The Woodsman is a technical softshell pant for enduro riding. It’s just as at home on tight Northwest woods singletrack as it is in the open desert or on extended ADV trips. The hybrid design puts a Schoeller waterproof/breathable material on the knees and seat for protection from wet brush, wet seats, and water crossings, while the DWR coated nylon oxford upper provides excellent breathability.
(Note: 1. The current Woodsman Pant fits true-to-size. Our previous delivery ran small. 2. The Obsidian and Onyx colors are our black / charcoal color options, but from different seasons. The new Onyx charcoal panels are slightly darker than last seasons Obsidian.)
The Woodsman takes design inspiration from ski touring and alpine gear. The first thing you’ll notice is that it’s ‘stretchy.’ Not just in a few small panels but everywhere. To complement the stretchiness, we articulated the patterns for athletic riding and for alternating between a seated and standing riding position. They are comfortable enough that minimalists can use them as their only pair of pants on a multi-day trip. They work on and off the bike, around the fire, and out for a beer. Dust and dirt are the only things that will give them away as riding pants.
There are four vents on the thighs, two cargo pockets for your wallet, phone, trail map, or clip knife, and two hand pockets that are ‘handy’ when you’re off the bike. The pockets all zip closed, so you won’t lose your valuables if you bounce off the trail. The Woodsman is cut to fit inside your boot for durability and grip and has ample stretchiness for maximum mobility. Depending on your perspective, the Woodsman is a ‘touring pant you can trail-ride in' or a ‘trail-riding pant you can tour in.’
They work on the bike and off, around the fire, and out for a beer. Dust and dirt are the only things that will give them away as riding pants. The Woodsman’s in-boot design allows you to grip the bike directly with your boot – without pinching fabric in the middle – which is how the bike-makers and boot-makers intended it. That’s why you rarely see off-road racers in over-the-boot pants. Unlike most in-boot pants, the Woodsman has a full-length inseam, so you won’t get that ‘moto-capri’ look when your boots come off.
With the Woodsman, we’re breaking free from the convention that you need to wear waterproof ADV gear all the time. In most sports, the rain gear comes off when the rain stops. With ADV, many riders wear waterproof gear in every type of weather, regardless of whether it’s raining or not. Even in the desert with no chance of rain, we see ADVers in head-to-toe waterproof clothes, trying to manage their heat problems in all sorts of creative ways. With the Woodsman, you can take off your rain gear and continue your trip in stretchy, breathable, comfortable pants when the rain stops.
The Woodsman takes a hybrid approach to water management. The thighs and butt are fully waterproof with a 3-Layer Schoeller softshell, while the crotch and calves are membrane-free for maximum breathability. All the seams are taped, and the entire pant is treated with a Durable Water Repellant (DWR) coating, so light water beads up at the surface. There’s just enough water repellency for stream crossings, muddy puddles, dewy brush, and light rain without causing heat problems for the rest of the ride. We call the Woodsman a ‘90% pant,’ because 90% of the time it’s exactly what you need.
Our apparel is designed to fit true to size over body armor – no need to size up; we've done the math for you.

Ce pantalon a une matière qui la rend très respirante, mais ses propriétés coupe-vent et déperlante en font un partenaire idéal pour les conditions européennes moyennes (froid, boue) même s’il peut se porter par des chaleurs importantes avec ses ouvertures ventilées. Si temps chaud je me dirige vers mon kiger mesh pant.
Même s’il ne protège pas de la pluie il séchera néanmoins vite.
Le seul bémol c’est sa résistance. Au vu des parties exposées en tissu, j’ai peur qu’il se troue dans le temps. Il supportera un posé de genou sur les cailloux le temps de réparer une chose sur la moto, mais je crains la chute avec un peu d’inertie, le tissu ne devrait pas résister. Au prix du pantalon ce serait une chute qui coute cher.
I have contacted MM with no reply on this.
I already owned the Woodsman Enduro (ITB) from the Gen 1. The sizing was smaller than expected but they still worked. Wore them on most rides, love the material, would rate them a solid 4 -5 stars. 5 stars if the crotch was so small. Then I saw that the next Gen pants had been fixed, size 40 was made to actually fit size 40. Unfortunately not true, the pants I received are much smaller than the previous gen woodsman, and they for some reason made the 40 incredibly baggy and 3 inches longer (i'm 6'4" and they are ridiculously long). So wouldn't recommend them at all. Material is still great, construction and sizing shape on new gen are terrible. Hopefully MM can make this right, sucks to buy $750 + trousers that you know to receive ones that seem to have been made much worse.
I think this is the most well rounded offering for a pant out there that can go from adventure touring to off-road. Super versatile with very usable pockets and ventilation, protective (haven't gone down yet while wearing them however), fit, and fits the aesthetic, in my opinion.
I bought the Woodsman Pant in winter and tested it for the first time under demanding conditions this weekend. I was at an enduro training at the Enduro Center Mammut. It hailed and rained from above, and we rode through countless puddles from below. I wore the pants under my Rak Overpant, hoping that the weather would clear up and I could take off the rain pants. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Nevertheless, the pants were incredibly comfortable, even all day under the other pants. It was a perfect combination by the end of the day because I could simply take off the dirty Overpant and ride comfortably with the Enduropant in the evening. I am absolutely in love with these pants and can only recommend them to everyone. Dear Mosko-Moto Team: You have brought an excellent product to the market - I am very satisfied - thank you for that.
I love these so much, I have these in both over-the-boot and in-the-boot. Comfortable fit and great protection from the trail and weather elements with super functional vents for so many temp variations.
