As pants did not fit sent request to exchange and had answer back very next day. Am sending out in a couple days due to Christmas.
Easy to order hope it's worthwhile
Have not worn the pants yet
I loved how easy it was to purchase my Adventure pants and to have my discount applied. The sizing chart and recommendation to go down a size if between sizes was spot on. These pants are a dream to wear and look attractive.
I have worn these trousers in all weathers already, they are warm, comfortable and a pleasure to wear!
I got my new Apex Jacket on a day of freezing rain. Since I already had my "Adventure" pants on I decided to give both a good try. I spent an hour walking in freezing rain on trails that went through meadow and bushland. I came back comfortably dry and warm. Thank you for your excellent products!
They were slow at resolving the issue but at the end I got a refund. The product had the incorrect description about the material. They don't seem to have stock in Canada. The product was sent from overseas. They should not accept orders if the product is not in stock. Hopefully they will improve their policy
Easy to order and came quickly. These pants look very cozy and warm.
I wear them every day in the cold weather. They are super comfortable
My first Northbound pants were a 2 pairs Explorer pants and a pair of 2-in-1 Cargo Pant shorts. They are the most comfortable, functional and toughest pants I own. I wear them on my side by side, riding my bicycle and as my every day pants. I love them so much I ordered 2 pairs of Adventure pants for the winter. They are nice and warm for our Canadian winters.
I tell al my friend they need to buy Northbound Gear,

Finally had a chance to wear thes pants on a cold, breezy day in the Colorado Rockies. Temps were in the low 30's. Didn't wear an under layer and initially thought I might have under-dressed however once I warmed up hiking I was very comfortable. No tighness anywhere, especially around my knees which is very important to me post knee replacement.I purchased a pair for both my parther and me. Neither of us have much in the backside or hips to hold pant up so we wore belts, as it felt like the pants might slip however I did not notice a problem while movimg around and hiking. We bolh really like these pants. Our new go-to for winter hiking.
Shopping App was kind of wonky on my phone in the beginning however it sorted out okay. Also, wasn't very evident how to delete a selection in the cart but I managed to figure that out. Looking forward to receiving this product.
Very easy to order
Free shipping was good too
Love these pants...They are super warm in the coastal rain forests of Oregon and in daily life just around town.
The Northbound Gear website is very easy to negotiate. The service is excellent. Thank you.
Quick and efficient; both the service and the product met my highest expectations!
I've found shopping here very easy.
Two separate times I had questions, and got immediate, clear responses.
Easy seamless experience, took a few weeks to arrive but then so does items purchased in the UK
Great description and choices in the gear I am looking for. The quality of the gear was not disappointing.
The order also arrived on time!
Fast and easy to shop. Like that you make sure I got my delivery. Love that my purchase plants a tree. So glad it's a Canadian purchase and well organized. Love the pants I bought. Good quality and fit great.
My son loves the jeans he uses them for work and outdoor activities, I have also purchased the hiking pants, both are excellent products.
I keep getting the offer for adding a 2nd pair of Adventure pants for 25% off at $68.25 but when I accept that offer, the price of the 2nd pair is shown as $91 instead at checkout. I gave up after trying multiple times to add at that price.
The shopping experience was easy enough, though I was a little worried about sizing my adventure pants. It took only slightly longer than anticipated to arrive but it was worth it, and the company was quite good about emailing updates and tracking. The pants fit very well - the semi-elastic waist is a great feature! They are warm, durable, and have kept all moisture types I have encountered from soaking in or through. No frozen pants/legs this New England winter! I am very happy with this purchase.
Smooth process. No problems, no need for returns, high quality.
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.
