More of our IS IT WORTH IT Series, here: • Is It Worth It? Men's ...
00:00 Introduction
03:16 So I'm wearing here the Canada Goose Emory slim fit parka jacket with a coyote trim. In terms of colors, they are less flashy than Moncler and I chose an olive green. The first thing that distinguishes the jacket visually from the Moncler one is the genuine coyote fur trim. Canada Goose claims that it has a functional purpose in the sense that it creates more turbulent air around your face thus preventing frostbite more than a jacket without the trim.
03:59 The next thing that stands out is the material. It is matte and it's a lot thicker than the Moncler jacket. Also and I find it quite unpleasant, it makes a lot of noise when you walk, just listen! The material is made out of 85 percent polyester and 15 percent cotton, it's water-resistant, durable, and hard-wearing, as well as wind resistant. It's not quite gore-tex membrane material but it's definitely thick and much stiffer than what you get from Moncler.
04:46 The other difference to a Moncler Jackets are the ribbed cuffs which I find quite useful because they prevent cold air from coming in. The jacket features an abundance of pockets, has lots of Zamak metal snap buttons that are plastic covered. Of course, all branded. The zipper is an injection molded plastic from YKK, ironically it's the same one used at the Moncler Jackets. For some reason though, I find it a lot harder to close.
05:25 Even though the brand is called Canada Goose, the actual filling of this jacket consists of duck down feathers which are inferior to goose down. So what's the difference between goose down and duck down? Well, goose down comes in larger clusters, usually traps the air better which means you get a higher fill power and more insulating with a goose than a duck. Because this jacket uses duck down, it's not surprising that there's a fill power of 625. Again, low-end fill power would be 300, high-end fill power would
be 900. So this jacket sits right somewhere in the middle.
06:21 Unlike Moncler, Canada goose has a warmth grading method which is called TEI or thermal experience index. That will help you to find a jacket that is best suited for your needs and your environment and the level of coolness you experience. Also, if you compare the jackets visually, it's a lot less puffy and you don't look like a Michelin Man in a garbage bag, unlike with the Moncler jacket.
07:13 So now the big question, is the Canada Goose Emory jacket worth $995? Well, let's look at the pros and cons. The construction of the Canada Goose jacket seems more rugged and sturdy. Frankly, I don't wear these jackets enough to really figure out the difference because when I go skiing, I layer up because that allows me to get exactly the right heat level for the temperature outside. This arctic tech fabric is definitely more sturdy than the nylon one from Moncler and I think over time, it will wear better.
07:47 Unlike Moncler, Canada Goose comes with a lifetime warranty, however, that sounds better than it actually is because it's just a warranty against manufacturing defects
It's definitely a quality parka, it has real fur trim, it has a fill power of 625 and it keeps you warm and is well thought through.
At the same time, the jacket also has a bunch of downsides. One big one for me is the sound it creates and the noise it makes when I walk, I find it simply unpleasant.
08:15 Secondly, it's heavier than the Moncler jacket which is not so great in my opinion but more importantly, it's simply too stiff for my tastes
Also, keep in mind that you can find warmer jackets with a higher fill power for about half the price of this Canada Goose.
08:32 Overall it's pretty expensive even though it's twenty dollars less expensive than the Moncler jacket but at the end of the day, I don't find any of those jackets really stylish because this one is very shiny and puffy, this one is less puffy but it's so stiff and just makes me feel like a very unstylish person.
So if you really care for style go with a heavy overcoat that will keep you just as warm in the city at the same time you will look a lot better.
So what are good alternative brands would you recommend?

