Not that happy
March 24, 2023

I received my package it was too small. I sent an email. Was asked to send it back and pay for shipping. Then I realized I was to explain in my return whether so wanted a refund or exchange. Why I wondered when I had to explain all this in my return request. You do have computers don't you. The multiple emails I received approving my the return of purchase as info throughout. No simple here is you shipping and order info. Having it all on one page that say please print and attach and insert into package. That would be too simple after drying down town and pay 20 plus dollar and tracking to it arrival. I receive another email asking if I have receive my package. Is this my original package or my replacement package. Not sure which sums up Northbound gear.

Good quality and decent fit. Warm.
February 22, 2023

Overall happy. Took a few weeks to arrive. The waist fits a bit looser than the sizing. Nice that the waist is stretchy. The fabric of the pants themselves doesn't seem to have any stretch at all, but maybe I misread that in the ad.

Return customer and really like product. I do like the products, but the process to exchange for another size was a nightmare. The shipping to return the first item is more than I am willing to spend - half the cost of the item itself. Never got a satisfactory response to my request to exchange.

Great Pants
February 21, 2023

I love these pants so much I ordered another pair in a different colour. They didn't come with the amazing belt this time though so I think I need to order that separately.

Slow Deliveries are a real problem
March 23, 2023

I ordered pants for a trip my wife and I had to Patagonia and Antarctica 2 1/2 weeks before we left. Everything indicated we would get our pants in plenty of time for the trip. I followed up 3 days before leaving and there was no way to track out order. It said it was with Canada Post in Ontario, I am in BC. I sent and email and got an inadequate response. The delivery occurred after we left for South America, it took more than 3 weeks to deliver but the worst was the inability to track the package. Great product but don't count on their ability to get it to you in a timely manner.

Good thanks. Ordered a beanie. Good quality. Arrived after a bit of a delay, although being in the UK I'm not exactly next door. All as expected.

Purchase of pants
February 20, 2023

You advertised a discount code that didn't work and I had to reach out to get a different one, hence 4 stars instead of 5

Slow Slow shipping and tracking
March 22, 2023
Updated review

Placed an order mid-January, and received it a couple of days ago.
I really like the pants.
The jacket is unusable, before I could try it on the jacket, as I was taking it out of the bag the main zippers fell OFF. You are using poor-quality zippers.
I sent an email with pictures and a text with pictures.
I have not heard anything from NBG. I want to be reimbursed for the jacket.
Please send me a return shipping label.

Pants Are Perfect

Previous review

My spouse loves the pants! They are just what he was looking for to keep him comfortable while doing outdoor activities without bulky snow pants.

Ordering was easy, but I knew what I wanted and didn't need the pop-ups trying to get me to purchase more items.

Canada to remote Fiordland New Zealand
February 20, 2023

Its great to be able to select waist and leg sizes independently. The order, while dispatch, was delayed on one item, the communication was immediate and ongoing until dispatch. Tracking was accurate, and delivered on time. The "Adventure water resistant pants" look, feel and fit great. While its not cold enough here yet, as I write from my cabin aboard MV Breaksea Girl in Dusky Sound, an autumn blast from the southern ocean, is due. So i can see me swapping my summer shorts for my new Adventure pants.

Had trouble with promo code, but Kelly was a wonderful help!
Thank you.
Received pants, and they are definitely as advertised.
Very comfortable, warm, and I stayed dry!
Perfect to wear with my walking group.
The size guide was helpful. They are roomy, without being big.
Thanks!
