If you are looking for an all around tech pant to wear on nearly any day, hiking, camping, traveling, etc...these are the best. My only complaint is the boot cut width of the cuffs seem to make it difficult to pick footwear..I always have to wear a bulky hiking shoes or boots to prevent the cuff from slipping over the heel of my low profile sneakers or flip flops. But the buttons that turn the length into 3/4 helps with that during late night trips out of the tent or making breakfast at camp in the am. But maybe I should have just bougt a size shorter..or have them hemmed.

Perfect and comfortable hiking pants

Awesome climbing trousers, especially because I can button them up at the ankle area and they do not get snagged on the rocks or wall. They do run a bit on the smaller size around the waist though.

I am 5-11, 210 lbs. Usually wear 36-38 waist and 30-32 length. Bought shorts in 38 waist and can still wear them but do need to cinch up a bit. Went for 36-30 pants and they are spot on. I am 31 in length but can never find this. Always in between- length 30 fits like a 31. I now have 3 pairs of these and have taken place of Kuhl pants where the button feature is always a crap shoot. Pockets are nice and deep and the left side cargo pocket is not too big and not too small. Have ist pair for about 6 months now and they are holding up well. Just told my hiking buddy about these today. He is a skinny guy and can never find a 28-29 waist. Pull the trigger on these- you will not be disappointed.

I ordered one pair and they fit so well that I immediately bought two more. I used one pair during a three-night (32-mile) backpacking trip in Middle Tennessee mid-September, and they were excellent. When it warmed up during the day, they had enough elasticity in the leg that I was able to fold them over a few times and convert them to shorts (above the knee, not using the sewn-in buttons). The next morning, it was cooler, and they retained their shape when unfolded into long pants again. The number and placement of pockets, as well as the diversity of pocket closures, were perfect for me. I usually keep my phone in my left-rear pocket, and that pocket on these has super easy open access, while the right-rear has a flap closure. The left-thigh pocket has a top and a side zipper, and this also worked great for keeping small tools accessible at camp, when I was kneeling to work with the fire, etc. I also wear these regularly as day-to-day pants, and I'm thinking about ordering a couple more pair so I'll have one for each weekday. They are by far the most comfortable pants I've ever owned. I'm 5'10" and about 157 pounds and ordered mine in a 32x32. The fit is great, and the attached waist adjustment works very well for fluctuations while in the field.

With over 450 five star reviews theirs no doubt this is one of the most popular items on backcountry and to a good reason. Prana stretch Zion pants are a true mix of comfort and durability that keep even myself coming back. A pant that can last 5-10 years and is by far one of the most versatile pants we carry I recommend this pant to anyone.

I recently bought this particular pair but I've been wearing the Stretch Zions for a few years -- 5 full length and 3 shorts. I wear them to my law firm, out to dinner, hiking in the woods, camping, working in the yard, traveling/sightseeing, everywhere really. For what I do with them (I don't climb), they're holding up amazingly well, don't shrink or fray or do anything funny, and wash up beautifully. Super comfy, wear as cool as non-vented pants can be expected to, and the built-in belt/waist adjuster is greatly appreciated, and it doesn't twist up over time like most do. Fairly water-resistant (not water-PROOF), which I revive every year or so with some wash-in DWR treatment. I believe the leg length to be spot-on, and the waist sizing to run a bit on the large size, but the belt/adjuster allows a large degree of flexibility with that.

They just don't fit well at all. I'm an athletic 185 and have trouble finding pants that fit both my waist and thighs. Either the waist is massive, the thigh fits and looks like im wearing bell bottoms or i'm wearing skinny jeans (with bell bottoms). Which is disappointing because Prana are the best fitting jeans for me but apparently that fit doesn't translate to their hiking pants.

These are by far my favorite pants, camping, skateboarding, climbing to causual wear these pants can do it all. Prana really does value their product and it goes to show in the zion pant by Prana.

Being my first pair of climbing specific pants, I love them, and ask myself why I waited so long to make a purchase like this. They are lightweight, surprisingly durable, and yet are surprisingly warm on cool windy days. The leg zip pocket is really nice. The fit is very good, and it is nice not having to wear a belt with these pants. Would buy again.

The Stretch Zion is an excellent pant for just about anything. I love the zip cargo and back pockets for extra security. The fabric is high quality/ stretchy and made from sustainable materials. What really sets this pant apart for me is the ability to roll and bottom up the bottom hems. This addition makes this an excellent four seasons pant.

Favorite pants hands down.

