Best cold weather pants ever!
November 24, 2022

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.

Apex & Adventure
November 24, 2022

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

Best pants I own
October 7, 2023
Previous review

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,

Great cold weather hiking pants
November 23, 2022

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.

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.

Great Winter Pants!
November 20, 2022

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.
