Best, most durable clothes for reasonable prices.
February 15, 2023
Updated review

The title says it all. I buy their rugged trousers for my brother who walks dogs daily. He is a punisher on his clothing, but the Northbound trousers hold up to daily use: no rips, or zipper issues or wear. I'm amazed. Thanks!

The shopping is fine, I just think one should be able to use their points, plus a discount code :)

Slow Delivery
March 17, 2023
Updated review

The product is great (water proof jeans) but the delivery was very slow. I also ordered a backpack on January 25 which I have not received for the trip I am presently on, we left on February 13. Very disappointed bot receiving the item.

I chatted we customer service over a week ago but that didn't;t seem to make any difference.

They took so long to arrive that I won't be able to really put them to the test until next winter.
Very disappointed with shipping time.

Good product….took a long time to arrive. I also don't appreciate being told by a robot that I have to put in a minimum 50 letters!

Pants pants pants
February 15, 2023

There was a slight delay in the shipping, I got a very fast response from the company when I contacted them and the pants ended up arriving not long after. Very good quality hiking pants, unique design. Will be looking to order other products from them.

Good work trousers for our engineers
February 15, 2023

Our engineers are onto their 2nd pair of Men's "Adventure" WaterResistant Pants. Fleece lined for warmth, water resistant and stretchy for comfort. Very tough wearing, last a long time.

I am quite offended by the addition of the tip function at check out. Just about did not order. With how much prices have gone up on everything I am triggered by machines that think up to a 25% tip is reasonable and automatically earned

Delivery
February 15, 2023
Updated review

The ordering process was great. I was frustrated with the lengthy delivery process until i realized that although designed in Canada was manufaktura overseas. Have to say that although the product is warm to wear outside in the snow. Both pair have had issues with item coming apart in the washer

Pants worked well for snowmobiling and skiing. Definitely a good pant for the Canadian prairie winters.

Slow Response
March 16, 2023

Slow response to my email asking about delivery schedule. Secondly, a slow response to requesting an exchange. Thirdly, slow/non response to exchange item I returned that I know has been delivered to Northbound. I'm to the point of canceling the exchange and asking for a refund.

Happy with order
February 13, 2023

Prompt replies about questions! My credit union doesn't like it when I order with Northbound, and I have trouble. Maybe because it's Canada and I'm US?

I hemmed and hawed over what size to get. I choose wrong. Returned them and I am still waiting for a response/refund. It was expensive to return as you don't have free shipping on returns unfortunately.
