I have 3 pairs of pants from Northbound. One water resistant summer, and two water resistant adventure. I really like these pants. I wear the adventure pants in the winter, and they are warm enough for daily dog walks, even in -20 weather. The summer pants are much lighter, and perfect for warmer days. All three pairs are well-made. Good quality fabric and finishing. I have been wearing the pants for over one year, and have had no issues. No ripped seams, no tears, zippers all working fine. I am impressed with the quality of these pants. I also purchased the "Commander" quick release belt, which fits all the pants well. The webbed nylon is very strong, and the metal buckle is solid, and not only works very well, but looks great. The belt will fit my 30 inch waist, and will expand to almost double that size. I recently ordered a pair of the waterproof jeans. Again, good quality material and finishing. I have yet to test them in the rain, but am confident that they will perform as well as the other pairs.
Customer service has been excellent. They were helpful in answering my questions, and even advised me on the proper fit for my size.

The Northbound customer service team was very helpful with, and understanding of, my issue. A special discount was sent to me, and I did buy a pair of the excellent Water restraint pants.

Trousers for Alaska trip
September 8, 2023

Ordered summer lightweight trousers and 100% waterproof jeans for a trip to Alaska. The lightweight trousers are fantastic and a good fit. However the same size 100% waterproof jeans were a little baggy around the thighs, so have returned for the next size down.

Drop-shipped straight from China
October 5, 2023

The gear seems okay so far other than a few fit issues, but I didn't love how it came straight from China over a long period of shipping time.