0:36 oh god. I love this guy 😂
@Tom Hudson The latest in anti-rape technology
It looks soooo stupid
lol every English teen looks like this
Mftr's have been making good/better/best many yrs. You drive your Suburban and I will drive my VW. We both arrive to slopes same time. Both are usually equally happy. History proves there are sufficient amount of jacket buyers to maintain production. Some w choose to spend $1,000 while many of us wont (while we secretly roll our eyes). But....I love me some pretty women. If I can struggle to pay for this jacket, an expensive car, I can lead the pretty woman to my short term trap. Once she learns I spent a lot for these two items but don't have the money to wine and dine like she expected, she will be gone fairly quick. Next.....
Remind me of Kenny from South Park 😂
As a Canadian I can assure you that after one time trying to zip a metal zipper at -40 with bare hands and you'll wish for a plastic one.
Why are you not wearing gloves at -40?
Just put a fabric or plastic zipper ring on it.
@@carawestgate 😵 such drama 🤔😅
is it noisy when you move?
@@louiebili17yearsagoedited85 I suspect you - and the people upvoting you - have never been anywhere colder than Florida or you'd not have needed to ask that question. Here's a simple test for you. First put on a nice thick pair of deerskin mittens or hockey gloves or whatever you can find like that. Then try zipping up your jacket. Don't forget to let us know how it went.
Why am I watching this I live in Miami lol
Rey Marasigan Ha! Ha!
I live in Arizona and I'm watching this just fascinated by this jacket
Same. I live in Texas.
You can start a new fashion statement.
Having something lighter like a down filled hoody from arcyterx might be something you enjoy. Very versatile and warm. Super cozy.
I bought one 25 years ago for cheaper for work and I still have it. So you tell me if it is not an investment. It is a one time buy though it is a fashion statement now.
Live in a country where it's regularly -10 to -20, lowest -25 in my time here. The Goose is warm, and plastic zipper isn't an issue. 9 years old and still going strong
Canada Goose jackets are a status symbol.
*wears it and takes the bus
Poor people jacket
Mike Solo you probably wear champion or a south face jacket
Exactly lol, people spend a fortune on jackets they can’t affoard, just to look like someone who can lol, very dumb indeed!
Not a cheap jacket i paid £700 for mine people can stunt with the jacket where ever they want if someone gets the bus with it they properly don't drive don't judge someone that gets the bus
Well it’s pretty common for many Europeans and Canadians to take public transport.
No jacket worth $1.000 ,except a life jacket when you are about to drown
As someone who lives in the Canadian Arctic where it hits -40C/-40F I disagree! ;)
@@robertsexton6101 I did not say you do not need a warm jacket for that kind of weather,I just said that asking price is a rip off...logic please..
I disagree you just never used one. I work in yukon i wear a canada goose expedition every day at work outside and its price just right imo. If you look at other good parka they are all priced in that range and offer less versatility and value. My expedition parka is the best because its never to warm but never cold either Sweat is death
@BBD Design their arctic parkas for use in the south pole are worth it.
Maybe a Full Metal Jacket....yer welkum
I wore the Goose in the 80s and 90s. It was a must in my field kit. Once stuck in a hostile climate and country this coat absolutely save my life. A $275.00 CDN ordered back in the day but worth every penny. Hats of to the Old Man.
that was back when they were made with 100% white goose / duck down there not the same anymore
is it just me or does this guy look like an older G-eazy?
The official coat of Manhattan.
or any major north eastern city
@@icantfeelshitatall6285 yeah, I live in Boston metro area and I see dozens of Canada goose jackets every day. They look warm but very stiff. I'll stick with my wool overcoat.
LoL
So TRUE
And Chicago 🙄
Yep, used to be north face, until every Chinese person in Manhattan started wearing them lol
I have had a snow goose of Canada coat for twenty-five years. Worth every penny.
