I wear my North Face because im scared of getting mugged when I wear my Canada Goose outside in Chicago
Are they still doing that in Chicago ? Mugging for Canada Goose jackets .
same thing here in NY
Get a gun
In detroit they will kill you for a canada goose and some buffs i love my city
How about buying a gun.
All I know is that I enjoy watching videos of people doing extreme outdoors stuff. Like climbing Everest or K2. They all wear north face. I appreciate that a lot of it is probably sponsored gear, but regardless, they are literally surviving a blizzard on the side of a huge mountain in north face. That’s good enough for me around town.
Thanks for the doing the warmth test. Awesome down jacket video, would love to see more brands
Glad you find it helpful! Full video is out now where I review a total of 10 down jacket brands! ruclips.net/video/c-btd2ym-gw/видео.html
Just copped the north face parka. Was gonna get a medium but after seeing a fit alittle bigger I went with a small. You confirmed the bigger fit as well. Great video!
Glad I can help, enjoy your new jacket!
How's the small fitting? Also, what is your height and weight?
I would suggest to size down. The small one fits like a medium.
@@lastcliff I’m 5’11 155-160. Sorry for the late reply ! The model was 6’2 and wearing a medium so I went with small
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.
good to know, which jacket model did you get?
Same here! I’ve had it for 20 years. Bought it at an outlet mall in Michigan for 100 bucks. Black nylon canvas like outer shell, mid thigh length, premium goose down insulation. I can only wear it on the coldest days and even then, I find I have to unzip it a little as it is too warm for this region. I have no idea why anyone needs a 1200 dollar CG or MK coat for this region except as a “look at me! I’m entitled” status symbol. Cheers for being practical!
@FLFBS PhatBoy Blue 100% agree, these brands have turned into a status symbol although if you have the cash to spend go right ahead...IMO
@@MensFashionFiles It’s their full length black classic parka. Don’t know style name but it’s classic styling with the hood and faux fur. Down filled and indestructible. It’s still in their catalog and I saw them at Tangers Outlet store last week. I used to work in the same building as Canadian Goose and even during their sample sales I just couldn’t justify the amount of money they were selling those parkas for..
@@bflathead I have that same jacket and it's quality too!!!
When I first saw the chiliwack it was 800 in like 2010. I bought a mcmurdo in 2019 and it’s literally the reason I look forward to the winter. I bought it for the functionality, not to style necessarily. But it looks good as well. Canada goose to me also turned into too much of a fashion and status statement i didn’t want to represent.
Chilliwack wasn’t 800 in 2010..
@@H0rseMac yeah bud it definitely wasn’t todays 1300 and I was probably thinking of a bigger coat when I said that
Bruh, you're telling me you wear tnf but don't wear canada goose because they "turned too much of a fashion and status statement" My brother in christ, tnf x gucci, tnf x supreme, tnf x kaws, tnf x undercover. And you tell me that the same brand who collaborated with other fashion brands, the same brand that doesn't use gore-tex and instead developed it's in-house waterproof windproof membrane to save on costs while being inferior isn't too much of a fashion and status statement? Just get ar'cteryx
@@danylol772 you have a choosy way of responding and this is all I care to give
$1500 is a lot to spend on a jacket. You can get a North Face or Patagonia jacket for around 1/5 of the price and it will be just as durable. Many of the Polo Ralph Lauren down jackets I noticed have around 650 or 700 fill which I assume is pretty standard for down jackets.
Just ordered a brand new mcmurda because I needed an upgrade. The NF parka that i own i have bought back in 2006 and it has been through it all and still going. I just needed a cosmetic upgrade, plus, i lost my fur lining for the hood.
So overall, NF all the way
I've had a couple northfaces supposedly the warmest ones and none have held up at all in extreme cold and wind , I ordered a pajar and it's the absolute best ,no wind goes thru and neither does the cold
Thanks for the review. great video
Great review. Would love to see you test a bunch of parkas.
