In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I look at whether or not you should buy a Canada Goose jacket. Specifically, I investigate the animal ethics of Canada Goose, trying to figure out whether they actually source their goose down and coyote fur from ethical sources. Ultimately, Canada Goose's really high price tag and cost combined with they shakey transparency on sourcing from animals might mean not buying a Canada Goose Jacket.

What are your thoughts on Canada Goose? Do you think they're worth it?
No way, at this point requiring animal suffering for a clothing item is unethical because we know better and have the technology to do better.. especially such an expensive brand...
Are there sustainable & ethical alternatives to the Canada Goose jacket?
I never even thought about buying a jacket for 800 euros, it's just not worth it.
people who buy them are more stupid than a piece of bread especially the ones who buy them because they are TrEnDy
I plan to buy a used Canada Goose jacket. Canada Goose has a better resale value than most other brands and if taken care of their coats can last a lifetime.
Definitely don't recommend buying a new Canada Goose jacket but most discussions around the brand fail to acknowledge that it's one of the few popular winter jacket options that don't manufacture their jackets internationally - all their jackets are made in Canada. Compare that to North Face, TNA, Aritizia, etc which all manufacture in countries with notable garment labour issues. It's worth mentioning because I'm tired of the "cruelty free" discussion centring only around animals. It's also important to discuss the environmental effects of faux fur when condemning the use of real fur
They don't use sweatshop labor but they exploit their immigrant population in Canada for cheap labor.
"im not a racist but"
@@NG-qp4gi Canada's labour laws really don't allow the type of exploitation that you are talking about.
Humans are more important than animals. Fact, PETA and groups like it hate humanity, fact. Am I going to buy a CG jacket? Yes. I am.
Moose knuckles is just as good
I opted for a Fjallraven winter jacket instead. Faux fur, recycled down, and literally half of the cost of a Canada Goose Jacket. Plus their ethics are on point!
And it's way more chic.
I give it 1 year tops before PETA or some vegans fabricate some BS about Fjallraven.
@Nesh. where in her whole comment did she chat shit about canada goose apart from the price and unless you are a millionaire you cannot honestly be telling the truth if u said canada goose wasnt expensive. Also how do you know she hasn't tried one, she may have tried someone elses
@Nesh. if you genuienly think it's the best winter jacket, you need to do some more research...
Rachel Sartor You buy Canada goose for the logo, if you arent going to get a canada goose then dont even spend over £200 on a coat lol. Fjallraven is an unknown brand, better off getting a north face
Canada goose is a status symbol in my area (Lake Tahoe). I can afford one but purposely bought a $80 budget jacket from Burlington....and love it. I can beat it up moving through branches and bushes without fear. Plus no one wants to smash my truck window if I leave it in my truck.
An $80 budget jacket won't do the job if you're living in Canada.
If you leave your 80$ jacket at Brooklyn your truck window will be smash
Sounds like a personal problem. Save up some money so you can move out.
Wait until you go to the north or the east. You’ll want to add another 0 to that $80
Should I buy a Canada goose jacket?
*Sees the price*
Nope byeeee
Luisa or maybe Bc they slaughter animals ?
Luisa Fjallraven in a nutshell
YvngMel I eat slaughtered animals. What’s your point again? They don’t slaughter animals for the goose down, it’s not even goose down tbh. They pick up feathers and down from poultry farms that produce eggs. The fur is a must to break and isolate you from the cold winds. Fake fur will freeze and in the end so will your face. Ever seen a coyote running around with a frozen and stiff fur?
All materials from overseas. Robots made the jackets inside a factory in Canada ONLY👎
Just buy Columbia or north face 😅 I’m a student and I will never spent $300+ on a jacket
Honestly ppl only buy it for the clout
Not true
munira derie only reason I bought one tbh 😂
If you try one you feel the insane quality and pockets all over the jacket which keep your hands comfy af - tbh warmest and best jacket I’ve got my hands on - got the standard parka for 995€
Ps: if you keep it clean and if you’re not going to the club with that jacket it will last for about 8-10 years
Marco Klein dude your rich my dad wouldn’t let me
Marco Klein Canada Goose jackets could last longer than that. U can make cheap jackets last a long time

