Men's Stretch Zion Pant

The prAna Stretch Zion is basically the climber's uniform. Walk into any climbing gym or outdoor cliff and you'll spot these on half the crowd. At a glance they look like slightly outdoorsy chinos, but they're built around the way climbing demands a pair of pants behave, with lots of stretch and serious durability.

The secret detail is the gusset, an extra panel of fabric at the inseam that lets climbers high-step and reach without the seams splitting (the very spot ordinary pants tend to blow out). The stretchy nylon moves freely, shrugs off scrapes from rock and rough ground, and even has built-in sun protection (UPF 50+) for long days outside. A hidden thigh pocket, a no-belt-needed adjustable waist, and a snap roll-up hem round it out.

This is one of those gifts a climber may have already been meaning to buy. One tip: they come in a wide range of waist and inseam sizes, and fit matters, so if you don't know their measurements, pair it with a gift receipt. A versatile, well-loved gift for rock climbers, hikers, and travelers alike.
