climbing/yoga/whatever...I can honestly say that I have never owned a more comfortable pair of pants, including sweatpants - the fit, cut and material is just that good.

As far as climbing is concerned, I almost always climb in jeans...its just my style and while they were super flexible, there were still certain moves that made me a little nervous that I'd hear a loud rip and then give the whole gym a show. With the Stretch Zion pants I can do any move with total confidence and without any feelings of restriction whatsoever.

As far as the durability is concerned, all i can say is that upon inspecting them they appear to be very durable. I am a little iffy on how the material would handle technical mantels, or the occasional knee-bar. But when it comes time to test the durability, I'm sure I will be surprised and incredibly impressed with these pants yet again.

Oh, and I got the Cypress pants...they ARE green, but it's a dark olive color with sort of a light grey overtone. I was afraid they'd be more like forest green, but that's not at all the case.

Bottom line get these pants...actually get two pairs because you'll probably never want to take them off.

These are my favorite pants for hiking and rock climbing. They are light, and very stretchy. They can stand up to a surprising amount of abuse, and still look great. I am usually a 34x30, and the mediums fit me great in the waist. They are a little long, but when rolled up they work fine.

In truth, I'm a bit bummed. I'm 5'11", 150 and it's pretty hard to find pants that fit well, but I've worn these pants for a number of years and have been happy throughout. However, it seems that they've changed the cut. I order two pairs, one from Backcountry and one from Zappos because I thought the first was mismarked, and found the waist to be 2" larger than the 2007s I already own.

I know I keep reading that Americans are getting bigger but ... I'm not. These pants no longer fit a skinny guy like me.

I absolutely love these pants. They have a nice little stretch to them but still look like normal pants. I pretty much were these things everywhere from casual use, cross country skiing with some thermals underneath, snowshoe to just regular hiking. The fit is great a little on the loose side if you in between sizes you can probably size down.

I really like these pants and the material is great and fast drying. Only thing I would change is the position of the snaps on the pant legs. They are too far down to roll the pants into shorts. its only goes just above your boots.

I'm just 5 ft 7, 150 lbs, but my waist measures about 31,so the chart seemed to say to order a Medium. I ordered a Small and they fit really well, just like a two-year old pair, also Small, that I already had. These pants are quite tough, wash up well, and dry fast, -which some stretch pants don't do. The fabric has changed a bit over the years but I like this new version just as well as the older one. My older pair have gotten some "pilling" of the fabric near the main pockets, but they are quite high mileage by now.

They're durable.. my first pair lasted a couple of years of wearing them several days a week. They're relatively cool on hot days. The fastening system works well without a belt (nice if you're in a harness). Never once have the pants got in the way for any climbing move I've tried to do. I love 'em.

These pants have great stretch for those long climbing moves. True to size.

These pants are amazing. they are a tad (an inch) too long, I am 6ft tall with a 34 inch waist, but perfect to fit with sandals if you tuck them under your heel, plus you can roll them up and snap them as man-pris. Stretchy, lightweight, they were great to climb in. Perfect for anything you want a lighter pant for, but know that they will no get torn up easily.

I hike, camp and climb in these pants! Loose and comfortable (im 6' 170lbs), they are lightweight at the campsite, and look good enough to go out to eat in. Climbing, they are durable enough to slide against rough sandstone for hours on end. Hiking, I have had my fair share of wild blackberry grab hold, but no holes tears yet. Perfect all around pants.

So, my test of whether I really like a piece of outdoor clothing is if I'm willing to pull it out from under a weeks worth of dirty clothes, just to use it again. I'd have to say I'd do that with these pants, or shower in them maybe the night before. I'm 6' 215# with some junk in the trunk, usually have to by jeans 2-4 inches big to fit my butt and thighs. Not talking slim fit here either. In these I'm fully mobile. Nice amount of stretch without feeling flimsy. I live in Vegas so I'm bushwackin' and rock scramblin' in the desert on my days off. These pants resist rock scraping and desert brush/trees very well without feeling heavy. The material is kind of a light, stretchy nylon canvas. Not that thin stuff most hiking pants are made of. Cargo pockets are zip top and low profile. I'm not putting mags of ammo in these pockets so they work great. Also nice and long. Keeps the hitch hikers out of my shoes. Why not 5 stars? It's the belt. Weak sauce! Come on, at least give me some belt loops if I don't like the built in belt. The built in belt is maybe 3/4 inch wide and made of thin nylon. It is routed inside the waistband. Problem is it tends to wad up inside the waistband under a pack so it feels like my pants are tied on with a piece of rope or string. This doesn't cause discomfort, but it just doesn't have the solid feeling I like in a belt. Nice pants, may buy another so I don't have to pull them out of the dirty clothes.

Just gotta say I practically live in these pants. Very comfortable yet durable. the snaps for rolling up the bottoms is really nice when you want to get 'em out of the way for climbing. Never feel restricted in these babies. Trying to pick up another pair but the small size always seems to be out. I'm 5'8'' 145 lbs and the small fits perfect.

Pretty close to it. Indoor climbing, hiking, backpacking, casual....these pants really do it all great. The stretch/spandex, coupled with the gusseted crotch gives you plenty of range of motion. They hold up well to abrasion and wear, and are not too heavy. Note: these have 5 pockets and not 6 like in the current description (only 1 back pocket) and the inside of the hand & back pocket are a durable mesh. I'm a 34-35W/33L and the large fit great. I have nothing bad at all to say about these. Ironically, the shorts fit me like crap...wtf.

I've used them in everything from snow to the low 70s. The wind passes through them, making them great in the warmth, but sometimes a touch chilly below the upper 20s. I don't recommend wearing them in the cold if you are neither moving nor wearing a layer underneath. The breathability is clutch though when hiking around on warmer days.
They make great work pants. I've worn them for anything from indoor renovation work to trail maintenance. I've picked up a few grass, mud, and grease stains that wash right out of the polyester.
They are very sturdily built, but that makes the weave a little rough at first. Don't expect them to be soft on the first wear. They'll soften up after a little beating.