1000$ divided by 10 years = 100$
This jacket costs 100$

Can you please do an episode on natural fibers and their ecological footprint? I'm a huge proponent of wool, since sheep can be raised on land that can't be cropped or reforested. Wool is biodegradable, does not harm the animal to harvest it, naturally hydrophobic, warmer than any synthetic fiber, it's processing requires zero harsh chemicals, and since sheep do not thrive on grain they are almost always grass fed and rotationally grazed. A proper intensive rotational grazing system with sheep will actually sequester carbon.
It would be a nice way to show that you aren't only listening to animal rights extremists.
The only downside with wool is that allergies to it are quite common, so there's always going to need to be a major alternative to it.
keyholes I have never met one person who is allergic to wool. If you buy cheap wool, it night be itchy and it might be dyed or treated with chemicals that could cause adverse reactions, but I very much doubt actual wool allergies are common.
@@keyholes Like Camille said, actual histamine response reactions to the proteins in wool is exceedingly rare. You'd be very hard pressed to find anyone who reacts to undyed extra-fine merino on their skin. And remember - cashmere is goat hair, and you never hear of people having cashmere allergies.
There are hundreds of breeds of sheep, it is the oldest domesticated animal. Not all wool is meant for skin contact, and most wool is grown for rugs and textiles, not fine yarns and fashion fabrics. Have you ever heard of anyone getting allergy related rashes on their feet from wool rugs? I haven't.
@@miyounova I'm allergic to both wool and fur actually. If I hug my friend who's wearing a wool sweater I get hives where I touch her sweater pretty much instantly. If I'm in a subway full of people who wear wool I sneeze and my eyes start to burn. I live in Canada so when I transit in winter it's always a nightmare @_@.
@@audpicc I get hives from cashmere scarves actually so I thought it was just my usual wool allergy. But then I'm allergic to most animals I wouldn't be surprised if I'm allergic to goats as well T_T
You should do a video on IKEA. i am reading a class case about much effort they put in to be eco-friendly and that's amazing but I definitely would opt to buy new furniture only after I tried to find it second-hand. But. if they would offer some plastic free vegan food there, I may come just for that lol.
Great idea! I'll put it on the ever-growing list!!
Tbh still Not a fan of Ikea.
They’re logging tremendous amounts of old forests here and when ppl found out they were furious, but government business it is. (But i mean they probably make more money than our budget is so not like bargaining power is super big and the government is desperate to make more money for corrupt politicians -.-)
Only thing bad about ikea apart from making throwaway furniture is the fact they pay a very small amount of tax in my country whilst making billions of dollars and not putting it back into the local economy
As someone who lives where it's regularly under -40, these jackets are truly awesome and one of a kind
theres never an excuse for animal abuse. check out noize or save the duck
PicklesRTasty buy faux materials, it is of the same quality
@@susie_pinon So you're telling me indigenous peoples shouldn't kill animals? lmfaooooooooooo
I think this jacket would be really good for places in climates like that! I personally don't agree with using real fur, but in a climate below 40 I see how real fur is necessary. I hate how people be wearing Canada Goose even though it hasn't even hit the low 20s yet. That's where I think it's stupid.

