I had the pants on a multi-day hike. It has four pockets. In the cargo pocket, which is not attached, but sewn right into the pants, even fits my slightly larger camera (11x7x4 cm) This is very convenient because I had the camera always at hand. Unfortunately, the short size is still very long and wide. The trousers can not just stitch up to, because yes the adjustable bands are attached to the cuffs. Nice back pockets would still have been. Otherwise, the pants are quickly drying and dirt-resistant. It is very convenient.