"...Michelin man wearing a garbage bag..." 😂 I enjoyed that one!👌
I hear they're very warm, but ugh, where I live in New York, it seems like everyone is wearing one and flashing that arm patch everywhere. Manhattanite couples walk around wearing the exact same jacket. I got tired of seeing it right away. So it loses points for originality.
fountainhead same thing in the Philly area, even people riding the bus have them with their Beats headphones. Could've bought a used car instead.🤔
For sure New York. Another demographic is fraternities. See them swarming in flocks wearing the same jacket.
thats because it works :D, i don't have to layer up everytime i go out, a simple hoodie with CG parka and thats all i need to survival 5f-40f. if you buy for the utility of it instead of popularity thn who cares how many other ppl wears them.
kai lu I keep a similar coat in NYC for this reason, I can be very warm in a park or on the street and then check it at an office, restaurant, or museum. This way I have only one thing to keep up with.
@@crawfordkmcdonald7313 yeah good thing u mention that, less thing to keep track of, its hilarious to see others im with layering up in resturants everytime we go out and all i have to do is put on my CG parka.
It's really great to hear a youtuber actually giving an unbiased review and not just jumping on the band wagon like most others do in fear of having an unpopular opinion.
Grey Goose and Canada Goose are my favorite gooses. Both keeps me warm!
People: why y’all goose jackets so expensive?
Canada Goose: Yes.
Spy See Sauce that’s so true man 😂😂😂my dad goes into the moncler shop with me and we were looking at one for €3,000 it was a brand new one or sum and my dad goes the price for that is crazy how come and the guy goes yes 😂
To me the moncler jacket looked really bad compared to the goose one
Moncler looks better imo
Just not that black one
That black shiny moncler is terrible...
Steven Watson it’s rlly nice if youre wearing with streetwear
Aram Rajabpour yeah but moncler isnt as versitile as cg. CG u can chuck on a tracksuit and still look great moncler is hard to match to ur garms. I see what your saying tho
Love how honest he is with the reviews
Honesty based on absolutely no understanding of cold weather living
I live in Nunavut in Canada. I’m German and we moved here for 3 years, because of my dads work. Next year we’re going back, but anyway... This jacked literally saved the life of my family once. It’s -50C here at some point and we were in the car, driving until suddenly, a tire exploded and we got strandet. I was the only one of my family to be able to get out oft the car and change the tire, because every other one was almost instantly freezing. I changed the tire and we drove home. My parents never again complained that I’ve spend 1000CAD on a jacked. They’ve one now too. I love this jacked. It’s super warm.
r/thathappened
Want to buy them for $250?
R C well that’s a lie because it says that Canada gooses only protect up to -30 and if you speak English even if you can’t from Germany how can’t you spell jacket or of 🤦🏻♂️
Liam Ayres yeah no. Canada goose makes the warmest jacket in the world the snow mantra but even there lower models are extremely warm
@@aufwiedersehen9348 Canada Goose makes coats for northern expeditions. I( think they know more then you do.
Definitely worth it. This is my 8th year with my goose jacket and still keeps me super warm during the cold winters. Amazingly the quality is top notch. Most of my other winter jackets only last 2-4yrs before loosing its warmth. High quality and looks so good. Definitely worth it. I can see my goose jacket lasting another 8yrs.
they hurt animals to make their jackets tho
@@Mysterious2887 quality costs. I want an animal to die if I'm spending over £1200
@@dehydratedvital but I would like it done in a humane way
May I know how often do you wash them. Seeing it lasted you 8 years
. Thank you.
@@catherinel9624 Probabaly never lol
I got my -50 rated parka at army surplus for $50.
Maybe you can attach a nicely designed round patch that reads, "I saved $1,000"?
I bet it looks swill.
@Sirthom: you're spot on. No need to line the pockets of fashion designers. If it was good enough for the army it's usually good enough for civvy street.
i have an used artic parka, the price was 80 bucks and its was enough for austria and central Hungary :)
Because those ratings are not independently veryfied they don't mean anything. What actually matters in terms of insulation is the total down volume which is calculated by mutiplying the fillpower of the down contained with the total amount of down contained (total down weight). And if you look at the price of down, the down in a Moncler jacket alone is worth more than 3 times as much as the total cost of your jacket. Therefore it is mathematically impossible that your jacket is even remotely close to the insulation power of a Moncler or Canada Goose jacket.
