These shorts in a medium fit comfortably without being tight or baggy, and don ’ t ride up! Amazing! I ’ ve been wearing them casually, on weekends, and even just walked a very sweaty 5K road race while wearing them! No ride- up, no chafing. I should probably buy another pair now while I ’ m thinking about it.

[ These shorts are great. I prefer them over the ROC Lite short because they are less prone to wrinkling and have a drawstring so I do n't need a belt. The ripstop like, grid material wo n't work for everyone in social situations but its fine for me and the material is excellent for high output activities. I just wish these came in a 28 '' waist. The 30 '' waist is huge on me so I have to cinch the drawstring down which makes the material at the waist bunch up( I 'm a 5'5 '', 130 lbs guy). The only other improvement I could think of would be to add a similar comfort waistband to the one found on the ROC series.

Quality shorts, with amazing features. Love the fit. I also love the extra ventilation that the mesh pockets afford. The loop on the waistband that you can hang hats or keys or other equipment on is a nice added touch. I do wish the elastic in the back of shorts would give more. It doesn ’ t seem to stretch that much and the fit is a little too stiff for my level of movement. More colors to pick from would be nice as well. Really impressed by these shorts

I 've worn Prana Stretch Zion shorts for several years and have yet to find better all- around shorts. They 're very comfortable, light, and durable, and most importantly for me, come in a 12 '' length. I 'm 6'4 '', so my only suggestion for improvement would be to add a 14 '' option. The pockets are good- sized; the zippered thigh pocket is great for keeping keys in during water activities. The Charcoal color looks great with nearly any shirt.

JDG - Palm Springs, CA
I bought two pair( khaki and gray) in 2013 and wore them almost daily for three years... hiking, rock climbing, road trips, and every- day activities. When they FINALLY started showing wear( seriously, they wear like iron!), I ordered four more( gray, black, khaki and olive). When I recently ripped one pair — my fault, not the shorts — there was no question, I just immediately bought a replacement. And when I saw that camo was now an option, I ordered that, too. So yeah... I now own six pairs of these amazing shorts. They ’ re that good. I ’ ve gotten rid of all other shorts in my wardrobe... because from going out in the evening to biking to mowing the lawn, the Zion shorts move with me perfectly... and the side pocket has held my iPhone( 5, 8, and 11) perfectly. I love these shorts. You will too.

These shorts are super comfortable, stretchy, the green color is beautiful, and the fabric is somehow really magically cooling. I would highly recommend the matching sets. The only con I would note is that I find they don ’ t really have a compression effect so if you ’ re looking for something that will hold you in these are more stretchy. I personally like this about them and think it makes them more comfortable.

I travel quit a bit and wanted a pair of shorts that I could work out in, trail run, swim in, etc. Also wanted something that would dry quickly. These are great for that. I generally wear a shorter inseam specifically or trail running, but this inseam was a more modest and `` everyday comfortable '' approach. Got the shorts with the AirShell Hoody and together they 're a great combo. Would recommend as a all purpose trail short.

I 've owned many pairs of the original Stretch Zion shorts and now have moved to the new version. The new Stretch Zion II is has a few changes, but in my opinion, they are still a great pair of shorts. The minor changes like the plastic button and the new fabric still work fine and did n't bother me. Going to the plastic button from the metal one only took a few times of wearing them to get easier to button. The new fabric is still super soft and comfortable but has a sort of shine to it when the light hits them just right. Not a big deal for me. The things that make these my favorite shorts are the comfortable fabric, the adjustable waist band, the color options, and the different pockets. They are also very versatile, I can wear them for activities like hiking and also to a nice restaurant. I own multiple pairs because I wear them all summer.

Light as air. Pocket is handy and has a secure zipper. Wore these to an amusement park and will never be taking them off. Handy in wet situations because of their ability to dry so quickly.

After wearing these shorts for a short period of time, they quickly became my husbands number 1 pair of shorts. When asked what he likes most about them he pointed out that they are incredibly stretchy and flexible but have a nice sturdy feel to them. He prefers a trimmer fit to his shorts with longer inseams and these were perfect! They also have cargo short style storage while still looking much cleaner and sleeker. He does wish there was a second pocket on the rear.

Wear these shorts all summer long and never be disappointed. Stretch material is so comfortable you barely notice these are even on. I roll these up and bring them in pack every trip, they 're great for when I get to camp and start to chill, they work as swim shorts and dry quick, they work if it's really a hot day and the trail is n't too rugged. Only thing is the pockets can be uncomfortable if they 're loaded up too much. I rarely use them.

