prAna

The founders of prAna started out to make sustainably made and beautiful yoga and climbing apparel in 1992, and the company has mostly stayed true to those ideas. Today, Prana is an industry pioneer in eco-friendly methods, such as the usage of organic cotton, recycled wool, RDS-certified down, and bluesign-approved textiles in their clothes. They're also encouraging other firms to join their Responsible Packaging Movement in a collaborative effort to help reduce packaging waste throughout the industry.

One standout in prAna's current collection is their Stretch Zion II pant (and women's Halle II), which is one of our go-to hiking pants thanks to its exceptional balance of comfort and performance. The sophisticated hues make it a feasible alternative for around town and travel, and it also works well as a climbing pant. Those looking for technical, mountain-ready shells and insulation should seek elsewhere, but Prana offers excellent everyday appeal (particularly in outdoorsy locations like Boulder, Bend, and Seattle).
