Okay but it remains to be seen
February 11, 2023

The order arrived later than expected and missed the Christmas morning surprise. The pants were too big and I now have to exchange. I hope the exchange goes well but I am concerned.

Men's adventure pants
January 11, 2023

The ordering process on the web site was straightforward, like most other online shoping experience. I'm only giving 4 stars because the tracking took a few days to appear with Canada Post and it had me stressed out if I was indeed going to receive my order, especialy after reading some of the negative reviews (which I only saw after I ordered the pants).
I ordered the pants on December 12th 2022 in the evening;
Order processed on the 13th;
Shipment details received by Canada Post on the 16th (sigh of relief);
Pants received early afternoon on December 23rd 2022.

Fantastic pants!
January 11, 2023

Love these pants! Very comfortable, very warm and easy to wear. I kept seeing the AD on FB and thought what the heck I'll give them a try. I was not disappointed. Great product.

Canada Post LOL
January 11, 2023

Canada Post is infamous for failure to deliver on time. Maybe try another option? Otherwise, transaction was great.

Good product, slow shipping
February 10, 2023

My husband loves his pants but they took over three weeks to arrive. I ordered them on the 4th of December and they did not arrive until a few days after Christmas.

Delivery took a long time. Was disappointed at how long we had to wait for pants to arrive.

Process to exchange and item
February 10, 2023

I have tried to get direction on how to exchange and item for something else - product did not fit well so would like to have the high-waist version. I finally received information on how to return but nothing on the exchange aspect of things. I have no idea whether the new item will come. It cost me $21 to return the original item and no guarantees of the exchange and might have to pay the $5 restocking fee. I have not been able to get a proper response from the company and have not been able to talk to a person. Even if the exchange comes through, I don't know whether it will fit.

Doesn't fit.
February 10, 2023

Delivery was a bit slow. I actually need to return the pants as they do not fit. My particular size is not available with you all. I ordered a 42 waist and probably need a 44. The next size offered is a 46. I know this will be much too large but may give it a try. Why do you not offer a 44 waist?

Slow to ship and update shipping
February 10, 2023

Seems like some of their pieces are made to order in China and shipped from China as well. In the age of Amazon 2 day, 3 weeks seems like a long time...

It was fine
January 11, 2023

Online purchase process worked great with Apple Pay. Deliver took longer than usual, but was to be expected with holidays and storms in northeast.

Thank you for your quick response
January 11, 2023

I am also very satisfied with the product. It's warm and it's great not only for mountain climbing, but also in various situations.

Thank you very much.

Men's pants much nicer than womens
January 11, 2023

The women's adventure pants have one less pocket and no reinforced knees. They also don't have the cute orange zippers that the men's do. Trust the size guide, the size numbers are not the same as most clothing. Exchange process has been easy enough so far.

Don't bother if you are in the UK
February 10, 2023

I'd not recommend ordering from the UK. Very long shipping times and if you get it wrong very expensive to return. Plenty of UK and Euro suppliers for similar stuff.
