Reviews & Ratings for prAna Brion Short - Men's — 19 reviews — Page 1

I've always been a Prana fan. I love these Brion shorts. Slim fit and perfect in the waist. The length hits me right at the knee. This was my first order from CampSaver and was very happy with the product as ordered and the delivery time.

I have been wearing prank Brians for years now. After 4 years of using them climbing and hiking, one pair is finally looking worse for wear. I'm honestly surprised by the longevity of these shorts for being a "tech" material. Just buy these shorts.

These shorts are so great, I bought 3 different colors. They are light, comfortable, with a nice slim modern fit, so they don’t look like outdoor shorts. I wear them out on a trail or with a short sleeve button up for a night out. Absolutely amazing material, stays cool, no sweat.

When I was shopping for shorts, I was searching for shorts that I could 1) take hiking/camping, 2) wear normally to school, work, out and about that do not look dorky, and 3) wear to the gym, a bonus point that I didn't expect but would be nice. I've had these shorts for a few weeks so far and have worn them often and these are by far my favorite shorts I've ever owned.

1) I haven't taken them hiking but did on a day trip to a national park and they were great. I was climbing rocks and hitting the dirt with ease, they were very mobile. Something to note is some would prefer the extra cargo pocket the Stretch Zion has when they're on hikes. Personally, I like to carry as little as possible in my pockets when hiking, so I don't miss the cargo pocket much. When backpacking, I just use my pack's hip belt pockets to carry my snacks, phone, whatever. The Brion's have two back pockets, two front pockets, and a small pocket inside the front right pocket. These shorts are good enough for me to replace my backpacking shorts.
While I haven't hiked properly in these yet, my job is very active. I usually walk about 5-6 miles per day, and I prefer to wear these shorts as much as I can, as they're very comfortable to move in.

2) I was looking for shorts that would look good enough to wear out and about because I didn't want to spend money on separate shorts for hiking, and separate shorts for "everyday" wear. I tried on the Prana Stretch Zion Shorts before buying these, and while I loved...

I bought these for my boyfriend for his birthday and he loves them. The 32" waist, 9" length fit him perfectly and fell right at his knee, he is 5'11, 160 lbs. They are also made with the Zion Stretch fabric which is stretchy but durable.

When it comes to shorts, I’m extremely critical. I like a fit that provides maximum freedom of movement yet still looks stylish. I also prefer a light weight short over a heavy fabric short. The Brion Shorts check all these boxes for me. They are the perfect marriage of fit and functionality. They are great for an active lifestyle including heading to local craft brew house post activities.

These shorts are true to size and very comfortable as Prana shorts are. There are no cargo pockets on leg with Brion Short and the inseam is an inch shorter then the Zion. So, if you are 5'11" plus the inseam might be a little shorter then preferred. Otherwise great short!

These are the most comfortable shorts I’ve ever owned. After my first day wearing them I ordered another pair, and I’ll probably grab a few more. They pair well with a nice shirt to wear to work, and transition nicely to hiking or kayaking.

I wear a 33” waist, and a 33” in these fit perfectly. I’d call them a “standard” fit. If you wear your pants up by your belly button, these aren’t for you.

Comfortable even when hiking in hot and humid conditions. Lightweight but substantial. Green's my favorite color, and these are a true green. Not baggy but just loose enough. Even the zipper pull is a decent size.

I've worn the Prana Brion pants for a couple of years and love them. The shorts are more of the same. I like the classic jean styling with the comfort and durability of the Stretch Zion fabric. You won't look all gear junkie out on the town, but they transition seamlessly to the backcountry.
