What’s your favourite parka?
So glad I bought two Canada Goose Expedition parkas for my wife and I. Minnesota winters are brutal cold. I love the way the fur protects me from the winds of blizzards. We live out in the country and it is a long walk to get the mail every day. This parka gets the job done.
Ya definitely good in tough wintery conditions! Glad you guys like them!!!
I was considering splurging on my first Canada goose and this video was so helpful! I also LOVE ur enthusiasm
I’m glad that you found the video helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope you like your Canada goose, if you end up getting one!
I like ur thoughts about fur.
I’ve been sporting a nice north face parka here in Kansas city for the last 4 yrs..Just ordered an Emory CG parka..hopefully it fits good! Got the wife a Loretta parka for Christmas. Hopefully she doesn’t read this 😒
Hope you both like them!!
Hi chonger, do you think the expedition is ok for Vancouver and Toronto weather or is it too much? I don’t plan on layering inside.
I think you could get some usage out of it. In Vancouver I typically wear my parka from October/November to about March/April depending on the weather. One thing that I found is that the usage of my Langford parka fusion fit was shorter because I found that jacket more warmer as it was more insulating cuz it was slimmer. Now that I have my Wyndham parka and it fits looser I don’t find it as warm in if I leave the jacket unzipped as air is able to circulate in. So my thoughts are since the expedition being oversized, you might be able to get away with wearing it a lot of times if you leave unzipped. I hope my explanation made sense haha
For me Mackage, UBR, Triple F.a.t Goose, Moose Knuckles looks better and also are very warm
I got one. Very warm.
Ya good with just a t-shirt underneath
The Lululemon Wunderpuff does use down, in fact it uses goose down rather than the duck down of Canada Goose. Most top fashion brands make down jackets, even Adidas does a goose down jacket.
Yea lululemon is a good option and they have the performance return if something does go wrong.
How does the wyndham fit? Im a 5'11 200lbs male with a muscular build and im unsure whether I should go with a large or xl? Are the sleeves slim?
For reference I’m 6’1 150lbs. The Wyndham fits true to size more or less. I can fit into a large if I want more of an oversized look, so I would recommend xl for you. I would say interior of sleeves are on slimmer side even tho the jacket has a more puffy look
im 6‘0 97kg and got a Chateu in XL fits very good, hope it helps
If you go to their website and dial in all your specs it recommends the size you should get. We’re about the same size and it said to get XL.
NY based and im thinking of purchasing an expedition, just dont know if i should go with the regular or the heritage (w fur), anyone have any pointers that can help me choose?
I personally like the non heritage, as it has the backpack straps. Also i think it looks modern. As well, I personally don’t like the look with fur, but I understand it does have some functional benefits.
Go with the Fur/Heritage. For added warmth for your head. Besides CG discontinued all furs, so grab it while its still available. Some furs are detachable, so just remove it if you dont feel like wearing it- RT/New York
Its a great coat and a lifetime coat but do remember it will be VERY warm. I wore my Heli Arctic Canada Goose coat (similar) in -40 with just a t shirt underneath. If your body runs warm like me just keep that in mind. The real fur does keep your breath from freezing on your face, fake fur does not.
Everyone has a Canada goose??? Only seen 1 time person wearing one
Oh really whereabouts do you live? In Vancouver I see them everywhere
In UK they are everywhere despite the price. The patch looks childish though...
'Wearing fur is tacky' ok...
🇨🇦🦆
The duck is appropriate as they're filled with duck down, not goose down.
Of course you’d say it’s worth it. You practically have owned 3 different jackets for the price of one, each with different colour and style. I wonder what’s gonna break or tear with your current jacket next year?
Ya I wonder what will happen with this jacket, but I’m optimistic it will last
😂 the implications
So you bought 1 jacket and got 3 different jackets. This is the problem with lifetime warranties, you get people that will abuse it.
It’s not my fault they wanted to send a replacement instead of repairing it
How easy was it the have the jacket repaired/replaced? I have 2 jackets.