How dose it feel to be the j cole of music videos
We did a presentation at university a few weeks ago on their ethics and they were even worse than I had expected when we looked into. I'm soo glad you have made this video, it's always good to educate people so they can make more informed decisions 😀
Can you please elaborate how?
Still bought 3 jackets do I care? Nah
@Taoe Reeves obvo cause they do seasonal jackets, my parka is for winter my gilet is for spring and lodge jacket is for autumn
@Taoe Reeves, nah not three parkas prob about 1800€
@Kvng jay buy a jacket and you’ll know why
I’m Canadian and just so everyone knows we kill the coyotes anyways so we might as well take the fur.
J W why do you kill the coyotes
Alisha K they kill our corgis
Fuck you
Gazzle Spaz but it’s in a coyotes nature to be predators for food it’s not in our nature especially in modern ages when synthetic items are available to kill coyotes for a embellishment on a hood
Alisha K Why would you lie and say it’s not in our nature? How did we become the apex that we are today without killing? Why do we have a thing called adrenaline? Stop spreading false information.
wow, your videos get better every time
I love your channel. that’s all I wanna say. always enjoy ur vids, have a great day:)
Why would you even need fur on your jacket in this day and age. If you live in a town, why would you care about "extremely low temperatures". I live in Russia, It's rather cold here, but I'm doing pretty well in membrane jacket.
BTW, what about Arc'Teryx, love their quality, what about ethical side of things?
Fur is a natural fiber that has properties that cannot be copied by synthetics. I don't think it's useful as a decoration on a hooded jacket, but fur lined products like snowboots and coats DO serve a very specific and non-replicable function. Remember, synthetic fibers, even most processed "natural" rayons, do not decompose. They are not sustainable. Fur is an ecological option, and definitely CAN be grown and harvested ethically.
Ya i agree I would reckon that 95% of people who own a canada goose jacket dont live in climate that requires it. AKA anywhere that's not the arctic...
Fur is natural, superior in quality and I personally find it more comfortable. Personally, I have no problems with the use of fur or other animal products.
I havent done a lot of research on Arc'teryx, but I've read on their website that they favor perfomance over sustanability. Like they still got PFC in the DWR on rainjackets, and they dont use recycled materials. If you compare it to Patagonia they will release their first rain jacket that is PFC free, and some of their jackets like the Torrentshell use fully recycled materials. One company that I love is Haglöfs and some of their jackets is PFC free which is great.
@@audpicc There is an absolute use for fur on hoods. It is not just for looks. The fur breaks the wind and snow to protect your face. And its needed not just in the arctic. There are many places in northern countries like Canada, like where I live in Ottawa, which regularly get winter temperatures of -30 to -40C.
Also when buying used, don't forget to remove or recover the company logo
i got lucky and found a 150$ canada goose jacket, it lasted me 7 years until I *donated* it. was still in amazing condition, i definitely recommend it to those who can afford it.
i love your videos, i have yet to watch all but i've watched most.

You said there were better alternatives. Could you put a list of them in the description for those that are interested?
There are cheaper alternatives, and probably some coats that are similarly good, but those coats would all made use of the same natural animal materials as Canada Goose coats.

In Osaka, Japan, the winters here are very mild, usually about 10 degrees Celsius, but you see more Canada Goose than any other brand. It's not the warmth they're looking for. It's the brand image and the flex.

I used to shop at H&M, Zara and Walmart. I a lot of less but I waisted a lot of gas. By the end of the day I spent more money fixing it. I don't have this kind of jacket but from what I read. Everybody loves this jacket once they get a hand on it.

Hey Charlie! Just wondering when you say an option to buy the CG jacket secondhand, where you think that falls on the ethical scale. Is the mitigation of landfill worth the "promotion" of the brand? For example, how would someone on the street know you got the jacket secondhand? I don't have a good answer to this (same question goes for leather jackets if you're vegan) so I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Loved this video , got yourself a new sub ... please do a video on Moose Knuckles . I’m sure they are way more unethical in their practices haha
Love my new Canada Goose jacket. No fur and very light down. Bought specifically for the fit. No regrets.
I've been researching the warmest coats available and keep coming back to Canada Goose. And, recently, Moose Knuckles. Your video has given me insight and a lot to consider than just the price or Clo rating/fill power/down weight. Thank you. Can you recommend any alternatives that would be less expensive but still provide the equivalent warmth and comparable quality ? I live in Philadelphia PA. Our winters can get pretty cold and I'm not a fan of going outside and getting into a freezing car. (No remote starter). 🤧🤒🤷♂️🌬️❄️☃️🛷🎿⛸️

