The Schöffel is supplied with its own belt, which is very easy. The pants have four spacious, lockable bags. It is very light and very comfortable to wear. The Schöffel Bowden is a light summer pants, not waterproof. The zippers with stretch the legs are attached, do not look very sturdy. I have one of these pants now for 5 years, no problems so far. Only the zipper on the back pocket is once "jumped out", but could be with a little tact and patience again and fix work since then good. However, I would expect the zippers not too much. I especially like the elastics and the leg openings, which are very useful when hiking but also for cycling. Overall, a very nice pair of pants that I not only recommend them but have even bought later to have a replacement copy.