A fair and unbiased overview, excellent work Raphael!
I tried this jacket on in a Scheels and I was impressed. Though I've never bought even a 200$ jacket, so my being impressed may be someone else's meh. But I found the chest pockets to be cozy and I liked the materials all around the jacket. Plus it fit me like a glove. A few weeks and I'm going to get it. Thank you for the review Gent
Great video! Thank you so much. 😁👍🏻 I’m deciding on which brand to buy this winter and this was an awesome tip.
"really cold Canadian climate" * shows a picture of Toronto *
Yea a bit of an oversight :P

Overlord Kilo it’s cold here bro
@@PapaJenkinz hahahahaha
It feels like -35 with wind chill in Toronto
Dude it’s pretty cold at the moment
Bought my Canada goose a couple of years ago and I still like it a lot. Thought I was smart and ordered it online but it was taken by costums so had to pay way more than 1000dollars 😒 still the best winterjacket I have had
man you are the best, thanks we love ur detailed clips!!
I bought one of them, l real like the jacket , it keeps me warm especially with extreme cold.
A Michelin Man in a garbage bag! I wonder when Raphael starts his new job with Moncler?
It's an accurate assessment! ;-)
I'm not sure, Raphael's review of Moncler was very fair, with undertones of 'not entirely worth it' if I remember correctly
i rather end up like Jack Nicholson in The Shining with the same expession than be seen in that ridiculous Moncler coat. i feel shame for the person unfortunate enough to wear one. the Canada Gose jacket isnt that bad. but it should be made from natural materials like wool.
I laughed out loud at that one. Perfect description!
I pick up Moncler one at the airport. One with clear look. The one in video is classic one. I won't recommended that one.
Like many luxury brands you’re paying for the name.
True thats why military surplus is cheap and it's gets the job done
You’re not paying for the name with Canada Goose you’re paying for quality, do your research
Richard Harris Did you not watch the video? A cheap zip, stiff and filled with duck down rather than goose. And I was talking about luxury brands in general.
I feel like goose is dying already like the yeezys did coz if everyone has it then it drops out of fashion.
Ammi Nuggits Canada Goose will never go out of fashion, not a lot of people can afford Canada Goose and the quality is built to last
They are worth it if you live where I do. My wife went to work this morning and it was -51
Disgusting i cant belive how people live like this 😄
Where do you live?
@@luckystrike656 Sudbury Ontario. The -51 was with the windchill factor.
@@ruskisall maybe the living of Canada is better then the states by a long shot .
I own 2, one Expedition, and one Snow Mantra. I live in Minnesota, and there is no other coat I would wear if the temperature is going to go below -20 F or more. The Snow Mantra is bulky but if you have to plow snow you are not worrying too much about your image. People worried about their good looks are not going to venture out much when the temperature will freeze your skin in mere minutes.
All of that said, I never experienced a problem with my zipper on either coat. In fact the only problem I had with either, was the placement of a velcro tab on the storm flap on the Snow Mantra. It rubs the nylon cuff while fastening the zipper, and eventually it pulls loops off thread out of the cuff. Canada Goose did replace the cuffs free of charge, but the same is starting to happen again. If I again return the coat I will recommend moving the velcro tabs where this is not an issue.
". . . and the zipper really sucks!" Honesty. It's one of the many reasons we're tapping in. Cheers!
Complete and utter nonsense. These zippers are indestructible, good ones. If you cannot even handle those large zippers, go back to primary school!! I never, ever had ANY problems closing them - from the start. How clumsy must one be to NOT be able to handle this??!!!??
The way this guy talks,good job!
My CG zipper is perfect, so easy to use. None of my family ever have problems with any zippers. We all love our CG because it’s so warm, so worth it. I always wear only a shirt inside the jacket during the winter and it keeps me warm.
