Prana Zion Pants. Size question. New vs Old

[Jakerex]

So, I went to the store today and tried on a bunch of pants. I really liked the Zion pants but find myself looking for a waist size of 35, and they only had 34 or 36. 34 fit prefect, without any layering underneath. Didn’t seem like there would me much room at all for me to layer. 36 seemed a bit baggy.

Now I’m looking at some of the older Zion pants on eBay and similar and see that they were sized small, medium, large, x-large, etc.

My question is, what size does the size “large” or “x-large” cover in the older pants? Would either of these sizes do me better than a current model 34 or 36?

I’m 6’0” , 200 with short legs. Usually wear a 30” inseam

Thanks.

They went from S,M,L etc to waist sizes, even odd sizes. Not sure if the Zion II pants did away with the odd waist sizes, but I have several pairs of 35 waist Zions and Zion shorts.

The Zion II comes in a 35 waist which is what I wear. Don't know what store you were shopping but the Prana website has them.

Yeah, I saw that after the fact. Not trying to spend $100 on the prana website though. I’ll look around elsewhere for stores or sites that carry 35’s at a discount

Still would like to know what waist size the medium, large, and x-large correlate to

For what’s it’s worth, the original are coming back for 2023. They heard the feed back loud and clear

What changed between the old and new?

34,36,38... roughly. I'm a 35-36 and wear large in the old style

The new ones are garbage stay away. The material has a sheen to it and gets looser as you wear them. They are terrible.

I bought two pairs of “large / 30” off of eBay and these fit how I needed. The waist is more like a 35 and length is spot on.

I wear a 34/30 in jeans and these prana’s give me a little extra room for base layers.

Amazon sells them in 35. It's what I wear and where I buy them.
