Stretch Zion Short

I love these shorts. I am not up to 5 pairs of them. I keep trying to find other shorts that handle my active lifestyle. It is hard to find any as nice as these

The fit on them are really good. They have kind of a stretchy fabric, that is great when I am out hiking or climbing rocks. They have a great look and work well on the golf course, a casual ride on the bike, or a bbq. Every time I am at a party, people ask me about them and where I got them.

Just saying, these shorts are awesome.

I have owned Prana stretch Zion shorts since 2014 and with my latest purchase now own 6 pair. The latest Coffee Bean colored shorts with the 10" are my new favorites. All of them dry quickly, are light weight, yet very rugged, long lasting and fit great. They also have plenty of pockets for wallet , cell phone and car keys. Great product!

I really like the fit of these shorts. The leg opening is not too wide compared to other shorts I've tried and the material seems very durable for the light weight feel. The thigh pocket is nice having two zippers 90 degrees from each other. Works well to hold a smartphone without being a bulky cargo pocket. Highly recommend these shorts.

Durable, attractive, comfy - what more do you need in a short. Another of my total go to items from Prana. The best.

Best short! I have 2 pairs and will be getting more. Fits true to size. Great for causal wear and fpr outdoor adventures.

This is my third par of stretch Zion’s and I love them. Very versatile, light weight and they dry quickly...perfect!

Comfortable and stretchy for hiking and climbing, and they look good enough when you're done to head straight to a restaurant or bar. Lots of pockets, and made of substantial, tough, abrasion-resistant material.

I first experienced the Zion Pants on an extended trip to Southeast Asia. The short story is that I concluded, late in the trip that I could conceivably get by on *one* pair of pants! These garments are extremely comfortable traveling and are cut so attractively that a guy will love to wear them...just to look great in your travel pics! They also can easily be worn next day after hand washing. I've since ordered many pair since I suspect my size will no longer be stocked. Last order was 5 pair!
Thank you Prana!

Very comfortable. If your familiar with the Zion pant you'll love the shorts.

Just the right fit and a flattering cut without any excess fabric or bunching. The dual-access leg pocket is a nice feature.

Absolutely the best shorts I have ever owned. I have 4 pair and wear them almost every day in summer. The are comfortable and have plenty of pockets.

These are literally the best shorts I have ever owned. Comfort, functionality, appearance, construction, everything. Highly recommended.

Best shorts ever. I own like two pairs in three different colors.

These really are comfortable, versatile shorts! The only knock is the cost!

Easily the best shorts I’ve ever owned. Comfortable and ready for climbing, adventuring or whatever the day may bring. Wouldn’t trade them for anything!

Very light weight and comfortable to wear

Bought 3 pairs after getting 3 pairs of the zion pants and I love them! So light wait and extremely comfortable.

These are my favorite shorts for hiking and exploring. I like the long leg, dual entry side pocket, and vented inseam.

Awesome!! Best shorts ever!!!

Great fabric. Great fit.

Great fit. Very comortable for climbing and hiking

I have 5 pair of these. I wear them casually, but they are also great for downhill mountain biking and working out in the gym.

The stretch Zion shorts are my go to summer short for just about all my outdoor activities. Climbing, hiking, mountain biking (with a liner) and let’s not forget the pub after these activities!

Extremely comfortable shorts, breathe when I'm outside bouldering and don't restrict motion or flexibility at all. Would recommend these shorts to anyone.

I won't belabor this, If you are looking for comfortable, hard wearing, comfortable, good looking, comfortable, well detailed, comfortable shorts, with lots of well considered pockets - look no further. Besides all this - they're very comfortable!

just as great as the pants

A few years ago, I bought a pair of Stretch Zion shorts for a trek in the Sierras. Not only do I still have those same shorts, but they look virtually new. They wear like iron, dry ridiculously fast, and are the most comfortable shorts I've ever worn. I just bought three more pair, just so I'd have some color options. Once you wear these, you'll never need another pair of shorts.

