Is the Prana Stretch Zion good for hiking?

Yes. The stretch fabric, ventilated gusset and UPF 50+ rating make it a solid choice for day hikes and backpacking. It is heavier than ultralight pants, which some hikers prefer for durability.

It has a relaxed, straight-leg fit with a standard rise. Owners often say it runs roomy, so slimmer builds may want to size down.

Does it keep you dry in rain?

The PFC-free DWR repels light rain and splashes, but it is not waterproof. The finish needs refreshing after repeated washing.

It is 95% recycled nylon and 5% elastane with two-way stretch. The blend wicks moisture and dries quickly.

Does it have sun protection?

Yes, it carries a UPF 50+ rating, which blocks most UV rays during long days outside.

What pockets does it have?

It has a zippered cargo pocket for secure storage plus standard hand pockets.