If u value the warmness the most, go for Columbia Omni Heat jacket!
depends on your needs/activity level. I don't do any activities anymore except walk to my car and office or store in winter. So to me even a North Face jacket is too expensive. I bought a really warm Columbia Jacket (water proof shell, and thick down innner jacket) for $160 at the end of the season. Whereas, twenty five years ago I bought a North Face Gortex Shell and thick fleece inner jacket that cost me $500.
Owner of 5 McMurdo jackets, and there have been slight feature changes over the years but all of them I have found to be EXTREMELY warm. Wearing this coat in 39° F I would sweat to death, I dont even pull these out of the closet unless its 15°F or colder. Would love to try a Canada Goose at somepoint but dont have any expectation that it will perform much differently to justify the high price, more of a luxury item.
Man you love that North Face !! Did you do several different colors ?
Maybe, but one has to wonder why you actually found it necessary to buy so many of the very same coat. Don't get me wrong, I have more than just one winter coat but none of them are the very same winter coat and many are for wearing in different temperatures ranges or at least for different purposes.
@@DanDrees No different than owning multiples of anything. Different colors. Different uses. Few colors for going out, a jacket in a larger size for layering in the bush. etc. I've purchased 2 identical jackets before due to loving my first one, and now I have one for general and working use and one for going out thats clean.
I've had both 12+ years and I like them both. The North face Mcmurdo is a more useful temperature range and better pockets. The goose is only -20 and below and when you need to stand around a lot as it's so pooffy it's more difficult to do physical work while wearing. I payed 250 for the NF and 475$ for the resolute in 2005.
Ps. I wouldn't spend 1400 plus tax on a jacket for work. Canada goose used to be the working jacket of the north but sold out their arctic heritage for a fickle fashion.
Some of canada goose jackets are more about warmth than fashion like their expedition jacket. But overall I agree, fashion sells more than function
Thrift shopping, I grab anything goose down and especially eiderdown. You can always gut the item and stuff pillows and duvets.
I see people around its five degrees outside they think it's cold and spent £ 1500 on a jacket 😂😂
Canada Goose is on another level. Wore it once at their store and now really considering to buy it.
When reviewing I would do an activity and have hood on and see if there a difference between temperature 😁
Plenty of Canada Goose on ebay many with receipts.. I copped 3 jackets none over £360 and the quality of all materials and fine details are spot on inline with my similar Selfridges bought Woolwich parkas. (Middle aged man sadly addicted to buying clothes )
it is too warm for both them jackets. do it blow freezing. but your assessment is correct. the northface is warmer. only by a little bit.
I'm doing some jacket shopping for weather that could get to -30 or 40 degrees celcius. Tried on quite a few brands. Yeah I was also disappointed with the McMurdo. It doesn't have the ribbed cuffs, and the hood is absolutely huge. There is now way to attach the fur more back. It just blocks your vision too much and just like the jacket, it is too big overall. Just seems a little sloppy. But I will try a size smaller in the future. It did seem to be filled nicely though and was evident it would be very warm. Canada Goose to me did not feel like it would stand up to temperatures as claimed. It felt too thin. $200 difference for the CG with fur? Seems to be all about the brand now. Tried on a Moose Knuckles, and man was I amazed. When I put it on it on it looked so much more incredible, along with how amazing it felt. I was really feeling the heat just from trying on some of their jackets, whereas I didn't really get hot in-store trying on the other brands. It was just ever slightly tight around the shoulder area if you need to move your arms in a more mobile way, but the next size up just didn't look as sharp. The MK just needed a little more functionality. Like a few more pockets, and possibly some zippered vents built in. I don't want to feel like I'm cutting myself short with a top of the line jacket. But that's been a critique for most jackets thus far in some way. Mackage looked good and took things in its own direction while also looking discreet. It just didn't have as much pop as MK, was a little more expensive, but didn't hit as hard imo. I ended up trying on Eddie Bauer at the end while it was on sale. The parka wasn't too long which i liked. Rated as waterproofed (which none of the more expensive jackets were). And had lots of pockets. It did seem to have a cheaper build quality though. But I will see how it goes with it. I can also be more adventurous with this cheaper jacket and not worry about damaging it compared to the top-priced brands. I'm eager to try on Point Zero too. Part of me still wants to pick up the MK that I tried on. Navy blue with black fur. And it didn't look pretentious. Had flash but done right with class that stemmed largely from quality and not gimmicky design. MK might stop using real fur in the future. I'd see it as an investment to buy now as well or at least I'd be able to resell it for a decent price if I choose to. Just my 2 cents to add a little bit for discussion here!