Prana pants are without a doubt my favorite pants. I go through about 2-3 pants a month in the summer from skateboarding and just wear and tear. Prana's zion fabric however has never ripped or frayed on me. Big fan.

These showed up and in my normal fashion of not wearing pants around the house, I retrieved the box from the entry and dash back inside. I open the box, untie and unroll the pants, I slip them on and it is like slipping into any of the other pairs I own. My wife comes downstairs.. "When did you decide to put pants on? When did you get that color?" The majority of my pants are from Prana and they are a definite go to company for my needs in being a short man and them offering their pants in a short inseam.

I love the stretch zion series so much that I do not believe I own any other type of pants. Soft, great fit and tough year after year and these are no different... however there seems to be something slightly off with this pair. Everything seems to be slightly larger. Front pockets are a bit deeper, the back pocket is slightly larger (I only mention this because I find myself constantly checking for my wallet) and the legs at the bottom seem a bit more on the baggie side. It’s as though they took a previous pair and just added a bit of extra material. But with that said, they are still comfortable travel pants and great hiking pants and it was nice to see a new color come out.

I bought 3 pairs of these years ago and your totally right, the different colors fit differently. The black was the tightest fitting, the mud were baggy, and the charcoal was in between. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed...

Bought these pants for work, which involves hiking on and off trail in the mountains of Montana, and they've held up awesome. Incredibly light, comfortable, and breathable. They also dry out super fast after getting wet. Durability exceeds expectations, as I've abused the hell out of them (rocks, brush, fire). Love the sizing as well. I'll definitely buy more pairs in the future

These pants can do anything. I've climbed rocks and glaciers in them. I've waded rivers in them. I've worn them as work pants doing disaster response work. I've caught them on fire. Fire is the only thing they don't do well.

Compared to the Prana Bridger Jean pants, the Zion pants seem to be at least an inch or two shorter. I'm usually a 30/31 inseam, but the 33x30 Zion pants stop about 1-1.5 inches above my feet. Way too short for my liking, so I returned for a 33x32. Aside from inseam length, the waist fits perfect, pants are comfortable and quality material.

Comfortable but casually appropriate

These pants are insanely comfortable. the material is extremely soft yet sturdy. They are very styley, but they do have a boot flair if you are looking for a straight legged pant i'd look else where. Plenty of room and forgivingness for all activities. I would go a bit longer in the inseam as they seem about 1 inch shorter than most of my jeans of the same length.

A stated by a few reviews these pants now run slightly longer. Can this be confirmed by more people/gearheads before I place my order? For reference, I typically wear 32x32 and the 32L usually drags on the floor for me but I like the look with shoes. However, I would not want it to drag too much like a 33L.

I had a chance to try at a nearby REI that did not have it available earlier. In my opinion, the length is, in fact, longer than a standard 32L. There is about the same amount of "crimple" found in other ~34L pants. The 30L's seemed more like a ~31L which is the size I will be getting.

I'm usually a 29 waist, but these pants are only offered in a 28 or 30 waist size. Do people recommend that I get them a little small or large? I see that they have a belt of some kind, so I'm thinking large, but I want to make sure.

Hi, I bought a pair in size S/32 a year ago and they fit perfectly. Would a 31/32 be a comparable fit after the change to numerical sizing? Also, is it true that they changed the fit to be baggier in the legs as another reviewer mentioned? Hope not, they were perfect...

Prana appears to make these in a 36 length as well. Can these be ordered through backcountry as well?

anyone?

Last year I bought Prana stretch zion pants with size M 32. but I noticed Prana Pants size system changed. So I wonder which size one I shoud choose for me. 32x 32 or 33 x 32?

Hey Bumtae - Prana did change their sizing for this year. I have an old L-34 and the 34x34 fit me best in the new Stretch Zions. There is still the adjustment strap in the waist so maybe the 33x32 will be best for you. Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions. - Kyle L. - Expert Gearhead

I want to get my husband a pair of these. As long as I've known him, he's been 32x32 (medium) in every brand and everything, but Prana's size chart leads me to believe he'd need a small (waist size "30"). Can anyone verify or clarify this? He usually wears his pants a bit tight, but this might be due to his soccer player build. I guess I'm wondering if all the reviewers who say it fits "true to size" mean according to Prana's size chart, or according to their normal size...these are obviously different.

Hey Stella, If he is a 32x32 get him a Medium 32. I am a 32" waist and wear a medium in these pants. I think the Prana size chart is a off for these pants. Let me know if you have any other questions.

