The primary and most efficient way to reach our customer service team is via email. We do not currently offer phone support, but we ensure prompt and detailed responses to all email inquiries:
- Email: Send your inquiry to [email protected] with a clear subject line (e.g., “Order #12345 Tracking Issue,” “Size Question for Women’s Hiking Pants”) and include relevant details (order number, product name, photos if needed) to help us resolve your issue quickly.
- Social Media: For non-urgent inquiries or general questions, you can also message us via our official social media channels (e.g., Instagram, Facebook). We monitor these messages during business hours and will redirect complex issues (e.g., order problems) to email for more efficient resolution.
Note: For urgent matters (e.g., missing shipment within the estimated delivery window, defective Product affecting an upcoming trip), mark your email subject line with “URGENT” to prioritize your request.

- Complete a short customer satisfaction survey that may be sent to you after your issue is resolved.
- Leave a review on our Site or social media channels (we monitor these reviews and use them to address recurring issues).
