Why we made this

Warm weather calls for pants that breathe, protect, and move with you. We updated our Explorer design to feel as comfortable as possible. An adjustable waist lets you dial in a secure, flattering fit on the trail and in the city. They exist to make summer adventures comfortable and confident without giving up coverage.

Questions about tracking?

Where do you ship from?

We are a Canadian company based in Vancouver, but our manufacturing facilities are located globally, including in China and we ship items factory direct from these locations.

Why hasn’t my tracking updated?

It’s normal for tracking information to take time to update—most orders are visible in the tracker within 24-48 hours but in rare cases it may take up to a week before it appears in the system. Rest assured, your order is on its way!

How long does shipping take?

We ship factory direct. Typically, our shipping times range from 10-21 days, but there are some rare cases where it may take up to 4 weeks.

Why is my package delayed?

Your package has been shipped and is on the way, but sometimes packages may experience a delay in updates due to factors on the carrier’s end. This can happen occasionally with international shipments, customs processing, poor weather, or high-volume periods, like the holiday season.

My package was returned—what happens now?

If your package was returned, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Reach out to us at info@northboundgear.co with your order number and we will process a reshipment for you. Once it’s on the way again, we’ll send you the new tracking number.
