Designed in Canada and something about a conscience but no mention of where it’s made. Probably made in China and the sale prices are always displayed to make you think you’re getting a deal.

I just looked up the website. Looks pretty good. Contact info is Surrey, BC. But your pay in usd. Just stupid that is. If it was me I would phone the number or email them and make sure it is not coming from the states and you have to pay duty.

yes. i bought a pair of their waterproof pants last year. i was surprised when my credit card bill showed the $US amount. beware. i called the number and yes...foreign made. so on that front i thought it was a bit misleading. having said that, i wore them only once on a hiking/hunting trip and found them to be waterproof as advertised and sturdy in construction. I was happy with the way the performed. they fit well and i have no complaints.

Yah, what she says.
Lots of Chinese companies will get Canadian addresses and make it appear that they are "domestic".
For example the office hours are 9am-3pm EST. Who in BC would advertise EST time zone for "office hours".
Looks totally fake.

I actually ordered 2 pairs of these pants for my wife and I. They bead water pretty good, they have some stretch to them, and they have a warm fleece lining inside too. Great for watching my kid play soccer in the rain and it blocks out a bit of the wind as well. I haven't taken them out to the bush though so I can't comment on the durability out there. I must say I wasn't expecting much and was a little weary after I made the purchase but surprised how good the quality was. For $116 it seems a little steep. I feel like these are really worth around $80. Just my 2 cents

You can find most of those exact articles of clothing on Amazon with a different name for a quarter of the cost

I bought a pair about a year ago. If I recall, was about $120 cad to my door.

They are comfy and warm. Stitching is not the greatest, but I’ve seen worse from big brand named clothing companies.

what I do like is they come in 36” length, which is rare and they fit long.

id buy them again.
