Product Description
The perfect crossover between everyday and technical pants, the prAna Brion men’s pants have the same great fit as their Stretch Zion, but with a slimmer and more casual look. The abrasion-resistant Stretch Zion fabric is great for strenuous hikes or climbs and features a moisture-wicking finish that remains breathable and dry all day long Read More
POManAmazon prices differ based on size and color selections. E.g., for my size only 2 colors are available and there is a $24 price difference between the two colors. So definitely worth checking out, but expect some oddities in the pricing.

Ummm ... don't think so, unless "integrated" also means "invisible".
Hi Everyone, thanks for your interest in this drop. We were able to secure more units in key sizes. Hope this allows a few more of you to grab this awesome pant from prAna!
matt98030unless this is a massdrop exclusive or prana changed up their design for 2019, there is no belt of any sort. the zion (and a few other models) has an integrated belt, which is a 3/4" webbing sewn into the waist with front tension lock. i'm guessing this is a mistake in the description.
matt98030I agree with awesomeblauge - probably a typo. FWIW, I have a couple pairs of the prAna stretch Zions with integrated belts and they're a nifty feature, but I don't rely on the integrated belts (straps, really) because they slip over time and I have to keep re-cinching them as I move around in them. Good thing those pants also come with belt loops, eh? Regardless, I love the fabrics prAna uses - they are tough enough for the trail, but wrinkle-resistant enough for the dress-casual office. They are the most versatile trousers I own and I would happily swap out 90% of the pants in my wardrobe for them if I could afford to do so.
Be warned, however. That versatility comes at a cost. They are noticeably heavier than other trail pants I own and they do not breathe as freely as I would like. The Brions (what's in this Drop) have the same fabric as the Zions. On hot days, I leave the prAnas at home and wear thinner pants.
It's worth mentioning that these pants are not "slim fit" despite Prana calling them that. They may be slim compared to other pants they make, but it you wear skinny jeans or have a modern-cut suit, these will seem baggy by comparison. Just FYI. I have two pairs that I primarily wear while leisure traveling, and I like then for that application. I've worn them to my casual office on occasion, but they aren't dress pants by any stretch.
SAK335I agree with the generous leg-fit comment - in a high wind these will flap around your legs a lot more than other trail pants would, unless you have especially thick legs. That being said, the stretchiness of the fit is great. And I would go a little further with the comment on these pants as being appropriate for casual office wear. So long as you haven't stained or ripped them, these pants should not attract attention in a casual business environment, assuming you're wearing dress shoes, a leather belt, and a button-down dress shirt along with them. My prAnas spend much more time at work then they do at play and I love them for this versatility. These are premium pants that reward you all week and through your weekend adventures, too.
If only I could find trail shirts that could pass at work, I'd be in heaven.....
I refuse to buy any pants (even "dress" slacks) that do not have a phone pocket on the side. the Kuhl Slaxs, or EMS Fencemender would be two examples, but there are many others.