Love this channel. It has the perfect balance of real class and accessibility. Not pretentious at all, super well informed and honest. Brilliant.
"not pretentious at all" ... probably because he is
German, he is "down to earth".
Greetings from Finland; great video as always, thanks! I recently bought a black TEI4 rated Canada Goose jacket and have been loving it. I wear it over my suit and it looks good, unlike a Moncler which is way more casual. Today it was -20c during the day and it kept me warm; way better than my old North Face Summit series jacket.
At this moment, this is such a great film!: D
Best winter wear I've got is my 1881 full length ski-coat. Picked it up in Italy a few years ago at a knock-down price and it's amazing: lined with real feathers similar to these you're reviewing.
Just two weeks ago I bought Canada Goose Jacket. I am not rich person by any means I am student at the moment, but for years I’ve been wanted good quality winter jacket. I looked around to spent up to 300 or 400£ for good jacket I still couldn’t find anything that would keep me warm and look stylish at the same time. I bought cheap one three years ago just to wear it in cold days so I don’t freeze but never really got the job done. When I bought the Canada Goose I thought I’m gonna regret spending 895£ for a bloody jacket is way to expansive, (we spent over 1000£ for iPhones every 2 years), but let me tell you after wearing those days which has been cold here in London I absolutely did not regret it one bit. I had to work some extra hours to pay for it but is worth it, is not something that you buy every year or even every two years. I have lifetime warranty for it if any manufacturing defect come up and they will fix it for free, it keep you so warm but it doesn’t make you sweat, it’s water proof and I will keep it for good few years. If you have the money buy it you not gonna regret it. So looking forward to the winter this year and staying warm. Each one for themselves, in the end of the day we spending our own money, I like products that is worth paying for, even if you pay 2-3 or 4 times more than you expected sometimes.
I own a Canada goose jacket and actually live in province in Canada where it's ridiculously cold. It's definitely warm when it's -30 °C outside, but there are cheaper jackets that are just as warm for sure. I find that my $150 boxing day special Tommy Hilfiger down jacket is pretty well just as warm, and for a fraction of the cost. And the zipper does such for sure!!!!!
I watched this, and I will never need a down jacket.....I live in South Texas....
:-) I live in Vienna. from time to time we do have cold weather, but the climate change pays it's dues and most of the time I don't need a very warm jacket PLUS I am female. and still I watched this one! (would rather buy a solid mountain gear instead of a jacket 'edited' for urban people. that way I can use it both ways. but again - really seldom it's really that cold)
Got to have to go to cold weather sometime in your life. But don't buy this just get full gain leather jacket with you.
@@campkira Oh, we've been on a moors of Scotland, the bogs of Ireland in the midst of winter....But we layered and wore Trinity caps, and Barbour waxed jackets
Kerry Thomas what about places like dallas and austin? what do ppl wear when its cold?
@@ntran04299 We lived in Ft. Worth when I was in grad school, I wore a wool overcoat.
When you first step outside with a parka on you can still feel the cold, however when you start moving than you will quickly warm up and stay warm. More feathers could be too warm.
I just stuffed a dead goose in my jacket, gotta keep it real.
Lol
that's cruel and inefficient. use a live one!
Was the goose canadian?
@@keimo2250 I'm not sure, he didn't have ID on him.
John Did you ask before you killed it ?
This parka serves a niche roll for extreme cold and durability. The plastic zippers are to prevent your hands from freezing like they would with a metal one. I agree this jacket is not for everyone but if you live in very cold climates i would recommend it
@Andrew P, I completely do agree with Your statement, its a good garment for Scandinavian regions and Northern Part of Russia but I wouldn't wear it while driving
Paul The Scandinavian yes sir! My Black Chiliwak Bomber from Canada Goose keeps my balls from freezing when I’m out and about in the very cold, I live in Canada.