Excellent video, very well edited
appreciate it!
Just want to say your temperature would not be changed in a short while outside no matter whichever jacket you wear. Your body will produce enough energy to keep it warm at the fixed temperature of more or less 37 degrees.
great review man absolutely the best on youtube there is not much info on these expensive jackets... i would love to see a review of the mountain hardware absolute zero parka also the mammut photics insulated jacket!! i am completely stuck i dont know which to buy the prices are literally the same but completely different builds on both jackets. anyway i hope you see this and possibly consider this review in the future
Thanks for the recommendation. I haven’t tried those brands yet but I’ll add those to my list!
@@MensFashionFiles heck yeah! That’s exciting I’m gonna be on the look out for that. No rush man nooo rush! I’ll be here in 2025 too lol
At a zero C or 4th plus you don’t need a down jacket, but also almost all jacket will function then. But when it gets 12 minus or colder, then material will shift. A jacket that might worked fine until then can stark being supercold cause the material start to freeze. And you won’t know it until it happens.
One thing I learned, feels like to me there are two ways you wanna layer up. When your moving around, maybe just use the coat, along with your t-shirt. Since you'll be moving around and generating more warmth. Where how you tested it. Maybe adding a sweater would keep you warmer since your not moving around, if at all. Last thing you wanna do is over layer up and start sweating. All depends on what your doing I guess.
Good tips for sure, will keep your advice in mind when i do a part 2
I ordered a McMurdo online, tried it on, and returned it today. My true size is Medium, but the medium fit more like a large or XL. Really strange sizing, even when considering layering under it
Yea with north face you have to size down but its annoying because i have the McMurdo in XS and it fits but the hood is to small lol
Similar for me im XL in all clothing and ordered a size down to an L and its still a little on the large fitting
@@manchuk1d Interesting. I have never seen a NF that is below S. I mean at an actual store to try on.
@@lactran7475 me too, i think its just online only.
I think that's common in Parkas honestly. I have a Carhartt Parka, and Columbia Parka, North Face Parka, and I'm 6ft 220lbs and I wear an XL in everything except Parkas I'm a Medium haha. But my other Columbia jacket is an XL. And my regular North face is a L.
I got this jacket in all black right before Christmas on sale for $252. I think it’s a great deal and very warm.
$252 is an awesome deal. Hope you liking your north face
I just ordered the North face jacket for my boyfriend. He's usually a medium but I sized down to small since apparently it fits a but large. I'm hoping it fits him perfectly.
Hey, how did the jacket fit him? I’m currently trying to decide on a medium or small.
You need to review the “Outdoor Survival Canada “ jackets.
Rated for -40
You have to look at the down and fill power as well, there duck’s and goose’s down and also the combination of down/feather such as 90/10 and most in the market are 80/20, and the fill power 550-700 is all you need depends where you live. A thousand dollars for a brand tag, no kidding.
I grabbed a parka from the Eddie Bauer site like around xmas, when there was a sale. The Superior Down Parka was $160 and its close cousin the B9 down parka was $178. Both down from like $350! 😵 I copped the B9 instantly
thats a steal!
@Men's Fashion Files that's what I said!...but my wife found the purchase a bit outrageous since we live in Texas 😅🤣 but it will last forever basically since it will rarely get use every year even if i travel lol....still I couldn't pass up on the deal and the wife had bought her own Northface jacket at $150, soooo I pulled the trigger for my own at a great deal 😬😬
I own a North Face Gotham #1 since about 15 years. Was looking to update for the new model, the McMurdo, but the quality is now so cheap (no zip for the faux-fur hood, no outside middle chest pocket, interior chest pocket has no hole for headphones, sleeves doesn't have cuffs) that I'll probably go with another brand. It's sad that the North Face went that way with cheaper products.