I live in Northern Ontario, the wind-chill reaches -58 here this can be deadly! And I have tried many winter jackets that claim this that, and so far these claims are false. You shouldn't have to wear 10 layers! And staying in is not an option, this is daily in winter, so I will next try the Canada Goose Mantra good for -60, I tried last year the still pricey Wuxly movement parka, it claims as good as Canada Goose, but it wasn't at -25 with a wind-chill of -38, and it was $900. So it was a complete waste of money for me, Canada Goose has been around since the 50s, and have proven themselves, I don't like animals being hurt for anything, but nobody seems to go after many other companies that use these same down fillers or real fur, why not? I feel if you are buying it for status that's not a good reason, but still it's their money and they are not breaking any laws as a consumer, but if it is for the daily use of extreme weather than it makes sense. It will last me many many years, so with the investment, and I'm tired of false claims!!!
Arcteryx or berghaus ...both better for those conditions
@@B47ANCE144 I will check them out but if they fail and more money grabbing by the company I will surely let them know, but if they are true to the claims than they will be my choice for sure!!!
@@B47ANCE144 nope, arcteryx down jackets arent able to withstand negative weather that well. I have two down jackets from them and they will keep me warm until about 5-10F.
What are some good brands that are alternatives then?
Wesley Mauk Patagonia and fjallraven are good alternatives
look for brands that use primaloft black for insulation, which is made out of recycled plastic, or if you can wait this winter they are collaborating with a few brands (I know ll bean is one) to release biodegradable synthetic fill. On top of that you may want to check out carhartt, though they may not have the most environmental fills (I honestly haven’t checked) many of their products are made in the US meaning low transportation and ethical labor as well as many of them being made more out of Cotten and other natural fibers.
Quartz nature
Arc Teryx
Wesley Mauk Moncler 😂
Just a question (please answer) where did you find that 'gaspard de la nuit' beat? (5:25)
I think you should make a video about ten tree, talking about if they actually fulfill their promise, and if the impact of them planting is actually worth all of the carbon they emit through production
When you buy a jacket that contains fur in the hood you do have to the option to choose a artificial fur
I think so.
Checked their website a few days ago. They have coats with artificial fur
Canada Goose have coats with no fur, but all of their winter jackets use duck down. Honestly it’s really worth it, I got mine used and I’m never cold.
Banana Milk yea when you got to pay for them some parkas have the option for the artificial fur
Ace. Yea you get in one and writhing one minute your instantly warm

Hi! Can you do a video about the brand, Allbirds?
Come to my university to see at least half of the students wearing this jacket...
no, what they do to theses wild dogs is horrendous no way will I pay for that.
James Wood “wild dogs” you mean coyotes? You know in Canada we kill those things anyways, anybody can kill them because they reek havoc on local wildlife and domesticated pets. The savage animals will be killed anyways and Canada goose uses the fur. Might as well make some use of them after we kill them.
coyotes are a menace
They are important to the eco system just like wasp even though they are annoying they do serve a purpose
@@anthonymolina7416 but the problem is a balance to many coyotes can have a negative impact on the ecosystem and the livelihood on many farmers
I'm on the hunt for a good, nice-looking winter jacket, that comes in petite sizing as I'm under 5'3". Sadly, I honestly don't see many choices!! If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear. I don't want to buy a CG because everyone and their mother has one, but where I live it can reach into single digits Fahrenheit in the winter, and they offer a petite sizing which appeals to me but I'm on the fence either way
They are not a status symbol. They are a symbol of impeccable quality and attention to detail. If you own one you know what I mean. Spend $1000 now and never buy another winter coat again or spend $300-400 and buy a new coat every few years. As for animal ethics, why is CG always targeted? You do know that virtually every major coat maker uses down and/or fur - including Patagonia, Moose Knuckles, Quartz, North Face, Montcler, Arc’teryx... Those that don’t directly use animal materials produce their coats with petroleum chemical synthetics and plastics which impact the environment in big ways too. Plus Canada Goose is manufactured entirely in Canada (where last time I checked does not use child labour or prisoners to manufacture their products). Best bet might be to wear no clothing at all and cover your self in leaves and twigs; or maybe road kill, if you are really lucky.
I'm so glad you made a video about Canada Goose, their ethical practices are very blurry.
LOL! Canada was founded on the fur trade. It's part of our culture and identity, especially for First Nations people. Your self-righteous
"ethics" are worth zero.
I purchased mine for roughly 60% of the retail value (which they don't go on sale). I found it worth it, each jacket has a warranty so if it starts to slowly wear out, you can just send it in to get it fixed. They last for decades, so sometimes paying that extra amount for a jacket with a warranty is better than buying a cheaper one that you will need to keep replacing every couple of years. Also, make sure you buy one with the right amount of fill for your area. In Canada, we hit negative 20 often, so I bought one that is made for this temperature and find I need this amount of warmth for everything I do.
In terms of ethics, I looked into it a bit and didn't see anything that personally bothered me. I knew they sourced the feathers from animals that are already dead, and coyotes need to be trapped for biodiversity. I knew the ethics were a little shaky, but by purchasing used, I knew I wasn't supporting CG directly, and helping out with waste instead.
Can you do one of these on mountain equipment?