@@paulthescandinavian4992 Nobody in Russia use this garbage - BASK that is what is suitable for harsh conditions.
I love this channel and I don’t understand how Alpha M and Real Men Real Style have over a million subscribers and Gentleman’s Gazette only nearly had 500,000. This channel is for men and gentlemen and I would say that the others are you boys. Apart from that, great video 👍
They started before we did and they attract a different audience. With your support, we get there too :)
Gentleman's Gazette First of all, thank you for replying. I see your point and I will definitely support your channel as it’s so helpful for people (like myself) who love dressing up. Thank you
They attract young audiences. This channel is not.
Sartorial talks, love both
Gentleman's gazette is more niche, without diversifying their content more they aren't going to get as big as the other two. Alpha M targets the largest net. RMRS is somewhere in the middle.
Awesome video! I ordered a Crofton Down Vest. This will be my first Canada Goose piece. I can’t wait to receive it.
I have a Canada Goose, allow me to keep this really simple for all who can’t decide. It’s really really really warm, sturdy, and stylish. Worth the money, especially if you hate the cold and winter like I do.
Love this series !
Love you too
I go to a very high end gym and a good rule of thumb is that every brand that people there start wearing all of a sudden is not worth its price.
But CG been popping at least 10years now. Is your gym in 2011?
So any brand well off people wear isn’t worth it? You go there, i guess everything you wear counts too
Bought Canada Goose's Chateau parka when I moved to Chicago and was especially thankful for my parka when we had a week-long stretch of temps in the single digits, not including windchill. Canada Goose is certainly expensive, but it's an investment that will last you years provide you treat it well.
I am based in England and also have a disability of the spine which means I feel the cold really badly. A friend recommended this brand to me and sent me a discount site link so I paid much less for mine than retail (yes it’s legit I bought out of season). Mine has literally kept me comfortable in some very cold days and harsh frosts. I have the longer parka and I wouldn’t have paid full price for it simply because I can’t justify spending the regular $900 price tag. Although I am so happy I got it because it is so warm and comfortable.
While it was pricey, it is incredibly comfortable and warm. I'm glad I bought my CG.
Are they a true fit in size? I’m a men’s medium.
Jacket is very well worth it! I love mine and I think if you live in a cold climate buy one good jacket instead of a new one every year...
Thank you sir for the great review 🙏🙏 I’m happy with my Hollister ($129 ish and I bought @ discount, which is $50) .. the fill is recycled polyester fibers and keep me warm enough on a -10 night ☺️☺️
I have two Canada Goose jackets and I love them! Worth every penny!
85% Polyester?? I'll pass.
Same
Still Polyester is just cheap and makes people itch.
Cost cutting for 1000€- nice one.
@S D often, perhaps. But that doesn't justify the price tag. Keep your plastic coat lads.
@S D Thank you for enlightening me! Still doesn't change the fact its plastic.
@@raupenimmersatt6906 This is a technical fabric, this isn't the polyester you find in 2€ t-shirts. Actually almost every techwear clothes are made out of polyester or a similar fabric
A thousand bucks for a very ordinary-looking jacket with dog fur trim. I don't think so.

I live in an amazingly cold Canadian province, and I bought my Canada Goose jacket back in the mid-2000s, when it was a little less expensive. My jacket is far more simple, sleek, and stylish than the style in this video. As others have mentioned in the comments, the zipper also functions really well as long as you keep the line relatively straight. I bought CG jackets for my parents a few years ago. My mother never struggles with the zipper. My dad struggles immensely, but he also makes the same mistake as done in this video, where he tries to curl the bottom end up, towards him. Personally, I still consider this to be one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The only other items that even come close are my Canada Goose gloves and my navy Thom Browne seafarer jacket.
My favorite cold weather coat is a Skyline Air Force N3B parka made in 1964. Wool lined and wolf fur around the hood. The definition of form follows function.