I live in NYC and i wear my North Face with a t shirt underneath. But that is NYC cold weather.. Anything up north like (Buffalo or Canada) idk!.
I prefer Canada Goose, as it smoother on my Gold and Platinum Rolex…
No, but seriously.
No coat is warm, you put any garment on when you are cold,and the jacket will just insulate the cold. It’s best to put the jacket on when you are warm, as your warmth is what makes the filling warm. You are then insulated from the outside cold.
Layers,and a hot meal, is what makes you warm. The jacket just insulates.
My German Army Issue ‘Parka’, which was made in 1977 and I bought in 1986, from a Surplus shop is just as warm as any of these, with the correct layering.
Think I paid £8.00 for it.
Apparently, it’s ‘retro and trendy’ now, too.
All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧
Get a size down ..i got the XS , it fits perfect
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. Still, I mostly use a down lawyer with a goretex technical shell. Hard to beat.
Dope, dope brand! Thanks for the recommendation I just checked out Shackleton.
thanks man I just brought one jacket online thank you so much for the recommendation
thanks man, shackleton jackets look so stylish
Agree. If you’re gonna spend stupid money on a coat, get one that lives up the the price level and won’t get you mugged over.
Yeah not worth it, took a look at their website and they are charging 1600 dollars for a jacket that’s not even fully waterproof.
Honestly, I was all about the brands but if you life in the city or within the city proper these jackets will never be pushed to their limits. Not saying they are bad jackets, they are amazing, but I rather save a few 100s and allocate it elsewhere. Ty for the review.
Good comparison. Thanks.
Great video. Wondering where you got those pants you are wearing?
Its from a brand called BlackTailor, check out my review here: ruclips.net/video/U_ljKJIxeX4/видео.html
How does the new furless wyndham fit compared to the heritage? It seems like the new version fits slightly smaller
Literally came here for the review cuz I just got my first CG jacket and am too paranoid to wear it cuz ppl getting mug in sketch areas, but then I got distracted with the wallet ad cuz I’m sponsored by Ekster too 😂
You need to be comparing the McMurdo to the TEI4 rated and more popular Canada Goose jackets. They use a different fill in the TEI3 compared to the TEI4. The Wyndham is rated TEI3 and clearly not as warm. You were basically comparing North Face’s mid - high range parka to Canada Goose’s low range parka.
You also need to consider other factors as for the higher price like offering a lifetime warranty and being manufactured in Canada as opposed to TNF being manufactured in countries like China, Bangladesh, Vietnam etc.
Lol made in Canada is worthless. You're just paying for lack of infrastructure and inefficiency. Not quality or craftsmanship
in clothing business , first level sales mark up is 7 - 8 times , that means you pay that ( not on sales ) clothes in Big Name store all your money go to their profit ( almost ) , it is why we normally see ( on sales items ) can have 30 - 50 % deep discount . ( even in half of the price company still will make good profit ) . after all , this is how clothing business lives !
let's not forget even if they are manufactured in Canada it is possibly being made by Chinese, Indian or Vietnamese...
@@Nick-jp8ux @
you means Canadian not doing any works ?
you don't know that even they are Chinese , Indian or Vietnamese workers they can be legal Canadian now ; no more related with that shitty China , India or Vietnam ?
TNF offers a lifetime warranty.
Idk why this popped up on my profile to watch, but it’s a good video. I own around 6 North face jackets and 2 are Mc Murdo style parkas along with a few summit series parkas. They are all good jackets/ parkas and served me well. I layer mine and they keep me cozier than most others. The Canada goose parkas are nice, but I am biased to North face from having them since I’ve been a teenager. Also I see the comments mention Eddie Bauer Parker’s. I used to own a ed tel parka and that was well made also and warm. I sold it over 12 years ago but can attest it was a well made jacket. Canada goose is definitely over priced imo c)pared to north face and other brands that provide the same goal of warmth
I have 7 North Face Jackets, picked them up when they were on sales at 50% off. They are so warm even when we were below -30. I do not think Canada Goose worth over $1000.
great deal!
