Great pants … but I could have ordered about 2 sizes down from my usual pant size. A bit loose. Also, they truly are a high waist cut so if you are 5' like me be forewarned! Lol
Smooth ordering process. Dispatch and delivery took quite a while. Would help to be notified about who has been employed to deliver e.g. postal service, courier?
Ended up ordering wrong size, too big. Should'a, could'a didn't call to check I read sizing chart correctly...
OK, still not completely sure about sizing. We'll see when they get here!
Honesty these pants were way better than I expected coming from China. The fit is great and so far they hold up to moderate climbing and yard work. Overall I'm very happy
Ordering process is easy. Purchased a couple more pair of the women's water, windproof hiking pants. They're warm, comfortable (keep you dry) and easy to move in.
The added discount is always a bonus and the ordering process is straightforward and the site easy to navigate
Ordered the fleece lined waterproof trousers. They are absolutely amazing to wear. Extremely comfortable and so warm. Just started with Royal Mail so great choice.
I now have 2 prs of Northbound pants, fall/winter & summer explorers and love them both! They are super comfortable, fit perfectly and the rain just rolls off them! Will be ordering again!
Quality is so far great, although disappointing to see a company with seemingly high environmental standards now sourcing out to China like everyone else :(
I've ordered items from Switzerland and Sweden that have arrived in much less time than my order from Northbound. The tracking information is also inadequate.
I found these pants to be stretchy, and would recommend ordering a size smaller for waist if you're between sizes. I'm not carried away with the orange zippers, but the pants are comfy!
Very easy to order
Free shipping was good too
Love these pants...They are super warm in the coastal rain forests of Oregon and in daily life just around town.
These pants are great! I actually use them for horse riding in wet weather. They come in a short leg size, look smart, are hard wearing and very comfortable. Highly recommend.
Crazy shipping route! Extreme delay (not weather related). Biggest problem was the absolute lack of contact/communication! Terrible. Finally, not very happy with product.
I was kept updated on delivery often, the pants are awesome. It just needs to rain so I can try them out
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.
LOVE my new pants. So warm! Glitch with the post office, but Northbound contacted me to let me know they were aware, concerned and gave me an update. Great customer service!
This is the first time ordering from here and I have to say we were pleased with everything and it all fit perfectly. My husband can't wait for spring to use his pants riding on his new motorcycle!
Easy to negotiate site, sizing fully explained, instantly placed order, updated regularly through shipping process, received prior to eta, exceptional quality product.
Got the all weather pants and wore them in Arizona two days ago on a 3 hr mule ride. They were very comfortable, fit great (I'm a 12). I might be able to ski in them too!
