Perfect short!
gifted by prAna such a good fit!! These shorts are stretchy enough and structured all at once. Love the detail of the zippered pockets. The length is long enough to be comfortable but not too long so they are stylish! Highly recommend for any outdoor adventure.

Not very durable
I really love the way these shorts fit and look but I’m not sure how durable they are for actual outdoor wear. I just got them today and within two hours of wearing them a loose thread in the back got stuck on my bracelet and now there is a giant seam line running down the back of the shorts like when stockings get a run. I’m bummed because I got these for a hiking trip in a few days and I don’t have time to return them so I guess I will just wear them till a hole forms

Thanks so much for sharing your experience—we’re glad you love the fit and look of the shorts! We're sorry to hear about the snag. While the Stretch Zion fabric is built for durability, threads can occasionally catch on jewelry or gear. We’ll definitely pass this along to the right teams for product fine-tuning. Your feedback helps us improve, and we truly appreciate it. Thanks again from your friends at prAna!

Love my shorts!
The pants are a perfect fit, although tight at the waist. They are cute and crisp looking and fun to wear!

fits perfect
the cut and fit of these shorts are super flattering. I don't have a slim body, I always feel the need to hide my tummy. These shorts are very flattering and comfortable. This is my second pair.

Extremely high waisted
Nice fabric and I really appreciate the adjustable waist. However these shorts are extremely high waisted. I’m 5”9 and the waist lands higher than my belly button and makes me look like the headmistress from Matilda. It’s great quality tho and the 5” inseam is also perfect. I bought it at 50% off so it’s fine but I would never pay full price for this item!

Perfect short for curves
Finally a perfect short for my curvy frame! Smaller in the waist, then A-line over the hips. 5 inch inseam great for coverage and still flexible while active