Very good, detailed review as always. However, I think you should compare with a TEI4 jacket (Chateau parka, at TEI4, is actually the same price as the Wyndham). My issue with the North Face is that they run very big. Their smallest size is S which is way to big for me. I came to CG (got S and XS depending on the line) and could not be happier. I love snug, slim cut down jackets, and the look, the fit alone worth the extra $1K as there is no substitute, and the "made in Canada" part worth another $500. I am willing to pay extra (as much as I can afford) to get things that are made in the USA, Canada, France, Italy, the UK, Germany or Japan, which are very rare these days.
Fit alone is worth an EXTRA GRAND? Maybe it it’s the only jacket in the world that fits right.
I bet most of the things your using is made in China anyways😅
looking good aint cheap! thanks for watching my man
@@beijingbikinikill8608 There is no right or wrong answer to this. I bought many jackets, and while they all kept me warm, I was not completely satisfied. The amount I spent on all of them actually exceeded what I pay to a CG jacket, but I ended up loving my GC and have been wearing it most of the time, so I ended up buying another GC. That is what I mean by "no substitute". Value cannot be measured. To me, value is when one can get the most out of the product, and that is what I get from my GC: fits me well, is stylist but not fashionable, and is versatile (I can wear my GC Carson parka over a T-shirt of a suit without looking like a Michelin guy).
@@sanny.g That is true, and I do not have any issue with that. Being said, Western brands move their manufacturing to developing countries to reduce costs, meaning I would basically pay just for the logo should the product is priced the same, or close to, what is produced at their home countries. In fact, a consider number of my clothing items are made in the USA and Italy, as I do look for where they are made when making my purchases.
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
$200 for wool underwear?? 😅 I rather pay $100 for jacket and $10 for underwear and spend the rest on a good electric scooter to get me around
Bought the mcmurdo for this winter storm that just hit for $280. Absolute beast when I layered a normal long sleeve under it. Well worth the price
Same dude just bought a McMurdo yesterday and it handled the wind and cold like a champ
return it now. and tell the cashier you want to rebuy it and use the code : Extra20. you will get additional 20% off on top of 30% off.
As someone who worked for North Face before, I always got more than 60% off brand new in season North Face items. The same can be said towards Canada Goose. They’re not worth getting it at full price, buy them on clearance or buy previous seasons.
I have both brands, and the Canada Goose is warmer, in my opinion.
Great review! Can you share how tall you are in cm, for reference, please? Thanks
Get a Eddie Bauer when is on clearance around Jan. Got my dad one last year for $150 keeps him warm and cozy during the snowstorm we had in Vancouver BC in Dec.
*correction. You fold the fur back when the wind his high. You fold it forward when it's raining. That way the fur doesn't get too wet.
Great info
When you did the warmth test you moved about this could affect your body temperature. I suggest next you stay put in one place to make the test more accurate.
good tip, i will do that for my next video
When you bought a pair of 501 Levi jeans or any other Levi jeans, did you have to size up or down, or did you pick your exact waist size and inseam?
I went TTS but I recommend going up a waist size for the 501. In my experience, it fit a bit too slim for my liking
So much good details in this video. I also prefer the look of the Canada Goose jacket. The north face looks a bit sloppy imo. But I gotta think twice about that ~$1k price difference
designer shit is worth it im tell u. the quality is hellava
@@bloodomen2794 quality is def better but i think after a certain price point, youre just paying extra for the brand
@@JasonGss u right
@@bloodomen2794 yet Canada goose uses cheaper down materials then the north face parka lol. For 1000 dollars more. You’re only paying for the brand
@@user-um3fx2vk8r ik. i just wasted 400 on a alyx puffer jacket. i paid for the brand dawg. its a plain jacket just with rollercoaster seatbelt around the neck
Try comparing a north face to the citadel\ expedition or the snow mantra!.....
I quite agree with this test. CG definitely look way more stylish. Functionality wise - NF wins easily. CG is too expensive in my opinion (it is a bit of a hype at the moment).
I'd zuk dik for canada goose. I need to be warm in the winter but being poor sucks.
Bit of a hype? That’s an understatement. The coats are overpriced, under quality, fashionista status symbols for the insecure.
