I own both these pants and the fabric of the Makalu is alot like Polartec Powershield Lightweight (which is a good thing) So it compares more to the Gamma MX, or somewhere in between the AR and MX. It's extremely soft and comfortable, like wearing sweatpants.

I think that the Makalu Pants are a little heavier in weigh than the Gamma AR Pants. The Makalu Pants have a brushed interior that feels really soft and fleecy. Not sure about the Gamma AR Pants. The Makalu Pants weigh 19oz. and the Gamma AR's weigh 17oz. and both I am sure are very durable. Here is a description of the fabric used in the Makalu Pants - Tuff Stretch Thermal: 58% nylon, 31% polyester, 11% elastane four-way comfort stretch double weave, 168 x 153. Durable, tightly woven nylon face with soft brushed back. DWR finish. 7.25 oz/sq yd. Hope this info helps!
