Macna Takar – Men's Aramide CE Class AA Cargo Motorcycle Jeans – Black

The Macna Takar is a cargo-style motorcycle jean with a tapered fit, which Macna describes as being designed for city riders in warm weather. It is made of stretch cotton—a twill-structured fabric blended with synthetic yarns and elastane—and reinforced internally with aramid fiber in critical areas, those that are the first to scrape in a slide. The most noticeable feature is the two large cargo pockets on the sides of the legs. Macna states that Level 1 RISC™ protectors are included at the knees and hips, along with Backonnect™ predisposition, the zipper that connects the jeans to a Macna jacket. For the men's model, Macna also lists an adjustable waist strap and height-adjustable knee protection. Under technical homologation, Macna specifies EN 17092 and Class AA. Color black: solid black, with the two large cargo pockets on the thighs in the same color. 12 sizes: from 28 to 40, plus short inseam versions 30-32-34-36-38. Product code 165.4018.

📏 Size Guide

Official Macna size chart, "Mens Jeans" section, shown in full and also converted to inches. The ✔ symbol indicates available sizes in this listing; "✔ short" indicates those also available with a shorter inseam. Waist is measured at navel height, hips at the widest point of the pelvis, inseam between the groin and ankle bone. Macna specifies that when measurements suggest different sizes, the larger size should be chosen. Macna only publishes the short inseam from size 34 upwards (76 cm, versus 81 cm for regular). 30 Short and 32 Short versions exist and we sell them, but for these two sizes, Macna does not publish the inseam measurement: we do not invent it.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What color is this version of the Macna Takar?
This is the Black color, code 165.4018.101: solid black, with the two large cargo pockets on the thighs in the same color. Each color is a separate listing, with its own item codes and barcodes, so the size you choose is always for the color you are viewing.

What does "EN 17092 Class AA" mean?
EN 17092 is the European standard for motorcycle protective clothing and has five classes: AAA, AA, A, B, and C. AA is the second highest: only AAA, for race suits, is higher. Under Technical Homologation on the technical sheet, Macna specifies EN17092, Class AA, CE Level 1 knee protection and CE level 1 hip protection.

Are protections included?
According to Macna, yes, on the knees and hips: the model description states that "our level 1 RISC™ protectors are present on the knees and hips," and the technical sheet lists both Knee protection and Hip protection, with CE level 1 approval for both. ⚠️ For accuracy, we point out that an Italian retailer describes the hips as only pre-fitted: if this point is crucial for you, please write to us before ordering and we will verify it on the garment we are about to ship to you.

What is aramid fiber and where is it located?
It is the high abrasion-resistant fiber used as reinforcement. Macna states that the critical areas, i.e., impact zones, are reinforced internally with aramid: the reinforcement is not visible from the outside; it is on the reverse side of the fabric. The supplier's composition data is 67% cotton, 30% polyamide, 2% other, 1% elastane.

What is Backonnect™?
It is the connecting zipper developed by Macna that joins the jeans to the jacket, to prevent the jacket from riding up while riding and in case of a fall. The Takar is pre-fitted: the Backonnect™ zipper is a separate accessory and is not included in this listing.

Is it a hot weather jean? Is it ventilated?
Macna classifies it for warm climates and answers "yes" in the ventilation section of the technical sheet. It is not a perforated garment: breathability comes from the stretch cotton and the protectors, which Macna describes as "hollow-structured to allow them to breathe" (ventilated protection).

What is the difference from the women's version?
These are two distinct items with different codes: 165.4018 for men and 165.4020 for women, with different sizes (28-40 versus 26-34) and a different cut. On the men's model technical sheet, Macna additionally lists the adjustable waist strap and the height-adjustable knee protection, which do not appear on the women's model page.

What size should I get?
Sizes follow denim numbering, which does not correspond to waist circumference in centimeters: measure yourself and compare with the table above, given in centimeters and inches, and if you fall between two sizes, take the larger one, as Macna recommends. Macna publishes the short inseam only from size 34 up (76 cm, versus 81 cm for regular). 30 Short and 32 Short versions exist and we sell them, but for those two sizes, Macna does not publish the inseam measurement: we do not invent it.

Is it an original Macna product?
Yes. Moon Bike S.r.l. is an authorized Macna dealer: this Takar is an original, new, and unworn item, supplied with invoice and legal guarantee. We ship from Cercola, in the province of Naples, with appropriate packaging for the garment.
