Product lands in IL then takes days longer to arrive by heading out East to NY when I am in MN adding many days and my frustration to the experience. Pants are good but I am not sure they are worth the cost.
The pants are great, fit well and are very comfortable, they are now my go to winter pants. If I was to improve one thing on the pants it would be a slightly longer fly zipper.
I really like the pants but delivery took along time.
I've been looking for a pair of comfortable insulated pants and purchased a pair from Northbound Gear. I liked the fabric and construction, but I found the fit too loose in the thighs, so decided to return them. The return policy is "full refund within 60 days", but that really isn't exactly the case. Although my pants were shipped to me from the United States, the return address is in BC Canada, and shipping there is not cheap, plus they charge a restocking fee. On top of that, getting the return authorization took several of calls and emails. I'm hoping I eventually get the refund.
Online shopping can be hit or miss so I was happy when I tried these on for the first time. These pants look nice on, feel nice, are comfortable to wear and practical for many outdoor activities. Shipping was decently fast and overall I'm satisfied and would recommend to a friend.
Pants are warm & comfortable. Zippered pockets are nice sized. Hoping they hold up.
Only drawback was delivery time.
5'9 140lbs. Size 4-tall was a perfect fit. Great, soft fabric on the inside. Can't wait to try them out in the cold weather.
So far very good. Ordering process very easy. Love the pants.
The product is very nice. The delivery was very delayed. Took around 1 month.
Great quality product, awesome fleece lining, great exterior material for hiking, but a poor fit. Very tight through the thigh and loose in the waist. I'm 5'2" and 160lb, ordered a short size 12. I can't freely move my legs to hike because of how tight the pants are in the thigh. Even with a belt, the pants are way too big in the waist and are consistently falling down. I won't be able to get another size because if I go down a size for the waist, the legs will be too tight, and if I go up a size for the legs, the pants will fall off my waist. I will need to be sending these pants back unfortunately.
The pants are amazing. Fit is the same as you wear for jeans. Only thing is is that it took forever to receive my order (5weeks or so). I'd buy again for sure.
It took 3 weeks to receive my order. In this day and age, that is way too long. Not sure if it's just cheap shipping, or the USPS, but I expected better.
The pants come off way too sweaty parts like. I was a little disappointed with the styling.
It gets down to low 30º F, and these pants are PERFECT for keeping warm while maintaining an outdoor lifestyle. These pants are both rugged and comfortable. I'm a slim 5'7" and 145lbs and the size 28x28 fits flawlessly without a belt. The textured knees can take a beating. Bonus for pet owners—I can brush dog fur right off these pants!
Delivery took longer than expected. Clothes are awesome!
It took a month to receive my order. Shipping was very slow and I could not track it.
Shopping was easy, shipping pretty fast. Pants are comfortable, very good in the wind, look good, and are well made. They are a little long, and the pocket zippers creep open with movement, but overall pleased with them!
Ordered the jacket and arrived within the timeframe. Great fit and the quality seems to be very good. Not had chance to test it properly but so far so good.
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.
