prAna Stretch Zion Short - Men's

I was initially a bit hesitant due to the price, but this is by far the most comfortable pair of shorts I own. The slight stretch in the material is perfect, and they are very lightweight and breathable. I just wish they made more colors now so I could get some more.

These shorts are awesome! They're perfect for biking, hiking, running, swimming (though they don't have a liner)... The zippered pockets are convenient (glad there's no velcro) and they look good. You can basically do any of the activities above and still go for a bite and a beer without looking like a frocio. I bought the pants and a pair of shorts for my dad.

These shorts are fantastic, great for climbing, swimming, hiking, and all-around outdoor play. They stretch to your movements, dry quickly, and look pretty sharp. I would say that the 2006 model was much better than the current one. The snap closure, and velcro fly was much sleeker when it came to answering the call of nature without taking off the harness. Also, the "belt" feature in this model bunches something fierce, and looks awkward. It also shrinks a tad in the wash, but all in all I LOVE these shorts.

I keep buying the stretch zion pants and shorts. The material keeps getting better, more durable, less likely to pill or tear. The shorts are lightweight and dry quickly. I wear them all the time. I liked last year's model better, especially the snap buckle. This year's adjustable system is not as easy to use. I also thought last year's model looked better (more "technical" less "casual").

So far I've used these shorts for a week long climbing trip in North Carolina. They performed admirably! I actually didn't even think about them or notice them for the entire week, which is of course the ideal situation for any piece of clothing. They are also great looking, don't look like usual hiking/climbing shorts, and will be used regularly as a pair of casual shorts.

Good enough for hiking. i love them.

I own two pairs now, great for mountain biking. I like last years buckle better than this years button. Still a great short for any outdoor activity, or even casual.

These shorts rock. Light yet rugged. Fit well, yet they permit huge flexibility. You could do the splits in these if you were so inclined. Good for many applications - hiking, biking, climbing, or just wearing them 'cause they're cool. I Like!

My husband loves this short. He wants to wear it to the climbing gym due to its stretching ability, but they are nice enough to wear for summer dress- up, too!

These are the most comfy shorts I have. They will make the CDT hike in August with flying colors. They stretch well with movement and don't look like spandex.
