Northbound Gear

Have ordered and received 2 Northbound Gear winter pants, 2 tactical belts and their high end winter coat. Very high quality; great fit, superb service. Especially impressed withe the fact I could order a 28 inch leg with 36 inch waist. Most clothiers start with a 30 inch inseam meaning extra tailoring charges and inconvenience. Will be looking for summer weight gear in a few short months.

I bought the lined Northbound pants for my husband in black and green. They look great on him (just remember to go down one size and be mindful of the length). He just rotated between the two all winter, even though he has Eddie Bauer lined pants. Thanks Northbound for keeping us warm during this long hard winter!

Do not buy from this company if you live in the US, and do not trust the return process. I probably spent half a day, in total, with filling out custom forms and paying close to $30.00 to return a pair of pants to Canada. The company seems thorough clueless about providing a good buying experience. I had to send six emails in order finally to get 80% of my money back. Buyer beware.

Gave the Adventure Pants as a gift and got a second pair two weeks later great for Mountain Biking, Aftivities, Work and Leisure in the Northwoods Cold and Snow. Do become warm once temps break above 40 with long activity. Next up … Summer Pants. Will soon only own these pants. Men's pants size may be a little larger, measure to size.

Pants i ordered are great really like it but i got them like almost after month from order day
Im not use to such a long delivery lead time
Now i ordered (by mistake) a jacket,
Tracking number show that my order sitting somewhere in Jamaica NY for over e week now
That's really messed up

Bought a pair of the Men's Adventure water resistant pants. My order came within two weeks, I tried them on an found them very comfortable. I had to wait for cooler weather to wear them. I love the fact that the fabric stretches and moves with your body. I've bought other outdoor pants but they were rigid and stiff. Will definitely be buying these pants and other Northbound gear again!

I received my order promptly and there were confirmation emails updating about the order status which was great. I also appreciate the eco responsible packaging. The product looked exactly as ordered and I'm very pleased with the overall quality and performance. I've used my UV blocking shirt for fishing, boating and hunting. It's held up well in the wash so far and doesn't hold on to body odor.

Both jacket and pants are meeting my needs and what I was looking for lite hunting gears. Even tried them under cold raining shower… although no peace of garments are completely waterproof, these proof that they can sustain either light shower for a longer time or extreme pouring shower until you can reach a dryer spot. Yes, I recommend!

I bought the women's adventure trousers and have found them to be a comfortable good looking and practical pair of trousers in all weathers. The sizes are very generous…… I'm usually a UK16 but bought a 14 going on the reviews, in actual fact I feel I could go another size down. The inner fleece lining makes the trousers feel so snug without becoming too warm. I've only worn them over the winter which has been fine, although they may be too warm to wear over the summer but time will tell. British summer temperatures can vary a lot!
The waterproofing is excellent but does need reproofing after a couple of washes.
Also bought the men's weatherproof tactical jacket for my son who is equally pleased with the quality and performance.

I ordered a pair for my boyfriend and he loves them. They didn't come in a woman's (size18) for me but I found out I could wear his - 38/28 so bought me some too! Great for hiking. They breathe very well while keeping you dry!

I have returned the Women's Explorer summer pants, Size 12 as they were too small. I had purchased size 14 last year and they were a bit too big.
I have exchanged the Women's Adventure Water Resistent pants size 12 because they were too short waisted. I purchased Size 14 last year and they were too big. I have asked to exchange them for Size 12 high waisted. Last year they came with a belt but not this year.
I noticed the styles have changed since last year and I don't feel the quality is the same.

A quality experience and a quality pants. Excellent fabric, very well made. Fit through waist and hips is perfect. Only drawback is that I don't love the way the leg line, not quite streamlined or flattering. Will probably still keep.

This am, minus 10 C, north wind, 6 inches of snow, no longjohns, parka, the pants were up to standard. Very comfortable, warm, i am satisfied so far.0 wind penetration, good!

Ordered from Northbound Gear for the first time. A bit of apprehension at first that it might be one of those poor quality product dressed up with a nice website and presentation. After receiving the long sleeved top, it realised that the quality is good, material is light and cooling while the shirt was true to size. Well done! My wife was aghast at the camouflage pattern though since I stop serving in the an army a long time ago.

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.

Love the pants, great fit, great look. Definitely need to wear the pants with a belt though. The elastic waist is great for comfort but can ride down when bent over.
Constant email and marketing can be less. So many specials, and discounts its hard to keep track of whats a good deal or not. The more marketing that gets sent out, the faster it gets read and deleted maybe to my own detriment..

The pants are excellent! They are warm and comfortable to hike in. I've taken them snowshoing and regular hiking and they've not disappointed. I ordered mine to be a little bigger so that I can comfortably wear long underwear underneath.

Haven't wore yet but look good. Only issue I have is unlike other online stores I buy from returns for exchange due to fit are not covered.probably won't buy again due to this hefty additional expense. I bought 2 pair same size yet one was too tight.

I was offered a timed discount of an additonal 25% if I added another pair of Adventure pants. I did add it immediately and the discount did not come through. The customer service chat person said they were sorry about that and gave me a code for 10% off. Also, the welcome discount code i received in my email was invalid! After I completed my order they offered me a 25% off coupon again. Shipping was slower than I had hoped but I did read it could take 2 weeks to 30 days after I made the order. Returns are not as smooth as I am used to with other company's. I filled out the request for return form twice. When I finally called to get return directions I was told they never got the request I had sent twice from their return merchandise page. I did then receive permission to return one of my items which has to be sent to Canada, not New Jersey where the package came from. Shipping costs were high. I am still waiting for one item on my original order. They were not clear about how the shipments would be divided for delivery in the beginning of this whole thing but that's a long story.

This company doesn't have inventory, they take your order then place it with their supplier in China and you wait, and wait, and wait. Customer service will respond with a copy/paste response, absolutely no help. Any additional inquiries are ignored. Order placed 11/29/21, shipping label created in the US. They scan the label every few days but the package never moves. It must hit customs before it gets to USPS. The "warehouse" address belongs to a UPS store! Buyers beware.
3/18/22- addition. I received the order 28 days after it was placed but wasn't correct. Engaged with CS the same-day package arrived, sent the requested picture of the incorrect product. The "replacement" has a label created 12/28/21 but I have yet to receive what I ordered! CS continues to respond with we are talking to the carrier... coming up on 3 months now and STILL don't have the product I ordered from them and zero help from CS.

These are the most comfortable pants for everyday hiking in winter weather: west coast rain, not too cold but perfect for up to minus 10. They are long enough for me and I'm 5 foot nine inches. Lightweight but warm and cosy. I'm happy!

Bought as a gift for my husband, he loves them! High quality materials, reinforced knees, lined pants- great buy!

I used northbound gear on a remote Scottish ATV mountain trip with my cattle dog.it was top class and very ATV friendly..