This is my second pair of these shorts because they have become my favorite hiking shorts. They fit snugly in the waist, but loose in the seat and legs. The pockets are the right number and in the right places. They do n't show wear at all.

I have two pairs of these and have put them through the ringer. I love the stretch material and rugged reinforced areas. The pockets are strategically placed and my thin wallet fits nicely in the front pocket as i also wear these as everyday shorts. Very breathable and dry very fast. The guys and girls from Fjallraven know what their doing. You definitely get what you pay for. Thumbs up on the best shorts i 've ever owned.

I love my Abisko shorts! They have great set of pockets, feature G- 1000 which is super durable and water resistant and have some excellent stretch panels. These shorts are comfortable and very durable.

I have purchased four pairs over as many years, one was nearly identical called Abisko Lite Trekking Shorts but I see no difference, the current `` Lite '' model does look different. Anyhow these are simply great from nearly every perspective. Light, but reinforced where you 'd want them to be. Stretchy and slim, not baggy and sloppy and yet you never feel constrained by them especially if you have big thighs. I 'm very glad there's no back pockets but instead a reinforced seat, my area if NE has much sharp granite you end up sitting on these do well. There's two well thought out low- profile cargo pockets that look sharp and are actually useful. Glad there's a mesh pouch for a phone in one. And low profile zippers for the properly deep hand pockets to keep items from falling out. What would I add? two small plastic snaps on the bottom cuffs so you could roll them up once and get a little more above the knee thigh cooling. I 've noticed I do this when I am really working and even without any kind of snap the stretchy material generally keeps the `` cuff '' and lets me have a shorter short. Also side vent zips please!. Then these would be absolutely perfect. Anyhow, pair five is being picked up soon.

Just bought these shorts and they are perfect. I have tried many other brands and Columbia fits exactly right. Not too big in the butt, the right length for average sized men, and with the comfort waist they are so comfortable. The material is light enough for very hot weather and they shed water as well. Will keep buying Columbia shorts.

These shorts are great. They fit well and fabric feels great. The multiple pockets allow for easy separation of multiple items like keys, phone and wallet making everything easy to find. I have laundered them and they launder well. I would buy again and in fact, I did get a second pair.

Sionainn Obsidian
These are quite seriously the best pair of shorts that I have ever owned. They come in sizes not often available in the US, have room in the hips to move around in, and have extremely durable but stretchy fabric; particularly in the middle so movement is never limited. The only ways they could get even better would be to have a zipper leg attachments and the black fabric colors to initially come as one blending color.- Additional Bonus: The pocket set up is amazing!

I 've had these for over a month now and> 10 workouts. They fit great, size M for an athletic- but- not- huge guy, 6'2 '' 200# with a waistline that varies 31- 33 ''. Quick drying, great for runs and everything else I 've done in them. They 'll be right at home for daily wear when the weather warms up. If durability maintains, these are a 10/10 for me. Quality feels just a bit better than comparable Patagonia shorts.

When selecting hiking shorts, consider features such as moisture-wicking fabric, breathability, and quick-drying capabilities. Look for shorts with built-in UV protection to shield against sun exposure and those with pockets for convenience. Additionally, adjustable waistbands and stretch materials can enhance comfort and mobility during your hikes.
Hiking shorts are typically made from lightweight, durable materials such as nylon or polyester blends. These fabrics often provide excellent moisture management and are designed to withstand rugged outdoor conditions. Some shorts may also incorporate spandex for added stretch, allowing for greater freedom of movement on the trails.
Yes, there are various styles of hiking shorts suited for different weather conditions. For warmer climates, lightweight and breathable shorts are ideal, while longer styles may offer more coverage and protection in cooler weather. Additionally, some shorts come with features like zip-off legs, allowing for versatility in changing conditions.
Choosing the right length of hiking shorts depends on personal preference and the type of hiking you'll be doing. Shorter styles provide maximum ventilation and freedom of movement, while longer shorts may offer additional protection from the elements and brush. Consider the terrain and your comfort level when deciding on the length.
Fit is crucial in hiking shorts as it affects comfort and mobility on the trail. A proper fit allows for ease of movement without being too tight or restrictive. Look for shorts that offer a comfortable waistband and enough room in the thighs, ensuring they won't chafe or hinder your performance during hikes.
Absolutely! Hiking shorts are versatile and can be worn for various outdoor activities such as camping, biking, or casual outings. Their lightweight and durable design makes them suitable for multiple uses, providing comfort and functionality beyond just hiking.
