Prana Stretch Zion 8-Inch II Shorts in Grey Blue, $52 (was $75) at REI
Like all of Prana's hiking apparel, the Stretch Zion shorts are built for both function and fashion. They're made with UPF 50+ rated recycled nylon with a little elastane for stretch, but they're also breathable, moisture-wicking, and super durable. This pair features the built-in belt, much like Prana's iconic Stretch Zion hiking pants, and it also has just as much pocket space with its dual hand and back pockets, zippered key pocket, and double-zip cargo pocket.
This is the second version of the shorts that Prana has released, and though some wish the original was still around, many have taken to the upgrades. "These are rock solid workhorse shorts," as one shopper put it. "They have all the right pockets—double zippered cargo, deep front pockets, new secret zipper stash pocket on the front, covered back right pocket…Fabric is rugged and comfortable, and while shinier than the original stretch Zion fabric, it's not really noticeable when wearing them."

Others are just happy to have a pair of rarely-found 8-inch shorts. "These shorts exceeded my expectations," a shopper exclaimed. "They are comfy, stretchy, lightweight, and the 8-inch inseam is a seemingly perfect length (not too long, not too short). The color is also appealing; I just love these shorts, and they're a lovely addition to having the Stretch Zion pants."
If summer hikes are on the horizon and you're looking to stay cool, there's no need to sweat it now that Prana's Stretch Zion shorts are on sale. If these are the ones for you, make sure to grab a pair quickly because the savings go away on July 4.
