Mountain Equipment Makalu Pant - Women’s Black 14 | GORE-TEX Hiking Pants

Makalu Pant – Women

The Mountain Equipment Makalu Pant for women blends weather protection with agile movement, built for days on rugged trails and variable conditions. The classic black finish suits alpine adventures, forest treks, or travel days, offering a streamlined look that pairs with layers without appearing bulky.

Weather protection and fabric technology

Crafted with a robust three-layer build and a 75D face fabric, these pants resist wear from rocks and brush while maintaining flexibility as you bend and climb. The inner membrane relies on a modern GORE-TEX with ePE system for breathable, waterproof performance, so you stay comfortable on damp ascents. A fluorocarbon-free DWR treatment helps water bead on the surface and dries quickly, reducing cling in light rain.

• Waterproof and breathable performance suitable for rain, spray, and wind
• Durable three-layer construction resists wear on rough terrain
• Lightweight 75D face fabric balances durability and packability

Designed for movement

The Makalu Pant features an active fit with articulated knees and a gusseted crotch, delivering freedom of movement on climbs, scrambles, or long approaches. An integrated elasticated waistband with a drawcord lets you customize the fit over mid-layers or a shell, keeping the pant secure as you move.

• Articulated knees support natural movement
• Gusseted crotch reduces restriction during dynamic steps
• Elastic waistband with adjustable drawcord for a personalized fit

Practical details that count

Ventilation and layering are built in. Two-way length zips run along the sides with an internal flap to protect against wind and rain, making it easier to shed or add the pant over boots. The hem is adjustable, allowing you to seal out cold air or snow for a tidy, practical finish.

• 2-way YKK WR side zips with internal flap for venting and protection
• Adjustable hems to tailor length over different footwear

What to expect on trail and beyond

In a versatile black, the Makalu Pant offers a balanced combination of protection, durability, and mobility. It’s designed to support a range of activities—from alpine routes to forest paths and travel days—without overpromising outcomes. Consider it a capable companion when conditions demand reliable layering, solid protection, and comfort that endures through extended wear.
