Men’s Canada Goose Expedition Parka

Until 2021, the company believed real fur is the best choice if you want to protect yourself against the elements in the coldest places on Earth. For the environment, it may be a better option than fake fur, which is not biodegradable. Just like the company making UGG boots, Canada Goose claims to be committed to the responsible use and ethical sourcing of all animal materials in their products. “I’m 6’2, 255 with a large chest, 44in, small gut and 32” thighs. It bulkey as expected, but not restrictive.

We had a closetful of parkas, including full-length down ones with coyote fur-lined hoods. If I lived up north or in the praries again, I would absolutely buy one for basic practical comfort and survival, for which they would be a godsend. You can lose flesh on your cheeks and the snow is blinding, but ice crusts build with a scarf- the fur would have an actual use in that kind of weather canada goose outlet unique to the west. Yet when I lived in Alberta, I never saw people wear anything so fine, it was Mark’s Work Wearhouse, and North Face if you were rich. I never saw such brazen displays of wealth and branding when I lived in the west, it truly seems to be a fallacy of the personally indulgent QC and ONT. I bought my Canada Goose coat in the 1990s and have been extremely pleased with it.

When the weather’s warm, say 20F, all I need is one thermal layer underneath, and I will frequently unzip the parka all the way open and use only a pair of liner gloves. I purchased this coat because I like being outdoors in winter, whether it be walking around the city or snow-shoeing in the woods. The jacket felt great at first, but when the temperature went below -10C and became windy, as if often does in Quebec, I felt cold spots on my arms. Then I noticed that the down fill was thin from the biceps to the crux of the arms.

I think that statement rings true for the city oriented coats. I bought a CG Resolute parka about 6 years ago for working outside on winter nights. First off, I bought my goose three years ago and have never looked back. I have been walking in minus 18 c and sweating! However, if you own a car, don’t bother, get a car coat. This coat is only for walking outside or being outside for long or med periods of time.

At one time it was easy to find a large selection of canadian made down filled coats at reasonable prices, that didn’t turn you into a logo-sporting billboard. But then the economy changed and those coats mostly disappeared, replaced by cheap coats suited for no place colder than chicago or new york canada goose outlet or toronto. The worst part is that most people don’t seem to realize how ill-equipped they are for serious cold, which feeds into the perpetual whining we hear about how cold it is out, even when it isn’t really that cold. I’m not against the price tag for a warm, nice-looking, made in Canada coat.

Canada goose are generally considered laughable by everyone who doesn’t own one. Everyone has one which makes me think they are a trend that will fad out. Have had a Canada Goose parka for 20 years+, and Woods before that, in temperatures that are often below -40 w/o windchill. My CG has kept me warm for 3+ hours at -43 with 30 km/hr wind, or while I am climbing around on large metal satellite dish mounts. I am on my third now, but as mentioned I use them to WORK outside. I downhill ski in the winter and anyone who does that any length of time eventually acquires a good ski jacket (nothing like being stuck on a lift at -15C with a good wind blowing down the hill!).
