I would buy this product again.

Very pleased with item.

Only slight concern is with the sizing, which appears to be a little on the small side.

Broken popper

A little bit let down after wearing the Makke Pant for the first time, within 5 minutes, a popper on the right leg cuff broke off. Hope this is a one off.

Very high quality but expensive

I decided it would be better to buy one high quality pair of hiking trousers than a couple of pairs of cheaper ones. I did quite a lot of research and the Makke pants seemed like the best value for money, although £161 is a lot of money.

I have a 34" waist. I didn't want my trousers to be too tight. I bought a 36 and 38. The 36 were too tight on my waist and thighs. The 38" are perfect on my legs but slightly too big around the waist. I'm glad I bought two pairs so I didn't have to wait to re-order the correct size.

The trousers are lightweight but they feel robust. They are nice and stretchy eventhough I sized up so that they weren't skin tight. They are water resistant although I haven't fully tested them yet.

Overall I'm very happy with the trousers and relieved I managed to get them at a discount.

One quality pair is probably better than a couple of pairs of inferior quality ones.

These are great trousers

Definitely size up on the waist for mens. Im a 34 but needed a 36 as they fit very tight across the front and rear . The length is spot on . I was warned but didn't listen .

Great functional design

These trousers are a great cut for being active. Lots of details that help with ventilation and the stretch material used to allow for articulation when climbing is great. Great to wear.

Pricey, but well worth it

Super quality walking trousers which have been well tested this summer. Cooling vents were much needed at times.

Makke wins over Askro Pro for me.

First adult Lundhags trousers, I have ordered both the Makke and the Askro Pro in size 46.

Makke is slightly heavier than Askro Pro, 430g vs 400g in size 46 (both much lighter than my FJR Keb with 550g). Makke is totally a slim fit, Askro pro is slightly wider in the thigh but same below knee, almost a straight fit. Similar features, Askro Pro misses the boot lace hook, but has a much longer side zip and a different top-front pocket opening - makes it less useful, less deep than Makke.

Lundhags sizing is strange, waist in size 46 Makke is more than 1cm smaller than Askro Pro and much smaller than Authentic II. I could not wear the Authentic but Makke is almost perfect - you can dial in the waist.

I do like the Makke better, definitely a better fit to me - I am 170cm and 55kg - and I do not like the touch of the material used on the knee/butt of the Askro Pro - which is similar to the one on the cuff but not the same. However the same material makes Askro Pro slightly lighter even though it is more broad/wider in thighs.
