Northbound Gear are always a pleasure to deal with. The service is always first class and the products excellent quality. Can't fault them and would thoroughly recommend
I am always reticent about buying online. Especially if it's something expensive! My son is a rock climber and is very outdoorsy. It arrived in good time and he was thrilled with his hoodie!
Hassle free the gear is what the say it is and better the best gear I have by far
Bought a lovely hoody for my husband. Really soft material, comfortable and quick drying. He loves it!

The knapsack is well made but lacks interior pockets. It is very basic. For the price it should have more zippered areas.
Awesome pants, well made and well stitched. I need help get them off...too good to unrobe!
Hi Boipuso,
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you love them and find them well-made. If you ever need assistance or have any questions about our products, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Enjoy your awesome pants!
Coat is warm although slight bit of rain comes through zipper. Wish there was a womens version as shoulders fit big, but good for layering. Pants are for daughter who is shorter than i thought at 5'2" so will return for short version, but otherwise love the quality of both
Pants are good but I should have sized down. Would rather be big than too small though.
Very pleased with my trousers which are a perfect fit and true to size, should be ideal for an upcoming trip to Iceland.
Wow, Susan! We greatly appreciate your feedback and the fantastic 5-star rating you've awarded our trousers! It's wonderful to hear that they are a perfect fit and true to size, especially as you prepare for your upcoming trip to Iceland.
Safe travels, and we look forward to serving you again in the future!
I ordered a summer UV protect hoodie from Northbound which is advertising as a Canadian company so I obviously expected the order to be shipped from Canada. When it got shipped and I received the tracking number i realized it was coming from China. Manufacturing in china is one thing but not holding your own inventory in country but deop shipping from China is a big no no for me. It took 3 weeks to get here ehich was a huge turn off. BUT even knowing what I know now I would order again because the hoodie itself is absolutely awesome, I live it so much im gonna order a second one and one for my wife. Its absolutely the best garment you can wear as a top for summer outdoors activities, nothing less…
I ordered and received another 2 pairs of adventure pants. These are my 3rd and 4th pair to be added into my rotation. I just spent the last week on Georgian Bay fishing with these pants. It was windy, cold, raining and very warm at times. These pants performed flawlessly. Sitting on a wet boat sit, kneeling on the wet dock tying up my boat, splashed with wake and spray and my legs stayed dry. My go-to for hunting, fishing, cross-country skiing, fat biking or just being warm doing yard work. Shipping time has really improved as well.
Hi Mike,
It sounds like you've made a fantastic choice with those adventure pants! Thanks for choosing Northbound Gear. Your 5-star review really made our day! Have many more successful adventures ahead!
Had a question and it was answered quickly. Just ordered 2 more pairs of the Adventure Pants. They are awesome.
Ordering was easy, found the product color quite different than the item showed on the web page. Unfortunately will be returning the item. One question - why doesn't Northbound send a prepaid return slip when returning items, cost to return is costly for the costumer.

This was a gift to my partner. He enjoyed the look and fit of Northbound pants. Just need to wait for winter to see how warm they will be.

Answer: So far the evidence is that it is a scam. Ask me in a year and maybe it will have arrived in time for next hiking trip.
Answer: China... apparently. Won't know for sure as not yet arrived.
Answer: Hi Elizabeth, I'm sorry for the delay. Upon checking, it shows that your order was shipped last October 14, however, there seems to be a delay with the delivery on the courier's end. They provided an update on the tracking information and I attached a link for your reference. https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/track-reperage/en#/details/1023038360005180 As much as I love to expedite the delivery, this situation is out of our control. No worries, I will reach out to the courier to see to it that the item will be delivered soon. Rest assured that your order will be delivered anytime soon.