I live in Southern Manitoba where it actually gets to -30c , it has never got to -40c in Ottawa. I bought my down parka at Mountain Equipment Coop. I just spent 2 hours blowing snow, I'm not too worried about which jacket is more fashionable. I have a thinsulate lined leather jacket for when I need to be fashionable. When it comes to frostbite, function is more important than fashion.
Ya but no one gets that. If it’s -5C and some snow they call in the army. I’ve seen people with a regular jacket and short standing at the bus stop at -25.
How’s that bow flex workin out?
@@alelectric2767 Al : The Bowflex is working fine, I try to use it every night.
Thank you for this well-researched and thorough review. I've been considering a Canada Goose jacket for a while and assumed the high price was justified by the high quality but your review convinced me the price is more about brand cachet.
Thank you for keeping it real!
You are making great videos ! Thank you ! Keep up the good work
I found this Woods brand in Canada. It has 90% goose down and 10% feathers and it's well made. Costs a fraction of the CG.
If you live somewhere really cold it's worth it I lived in Winnipeg where it got to -40 and I was still warm wearing the jacket
+ 100 points for Sven still doing videos. I don't mind the new guy at all and still enjoy the videos. But I've become quite fond of Sven over the years.
My Canada Goose kept me warm this week in Ontario when it was -35. Best jacket I have ever owned for cold weather
-35 c or f?
Which cg jacket you own?
I have invested ina Canada goose and I do not regret it not one bit
Cap ordie couldn’t agree more mate 👌🏻
I think it too hiking cloth for me...
You can resell it in a couple of years and not lose too much money. Cost per usage is decent.
How is it holding up after 10 months? I’ve been looking at moose knuckles as well, I think the quality of the knuckle is better, and there’s more fur on the knuckle as well. Also looked at Mackage. Big decision investment as it’s a ton of money obviously
K H That’s good to know
Anyone reminded of George Costanza with how loud the jacket is?
It's goretex!!
Last winter in China, I noticed the most fashionable and upmarket areas were flooded with Canada Goose winterwear. The label is highly visible making it easy to spot. Great marketing was done by this company.
My CG bomber is 9 years old and was starting to look a little shabby and the fur was toast, so I sent it in to them and they restored it to basically new for a $47 cleaning fee which I had asked for. Lol, so the lifetime warranty is super comprehensive, no joke... all I wanted was new fur and to get as many of the stains out as possible. They replaced the fasteners, the buttons and zippers (which are metal), the cuffs, the tags, the little hangers off the zipperheads, and removed all the stains... here’s some free advertising for Canada Goose 🇨🇦.
"Michelin man in a garbage bag" -- thank you for this great description - I'm still laughing

@Major Gear yeah buy me one plz 😭
I bought a black Chilliwack bomber late January here in Chicago when the temps were in a record low -17°F with windchills between -35° and -45°F ... I went over by the lakefront to put the coat to the test. All I had underneath was a t-shirt. I was warm the whole time. Price I paid for it was $910. It is a lot but I think it was worth it.
Great video! Helped in looking for my fiance's jacket!
I’ve had mine for 7 years, and I would say it’s 1000% worth it. I wouldn’t hesitate buying. 100% worth the money

Had a Columbia I bought for 120$ at Marshalls rejected section. Don't know why it was there but it's been worn for ten years now and done a great job it wet and snowy/ freezing weather. Triple layer with this metallic looking insulation piece.
Ethically sourced Coyotes after snapping their paws in half with traps.
Canada Goose stuffed with duck feathers. Lovely
FYI...coyotes are hunted by the Canadian government because they are a nuisance to livestock...they breed uncontrollably and have no natural predator in the ecosystem to control their populations....so regardless if companies like Canada Goose use coyote furs in their jackets it would not affect the hunting of coyotes.
Wow lucky that humans exist. What would nature do without us?? This continent must have been a mess before humans showed up, just coyotes breeding uncontrollably. What a great reason to wear a dead dog.
