Why We Like The Stretch Zion 10in Short II
Made for the heat of the desert, the Stretch Zion 10in Short II is loaded with features that keep us comfortable while adventuring up impossible trails and enjoying a beverage on the brewery's riverside patio. The recycled ReZion fabric follows prAna's progression to make their designs as earth-friendly as can be. The green design doesn't compromise, keeping all the stretch, toughness, and breathability as the previous iteration.

Prana, what were you thinking!? The original Stretch Zion line was already perfect. Why did you take a great selling and well loved line and change it, and especially cheapen it. Bring back the OG Zions, or else!

I have the exact same shorts from several years ago (Zion 28X10) and they fit perfect. These - they feel different, they are smaller, tighter, and the button is a bit strange to button. Sadly will return, as they aren't what I know and love and just not comfortable.

Like everyone else has said material now seems cheaper and the button change was a bad idea.. have 11 other prana shorts/pants and the new design and change seems cheap and disappointing..

Will never buy Prana with new button
I hope Prana reads this. I have 15 pairs of prana pants and shorts and love them all. Just got these shorts with this new plastic button and I hate them. Very disappointing that Prana took something that was so good and ruined it. Yes it is so bad that if they don't go back to the original button I will never buy Prana again.

Terrible button

Button pinches whenever I sit down. Cannot get them to fit comfortably. Material has pilled and just feels pretty cheap. Disappointing for expensive shorts, especially as the first version was so good.

These are nothing like the old Zions
These are terrible. The button is awful. The fit is wrong. I am VERY disappointed because the previous Zion shorts are my favorite and I have them in 5 colors. I am returning these and looking elsewhere for shorts.

I love the Prana Zion II features and fit, and I have some slim-fit Zion II pants that I wear all the time. However, this specific pair (Zion II w/ 12in inseam) is definitely on the long side for shorts. For me, they go well past my knees. The photos on the product page as of July 2022 are actually for the 8 inch inseam, so be careful that you actually want a 12 inch inseam before you order that version! The waist fits the same as my Zion II pants, for what its worth, and the built-in belt is such a nice feature. 35 is just slightly loose on me, so the belt is handy, while 34 fits nicely but is a little too tight when I sit.

Looser fit than previous years

I'm usually between a 32 and 33 in Prana. Bought 33 this time and they're too big in the waist and butt. I have Zion pants from a few years back in 33 that fit very good and aren't as stretchy. So...size down if you're between sizes.