Its not often that North Face is considered a bargain.
Here's where I have a problem with both jackets and their pricepoint (North Face less so)
600 fill power is about the starting point for warmth insulation. Fill power can exceed 1000.
Canadian Goose is 625 Fill power, and 80/20 down/feather distribution. Honestly, this jacket shouldn't cost a fraction of what it is with these specs.
The REI Stormhenge Down Hybrid Jacket is on sale for $154.93, waterproof, windproof, 850 fill power goose down with a mix of synthetic insulation.
The Parka version is on sale for about $20 more, just a parka fit alternative (and of course different color options).
Personally, I wouldn't go with either unless you absolutely need this warmth with additional layers.
The best way is a base layer, warmth fleece or synthetic warmth layer, high fill power puffy and rain parka. You essentially create a 2-in-1 with rain/wind protection and warmth, and a waterproof/windproof parka amplifies the warmth of a puffy jacket. One important thing to keep in mind is you should never wear a down puffy jacket in the rain, always cover it with a waterproof shell, and should generally never get it wet even from sweat(which also req. special care for washing). This is the purpose of the base layer and synthetic warmth under layer. I personally have a REI Magma 850 down puffy (and a couple of others from other brands) and about 5 different rain jackets to choose from, but my favorite is probably my North Face Venture 2 in grey. I believe in this combo, it was something around $420 combined. Its a system and it just works.
You can always peel off the puffy and compress pack it away or if there's no rain, shed the waterproof parka.
I am originally from the upper Midwest (Marquette Michigan) which receives some of the worst winters in the US but I've lived in EU for about 14yrs now.
This has been my experience of what is the best setup for extreme cold, but also cold and wet as it is here today in Belgium (~7C/45F but with the wind feeling like 2C/34F and both windy and rainy) which can be absolutely miserable if you have to be out in it.
That’s why Canada Goose is considered more of a luxury brand rather than your standard brand most people would use
The fill power doesn't mean anything if they use less of it. You can have 1200 fill power down but only put a sliver of it in the baffles and freeze to death. It's a marketing metric, not a real predictor of warmth.
Canada Goose used to be absolutely function based: well made in small quantities, down-based warmth for extreme cold environments, fur-based hoods for the microclimate benefits specific to survival duration. They are now urban fashion-based. How do you spot a tourist in Iqaluit? Look for the people wearing Canada Goose clothing.
I’m 5.10 180 pounds broad shoulders do you think medium size is good for me?Thank you so much.
I happened to have a North Face and a Canada Goose, both of which are worn out in one way or another. After contacting Canada Goose, I was advised that I could mail to them the Expedition for inspection, either for replacement or for repair. Inspection results came out a few days later, telling me to pay around 50 bucks dry cleaning fee. Following the payment, all the problems with my Canada Goose are being fixed, trimming, stichings, worn out zipper, pipings, waist drawcord, cap drawcord and furs repalcements, and etc. Lifeitime warrenty for CG, amazing! My worn-out North Face, however, stays there, dead, if it is the right word. Therefore, I would recommend Canada Goose, even in terms of its price!
Bro have you used TNF warranty? It also claims lifetime
@@chadeli8271 the thing is north face wont cover worn out parts.
Lifetime warranty people! That means your lifetime if it ever goes bad they will repair or replace. Do the math and you will chose Canada Goose.
And also
I live in Canada
I wear Canada goose bc they’re made in Canada
@@SavageVoyageur For that kind of coin, I can buy 5 or more Eddie Bauer premium down parkas over my life time. Brand new and never be concerned about getting mugged for what I’m wearing. 🤣
The only downside to the north face is the synthetic fur. I've got sensitive skin and synthetic fur makes my skin break out with a slight rash
Arc’teryx Therm parka 2020, not the downgraded 2022 model. -5, windchill -9, just a short sleeve t-shirt underneath and I was walking outside for 1 hour didn’t feel any cold. Anything above -1 I have to pull the zipper a bit down to let heat out.
Definitely one of the warmer jackets. But it also look like a real winter coat. Canada Goose is more stylish and less bulky imo.
