If it fits, it sits! I love the way the fit, simple string belt and straight cut. Standing up they flow and sitting down gives it a comfortable stretch to them. I do say there is a bit of a break in period as they are a tad stiff but wear them a few times or throw them in the washer and they are marvelous!
After my first pair, I bought 3 more!

Originally, I purchased a pair to wear while on a beach vacation. What I found was that they were AMAZINGLY comfortable. They are excellent for lounging around, exercising, or yoga. I work as a flight paramedic, so for 24 hours we're standby by for the flight. These are the perfect pants to wear when I'm not wearing my flight suit! After the first pair, I decided to get 3 more. They're super casual, but nice enough to wear outside to the grocery store, movie, etc.
NOTE: Many people talk about the tight waistband. That's true. Once on, they fit great. But since they are not elastic or a button/zipper fly, they need to slip on -- which can be tight over the hips. The length is perfect and once on, they fit great.
I originally wore a medium and the waist was a bit big for me. I then bought the small and the waist was a bit snug. Overall, I'm still really happy.

I got these to hang around the house, i had a prev model of pants also prana that had an elastic waist band, i love that these are linen/cotton and that they are really comfortable in the inseam and stretchy for wallking, yoga or light exercising, however these were tight on the hip/waist and run a big small, i got the XLs which normally fit me losely just to get in snug, i still wear them but they are not my ideal fit and im not loving the string either.
Nice material but run small

The green color looks better in person than in the pictures.
I usually wear 31, so I ordered S size 32 - 33in and they are really small.
Better ask for a bigger size

I can not believe so many 5 stars on reviews and true to size for this pants here!!.
I bought it to start doing yoga without using the common short. Is not very comfortable for practicing yoga since it's material/construction is not flexible at all.
It's also very difficult to get on and off, to take in consideration if you are in a hurry or late for your class.
Better get a bigger size because it's not matching with other brand pant's sizes like 34 is more like a 32.
It's ONLY ok to stay at home or even to go out for a quick errand (I have to admit, I like a lot the eco-friendly materials philosophy).

This was my fourth and last Prana product. Earlier Sutras were really nice and comfortable. Prana has watered down the fabric. Its harder and coarser, does not have the soft feel anymore. They feel hot, even in indoor ac room I am sweating in them. Not for summer for sure.

Awesome fit, great look. Replace your old sweats with these and you'll get compliments on your style. No stretch in the waistband or fly.
Tight waist band
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I really dig these pants in general. They've been so comfortable and great to travel and move about in. However, over the last year or so, with the last three pairs of pants and one pair of shorts I've purchased, compared to a pair I bought maybe 3 years ago or more, the cut or fabric seems to have changed. I've not gained weight, and I wear an XS. The pants over the years have been exceedingly difficult to get on and off, due to a non-stretchy waist band. My 120 pound husband agrees with me. I'm disappointed! The pants fit ok after one dons them, but getting them on or off in a hurry isn't happening!

I use these for yoga and although I had not originally planned to, I admit to also climbing in them a few times. They allow great freedom of movement without being baggy. I have also taken to wearing them instead of sweats or pajama pants and feel much more human as a result.
The hemp is not particularly abrasion resistant, but that is to be expected.

i had to return it. Tight in the hips. And don't like the tie around the waist. I have two pair of Zion pants and shorts and they fit perfectly. This just didn't work for me.
Not my favorite Prana Pants
- Familiarity: I've used it several times

These pants are thin, not super comfy, and tough to put on and off. Once on they look great, but they weren't quite as comfy and liberating as my other Prana pants.
Comfy Trousers

I picked myself up a pair of these for Christmas. I didn't really know what to expect but I thought I'd give them a try.
They are a pair of lightweight pants that are great for lounging around or going to the beach. The fabric is very comfortable. They are great if you work from home and want to wear something other than you pjs to give yourself a little bit more of a dignified feel.
I'm a 33 waist and ordered the M. The pants barely go over my glutes when I put them on, but they fit comfortably.

I purchased two pairs of these pants about 4 years ago and they are showing little signs of wear. A little on the expensive side for what amounts to pajamas but they're well worth it. Comfortable and durable.

Love these pants. I have these in the Khaki - Medium 32. They are lightweight and super comfortable. Great for lounging around the house, yoga, fishing, a quick walk in the woods, or going to the store. Although I ordered the 32, I think the waist is really about 34 inches. This is actually a good thing because there's no button and the fly isn't just for show (no zipper). You have to pull these on and tighten with the drawstring. The only complaint that I have is that when the khaki color gets wet, it turns really dark until the cloth dries. Keep this in mind if you happen to sweat a lot like I do.
Boys love these

I bought these pants a couple times as a gift and both guys love them. According to my sources, these are really comfy lounge pants with just enough structure to go to the store and not feel like you're in your pjs. Lightweight hemp fabric doesn't stretch but the wide leg cut provides enough space to squat or kick your feet up on the couch. Highly recommended!
Narrow at the hip

Great comfy pant, the gusset crotch for any pant/short is a must IMHO. I'm caught between 31-32 waist, but I'm a little wider in hips. Both the Sutra shorts and pants are cut like a straight leg thru the hips, pants bellbottom at hemm. So while small says 32, they are tight thru hips and even with gusset they cup the crotch when squatting or streatching. I went with Med, a little roomier in waist, and they draw string like a pair of sweats, but not as bulky.
Bottom line: highly recoomend for that lazy/lounge about light easy pant, pair of flipps, and just realx'n where ever you are... Tropical island, mexico, or about the house or hood on a Sat/Sun/ or Holiday Monday. Cheers
Why lost My order?http://www.backcountry.com/prana-sutra-pant!
can i find it from...
I'd like to buy these for my boyfriend, but his lankiness makes sizing diffiuclt. He wears a 30x32 pant. I'm afraid the small will be too short and the medium will be to big around the waist... Any insight? Thanks in advance
The S-32 size is a 32" inseam so it shouldn't be to short. I am a 30x32 as well and that is the size I wear.
Hey there! Thanks for the question. I would stick with a Small for your boyfriend. These pants have a relaxing fit and sometimes run a little long. Smalls should work great!
I have a 32 inch waist. Would I be better off going with a medium or large?
Hello Chris,
I think you would best fit into a Medium. I have worn medium in these and they are great!
Need help finding a size... I'm 6'3" and...
Need help finding a size... I'm 6'3" and 205. Average frame, not very fit in the waist. I normally buy pants in 36 waist and 36 or 34 inseam. From the reviews, it looks like most people order a size down. Would it be better to order a L or XL? Thanks!
Hey Pat,
So my husband is 6'1'' and 210 lbs. He tried these on in the L and the XL, and he ended up going with the XL for a roomier fit-- he said they were pretty tight in the crotch and the rear. The XLs definitely look more like loungewear. I hope this information helps!

I am 5'10" and usually wear a 34x30. Am I just too short and chunky for these pants? Medium or Large better for me?
No you are not. I'm 5'11" and wear a 34x32 and I fit the large very well.

I am usually 32-34, what size should I go for?
If you prefer your sweats/yoga pants tight fitting, go with the medium. I prefer mine a little loose in the groin, so I stick to the large with my 33 waist and 32 inseam.

Is the tobacco a dark kaki or more of a brown? I already have the espresso pair and don't want them to be too similar.
The Tobacco color is much lighter than the espresso. They would look completely different. It is a great color.
The Tobacco color is more of a caramel color. It is very different from the Espresso. You'll be safe to get another pair.
Hey Leo, we still make the other waist band version. That pant is called the Vaha pant.
