Just bought a second pair. LOVE that they are available in “short” for petite women. They are my favorite travel pants, though I wish they had a back pocket too. I also wear them for hikes, everyday wear, and even to my business casual office. Lightweight.

I really like these pants! I have a couple pairs of Koen capris, so I knew I was going to like these pants. They are very lightweight and quick to dry, easy to pull on and off. I find myself reaching for them often when temps are in the 60s-70s. These have also become part of my rotation of pants when I am doing work on a boat out on the Great Lakes. So glad I purchased them! I would really love if there could be a similar design but with back pockets. Although, I don't have any issues with the current side pockets.

They’re great. So comfortable, help keep you warm in wind (wore on a couple boats off Vancouver Island), feel like you’re wearing nothing. They aren’t super flattering if you have a pretty flat bottom (like me), but I don’t care. Great pants. I get hot really easily, and I didn’t get hot in these either.

Standard scrub pants never worked for me—at 6'1" with a 37-inch inseam and a slim frame, traditional options are always way too short or boxy. Finding technical pants that actually come in rare, hard-to-find sizes like XS Tall is nearly unheard of, but the prAna Koen pants nailed the perfect fit. I wore these while working as a nurse in a medical trailer for the unhoused population a. In a fast-paced, high-demand field environment, gear has to be durable, comfortable, and easy to clean. The lightweight, stretchy fabric kept up with long shifts and constant movement without pulling or riding up. They offer a sleek, flattering fit, handle real-world wear effortlessly, and perform far better than any traditional medical scrubs!

Bought these for a recent trip to Alaska they were perfect!

Perfect fit…bought 2-pair, black and grey. iPhone fits in the pocket.

Super comfortable, stretchy hiking pants that fit well. Unfortunately the front zipper pocket stuck on the first wear with my phone inside. Couldn't unstick it - no material caught. The zipper was/is so stuck that I had to cut the seams to even get my phone out of the pocket.

I've had several styles of Prana pants over the years but these are hands down my favorite. Unbelievably comfortable, the fit isn't baggy, isn't too tight, it's just right! I could (and have) worn them all day long whether I was hiking or just going about my everyday business. I highly recommend.

Just so-so. I liked the waist-band, but the fabric feels thinner than the Koen Mid Rise Daily Pant, so it was easier to see underwear lines (even with the black fabric). Legs were good, but I wish the fit in the hips wasn't as tight. I was looking for something for travel and hiking, and this wasn't it. For info - I'm 5'4", 175lbs, curvy, and I'm usually a size 16, so XL is typically my go-to size.

I bought the new version of these pants 2 months ago. The seams are smother for a cleaner look, which I like. I have 4 pairs of the older version in different colors. I bought them over 5 years. The original black ones I wore every day during the pandemic. They are still going strong! LOVE THE POCKETS! Thank you Prana for designing such a great pair of pants. They are my Go To pants.

I bought these for work, but have taken them on vacation and they are great for traveling. Lightweight, durable fabric and very well made. In 90+ weather, they were cool and comfortable, feels like you have nothing on. :) The pockets are very low profile and lay flat. I got the medium in tall as I am 5'8" and they are perfect in length. Very nice fitting overall. I am an athletic build, 154 lbs.. I will definitely buy another pair!

Love these pants. Light, comfortable and fit perfect. Have two colors so far.
Sarah
These pants grow two sizes by the end of the day. They look terrible.

I want to love these pants so badly. They fit me perfectly, love that they come in a short length, not leggings but not too baggy through the leg, the waistband is super soft and comfortable. But the pockets are placed about 2 inches below the waist band and the pocket placement is just so incredibly awkward and uncomfortable, and then because they are also zippered the weight/rigidness from the zipper sitting in such an awkward spot is so uncomfortable to me. Also then if you put anything in the pocket it sits so low right on my thigh which is also incredibly bothersome when being active/hiking.

I really don't want to wear any other pant—they're comfortable, versatile, and flattering. While I like them for everyday, I have extra appreciation for them when traveling. In addition to the look and feel, the zipper pockets are very handy. I have four pairs now and I always have my eye out for new colors. The one design change I'd like to see are the label being stitched in the seam rather than printed on the back of the pant.
