new video with my updated thoughts on canada goose: czcams.com/video/ydHAaeDxCuQ/video.html
appreciate the honesty. I have a fjallraven singi down jacket. same problems with down falling out and YKK zipper being the opposite of smooth.
Thanks for watching! I feel like some down falling out is inevitable with any jacket, I’m just happy I got a free replacement from Canada goose. But ya quality wise of a Canada goose, id expect a better zipper haha, but it’s still a nice looking jacket don’t get me wrong. Are you still considering a Canada goose or going to stick with your fjallraven?
Great review (y)
I've seen quite a few reviews about this jacket that talk about the sleeves getting caught on the velcro when you don't zip up the jacket. Have you had any issues with that? thanks
Hey thanks for watching! To be honest I cannot recall ever having issues with the sleeves getting caught on the Velcro. I just tried purposely sticking them together and it didn’t really stick. The only way that I think this might be possible is if your jacket is new and you are trying to zip up your jacket (as the sleeves have a good chance of making contact to Velcro then) But my sleeves never come near the Velcro when it’s not zipped, and even if it did I have not experienced a catch.
@@chonger Thank you! That's good to know. The velcro was my only concern. I'm going to get one this week! :)
Sweet hope you enjoy it! What model are you getting?
@@chonger Thanks! I'm getting the same one you reviewed - Langford Parka Fusion Fit, but in black
Nice honest review. I was just at Pacific Centre trying on the CG Langford Heritage Parkas. I was frankly disappointed by the amount of Velcro (hook and loop fastener) strips on this jacket. These strips are noisy when separated and end up snagging and picking up unwanted debris. The sales person showed me the newly redesigned black CG label Langford parka line which features a new designed hood with no fur as well as metal snaps in place of the Velcro strips. The only drawback is these are only available in two shades of gray, Titanium (cooler) or Coastal (warmer).
Oh I’ll have to check out the new Langford line, but tbh I might switch to moncler when I can afford one Hahahha
@@chonger, Not a fan of the glossy Monclear puffy coats. Mackage Edward was my other option.
the drawback is that there's no fur so it's whack af
Could you show some more pictures of it in the Maple Red? I've had my eyes for weeks but i'm not sure about the color and can't find any online (except their website)
Yes for sure, you can send me a dm on ig: instagraeeme and I will reply back with some more pics
Just got my maple red Wyndham in mail, hate the color looks very orange in person
I’m 5-11/6 feet, 170lbs, and about a 30 waist. Would the fusion small be too snug? Ideally I would like to be able to wear a fleece or suit under the jacket
Hey I would say that based on your measurements, a small would be too snug if you were to layer underneath. At one point I was also 165-170 and I found that the jacket fit just right, so I can’t imagine wearing something beneath.
I'm 6 Foot tall and an average build what size would you recommend in the canada goose langford parka? Great review.
Thanks for watching! I am 6 feet as well, and am just over 160lbs. I currently wear a small in the fusion fit Langford parka... i can also layer a Patagonia better sweater under it and I’m still fine. So perhaps if you are a bit bigger you can try a medium or a small in the normal Langford fit (If I remember correctly the non fusion fit one is more of a regular fit instead of slim)
chonger I’ve just bought a large fusion fit expedition parka on eBay without doing the proper research about the fusion fit, I’m concerned it won’t fit. I’m 6’3 and have a slim build should it be ok? Any help is highly appreciated
George Brown - hey I’m not too sure the specifics on the expedition parka, but I know that fusion fits are for slimmer builds. Someone else commented on my video and mentioned he was 6’2 and 200lbs and a large fit him perfect. So since you mentioned that you are slimmer my concern would be that maybe a medium would be better for you. However since you are taller you might end up needing the large for the sleeve length. For me I am 6 feet and 160lbs and a small is good for me, but I like my clothes fairly form fitting... Haha sorry Idk if my answer was what you were looking for exactly, it’s been awhile since I’ve been in the store to try on jackets so I haven’t compared a size run or the different jacket models for like 2 years.
chonger thank you! This has been really helpful, I’ve been stressing about it a lot and couldn’t find answers anywhere else and you’ve given me a lot of clarity, thank you for the quick response too!
No worries! Let me know when your jacket comes and how it fits, I’m curious to know.
If I order a Canada goose coat from a website store and get it posted to me do u reckon the fur would be good on it?
Yes it should be fine
Nyc as well. Canada goose and monclear are most worn my chinese
Ya I could see that haha
Or affluent whites
I need some advice. I don't know whether or not to get the Langford parka that they say is literally "designed for Asians" on their website or the regular one. I THINK I would be a size small. I'm a guy and about 5 feet and 6 inches tall, and my waist size is about 30-32. I really don't want to spend a lot of time having to return a jacket that doesn't fit. Would rather get one that fits right the first time.
I’m assuming you mean the fusion fit as “designed for asians”... I have non asian friends who have the fusion fit and it fits them well since they are a slimmer build. I’m assuming you are on the slimmer side as well, as my waist is the same size as you. My measurements is 165lbs, and 6 feet and I’m a size small. I’m not sure based on your height if an xs might be more appropriate. If you have access to a measurement tape see if you can match a measurement to a size. But I can say that I prefer the fusion fit over regular fit for sure. Hope that answered your question and not left you with more questions haha. Feel free to ask me anything further.
