prAna Stretch Zion Pant

Comment

These were supposed to be my new traveling pants. I wanted to love this pants. But the pockets: oh, the pockets. The pockets are mesh. Like a swimsuit. If that were their only issue, I might be able to move forward even though Id always be afraid my pen would slip through a hole, down my pant leg and onto the ground. Unfortunately, the pockets are also more shallow than a typical pair of pants. The pockets are shorter than both a typical pair of jeans and shorter than a typical pair of dress pants. When traveling, I want deep, unpickable pockets. When Im riding on a plane, train or hopping in and out of taxis, I want confidence that Im not going to lose my goodies. Alas, pants have short pockets. Whereas an iPhone6 will sit securely in the pockets of my jeans and regular office dress pants, it wants to poke its nose out of these pockets. Sizing seems small, too. I typically wear a 38", I ordered these in a 40" waist for extra comfort and so I can eat a lot on vacation. They were snug. Felt more like a 38" than a 40". Were I keeping them, I might even swap them for a 42". Those problems aside, workmanship seems solid, they are light weight, breathable and seem like theyd be comfortable.

I ordered 2 pairs, one mud and one charcoal. They arrived together and the mud fit great, but the charcoal where a full 2 inches too short, identical to a pair of 32" inseam zion pants I already owned. I was perplexed and exchanged them for another pair. The second pair of charcoal arrived today and are once again too small. The labels read "34 x 34" but the pants are clearly 32" inseam. I am pretty bummed, these are my favorite pants but it would appear there is a qc issue at prana allowing short pants out the door in the charcoal color. I hope it is temporary since I would like to order a pair. Update, I contacted Prana about the issue and recieved an email offering a refund if I filled out a bunch of paperwork and shipped it back, very disappointing customer service. Very glad I purchased through Amazon which makes the return simple. I also am very disappointed Prana has not contacted me based on my review here on Amazon to discuss the issue. I now see there is a new review posted that also complains about the length. It appears Prana is content to let the faulty product ship through to the customer. Great product, very sub par customer service in my opinion, especially for a premium product.

Great pants and great value, but my husband is a consistent 36" waist across many brands of pants and jeans, but the 36" were too small. Returned and ordered a size 38" and they fit him perfectly. So our recommendation is to order a size up. He loves the pants, the anti-chafing lining inside the waistband, the fabric, the pockets. Great pair of hiking pants!

Im finally writing this review after having a pair of these pants for almost 3 years, and I just finally purchased my second pair. To put it simply, these are the best hiking pants, maybe even pants in general, that I have ever bought. Not only are they extremely comfortable, but they put up with my year of hiking in Colorado and onward. When worn with a base layer, they might be your favorite year round pant. I am 510" and 170 lbs, and the 32/32 fit me perfectly. The mud color is perfect! Very tactical but still looks dressy since they are sort of form fitting in the thighs. I have above average size legs for my height, and they are snug but not like skinny jeans. Overall, my favorite pair of pants ever. Good for hiking, working out, and every other daily activity. Love them! If I HAD to say anything possibly negative about them, it would be that they sort of get looser as they age. My new ones are much more snug than my older ones, but it may also be a sizing difference due to them changing sizing methods since I bought my first pair. The pockets might also seem a bit flimsy for a pocket knife, and the right pocket will stretch out a bit between washes. Either way, the material is amazing and strong!

Best pants Ive ever owned. Period. Pros * Dries insanely fast * Flexible in all directions * Looks good enough to wear out at night * Durable for hiking * Legs roll up and snap * Leg pocket has side entry zipper And most importantly * Crotch area has a couple of tiny holes, meaning both fart dissipation and general air circulation is amazing. Also means these can be worn multiple times with no funk issues. Cons: * Price. That is the only thing that is not best in class.
