Makke Pant – ready for all adventures

Our most popular hiking pant – a test winner with top ratings

The Makke Pant is our bestseller – a favorite among hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. The pant has won several Best-in-Test awards and has been praised as one of the best hiking pants on the market. Most recently, it topped the German Outdoormagazin (issue 4, 2024).

Makke is an iconic hybrid pant with a slim silhouette, made from a blend of materials to maximize both freedom of movement and durability.

The pant is crafted from sustainable materials, primarily Lundhags Polyester Cotton – a mix of organic cotton and recycled polyester with mechanical stretch. The stretch panels are made from Schoeller Dryskin softshell material, providing protection against tears and wear while allowing for free and easy movement. Additionally, they efficiently wick moisture away from the body. To enhance airflow, practical ventilation zippers are placed on the inside of the thighs, in the hand pockets, and along the outside of the legs. Schoeller Keprotec reinforcements around the ankles offer extra durability in rugged terrain.

A Whole Family of Makke Pants

Makke is available in Short, Regular, and Long models, and can be adjusted to fit your specific needs. The high waist/curved model is specially designed for women. The stretch fabric makes the pant suitable for many different body types.
The Makke family also includes Makke Pro for colder weather and Makke Light for summer hikes.