Patagonia is far better if you want some down jackets. They got traceable down and they are much cheaper. Patagonia is probably one of the best companies when it comes to sustainable practices

Bought a goose in 2011, lasted about 4 years until it was too small. Still looks brand new. Bought another last year and the sleeves have frayed, it isn’t nearly as warm and the fur keeps shedding. Might I add it was also nearly double the price from the same (official) retailer
Dan That means the Canada Goose warranty is shit. If all the feathers shed the hell is the point?
They are no longer protected in Canada,
And , so, according to this, I saved over $1000, by just wearing an extra sweater 🤣

Can you recommend a good warm coat for someone that gets cold easily and needs warmth. I have health issues and where I live isn't too cold, but it can get pretty cold as our temps can drop drastically day to day. I need a good warm coat!
North Face or Moncler
the goose make sturdy jackets for sure. warm? certain models are warm. most urban models do not have that down in the them especially in the sleeves. this is where you will find the cold spots. right at the elbow junction. there is hardly any down at all at the elbow section of the jackets, the urban models that is. i know they have a line of warmer coats really made for the arctic. i had a goose jacket from way back in the days. they had a different logo back then. it was just a goose in gold embroidery on a black patch with a canadian flag near it....it was a special cop edition jacket. super warm and tons of down feathers with high loft. i was baking in that thing. i literally just wore a t shirt underneath the jacket. the goose does not make them like they used to.
there are better alternatives out there for less money. get primaloft jackets. or puma fill jackets.
Invest the money and watch it grow
I'm very happy with my Canada Goose coat. It cost far more than anything I've bought, but it keeps me very warm and it feels great.
It's going to take a lot more than a questionable PETA video for me to change my mind on that. PETA sees all use of animal products as cruelty, but I'm more than happy to eat chickens and geese (as are most people) so it would be hypocritical to then act like using byproducts for clothing is any different.
Similarly, I don't have a problem with hunting to control populations of invasive species like coyotes, so I see no reason to let their very useful byproducts such as fur go to waste and to use non-renewable inferior plastic fur instead.
This video really doesn't present a very compelling argument, it's basically just "this is maybe bad", and doesn't show what environmental impact it has.
Krombopulos Michael I’m the same!! I always say to people who disagree with fur and leather etc that they should be completely vegan and use no animal products whatsoever otherwise god help us haha
People like you are the problem though. Paying a huge amount of money for a coat that costs $43 to make and they skin animals in the process. Most people laugh at Canada goose products now
Have a couple of these jackets. Yes they have a high price tag, but it’s really crazy how warm u get in these jackets.
What should I do with my Canada Goose Jacket then? Should I stop wearing it? Should I sell it/give it away?What are other alternative brands that would be just as good?
I love their coats, warmest coat I’ve ever owned!