One has the same down escaping problem with a bad zipper
And the second has the same cuff problem!
How was he abusing it? You have to send it in to do a claim and they decide what they’re going to do. They’ll tell you if it’s not covered
@@Livefreepeace if you go to the Canada goose store they will give you a code for a free shipping label, it will also have instructions on how to send off. But pretty much you make an account on the warranty site and fill in the info and then you send it off. It takes about 3-4 weeks.
@@SalinaStarr I was lucky, my fiancée sent her Canada goose off for some stitching issues, but hers just got repaired (but still covered)
YOu just lucky and got new replacement vs repair.
the fur is for the wind guy
Ya I’m not saying it doesn’t have functional purpose, but the wind in Vancouver not affecting me so bad that I need it
For $1950, you could've gotten 3 heavy duty North Face coats... They're like $600, and keep you just as warm as a CG, but I will say this, CG's are better looking in my opinion. Right now, I have a Marmot (heavy duty) and I paid $500 for it. It's going on year 4 and no signs of wear and tear at all. Sometimes the bulk of the Marmot gets annoying, but it keeps me super warm.
Why buy so much in excess. Trend is to be more sustainable. More excess clothes is not great for the environment. Plus storing all those down jackets
might have to get another??? but sad how they dont use real fur anymore
There still is the heritage models tho. But ya that’s a trade off with the newer models, no fur if that is a preference of yours or not
Man, you took advantage of Canada goose
who has this many issues wtth CG quality? something doesn't smell right...
Not everyone because they are expensive
The newer CG jackets now are underfilled and lower quality. Not worth buying anymore. He only got replacements because his other jackets couldn’t be repaired so it isn’t his fault. When I sent mine in it got patched up and sent back.
I think they are reading feedback that their typical clientele - high income earners. Don’t typically stand out in the cold they go from one indoor place to another and typically don’t need it to be that warm in the city. I personally don’t need it that filled up -20 degree Celsius eating is fine enough for me
Wtf? Lifetime warranty or not...any coat that costs this much should not need a warranty situation...not in 2 years!!
Ya that is true
They don't even have furr on their coats, not watching this crap
It way too expensive
Expensive, but good value imo
Are we forgetting about the anti fur movement? animals suffered for our hipster "I got one too" egos and ideologies.
And originally CG borrowed First Nations knowledge about real fur as it prevents your breath from freezing on your face in extreme cold.
The jackets are not near what they are rated. They are famous for not letting you return the coats even within 30 days. Buyer beware. This company does not stand by their products. This is not Patagonia. It’s fashion, not function. Horrible customer service.
Canada Goose Quality is Not Good Anymore Either. Moose Knuckles is Better Quality
Agree
Try Rab brand jacket there mountain wear outdoor clothes and there better made and a lot warmer than any Canada goose if you do for the Rab valance it's fully waterproof and 850 RMS goose down and cost around £300
Thanks, I have a hunch Canada Goose is in financial trouble after watching them deny returns after Christmas. I've never seen customer service that bad on an expensive brand that should stand by their product and policies. And to your point... it's not a great jacket, but sure does look good. But that only goes so far. @@davidwilson9568

Hi Chonger I'm not impressed with the quality control of Canada Goose in general . I really like your Russian text sweater .
Ya it is a bit concerning that I’ve had to submit three warranty claims, and I have known other people who needed to as well. At least there is the lifetime warranty to give me some piece of mind. Thanks ! It’s heron Preston, my wife found it for me at 60% off
@@chonger I’ve also heard of friends who never had to submit any warranty claims. Everyone I talked to had no issues that’s after many years or wear. Speaking from the women I know with various styles so it might just be your model
@@Jayl__ I think it’s just the Langford model or any model that has Velcro around the zippers. Cuz that will cause the sleeves to wear over time
@@chonger yeah I think important to note that in your replies so it’s not a prevalent issue across all of their items.