What does the number indicate after the letter? Is that the inseam or waist? i.e. a S-30 will get me a waist of 32 but a length of 30 and a S-32 will get me a 32/32?

The S is for the waist size and the number is the inseam length. For a 32" waist you could go with either a M or S depending on how you want them to fit. The adjustable waist belt will fine tune the fit for you.

Any ladies out there that rock these for climbing (or otherwise?) I'm in the market for some climbing pants, not partial to mens clothes, but here they are, and one sale. .. men's prana has fit me in the past, just curious about ladies experience with these pants. thanks!

I can't answer your question but I thought I would mention that there is a women's version called the Halle Pant - http://www.backcountry.com/prana-halle-pant-womens?s=a

Thanks Jeremy! I'm aware of the Halle, hadn't seen it on sale, will consider- but doesn't come in brick and blue (what's with that!?). I have been partial to flashier colors lately, they're so much fun!

Yes, I wear both the pants and shorts and love them! The shorts do look a little like you're wearing men's pants (they sometimes get some weird bunching in the front when I sit down) but I don't care because they're so comfortable and functional. I have a muscular posterior and can't stand women's pants that are so low rise. FYI, I'm 5'4" and wear a women's large in most pants, and the M-30 fits well...just a little long, so I roll them up a little.

I'm a short guy that typically wears a 28"-29" inseam. What are my options here, cuff the bottoms of a pair of 30"?

Hi Raymond, the 30" inseam is the shortest for the Stretch Zion Pant. I know a few people in your situation that have used a few different options. First you can always spend $10-$20 and get them professionally hemmed. Second option would be to buy some hem tape. There is either the iron on version or the super sticky version. Usually about $5.

I want to buy these for my husband but how can you tell which inseam is which? He is a 32X30

The S/M/L is the Waist Size and the number is the length. Depending on how he likes them to fit he could wear a small or a medium.

Hi, these look great for my boyfriend who enjoys camping and climbing. He's 5'8, 135 pounds, 30" waist. Which size should I order?? thanks!

I would say a small waist then pick the right inseam length. They come in three inseams 30, 32, 34.

The small will definitely be on the looser/baggier side; I'm 5'11, 155 and a size small feels a touch loose on me. My boyfriend who's about the same dimensions as yours wears an extra-small and they fit him really nicely. Remember, these are stretchy. Hope this helps.

Definitely the XS. I am 5'7, 137 pounds and the XS 30 is a perfect fit.

I have a couple pairs of size small Stretch Zion shorts. Can I expect similar sizing and fit in the pants?

Cody, it will be the same sizing!

Is it possible to find the claimed weight of this pants?

Trevor, the pants weigh 0.9 lbs in a medium. If you have anymore questions feel free to send me an email or call! Bill Porreca bporreca@backcountry.com 801-736-6398

I'm a 33 waist 32 length. 6'0'' 200lbs. What would you recommend for sizing?

John, a medium-32 should work. If you have anymore questions feel free to send me an email or call! Bill Porreca bporreca@backcountry.com 801-736-6398

Are any of the pockets zippered and if so, which ones? Is the belt removable?

Hey! So the cargo pocket on the left thigh has a zippered pocket. Zippered on top and on side for dual access. The belt is non-removable. Shoot me an email anytime you have questions! Jared D. Expert Gearhead 801.736.4336 jdowns@backcountry.com

Does Prana make pants like this for ladies? A comparable pant?

The Halle pant would be the comparable pant in the women's line: http://www.backcountry.com/prana-halle-pant-womens?s=a There are also a couple of zip off versions called the Monarch and the Sage convertible.

I'm 5'9' 140 lbs, what size should I get? Pretty consistently a waist 32 across other brands. Sounds like prana has been changing up the sizing. My older prana pants from ~2005 say M on the tag, and I think it was either 32 or 30 inseam....they fit very well.

No question?

Please email me if you have XS - 30...

Please email me if you have XS - 30 Charcoal.

We do not currently have that size and color in stock. We do not have an order for those from Prana. I'm not sure if we will be carrying that size.

Did they change the fit of these pants...

Did they change the fit of these pants this year? I bought a pair last year that had a slimmer fit. I just bought the same size pair last month and they were baggy.

Yes, they made them bigger! L used to be doable, but a little big for me, now they were huge. M fit fine now whereas they were tight in the hips in the past. I have always worn a M in the shorts, though.

Can you special order the xs size?

Can you special order the xs size?

We do sometimes have the XS in stock but unfortunatley none at the moment, and at present we are not able to backorder Prana products.
