Warm and flexible gloves
January 24, 2023

With multiple layers, I have a lot of flexibility with these gloves. The reason I bought them was to keep my finger tips warm when it's extremely cold outside. They passed the test.

Great trousers
October 26, 2023

Product really good. Didn't realise the delivery time is longer than normal but that's ok.
Not sure I like the amount of texts and emails received after I ordered.
Overall happy with product.

Not Sure
December 14, 2022

Haven't seen the items(pants) yet. I had them shipped to another address that I don't live at. They are wrapped and waiting for Christmas to be opened.

Great service and quality product.
September 21, 2023

Constant updates on the status of the purchase right unto delivery. Feels like a quality product but with the weather warming up I won't get a chance to use it until next winter.

Happy Customers

Shopping and communications are great, post this side of the pond (Royal Mail) is crap, but love the quality of your gear. Many thanks Dave & Shirley.

Shipped via USPS and their intermediary (?...I really don't know how usps works anymore other than they suck quite often) caused it to be really slow. Got my item though and do like it a lot so far.

Customer Service
February 12, 2023
Updated review

I tried calling your company and I sent 2 emails about an order I placed in Dec. And no one ever replied to me. Horrible customer service. You also have no good way of tracking the orders.

The coupon code I received to sign up with my email address didn't work. Kind of like a bait and switch

Great Return Policy
October 31, 2023

Very helpful assistance when trying to decide whether or not to buy some pants. Of importance, I was assured if they did not fit, I could return them less the re-stocking fee.

Long wait
January 25, 2023

I placed the order on November 23rd. It showed the product was in stock. I was expecting to get the product within 10 business days. The product arrived on December 22nd.
I really wanted them for my hunting trip leaving on December 7th.
Canadian design but the product had to go through Customs?

Good product, frustrating shipping experience
April 7, 2023

The pants I purchased seem good so far, but the shipping experience was frustrating. Shortly after purchase I received a notification that the product had shipped. Then a week or so later I was wondering where it was. Checked the tracking site and it said it hadn't left the facility. I then wondered if I had been scammed and contacted support.They said this is normal and it can take up to 6 weeks for delivery. WTF!?! I could have driven there (CA to TX) and got it faster. If the tracking link is worthless then let me know and also let me know it could be up to 6 weeks for delivery.

Great pants!
November 30, 2022

Good service as usual!
Ordering was simple, questions were answered quickly.
Mail was a little slower than expected, but it was Christmas, so I was lucky to get them.
Thank you!

Slow delivery and response
February 14, 2023

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!

Disappointed
December 27, 2023

Purchased ice grips they came with no label or size on the grips, very thin rubber which broke in to places on first wear which was on snow and ice. We were not refunded only given a store credit.