@@moeezS yeah, because there's no evidence that the ethics are bad. "Shaky" is just a weasel word for "I can't prove anything but nobody can say for certain that they're good"

I don't have much experience with Canada Goose, but they are good quality, buy them if you're going on a winter expedition of some sort. Even then though my go-to's are Fjallraven and Helly Hansen, and some North Face too. Extremely good quality and just as warm, and for less.
I like Fjallraven and thought they were over priced but that CAVALRY TRENCH by Canada Goose is so cute! Probably the only thing I’d cop for bing a versatile coat. I honestly don’t think it’s worth $675 for 100% Polyester material. lol 😅
Canada Goose makes the warmest jackets in the world. It is indeed a superior product and worth the money.

Callum Butler there are ethical warm jackets as well.
@@peachypeach6653 no proof of Canada goose being unethical
Canada goose is getting fur free
I love bunz, not enough ppl in my area use it though
I am not a fan of Canada goose but I just want people to know that furr is one of the best fabric. It can last for years if you take good care of it and it biodegrade at some point compared to any plastic fabric such as polyester, nylon...
I'm a vegetarian and I spent years trying to use only vegan materials. They were toxic, poor quality, and are now rotting in landfills. Natural fibers like cashmere and down are warmer, biodegradable and higher quality than synthetics. I also spent the past eleven years living in extremely cold climates, so it's necessary for me to invest in a decent jacket. I think buying these simply to be trendy is silly, but they are a smart investment if you need one.
I bought a canada goose parka. By far the best purchase i have made. The £1000 price tag is definitely worth every penny. You wont regret buying one
What do u think of Hemp Hoodlamb?
i got mine 7 years ago...i will keep wearing it, but the whole video i had a weird feeling that i have it... i mean only now i get how powerful marketing is.
It lasts your whole life and it keeps you warm in the coldest climates, yes its worth it.
I’m also poor but this video looking like poor people finding another excuse to not buy things we cannot afford.
I live in Canada, where -20 Celsius are common in winter. And I often venture up north where it can be below -30 Celsius. I don't like Canada Goose and I'm not gonna buy any of their coat. But wool and fur are way more efficient at keeping warm than synthetic clothing. Stay 12 hours outside and come tell me you disagree. I bought a secondhand fur coat because I felt like reusing was the way, I wear multiple layers of wool pulls and cardigans and that's my way to go. I go on hikes in the forest three or more times a week and it's really a must. Did you know that all synthetic materials decompose in micro plastics that flows from washing machines to the ocean? Synthetic material clothing are made from oil and chemical industries. Why not reusing wool clothes from the thrift store? Or buying new wool clothing that can last for decades.
Could you do a video about napapijri?
Also if you buy a used Canada Goose jacket (or any other questionable brand), consider taking the brand logo off. Simply because YOU might not put money into the brands' pockets directly if you buy used but you may inspire other people to want to buy their products by wearing one of them and they won't necessarily buy used.
Humanity faces way bigger problems as this tiny stuff. If you care about our ecosystem at least.
@@jakeedison5149 I don't think that's a helpful system of measurement as it's all tied in with each other. You may think animal abuse is a smaller problem compared to holes in the ozone layer, global warming or the dying of the coral reefs. But the truth is they are all symptoms of the same underlying problem which is capitalism and overproduction and -consumption. Producing as much as we do under capitalism for the pure sake of consuming more and funneling money into the pockets of the already rich comes at a cost. And in some cases that cost is animal abuse. So if you care about the entire thing there are different things to watch out for and buying more ethically (if you have to buy at all) and being careful of what brands and systems of production you promote is one of those things.
I bought one, and i love it. :)
Same
Yup bought one a week ago, mad fresh
@shut up @kittydog fan I’ll go to a restaurant in my goose jacket and munch on a big steak while pour some cream sauce that has been made with its juices 🤣🤣
@kittydog fan! worst thing about my canada goose is when I go to KFC and get the chicken grease on it
I'm saving up for 1 :) cant wait to walk around feeling richer than everyone 🤑
Just bought a Canada Goose. I love it
I didn't realize their is a brand named canada goose until I saw this and, I originally assumed this would be a video on generic goose down harvesting.
I saw activists against Canada Goose. Now I want one.
coyotes eat cats here Alabama. I don’t care about the fur
Where does one buy this stuff second hand?
Is Bunze available in Canada??