^ Thanks for your quick reply! Yes, of course, I wasn't suggesting that only Asians can or should wear the fusion fit parka - just stating that I am a small guy and of small build and frame, and I would want to get a jacket that fits me flatteringly and keeps me warm and doesn't look like a box where there's lots of gaps for cold to get in. It sounds like I am definitely shorter than you. It's gonna be between a small or extra small. The only issue with extra small is that when I'm sitting (cause it's a long jacket) it could get tight and bunch up and I wouldn't want it to generally be too snug when zipped up even if it's fine when open.
Dude, I’m 5.5 muscular fit, what size do you recommend for me?
Hey depending if you like slimmer fits or not... the fusion fit is slimmer in the chest, I believe it is also a bit shorter in length than the regular fit as well. Since you are 5.5 and have a muscular build I would say it is probably good to get a small in a standard fit or a medium in fusion fit. The small in the regular fit could still have a “slim” fit given your muscular build, but be longer in length for you. Or the medium in the fusion fit would be slimmer by nature and also a bit shorter of a jacket. Hope that helped. For me I’m 6ft and the small fusion fit is a good length for me as well as I still have some room in the chest (maybe half an inch) since I’m ~160lbs
I am 5”8 and about 135lbs. I want to be able to wear hoodies/jackets underneath, but I also don’t want the coat to be too big. Would you recommend a small or XS in the fusion?
Hmm honestly you might find it a bit bulky wearing something under the Canada goose. However, if you do end up planning to do that, I would recommend the small fusion. Just because when I bought my first Canada goose I was 140lbs and I found xs good for me, and I wouldn’t comfortably be able to wear a layer under, so the small would give you some more room.
@@chonger thanks a lot!
Hello I’m 170cm in height which is just about 5ft7 & I weigh 9.7 stones. I’m quite muscular as I have broad shoulder, what size would you recommend? I do like my jackets slim..I have the Garson vest in xs and it fits me well
I just googled 9.7 stones is about 135lbs, is that correct? When I got my Langford fusion fit in small I was actually 130lbs and it fit me fine, not too roomy etc. Now that I am 165lbs the jacket is more snug, and fits better. I would say since you are 5 inches shorter than me I would go for an xs.
chonger XS in the fusion fit or the standard? The standard Langford Parka has a slim cut to it anyways right?
Yes that’s correct the Langford does have a slim fit. I personally would go for the fusion fit. The main differences is slimmer in the torso, slightly shorty sleeve length, and jacket does not go down as low. I can’t remember the exact extent of the differences since it’s been over 2 years since I’ve tried both variants on. But based on my measurements 6ft 165lbs and wearing a small Langford fusion fit, I would think an XS fusion fit for you would be good for you at 5ft7 and 135lbs
And all of the Langford parkas like fusion fit and slim fit all there furs are the same size?
Fusion fit has smaller fur hood
Great video ! I’m thinking about purchasing this exact jacket but idk what size to get. I wear XL on supreme hoodies(bandana) and Large on their tees. I’m 6’2 and 200lbs. What size should I get for this jacket ?
Hmm for me I have a supreme bandana box logo in medium... I am 6 ft and am 160lbs, and my Canada goose is a small. So I would suggest at large? Would it be possible to try on in the store?
chonger oof sadly trying it out at the store isn’t an option. Thanks for the reply. Is the fur removable ? Also does stuff stick to your hoodie/tee when u wear it w the jacket ?
Yes the fur is removable, it can be unzipped, which is what you should do if you dry clean it. And no I have not had any problems with things sticking when wearing the jacket
@@Mycraftcapt520 I'm 6'6 and around the same weight (bit heavier and out of shape). XL fits me good though.
ousgotswag. thanks guys I ended up getting a large and it fits me perfectttttttt!
Hello, what size parka are you wearing in the video? And what height and weight are you measuring in the video?
Hey I have a small fusion fit langford parka. im 6'1 - i cant remember the exaxt weight i was in the video but im currently 155lbs and it fits good. ive been as high as 165 and still fits comfortably.
Perfect thank you I am the same height and weight. and I hesitated between small and medium
Can I choose the colour of the fur on my coats online?
No unfortunately you can’t.
Hey I’m 5’9” about 140 what size would you recommend?
I would go xs fusion fit… if you want a shorter cut you could do the chiliwack instead of the Langford parka.
hey man, I'm 5'10 and I weigh about 172 lbs with a 31-32 waist. Im trying to decide either a Langford fusion or a Langford reg. would a small Langford fusion fit me? they only have size small left on the silver batch color
I would personally go for a Langford reg. I’m 6 feet, similar waist as you, and at my heaviest weighed 165, which I find the jacket more snug than I would like. I am at 155 rn and a small fusion fit is comfortable for me. So I would suggest a Langford reg so you have more room in the chest.
