Pants review
I don’t have an overall my explorer water resistant summer pants as I have not worn them yet since it’s still winter.

Hi Dalton, totally understandable! Winter isn’t exactly the best time to test out summer pants. Whenever you get the chance to wear them, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Stay warm!

Great product!
Purchased two pair of the waterproof pants. They're extremely comfortable! The combination of stretch fabric and soft felt lining make them ideal hiking pants! Large pockets are also felt lined to protect your phone or other items. Stretch waistband allows for tucking a shirt or sweater in on cold days. They've so far been excellent pants for my daily hikes - keeping me warm and DRY on Vancouver Islands wet coast!

Must Haves
So I purchased 2 pr of the black explorer pants this past winter for my husbabd to pack for our 29 day tour to Ireland and Scotland. Other than trying on for fit my husband did not wear them until we set off. Well then he raved about them . Despite packing a pr Columbia pants as well he ended up just going between the 2 pr of NBG. Although they were lightweight he found they protected him against the wind. They were easily spot cleaned and dried quickly when laundered. He made use of tge many zippered pockets. He always looked smart yet comfortable.

Explorer Water Resistant Pants
Finally had a chance to wear my new pants on our vacation. They are comfortable and the sizing is perfect. Great walking pant and I have had several comments about how good they look. The zippered pockets work really well. Would buy again.


My three seasons goto pants
This my third pair of "Explorer" Summer pants (blue) which I received just now. I am 5'8" (1.75 m) and weight 180 lb (82 kgs). The size 36" / 30" fits me perfectly. It is very comfortable, not too tight, not too loose and very flexible. I like the touch of the material. Wear these three pairs in alternate all the time and almost all year round here in BC; with boxer brief in the summer, light tights late spring/early fall and heavy tights early spring/late fall (in winter, I wear the "Adventure" pants). I do highly recommend these Explorer Summer Pants and the excellent service received from NorthboundGear.
