Prana Men's Stretch Zion Short

Prana Stretch Zion Short

The short that built Prana's reputation in outdoor retail, and for good reason. Stretch Zion fabric delivers a combination of durability, stretch, and weather resistance that most hiking shorts can't match, in a cut that works as well on a scramble as it does in town.

Highlights

• Stretch Zion fabric - 95% recycled nylon with 2-way stretch that resists abrasion from brush, rock, and trail debris without breaking down over a season of hard use. More durable than soft shell, more comfortable than canvas.
• UPF 50+ sun protection - Recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective UV protectant for covered areas. Useful on exposed trail days where leg coverage matters.
• Moisture-wicking construction - Pulls sweat away on high-output days and dries quickly so you stay comfortable whether you're moving hard or taking a break at the summit.
• Adjustable webbing waistband with tension lock - Lets you dial in fit precisely without a belt. Stays put under a hip belt and holds its adjustment through a full day of movement.
• Left thigh double-entry zipper cargo pocket - Large enough for a phone and accessible from two angles. Zipper closure keeps contents secure on technical terrain.
• Concealed zipper coin pocket with elastic key loop - A dedicated spot for keys so you're not fishing through a cargo pocket every time you need them.
• Ventilated inseam gusset - Adds mobility on high steps and scrambles while improving airflow where it matters most on warm days.
• Bluesign approved recycled nylon - Meets a high bar for environmental and manufacturing responsibility. A fabric you can feel good about putting through hard use repeatedly.

Best For

Hikers, scramblers, and active travelers who want one short that handles technical trail days and casual town use without compromise - and holds up long enough to justify the price.
