Their "sustainability" page states "By Winter 2021 we will eliminate all plastic packaging from our shipping processes and warehouses."

Well, it's winter, and they have not done this, as confirmed by their own customer support (they blame the pandemic, even though they made the timeline during the pandemic, as they do as their catch-all excuse with any shipping issues).

On top of that 95% of their products are not sustainable, and their only "made in Canada" item was a sweater rebrand that was actually made by a company called Jerico. Available at Jerico for $82, Northbound Gear sells it for $149. Northbound Gear has since removed this product (or had it removed from them by Jerico?), and replaced with with Made in Bangladesh Stanley/Stella Drummer rebrands.

Northbound Gear is a dropshipper, and they are about as environmentally friendly as you might expect a dropshipper to be. That is, not at all.

If purchasing sustainable clothing is something that matters to you, look elsewhere. The 2 similar images at the bottom show how their sustainability plan has changed.
