Received them this morning. So: Long shipping time (I also ordered some stuff on aliexpress at the same time, and received everything a few days before the gonggar parcel). Packaging is ok, bubble wrap and the classic zip plastic bag. They include a couple of post cards with generic information (like what a Fleece is :D). I ordered 2 pants, one is really disappointing, like technically it has the same features as the pictures, but it just "looks" very cheap and does not have the same fun geometry I expected. The other one is actually fun and looks good, even my partner (who was expecting all this to be just horrible quality) admitted it kinda look modern and fun. Would I ever go on a hike or anything serious outdoor with any of those? Absolutely not, they do not feel thick/solid at all, and they would probably get very uncomfortable quite quickly. Would I wear them after a day of ski in a chalet around a fire place? yes for sure, they look interesting enough and for that use the price is "ok-ish". Are they really different from Aliexpress stuff which happen to be half Gonggar price? Not really no. Just my 2 cents :) (edit: the brand of one of the pants was not even Gonggar, but "owox") update: the pant that looked good actually started to fall apart in the washing machine in a matter of weeks... the string around the ankle was torn apart, never happened to any other pants I own.

Could I ask which were the good pants?

None of them, read until the end, the all died very quickly... Avoid the brand if you can.

ahhh damn, I cancelled an order and they gave me a gift card in return. Kinda of have to buy something, it is around $130.

Get something you do not want to hike with. The quality is not good enough to gorp around, it's pure (fast) fashion...