I have two pairs of Stretch Zion pants...over 4 years old, and they look and wear like new! I am so glad to have these shorts as a warm weather option.

You can wear these hiking or around town.
There perfect for putting cash or cards securely in side pocket without constantly checking to see if everything is still there.

This is the perfect everything short.

Walking is my main form of exercise and these shorts are perfect for that. They are both comfortable and practical. They are also nice enough to wear on casual work days, or while running errands, or on any number of other activities. I liked the first pair enough that I immediately ordered a second.

This is my fifth pair, not because they wear out but they do get paint etc on them. While expensive up front, they last for years and always look great. Buy one and you’ll come back.

Stylish, fitted but not too fitted (not baggy), comfortable. I hike in these shorts and I go to restaurants in these shorts. I am 6 ft tall and really do not like the 10 inch I seem and therefore happy that they also offer a 12 inseam. I have owned one pair for 4 years and I keep trying to find other shorts that I like as much and never have been successful. I have bought and returned 3 other shorts from other makers this year. The other brands do not compare for comfort and style. That is why I am ordering 3 more pairs on line. This is like Lulu Lemon; pricy but definitely worth it. If you only get one, buy the charcoal color. FYI. This is the first review I have ever posted.

Best shorts ever! Just got my 6th pair. Love the new colors. Keep it coming prana.

I have three pair of these and love th fabric, fit, and functionality of the shorts. I teach indoor cycling and have even worn them over a padded liner to teach class.

The adjustment band is what makes this short. Perfect fit if you add a little weight or lose a little weight.

This is the best pair of shorts I have ever owned, extremely comfortable and enough pockets and a built in belt. The dry fast and with the 3M coating they with stand all sorts of stains and shed water on those early morning walks or in a light rain. I now have four pair.

my favorites hands down!

I love these shorts because they fit so well! Make sure you take the time to measure yourself, buying an in-between size helps so much!

They've got the style I look for in shorts. Highly recommend them.

Just purchased my second pair, this time in a 12 inch inseam instead of the 10 inch. I went for the blue this time around and love the color. So much so that I'm going to order the Bronson next. The only downside is that they are slightly larger than my first pair in the waist. Both are 32's but these fit a touch looser in the waist. Seems to be my experience that it's best to try each pair on and not just trust to the labeled size when buying prana pants. Their varience seems wider than other brands. Not a deal breaker at all for me given the comfort and quality.

These are the shorts you've been searching for! The material is super durable but has enough stretch for a great fit and freedom of movement during more demanding adventures. Great for hiking, climbing, going around town, or anything in between. Great features including a zippered cargo pocket, waist strap for adjustability without requiring a belt, and a secure back pocket for keeping your wallet secure yet accessible. I purchased the 10" inseam and am very satisfied with the length. I did try on the 12" inseam as well and both options are great depending on your preference. The 10" hits right at the top of my knee, the 12" right below. Great shorts!

fit is perfect, light, comfortable, look and feel like these will last - glad I ordered 2

These shorts are very comfortable and are not stiff like many other cargo shorts. They are made for the active lifestyle, and are worth the money spent.

The shorts, are incredibly comfortable, stylish. I am a huge fan Prana now, and I will forever be one... keep making the type of shorts that bring this type of comfort and excitement!!!

Great, comfy, adjustable shorts. I wear one of the 8 pairs I have almost daily. The fabric and stitching have really held up well and I've been wearing the same Stretch Zion Shorts for 2-3 years now.

My favorite pair of shorts.

the material is superb. i love that there are two options for inseam length.

The stretch zions are my go to shorts for just about everything. Great for rock climbing and hiking, as the cargo pocket is accessible with a harness on and the shorts don't restrict any movement. The zions also look good enough to wear around town.

These are for my nephew who travels and works building homes in mission areas of Mexico. These pants hold up in all conditions and fit well. Thanks for carrying two different lengths for the shorts as he is not a tall guy and the shorter ones fit him proportionally.

Great shorts for outdoor activities
