The Bowden is a pair of pants that I like to wear for almost every occasion all year round. I have my second made me. Depending on the level of activity it is suitable even for outdoor operations in the winter. On the other hand the Bowden is diffusible, so you never even indoors sweating it. She has a (for me) ausgezeichnetet anatomical fit that allows freedom of movement, and always some air cushion includes, which heats up, and the wind tightness of the trousers is also retained. It was so far hardly ever needed to wear thermal underwear under the unlined pants. In addition, rain runs off, and the trousers dries very quickly when wet. By elastics and Tankas at the ankles, it is also good to wear boots on. Very advantageous I find the good facilities with lockable (zips) bags. The material itself has an amazing robustness; even thorns result not equal to tears. Also, the fabric is quite resistant to dirt. The build quality is excellent, keeping all seams. With all these features, the pants is very light and small pack. Two drawbacks, there are also: The pants rustling very clear. Caution around the campfire. Sparks melts rapidly holes in the pants.
Addendum 10.04.2014: Who likes to wear a set of keys open in your pocket, which is the material of the inner bag may zerfleddern soon. Oddly, this has happened in my two moderns Bowden. Perhaps here also the seam was sewn with too little supernatant
These pants I bought here on 27.Dez.1013. My review (see above) had now lost the link to the right product, so that I could edit anything. So here again the whole.
