Product Description
The prAna Stretch Zion pants are ideal for rainy hikes, backpacking trips, and daily commutes. Made with DWR-coated Stretch Zion fabric, they keep moisture out while remaining breathable and dry on the inside Read More
Own a pair of these and absolutely love them. Very comfortable around town or on the trail. Unfortunately for this drop, however, you can find these for the same price all over the web and get them shipped within a few days.

FreekncreeknNot everyone buying from Massdrop lives in the US.
Many items like this are blocked for overseas shipments from US retail outlets but still available on Massdrop and the postage on Massdrop is often, but not always, a fraction of that available from US retailers.
Prices on item like this are often 1/3 cheaper than retail in Australia and colours and sizes are far more extensive due to the larger online (predominately) US market.
These are great outdoor pants and wonderful to climb in. Word of warning, however: You will look like you’re wearing bell bottoms if you care about that sort of thing. If that’s you, Prana makes these in other cuts. Check out the Brion pants for the same material or Bronson (reg fit)/Tucson (slim) for heavier fabric but still stretches.
WonkwonkYikes! That’s a lot of pants:)
No, the stretch stays. I wear the Bronson’s to work and then head to the climbing gym right after. They look great but have a wonderful Stretch. It’s heavier fabric, so it’s not going to be as light or as flexible as the Zion... but they’re amazing. They actually look like real pants. The Zioneer and the Brion, on the other hand, are the exact same fabric as the Stretch Zion. The biggest difference being different cuts with the Brion having a more tapered leg so you lose that bell bottoms effect.
I own a pair of these pants and love them, but it is a total misrepresentation to call them "Wind & Waterproof". They are just ordinary stretch nylon pants. When it rains, they get wet and then they are very cold. On the plus side, they dry quickly. Don't buy them thinking they will perform like Gore-tex.
jcghSo right you are! I skipped right over that paragraph title and went straight to the description and the specs. I'll have that changed immediately. Thanks!
I bought these pants on the last massdrop. Love these pants! Great stretch and fabric. It is very good at repelling water though not entirely waterproof. Big pockets for your phone and even has an adjustable belt on the waist line so you can adjust it slightly smaller to your waist. No fading at all after a years use. Even got them all muddy on a hike and it wash off right after. The buttons inside the pants are awesome for ventilation and/or converting to shorter pants
OkikunOkikun has said everything I want to say about them. I have 8 pairs now, 6 in black, 1 in mud (nice) and 1 in grey. Awesome active trousers that look great around town too. Do note that the last 3 pairs I bought (from 2 different sources) the waist size seemed an inch or two larger than stated.
OkikunI'm another happy owner of these pants (and shorts). I now own no other pants.
I use them for work, around the home and gym (climbing and squash).
I usually find them cheaply on eBay however...
