Be cautious about sizing
February 16, 2023

I ordered a pair of women's pants, size 10. The site claimed that it's clothing were true to size, but the pair I received were not even close. I've been informed that there is a size chart, so I urge you to find that before you order.
I decided to return them. Many of us are accustomed to easy returns, some free, but I found this return policy overly difficult. US customers, be aware that returning packages to Canada means that your package will go through customs, a delaying and expensive process.

I was extremely cautious about how I packed and addressed the package, and found out at the post office that anything going into Canada had to go through customs! Very expensive.

Hiking Pants
January 17, 2023

Ordered through the website after seeing an ad on Youtube. The pants look like I expected and can't wait to try them on a hike. Shipping was a little slow but I expected it since I ordered around the holidays.

Great pants
February 16, 2023

I ordered two pairs for my wife and although they took quite awhile to arrive, she loves them.
They fit her perfectly and most importantly keep her warm and dry.

Great service and nice pants
January 16, 2023
Updated review

Offered 10% discount code that could not be used. No place to put code, even made purchase from code link. When considering an added offer price flicked from $67 to $89 with each size selection.
I was refunded the difference without hassle or a fight. So nice to have a company jump in and fix an issue then contact me. I would buy these again, In fact I am waiting for my own size to come back in stock.

Slow customer services and delivery, quality products

Quality products let down by slow delivery and customer services.

Take money but don't deliver
December 25, 2022
Previous review

Why dont you respond to messages? What terrible service…where is my order ORDER #107974? When will it arrive?
Its a shame, and frankly a foolish approach, to make marketing spam a priority over customer service…happy to take my hard earned money, not happy to provide the products or service…
Id never treat my customers this way, they mean everything to any successful business

Long wait for delivery
January 16, 2023

Ordered the pants as Christmas gifts in November. Despite wording that the order would be fulfilled in 48 hours, for weeks and until the last moment it appeared the order hadn't been shipped. I did receive the order on December 21st, too late for our early family Christmas but the gifts were still appreciated when we we able to exchange in the new year.

Still not sure
February 15, 2023

I really like the pants but had to return or exchange them as I bought Long 12 and pants were really too long which does not happen often. I am looking forward to receiving my regular 12 pants to wear this winter

A few issues with suppliers but I can forgive that.
Fantastic gloves, I'm using these to commute on my motorcycle in the cold and they're brilliant. Northbound never disappoints.

Apologies for the late response. Fantastic jeans once again.
January 10, 2023
Previous review

I wear these through the winter as I commute on my motorcycle daily in all weathers. These jeans jeans are super warm and comfortable and offer fantastic protection from the cold with the added bonus of looking smart and presentable when I'm at work.
They have been rained on for about an hour at 50mph before now and held up extremely well (although I will admit I wear waterproofs over the top when it's possible). I honestly believe Northbound Gear could modify these jeans for the motorcycle market by adding protection and hold their own against the big brands.

Delivery is very quick and efficient and I was very surprised to receive an email shortly after ordering them with a thanks for the repeat business - now that is customer service!

Understandably my order was delayed over Christmas I suspect in Toronto. However, I was disappointed to find out that no one followed up with delayed packages, probably in customs. Mid January, I had to call and leave a message to complain that my order was ordered Dec 16 and no update was noted on delivery status since Dec 26th. No update was received, however order was finally delivered a couple days later.