@@Lucas43434 coyotes would eat you that's what
fill power of 625 fill power duck down for $1000....LOL
Even my Karrimor Sub Zero down jacket has 90/10 Goose down 800 fill power, which was £50 in a sale a couple of years ago.
I use it to zip into a £80 Laksen Mouflon Jacket.
Love this guy! Great advice. Thanks.
I bought a jacket last fall, same olive green color same fur around the hood. It’s cloth and doesn’t swish. Granted, it is not down but has a faux fur interior. It kept me warm in -50 temps. $40 at Walmart in a plus size!
Woolrich Arctic Parka! have mine for over 10 years. nothing to complain , although it´s very heavy ;-)
I love WOOLRICH! Thanks!
10 years ago they were Made in USA now, they are made in China. Not paying 800+ for jacket that made in China.
lol, nothing to complain, then followed up with 'very heavy'
That’s actually a nice looking coat. Many times better looking than the Monclair. I have a navy parka made my Canali that is more elegant and better quality. I have no regrets about that purchase. Though I had to get rid of the fur. I don’t like that at all. I’ll consider reattaching if I ever make a trip to the north pole or Antarctica. I would say it’s a fairly stylish coat for the colder days. There’s a time and a place for an overcoat. It’s more suited to smart dress. Most style conscious people, most of the time, are going to be dressed more casually. A coat of this style, especially in winter, is perfectly appropriate.
THANK YOU I've been seeing these everywhere on campus and had noo idea what they were
Salem Marie you must not be smart, it literally says Canada goose on the patch

Arc’teryx is a high end jacket and outdoors-wear company based in Vancouver, Canada. Their hard shells are the most durable and functional jackets on the market, when worn with the proper layering of clothes. I highly recommend you give one of their jackets a try (Alpha SV is their flagship). Keep up the good vids 👍
Thank you for sharing.
I would love to see some recommend options from other brands; Patagonia, north face, fjallraven, etc, within theses videos.
Pyrenex, Parajumper, Mackage hope the cold hasn't kilt you yet
My dad has one in Norway and said it kept him very warm through tough temperatures, don’t buy one for the brand but for the quality.
i bought a jack wolfskin jacket for 180 euros , had it for over 5 years now . best purchase ive made ... serves well even with -30C ( -22F)
Polyester tends to be far more durable than nylon in addition to polyester being more UV stable.
Greetings from Minneapolis... To Minneapolis! (The street signs were the tip-off!) Thanks for being clear about this brand . As a native Minnesotan, I was skeptical about these coats, as they've been popping up everywhere -- but they're so incredibly expensive. And up here, form must follow function, especially with the weather we've been having lately.
I work on movie sets and they always have Canada Goose parkas for the cast to wear whenever they are off-camera. I had no idea they were this expensive, but they sure do look warmer than all of us crew in our black Carhartt jackets
Canada Goose is the world best winter jacket hands down
-25 your sweating buckets🔥🔥🔥
Amazing jacket to wear in Chicago, especially at night! 👍
Don't live in Chicago, problem solved.
yeah, to get robbed
You need to go to bed with that jacket on.
No way I would go out in chigago wearing that. Not im my schedule to get robbed
Good review, but what are the better jackets for half the price?
yes, he says ''there are better jackets for half the price'' but doesn't say what they are!
If you in am extreme cold environment that statement is likely false if you not though the Canada goose is overkill and you can find better suited ones for cheaper for sure
Arcteryx
To be honest on a budget, you can do a lot worse than the North Face Mcmurdo or Arctic/expedition Parka.
Plastic zip is a functional feature in cold weather jackets... At temps below -10C metal zips can freeze. As the video described, the jackets were originally cold weather gear for people working in the arctic so many of the features are holdovers from the original line.
you did a great job, very intelligent presenter, tnxs:)))
