Customer Reviews Prana Brenna Pants

I'm 5' 6.5" tall; chest: 36.75"/34B/36A natural waist: 29-30" lower waist: 34.5" hips: 37" usual inseam: about 31-32" I've purchased Prana pants only once before (Halle) and made the mistake of going with a size 10. They were way too large for my liking. Prana does seem to run large in the waist but slim in the hip, which is perfect for me since that means ordering a 6 in these Brenna pants means a true skinny jean fit without much of a muffin top. Pros: Stylish for hiking and street wear; just enough stretch to avoid muffin topping; even with a 30" inseam they don't look silly - more like ankle pants. Cons: A little tight around the knee, so they do require a breaking-in period; back pockets are a little large and thus not the most flattering for those of us with small butts; a little scratchy.

I bought these in Coal in an 8 and a 10. Reading the reviews, I thought that the 8 would be the keeper, but nope, it's the 10. For reference: I'm 5'7" 146 lbs, fit, hourglass figure, 44 yrs. old. While technically the 8 fit, they looked "poured on" which is not the look I want at my age, and there would be no way I could wear them to meetings even in my hip design-based company. The 10 looked much better--it was still fitted, but in a good way and these really do justice my rear end IMO. It's the way the pockets are styled and the fabric, I think. The $89 price tag is pretty hefty for synthetic material anything, but the cut/design makes it worth it. I'm going to buy the green also-it's rare that pants fit so well. I hope they make them in some other cool colors, like rust red or an eggplant purple. Just as an FYI, like another reviewer said, Prana pants can run large--I kept a 10 in the Halle and wish I had kept the 8--but the reverse is true for me with these. It truly depends on the style. I hope I get a gift card from Prana or Zappos for this glowing review!!

I usually wear an 8 in most pants. I own the Prana Halle pants which I adore. Knowing that skinny pants usually are too skinny for my liking I got these in size 10. Perfect fit. I love the moto inspired stitching on the knee. The fabric feels fabulous: substantial but stretchy and even though it says midrise, I consider it a low rise (below belly button) which I wanted. It’s a 30 length and they are plenty long. For reference I’m 5’9, 147 pounds.

I love the way these pants fit me. I bought size 8 in olive whereas I normally wear size 10 or 30 in most brands. In my opinion, Prana pants tend to run large, by one whole size, while their tops sometimes run half a size small. These pants are pretty tight (thence four stars for comfort) but the material seems stretchy, so I am hoping that they will be more comfortable after wearing them a while, even though I hope they won't get too loose. Pretty sexy-looking, due to the cut and the thinness of the fabric, so I won't be wearing them to work.

Wow. I already love Prana but I love this brand even more because of these pants! These fit perfectly and feel great. They're also super versatile! I could wear them with heels, flats, dress boots, OR hiking boots. Love them!

I'm 5'8" and weigh 175#. I bought these in Coal, size 12. The material reminds me of hiking pants. The pants are tight (and stretchy) and they are a bit long. I roll them up about 1-2 inches so they don't bunch at the bottom. The moto details on the legs and pockets give these pants a distinct look. I wear these rolled with booties or unrolled with a pair of flats.

These pants are the best... fit is perfect but I would recommend going down a size because they do stretch out after a couple hours of wearing.. the color doesn't wash away either... order them in every color
