Do you agree with these rankings? 😮 Check out every past episode from my "Which brand makes the best down jacket?" series: • Ep. 1: ua-cam.com/video/cSdMBn-VStQ/v-deo.html • Ep. 2: ua-cam.com/video/c-btd2ym-gw/v-deo.html • Ep. 3: ua-cam.com/video/-y1j7NSXHYI/v-deo.html
I purchased an Eddie Bauer parka at their outlet store for $99.00 on a hot summer day. I have it 10 + years and it’s still keeping me warm on those brutal cold days.
Glad you mentioned Woolrich, It's gotta be the most underrated down jacket brand. Ive been wearing my Artic parka for years and it has kept me so warm every winter
Some of the best parkas are made by a small British company called Shackleton. They have some expensive stuff but it’s quality, construction, materials and design are top tier. If you really need some next level cold/weather protection I’d look there.
I actually did a detailed review on Moose Knuckles and Mackage. You can check it out here: Mackage: ua-cam.com/video/-y1j7NSXHYI/v-deo.html Moose Knuckles: ua-cam.com/video/c-btd2ym-gw/v-deo.html
You should look into the Sail Racing Pole Down Vectran. It’s a Swedish limited edition, 800FP, high fill weight, expedition jacket made for the harshest environments on earth. Wore mine in temperatures ranging from -20c down to -38c last winter, excluding the windchill. Waterproof, with coated downclusters.
Eddie Bauer Superior down series. The superior down bomber, the superior down jacket (discontinued) the superior down parka and the superior down Coat are the warmest in their close. 650 Fill power down (canada goose uses 625fp) at 80% down 20%% feathers. Fully waterproof fabric, all the seams are sealed, YKK zippers everywhere, nice cargo pockets, hand warmer pockets and normal pockets. Very durable. Very warm. Their bomber looks better than the canada goose Chilliwack bomber jacket AND is warmer. I also have the the parka for the coldest days -25c and below. The bomber is good for most of, if not all of winter in Montreal (Montreal is colder than Toronto). Make sure you buy it on Black Friday or Boxing Day. Do not pay full price because they are heavily discounted on holidays. They are the best for the price. Plain and simple.
Whats your height? I probably get the uniqlo hopefully with a black friday deal. I just dont think they look too stylish with the narrow look. Cropped and more bulky is my liking but to get that in combination with quality is alot pricey.
5'10 (178 cm). You might like the North Face Nuptse jacket. It has a cropped and bulky look. Check out my review here: ua-cam.com/video/-y1j7NSXHYI/v-deo.html
Love your vids, next time could you review bomber jackets like parajumpers gobi jacket and an amazing brand pyrenex, there bomber jackets are amazing and have some history behind them anyways great vid🎉
@ thanks! In the UK we have two versions of the Mcmurdo, one for £450 and one for £720. The latter being the gore tex version. Do you think the cold weather performance would be the same between them both or would the gore tex version be warmer? Love the vids btw! Keep them coming 👍🇬🇧

Nice vid
You should have included parajumper’s cloud jacket!!! That’s their warmest puffer jacket!
@@dietman AH thanks for the rec. I tried their Gobi bomber before and it was a solid jacket!
@@MensFashionFiles the cloud jacket is warmer than the gobi

The man is risking homelessness to show us the best jacket, you gotta respect that.
Who needs a bed when I can just sleep on my down jackets
@@MensFashionFilesthanks for the sacrifice.
Glad you mentioned Woolrich, It's gotta be the most underrated down jacket brand. Ive been wearing my Artic parka for years and it has kept me so warm every winter
The fact that Canada Goose uses duck down and not goose down is ridiculous! They should call themselves Canada Duck instead
Awesome and complete review off down jackets Nelson! I gotta go with the CG MacMillan for safer cities and Uniqlo for ghetto areas
haha smart move. Stay safe out there and I appreciate the comment!
I would rather pay 200 for wool underwear and the 400 North Face rather than spending 1000+ for the Canada Goose. That will definitely be warmer
I stopped wearing my Canada Goose out because I'm scared of getting mugged

I use your reviews as solid references, thanks
Glad to hear that 👌
Underrated brands and not many reviews on are Moose Knuckles, Mackage, and Arctic Army!
I actually did a detailed review on Moose Knuckles and Mackage. You can check it out here:

Appreciate the rec. This is my first time hearing of this brand. The specs look very impressive. I will def add this to my list to try out.
One critical miss on jackets from North Face. The Nuptse 2 down jacket is perfect in my eyes as an ex mountaineer
Good to know. I haven’t tried the nuptse 2 before but I have the retro ‘96 nuptse and I’m pretty disappointed on that jacket

Anyone know other good down jacket brands besides Canada Goose and North Face?
Moose Knuckles
1:50 you do not want snaps if you are wearing gloves. velcro all the way. Not everyone wears these jackets to walk two blocks to whole foods.
Love your vids, next time could you review bomber jackets like parajumpers gobi jacket and an amazing brand pyrenex, there bomber jackets are amazing and have some history behind them anyways great vid🎉
Appreciate the recommendations! I did do a review on the Parajumpers Gobi jacket that you can check out here: ua-cam.com/video/c-btd2ym-gw/v-deo.html
Hi Can you review the North Face McMurdo Gore Tex version and compare it to a luxury brand?
I got you. Check out my comparison video here: ua-cam.com/video/6LiTiLRjSTs/v-deo.htmlsi=UCJaeqitGSFHMffB
