Found the fleece lining on trousers really warm and waterproof
It's our 3 pants that we purchased so we definitely like them.
After Order, through shipment tracking, revealed made in China in an area with one of the worst human rights records. Took over two weeks to come from China. Product is disgusting, cheap as hell and horrible to wear. Would never recommend or deal with these people EVER again!
My boyfriend loves them! Only thing was long shipping delay but otherwise experience is nice!
Delivery took a bit longer than I expected.
Very happy with the pants I ordered.
Regards
Why did the same item listed for $99?
Very good experience overall.
However, I find that 30 inch pants in Short size is still long. They should be shorter. I'm 5'3" so I had to have them hemmed which adds to the price.
Of the products I ordered one was really nice, but the return process has been less than thrilling. They have a ridiculous "restocking" fee and it cost me 50 dollars to ship the return back to them. I have still not seen a refund on the rest of the money. I took a gamble on a Canadian company and I am regretting it. I desperately wanted to like this product and experience.
Great ordering experience. Order was sent to ave address instead of street address. The follow up on delivery allowed items to be delivered on time. My thanks for resolving issue.
The quality of pants to date, is a great fit and I won't hesitate to reorder.
Please consider a neutral color line such as khaki for future options.
Fast and easy ordering. The only wrinkle is that the tracking in Canada was a little spotty.
I placed my order on March 15th and it finally arrived on today April 14th. That is ridiculous! And everyday I got an email if I wanted to place another order. Why?
Bought these for husband to wear while playing pétanque on a muddy puddly pitch. I wear ordinary waterproof over-trousers. They are so comfortable he seems to wear them all the time. No longer need to worry about mud splashing up or rain falling down.
Ordered in mid March…arrived size wrong….sent back for exchange….lovely upbeat emails assuring me of new pair coming….mid April.no item…leaving tomorrow for vacation.
Your mailing system seems a bit slow. Sorry I took a chance on Northbound. I was trying to support Canadian.
Received pants after 2weeks in transit from Northbound. Found them to be a bit "wispy" in construction but am sure I will find appropriate situations for their use. Fit is great! Will see how they hold up to a variety of conditions.
I love the fit and the look of these pants. I'm a senior woman and find these so comfortable and fit true to size. They are slimming, full of zippered pockets and the fabric seems to resist soiling. They're good for both casual city and true country hiking, extremely versatile.
Super comfy, warm and a nice fit, thinking of getting a second pair.
I sized down to 28x28 and that was spot on for me.
No more damp trousers for me too.
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.
