Just bought a Canada goose jacket AMA...

[kovalchuk71]

i'm too lazy to post pictures google "mens winter parka styles"

looks pretty good to me

Eh, like I said, it’s just my opinion. I personally just can’t see a heavy winter coat ever being “dressy”.

Ok so lets say a merino wool base layer and like a Patagonia nano puff mid layer underneath?

That’s a decent idea. I have a TNF Thermoball and think it looks pretty sharp. I want a nano-puff, but I just can’t spend that kind of $$$ right now.

I have a columbia jacket and its fine. Dont waste money on douchey canada goose jackets

wearing canada goose is like how uk people view superdry jackets. Only douchebags wear it

Except SuperDry and Canada Goose aren’t even in the same universe quality wise. I understand the point you’re trying to make, though. CG has definitely become a status symbol, even here in the states.

For me, Canada goose is more of a utility than a style. If you're from Antarctica you get issued one because you would die without it

yes, canada goose is a superior jacket hands down. But, in my city everyone has it. I wanted to get something a bit different. my douchebag comment was too far lol

Especially when most of them are probably fakes. Cringe.

Im thinking pairing my Brooks Brothers overcoat with a nano-puff from like Patagonia and hat/gloves should be legit and still retain the fashion.

Winner. Honestly, how long are you going to be in the elements anyways?

I mean I live in Boston and its normally just commuting. So from my place to the subway then down the block to where ever. But waiting outside for subway at some stations that are above ground can be brutal in single digit wind chills.

This should work. I've worn my nano puff under my peacoat in Minneapolis during the winter and was plenty warm.

Ah ok. I misinterpreted your intentions. I thought this was just for a special occasion. You should choose function over form if you’re gonna be standing in the cold.

unfortunately it sounds like the warmest jacket Is Canada Goose. Its too bad they have such a rap sheet.

Patagonia ftw

Arcteryx Gore tex shell over a heavy fleece, or a medium weight down jacket/sweater.
Canada Goose? Mostly seen on young Asian kids trying to impress each other. BRB paying $700 for a down jacket with no fill listing that isn't box baffled. Yeah, I know my stuff when it comes to this sort of thing.

fate, I am from the Boston area too. This morning I waited over a half hour in that cold waiting for the Orange line. MH down over my hooded sweatshirt over a Champion Vapor shirt. Arcteryx hat and Outdoor Research gloves, was sweating my ass off by the time I got to work.

Invest and wear good hats and gloves too.


Or disregard since you are going for fashion over actually being toasty.

Not sure if serious, if the weather is unbearably cold everyone always has Canada Goose on.

It is not a brand that you take on serious adventures. It is an urban fashion brand.

Look up Feathered Friends, Mountain Hardwear, First Ascent, Western Mountaineering, etc for the serious stuff.


CG uses 675 fill power Canadian down on their 1200 buck parka. lol

i am not a canada goose fan but you are wrong. canada goose originally made jackets for people who worked and lived in places like the arctic. They gained reputation for keeping ppl warm in sub zero climates. Then they started making jackets for the mainstream consumer..

If you look at the canada goose site they have heavy arctic jackets...but super expensive

None of these brands beat their winter coat/jacket lines

maybe they used to make decent gear but they are not considered equipment that you take to bag 8000 meter peaks. Sorry but it's a no go.


Again, I am pretty sure they use Canadian sourced down compared to Eastern European or French down which is considered a higher quality down.

Do you ever go out into extreme cold?

Blows my mind that a brand with Canada in it is getting a lot of press thesedays. The Canucks are shilling hard.

I recommend a good old Columbia multi-layer jacket. It's winter, how stylish do you want to look?

Columbia Jackets (as well as every other outdoors brand) come with inner thermal layer and an external protection layer to block out wind and resist water/ snow.
