Lundhags - Makke Pant - Walking trousers tested

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.
