I have multiple Prana shorts and have always found them to be the highest of quality. However, I did find that after the first time wearing the Stretch Zion Short II that there were small pulls in the fabric on the thighs. I'm not destructive with my shorts so this came as quite a surprise. The fabric is soft and flexible, making them extremely comfortable to wear. The fit is excellent and the button design, although not metal, is solid and strikes me that it would last much longer than any sewed-in button.

These shorts surpassed my expectations I had when ordering. They fit great, stretch when called upon to, are good for hiking/biking and dry super quick on the river. True to size as well with internal sinch.

I took these shorts traveling to the jungle near San Ignacio, Belize, expecting to switch into lighter fishing/sun shorts the next day. On day 5 I still had not changed out, and realized bringing a second pair of shorts was overpacking.

I bought several pairs of these shorts, in both the 10 inch and 12 inch version, because I once had a couple of pairs of the older generation back when their material was heavy cotton and I really appreciated their fit and durability. The fit of this new generation of shorts is just as good, I have to say! And these shorts were well on their way to becoming my favorite ever. But what really disappointed me is the material which, after about 2 months of use, has exhibited a lot of pilling in the crotch area. Pictures included.

Simply awesome shorts! Been a stretch Zion pant fan for several yrs and decided to give these a shot. Zero regrets! Quality, durability, fit, and comfort… all dialed

I absolutely love these shorts. I found myself in an intense, physical fitness activity that I would have normally worn gym shorts for, but these shorts met the task with durability, comfort, and range of motion. I will absolutely be buying another pair! The color is a bit darker than I prefer.

I’ve always loved what Prana has to offer. Great style accompanied by reliable quality. I’ve owned long zion pants and bought 2 of these and I wear them all the time.

These shorts are the best I’ve ever had. The softness and stretchiness really were a good feel. I loved the number of pockets on the shorts. I am definitely buying another pair.

Great. Got the 8in. Like the 10in too. Better motion range with 8in.

The shorts provide the same fit as the pants of the same style. Love them both - the pants and shorts. I prefer the 8" length short. That length seems to be more "in style" at the moment. The pockets work perfectly for me. I particularly like (what I call) the car key FOB zipper pocket situated within the right pocket. The front, left main pocket is typical and holds a decent sized phone. There is an additional lower left pocket with 2 zipper openings - top and side. The left, rear pocket has a flap which helps to keep items in place. The right, rear pocket is basic. The material is light-weight and drys quickly. My favorite feature is the built-in, "airport scanner friendly", cinch belt.

I'm really satisfied with these shorts. I like how they fit, well built and top quality.
