The HNTR Pants is Merkel Gears answer to the popular demand for light and, above all, modern-cut all-round hunting trousers for the warmer half of the year. The heart of the “HNTR” is the robust and very quiet outer fabric made of quick-drying 4-way stretch Oxford fabric. 95% polyamide and 5% elastane form the basis for a light and ultra-comfortable fabric that fits snugly and is also resilient. The fabric has a water-repellent, improved DWR finish. Like all trousers from Merkel GEAR, the new HNTR trousers are also equipped with a gusset in the cut, which additionally relieves the strain on the already strong double seams. The waistband is like all trousers from Merkel GEAR is extremely comfortable and convenient and can be closed with two loop buttons and a YKK® Semi-Auto Zipper. Sufficient belt loops and discreet storage options for suspenders keep the trousers where they belong. The HNTR Pants have two side pockets and a back pocket with a subtle zipper. On the left thigh there is a tight-fitting, very inconspicuous cargo pocket that is closed with a flap and magnet. There is a discreet nap pocket on the right thigh and a smartphone pocket underneath for standard-sized cell phones. The knees are pre-shaped twice to give the pants a natural fit. As with the MNTN II, the inner side seams in the lower area are moved outwards, which looks sporty and increases the durability of the double seams in this particularly stressed area. The leg cuffs fit closely to the shoe and have a partial elastic waistband, which underlines the modern overall impression of the trousers and makes life more difficult for ticks. Anyone who is looking for light trousers for summer or African hunting, values an excellent price/performance ratio and prefers a modern, feminine cut will certainly have a lot of fun with the HNTR Pants!