@@edntz definitely the CG looks more stylish. And Therm you need to size down once or twice.
Although I must say, the minimalist style of the Therm, and fact that CG is now very common, does make the Therm get more “looks”
@@htruth1785 It's a nice coat for sure. How warm is it? In how much degrees can you wear it outside without getting too hot?
@@edntz Rarely gets below 0 in my city during the day time, this December was the first time since I got it. So minus 5c, I felt good, my hands were freezing with gloves rated 2c.
Normally I’ll wear it 0-3c with the zipper only up to chest level. If it’s very windy and raining I might wear it up to 7c but that’s mostly just for the waterproof. TBH, most the time for my city it’s overkill. Only been 5 days in 2 years where I felt it was genuinely needed over my puffer coats.
Should be noted that the 2022 model has been revised and is probably not as warm because they’ve made it lighter and released the Therme SV which is more like the older Therme but a bit longer.
if youre interested, check out my review of the Arc'teryx Atom AR: ruclips.net/video/dPPiAN4gO9w/видео.html
Eddie Bauer Superior Down is probably the best bang for buck warmest parka on the market.
On the Canadian the inner pockets look like they were designed to carry Nalgene bottles, so water doesn't freeze
didnt know that, thanks for the info!
I own two Canada Goose items ; a Chiliwack bomber and a Forester , I have yet to test them in cold . The CG are well made , but , North Face is better value for sure!! Looks like a Green Mcmurdo is a future purchase.
Awesome collection you got there. I really like the minimalist look of the Canada goose forester jacket. Green Mcmurdo is a great choice!
@@MensFashionFileshanks for reply . Keep up the awesome content 🙏🏽actually after visit to REI Outdoor Store abs trying the Fjallraven Nuuk in green that will be my next jacket .
To all you people that think Canada Goose is not worth it, try spending a winter in Minnesota, or in Canada or north of the 49th parallel. Yah its worth it.
4°C and already a need for parka? Most people wear a wool pullover or light jacket at that temperature scale, I am jogging with T shirt. I have got CG parka for 500 CAD in New Brunswick and it is used for -20 C and lower... always toasty.
Hy nice video. Can you compare woolrich too ?
Just bought Canada Goose Gillet,, copy in blue £80. ..
Saving £500
Where are they made though?
Canada goose, with Duck down, oh boy, TNF is goose down. McMurdo is a beast, to warm for England, I found, I prefer the Gotham.
Did you have an issue with the fluffiness? Just got this in the mail its super thin in comparison to my woolford
Honestly dont think its that bad. I had way more puffy like the fjallraven, check it out here: ruclips.net/video/c-btd2ym-gw/видео.html
What is the brand of your cargo pants? They look good!!
I can't justify spending $1500 for a coat. I had a NF down coat for about 8 years now and it's still going strong and only spent $300 for it. Sure there are some wear and tear but most I fixed on my won (stuck zipper on one of the pocket one example). To each their own though....if you can afford the price tag of a CG then by all means. I feel for CG, like most high end products are priced because of the name tag.
I got my zipper stuck on my North Face jacket. When I tried to get it unzipped it ripped a part some of the jacket. I sent it in to The North face headquarters and they repaired it for free. This was after 10 years. of owning the jacket. Customer service was excellent!
Canada Goose isn't much more expensive than a new iphone. And people will buy a new iphone every few years. Meanwhile a proper Canada Goose jacket will easily last you 10+ years without going obsolete. It's worth the money. But my main concern is getting the jacket stolen. Can't leave it anywhere. The gym locker, the locker a work, forget about it. You know someone will easily break the lock and steal it. That's why i'm not buying it.
@@edntz that's true but how often are you using your GC? You'll use your iphone every day for many different things...calls, text, music, videos, photos, etc.... That $1500 CG will be in the closet during the spring, summer and fall seasons. Again, to each their own and if you have the money for it then cool.
@@pbenga If you use your jacket 4 months a year, for then 10 years. That's basically 40 months, or 3.5 years of daily use. The main point is that you'll be warm and winters will be less awful. But it is expensive and there are alternative warm jackets out there. Similarly how there are alternative cheaper smart phones out there too. It all comes down to whether you can afford it and how badly you want it.
