Honesty these pants were way better than I expected coming from China. The fit is great and so far they hold up to moderate climbing and yard work. Overall I'm very happy
Very easy to order and the free shipping is great but the delivery took way too long
Ces pantalons sont uniques dans leur genre car non seulement ils sont conçus pour les randonnées mais vous pouvez les porter du matin au soir. Ils sont parfaits pour le travail de la maison. J'espère que d'autres couleurs vont être bientôt disponibles.
I found the order process to be straightforward and received numerous status updates. I received my hoodie on the date promised. Unfortunately, I have only been able to wear it once due to the weather being mostly rainy but that's no fault of Northbound.
I have purchased several hiking pants and the quality is excellent. I especially like the size ranges, since I am a tall slender woman who has a difficult time finding long enough pants that aren't huge on me.
It seems like the items are ready for shipment in a timely manner, but they get stuck in some remote place for weeks waiting for USPS to get it. During this time customer service isn't even able to get an update. One of my orders was lost. After several friendly emails back and forth I finally got replacement order quickly - expedited shipping.
Northbound Gear - find a new shipper!
So easy to order items.the quality was exceptional. The delivery to Australia was very fast. Was kept up to date with all aspects of the delivery. Would recommend Northbound gear to anyone.
Well-designed pants, appreciate the bottom zippers (though would recommend a reinforcing tab that covers the zipper to reduce strain (by boots seem to be larger that the pant legs). Comfortable and will rate again with some miles on them.
If there is a return policy that could keep return postage fees to a minimum that would be great. It cost me $50 to return an item and because of that may not purchase in the future although I really do like the store.
Very nice pants, exactly as described. Went on a walk to in the south west of Tasmania (Australia) last weekend and found they were just a bit too warm for that. It would probably be good for skiing or similar.
Easy to negotiate site, sizing fully explained, instantly placed order, updated regularly through shipping process, received prior to eta, exceptional quality product.
The adventure pants are by far the best cold weather hiking pants out there. The stretchy material and fleece lining makes them perfect for any cold weather hiking. They are incredibly durable and super easy to wash. The zippered pockets are excellent for securing your keys, wallet, phone etc. I would highly recommend these pants if you're looking for a durable and comfortable pair of hiking pants.
All good as usual. Quick shipping and a great product, fit as expected, and super comfortable
I wear them for my search & rescue work - this was my second pair because they are so good, hard wearing and comfortable. They are incredibly warm for winter use but still comfortable in the summer I have recommended them to friends and colleagues.
The trousers are a good fit except that they are pretty tight around the calf muscles.not overly tight but they do hug the leg..
Fantastic, I ordered a pair of the fleece lined pants in winter, loved them so much so I got the summer pants now as well. Love all the flexible payment options and can't wait for more products to come out.
Easy and smooth process of payment. Great product and fast delivery
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.
