Rewards Program Terms and Conditions
Last updated January 1st, 2020
Opting-in to Moosejaw Rewards:
All users must accept these terms and conditions and create an account with Moosejaw to opt-in to the program and earn, accrue, retain and redeem Moosejaw Reward Dollars (MJ$). The program is FREE to join and membership is ongoing until or unless the user requests to be removed or is removed due to abuse of the program. Users can opt-in to the program while checking out on Moosejaw.com or at one of our stores or at any time within 30 days of purchase to accrue the MJ$ earned on that purchase. Once opted-in to the program, MJ$ will earn and accrue for redemption as described below until the MJ$ expire or the user leaves the program.
All information collected and used to facilitate the Moosejaw Rewards program is directly related to the program's ability to provide value to the customer. A customer opting-in to the Moosejaw Rewards program is a separate action from establishing a user profile as a result of making a purchase.
The program opt-in requirement was added on August 6th, 2019. Existing program members prior to that date must still formally opt-in and accept the terms and conditions to continue to retain, earn and redeem MJ$. Pre-existing program members that fail to opt-in prior to June 28, 2020 will be removed from the program, and any unused MJ$ will be voided. We really, really don't want to that to happen, so please opt-in or we'll feel terrible.
Leaving Moosejaw Rewards Program:
You may choose to leave the Moosejaw Rewards program at any time by logging in and clicking on the “Opt out Rewards Program” link within the My Account Summary page, Email, calling 877-MOOSEJAW (877-666-7352) or in-store with help from our employees. If you leave the rewards program, any unused MJ$ will be voided upon completion of your request.
Earning MJ$:
All items we sell are eligible with the exception of gift cards or other items specifically noted. Full-priced items earn 10% back while discounted items earn 2.5%. "Discounted items" includes items on sale or discounted via coupon code or use of MJ$. You do not earn MJ$ for shipping or tax charges, only from the item value. MJ$ expire two years after earning and are redeemed on a first-in, first out basis (in other words, we always use your oldest MJ$ that are closest to expiration).
Checking & Redeeming MJ$:
On Moosejaw.com, just sign-in on any page to see your available balance. Once signed in, you will see your available MJ$ and maximum that can be redeemed in the payment section of the checkout process. In stores, provide the email address attached to your account to learn your balance and apply to your purchase. We will also send you a monthly email that details your balance and other account activity. This is a transactional email that you will receive even if you are not subscribed to our marketing emails.
Bonus Rewards Promotions:
Every so often, we'll have special offers where you can earn bonus MJ$, like an additional 10%, 20% or 40% back. So if we are running a 50% back special offer, and you buy a regular-priced item for $100.00, you will receive MJ$10.00 in base points, and a bonus of MJ$40. These special offers may have a cap on how many bonus MJ$ you earn during the promotion, but you will always earn the base Reward Dollars. Make sure to check us out on our social channels for other ways to win some extra MJ$!
MJ$ on Gift Cards:
You don't get earn MJ$ when you buy a gift card, but you do get MJ$ when you spend a gift card. Sorry gift givers. You're welcome gift receivers.
Product Returns and MJ$:
If you return an item, we deduct the MJ$ earned on that item from your balance. If you used the MJ$ and your balance is less than deduction, then your refund is reduced by the difference.
Program Abuse:
The intent of the program is to provide our loyal customers with a way to buy great gear for less. Moosejaw reserves the right to remove any user from the program and zero out their MJ$ balance if Moosejaw determines that the user is abusing the program by buying for resale, attempting to game the program or any other reason at Moosejaw's sole discretion.
Are you Sure?
Our Rewards Program is completely FREE and easy to use.
By opting out, you forfeit all the Moosejaw Rewards Dollars your currently have in your account, which is basically throwing away free money. What would your grandmother say about that? If you're 100% sure, please click "OptOut" below.
Earn 10% back on all full-priced purchases on Moosejaw.com or at our shops (2.5% for discounted items).
The program is FREE. Just register and join during the checkout process. So Easy.
After joining the program, you'll receive your MJ$ as soon as your order ships. Then the next time you shop at Moosejaw, you can redeem those MJ$ to get awesome gear for way less.

Special order items take longer to ship
We want to make extra-sure you realize that you've added a special order item to your cart. These items take a little longer to get to you because we have to order from the manufacturer first. The "Est. Ship Date" is the date we expect items to leave our warehouse... so add your chosen shipping speed to see when it will show up at your door.

Fits a size too smallComfy and light. I like the waist adjustment. But they are small - every other pair of pants/short I own is a medium or 32 waist (including other BD shorts). I had to ship the mediums back - couldn't even get them buttoned. Larges fit ok though.

Perfect fitI have washed these shorts almost twice a week every week since i’ve bought them. Definitely not good for the DWR coating, but you can easily retreat them. I can’t stop wearing them!
The fit is perfect and the internal “belt” is so useful for finding that perfect level of snug you want. Super breathable and water resistant material, great fit, and the stretch and movement with these is far superior to other hiking shorts. By far my new favorite pair of shorts

Sizing is terribleJust got my shipment! I was really excited about these shorts. I love the material.
However, I have a 32 inch waist, so it made sense to order a medium (31.5-34). Wrong. I can barely button them.

Love the stretch and fabric feel but...I bought these shorts at the start of the summer. The fabric feels great, dries fast, and and stretches perfectly with my body.
My two issues are:
1. The fabric over the zipper does not stay flat. It kind of looks like my fly is open all the time unless you look more closely.
2. I wear a utility tool clipped to my belt loop when going around town. It has not done any damage to my pants/shorts except for these ones. After wearing them for a day with the tool attached the fabric got pilly with small fibers sticking out. I would expect more durability from climbing gear.

Literally the best shorts I've ever ownedSuper light, breathable, durable, deep pockets, and a perfectly low-key belt system.
Used to have Outdoor Research Ferrosi shorts, but by the end of the day they'd stretch literally over an inch at the waste, making a belt mandatory.
Also used to try North Face Paramount shorts, but the trim was too large and the built-in belt-buckle just looks... bad.
I'm stoked to have finally found the Valley Shorts. These things are a super trim fit with breathable, stretchy fabric that lets you move in all ways. I absolutely love the tightening system, which lets you sinch them tighter as is needed while being ultra minimal.
The tightening system plus trim fit makes these things look killer, all with no need for a belt. Buy them, they're amazing.

My new favorite shorts!Medium fits me great; 5'10" 155, 31" waist. Durable material seems to holding up to abuse. Need to pick up another pair.

Bad sizing.Not quite sure how the sizing can be so bad with these. I'm a small across the board with all the other BD pants/shorts. Ordered a small in these and cannot even button them, tried a medium and they feel about 3 sizes too big.