@@chonger thanks man! so I'll go for a Langford reg small then? or a medium? I dont like it when its too snug as well
Sorry, It has been a while since I’ve tried on cg jackets, but I think a small regular will almost be a slimmer fit for your build, whereas If you want a more relaxed fit a medium would be better
@@chonger cool thanks for insight! really appreciate it! I'll decide between a reg medium or a fusion large
super random but did you end up with fusion large or reg medium? I'm also debating this right now lol@@josephdhuang
How much did you pay? And where did you purchase it from
I purchased my Canada goose from the Toronto store for ~1,100 CAD I believe... that was a few years ago. However that jacket needed to be repaired by Canada goose, so they just sent me a brand new one instead (the red one shown in this video)
How tall are you and what size jacket are you wearing here ?
I am 6 foot 1 and it’s a small fusion fit Langford parka
I’m about 5’6 5’7 and I’m about 160 what size would you recommend?
I am 6 feet and 165lbs, and I am a small fusion fit. So I would suggest either a xs or small
You can get other jackets that offer the same protection for much less
@@Passions lol exactly
Its for the flex
Diffrence between fusion fit to slim fit or just normal fit?
Hey, it seems that they have changed the site since I purchased my jacket a few years ago. Now, it seems that they have jackets that are “slim” (ex. Langford), “regular” (chilliwack bomber), and “relaxed” (expedition parka). For the ones that are fusion fit, those are slightly smaller (shorter sleeves, narrower chest, shorter hem etc.) so inherently that would make it slimmer. So if you take a fusion fit of an already slim jacket (like the Langford), the fusion fit will be slightly narrower and shorter. Hope that makes sense.
Appreciate the response thank you ive liked and subscribed 👌
@@easyes3449 thank you, let me know if you have any other questions!
I'm 5'7 and 140lbs what size would u recommend and I would want the coat to last me atleast 4 or 5 years
i would recommend an xs fusion fit langford parka, since i have a small langford fusion fit and it fits me well at 155 and 6'1... the good thing about these jackets is they have a lifetime warranty, so i initially had a black jacket that the zipper broke and some feathers were leaking, so they just gave me a brand new one (the red one)
Ive got a medium but its tight on back im 6ft 1 and 148.4 pounds idk what size i need ?
For a less tight fit, should not get fusion fit. I am 6ft 1 and 150 and wear a regular medium Wyndham now.
@chonger ahhh ok but if I was to go for thr fusion would it have to be large cause the fusion is perfect length off the langford
@chonger how did it feel on you cause I think I have a wider chest then belly so idk what to do cause they either way to big or a bit tight
@@mikeygriffiths2868 I had a small fusion fit (I bought it when I was only 130lbs) and it was fairly tight on me now. My size now would be a large fusion fit like you say. I prefer non fusion fit since it is a bit longer, and since you are 6’1 as well wouldn’t you want a jacket that isn’t as short ?
@chonger see its weird cause the length isn't bad so idk just evey coat I tried on they're either tight or big so dk if I can get the bottom tailord
I wish I had bought a fusion fit langford parka instead of the regular langford parka. Its bulky look is not nice😔
Yea I like fusion fit way more for sure
@@chonger Yeah the bulky look of the regular langford parka is not nice and now I'm dissapointed because it cost me €950😔
Oh damn I thought they were expensive in Canada haha but wow 950 euros is steep!
@@chonger What does it cost in canada?
1150 cad + 12% tax (in bc) so like 1288... 950 euros translates to like 1485 cad
What does slim fit and fusion fit mean ?
some jackets are marked as a slim fit on their website, such as the langford parka... fusion fit is an even smaller fit to jacket model, in which the chest is smaller, shorter sleeve length, shorter hem length, etc.
I’m 6’2 and I would not recommend fusion fit to anyone. My XL fusion fit chilliwack is short on the sleeves while a XL slim fit lodge hoody is fine. I don’t understand how people over 6 foot can wear a fusion fit….
Chilliwacks are bombers which are shorter. The jacket in the video was a Langford so it’s longer. I can’t speak too much about sizing on chilliwacks since I don’t own one and have only tried it on in store, but honestly don’t remeber how it fit since that was like 4 years ago. But I can say that fusion fit Langford parkas are fine for people over 6 feet, as I am 6’1.
We want to see the jacket too, not hear you talk for 9 minutes straight..
bro your fur looks terrible, you should have chosen a better fur
I didn’t get an option, this was my replacement one 😢
It’s not worth it too because of how many lives are taken down.
Stfu wetwipe
fusion fit sucks. less fur and less fill
No more fusion fit for me. I’m so much happier with how my Canada Goose fits
@@chonger you went with regular small?
@@ValFinale I went with regular medium. My new jacket is a Wyndham. But I also tried a regular medium in Langford and a regular small in Langford. For Langford I like the look more a bit tailored so i would go with regular small (instead of regular medium, but personal preference) but I agree fusion fit small is too small
@@chonger yes i agree with your size choices exactly. I’m 5”5 145 lbs 37” chest 31”-32” waist and feel i would go same as you. I just cant decide what jacket i want. I’m aftraid the regular langford will be too long no?
@@ValFinale the regular and fusion fit hem length is maybe only like 1 inch longer. If you are worried about length of jacket there is also the chilliwack bomber which is shorter
