I left Shawn an explanation about your aggressive shopping cart follow up emails.
On 2/4 I submitted this email. "Just as an FYI. I've received 11 emails thanks to my 1 purchase from your site.
You guys are trying way too hard.
Once I receive my order I will be unsubscribing due to your overly aggressive email campaign.
Think about it."

Adventure water resistant pants
February 1, 2023

We placed our order on January 2nd and just received our order on January 30th. Not quite sure why it took a month to ship from BC to Alberta so just a word of advice to be patient! That being said, the product appearance and sizing is exactly as described so given the shipping time we are glad we do not need to go through an exchange process!

Great product, terrible Customer service

Updated review

Ordered a second pair of waterproof pants and shipping took almost 3 weeks. My phone calls were not returned and emails took a week or more to be answered: I will not be doing business with this company in the future,

I was surprised by how long it took for my order to arrive. It took 3 to 4 weeks which not expected when I placed the order.

Exactly what I was hoping for
January 31, 2023

Ordering was easy, it took a week longer than they said but did arrive, the adventure pants (winter version) are super comfortable! I am impressed with the softness, warmth, stretch, and fit. As long as they hold up I will purchase a pair of summer hiking pants.

One of the jackets I ordered does not fit the same as the other even though they are the same size. Upon further review, I missed a key point regarding the fit, it's unisex and they recommend that men order a larger size for a more relaxed fit.
I am a female, however I have a larger body frame and broad shoulders and I have always had difficulty wearing clothes designed for women.
Also, ordered the waist pack, however there seems to be a manufacturer's defect. The hole designed for headphone cables does not have access from the inside of the pack to actually get through to coming out of the hole. Issue has been reported to the company.

I ordered two pairs of insulated pants and really like them. They're surprisingly warm, even in -25C and colder. Highly recommended.

Great products for the great outdoors!

Really happy with both the jeans and hiking pants! The fit is fantastic and they seem really well made. The jeans are truly waterproof and the flexibility allows for maximum range of movement without binding, perfect for mountains hikes on cold days. Highly recommended.
