Love the Adventure pants as do the men I bought them for. Disappointed that they weren't here by Christmas. I didn't realize they were only designed in Canada and not made here which explains the wait time to receive them.
Good site expensive gear. Waited ages for them to come but they are decent when they arrived. Im sure I received more email after purchasing offering more discount on other stuff. Pity they didn't focus on getting the original order to me quicker before offering other..
The jacket is great, the only thing is I wish the women's jacket had similar pockets to the men's version.
I knocked off a star as I emailed their customer support in December and have still not heard anything back.
The pants are warm and comfortable to wear. The delivery of the pants was very slow, it took 5 weeks! And the hoodie from the same order took extra 4 weeks and came after I came back from my trip! Sizing: the regular is size is surprisingly long and the tall is realy tall, I had to sendi it back. Unfortunately the process of the return was very difficult to navigate on the website. I had to send it back to Canada for $19. With insurance it would have been $43! This is now 6 weeks ago and I have not heard back from the company nor did I get the exchange pants yet! Product is ok but they have to work on their communication, service and handling!
Pants do not fit and the cost to ship back to exchange is really expensive so I basically wasted hard earned $ on pants do not fit. If I had read the exchange policy prior to buying I would not have made the purchase. I already had a 36/30 that I have to use a belt with so I purchased 34/30 this time but the legs are too tight.
Ordering was easy but shipment was delayed and I did not get follow up information in a timely manner on the status of shipment. I need to return the item but I can't find the info online and I sent an email with a question and no one has gotten back to me.
Easy to navigate but too many questions about adding items, signing up for promos ect
Shipping took a long time and communication was poor. I got the shipment notification well after I received the package. I wasn't given any expected deliy information at any point during the process.
It is an offer to my great child for Christmas and he likes so much this gift. And of course I am happy
Very easy hope that my boy will appreciate this gift for Christmas
Northbound Gear's exchange process is not at all clear. I've followed the website directions as directed but it's completely ambiguous whether I'm receiving an exchange for a different size or a refund. I tried calling customer service to clarify and it took 10 days to get an emailed response, with no way to ask the questions I need to ask. Although the pants seem great, I will never order them again due to the customer service - both very slow and confusing.
I have not had a chance to wear them yet but they seem good. They took almost a month to arrive. The tracking of the delivery is lacking and they do not provide an estimated time for delivery. I was about call to see where they were when I got an alert they were to arrive 2 days later.
No replies to phone call or email, when asking about delayed shipment
Product is fine
My son loves his new pants. Shipping was stressful. 2 confirmed delivery dates by Canada post were missed with no word. When I last tracked the shipping number it said status unknown only to be delivered the next day. If you can wait, they are great. They are not made on Canada.
Arrived late didn't fit well want to return for refund. Even this process is hard.
Great products 4 th purchase but you are very slow at odercfulfment and shipping
Quick and easy to order, the pants arrived in good time, and the fit is perfect.
Because it was Christmas delivery season, we knew delivery would take longer than Northbound preferred. But we were kept informed of the progress, and when we were given a firm date, it arrived a day early! We are very pleased with the service and the product!
Very pleased with product but shopping was poor. Supposed to be here Dec 27 but not delivered until Jan. 12. Glad we did not have an early Jan adventure planned
Took 3 emails and a week to "approve" my return. Jacket and pants run big. Be careful in selecting size. Items are a high quality. Best for northern climes.
I ordered the wrong color pants for my husband, contacted the company, correct color arrived very quickly...thanks!
Easy to use website. Great clothing. I now own three pair of the Women's Adventure pants. Love them!
Easy site to maneuver. The Adventure waterproof pants are amazing. Super comfy and water just runs off.
Thanks for offering me a discount much appreciated in these hard times
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.