One thing I didn’t not like about the north face is the fur ruff is attached with plastic snaps that are poor quality and come off very easily. I was not impressed with that.
Canada goose. Paid my for 900 plus. The shoulder has no fill. Send the jacket 2 time both time they said it was filled but nothing change. My jacket is warm as hell at all other parts. Bit by the shoulder is is cold as there is barely any down fill. I would buy north fa e or moose knuckle
good to know, check out my review of the moose knuckles: ruclips.net/video/c-btd2ym-gw/видео.html
NORTH FACE is the Winner in all aspects . I bought ( mistake/ wasted money) couple more major brands & doesn’t fit perfectly like NF parka & short ( bummer style) NF balanced out the looks for guys below 6 footer . Totally worth it & looks great. True to size & machine wash & tumble dry with 4 tennis balls. Good as brand new. Puffy , nice. 👍🙏✔️😜❤️🇨🇦
CG LIFE TIME WARRANTY is the best 🙌
I'm 5'9 185lbs muscular build, should I get small or medium NorthFace? Most often then not will wear a hoodie underneath.
Go down a size for what you normally wear, if you get a M then its gonna fit like a large
North Face all the way! Canada Goose should be called Canada Duck, because the most of their products are made out of Duck down.
Yea the only one that properly uses goose down is the Everest expedition jacket that’s used in -40 degrees 😂
What’s wrong with duck down, their jackets are super warm
Does North Face use its face to make jackets? 😂
@@arshaypatel8898 there is nothing wrong with duck down it is a cheaper alternative to goose down and still provides good insulation, but if you are going to spend more than $1000 on a jacket goose down is the only acceptable fill to use, anything less and you are just paying for the badge.
@@LJOFive oh ok, do you any good companies that have goose down jackets, I’m looking for a good jacket right jow
I have 3 North Face jackets and 2 of them are falling apart. The one that was my 2nd purchase is still going strong. I plan to head down to Antarctica and i think it's time to get mother goose. I won't buy that version, I want the expedition cut.
Has anyone seen the video of jeffrey epstien leaving his ny mansion in a white parka with a fur hood can anyone tell what brand it is😮
Somebody who lives in Alaska and tried both these jackets in real cold situations should do this review. I personally can't understand this huge price difference even taking in consideration difference in price of labor between Asia and Canada. They don't pay 1000 bucks to somebody in Canada to make one jacket.
The body temperature doesn't change, the body adjusts itself. unless you have a fever or you're freezing.
off topic but what nike shoes are those? ty on advance 🤙

i got my north face Mcmurdo for 30% + additional 20% off from the northface store right now.
How did you get that many discounts especially the additional 20% off
@@elvst3331 too late. u cant anymore the promo is over.
@@elvst3331 there was a sale price 30% off from the actual store. and when i got into the counter i told her to run the discount code from the north face main website.
My Northface is 40 years old and going strong. Cost about 200 bucks and delivered great service in dozens of cold weather camping trips. My camping days are over but the NF keeps me toasty when sitting for hours in freezing temps with the usual layering. The Canadian gear is overpriced with out better performance. Style becomes irrelevant when it comes to staying warm and surviving in cold weather.
40 years my lord
Sure bud..sure
I gotta North Face jacket and I haven’t been disappointed. It’s warm, and it’s cheaper. Canada Goose to me is waay overrated.
I thought polyester was a bad material for being plastic and not a natural fiber
Please review Triple F.A.T. Goose Jackets!!!
will do for part 3!
Recently replaced my Canada Goose Citadel parka with a Triple FAT Goose Huron parka and I love it! So much warmer, better, and much less expensive.
Got the north face cryos expedition parka gore tex 800 fill better than Canada goose
I don't wear any of those, I get mine jackets from reseller stores like tj maxx, Marshall's, or Burlington. 😊
My goose is warmer then my face parker it's also heavier but less bulky
A Canada Goose jacket is a designer jacket. So it falls in the luxury category…like Coach bag vs Louis Vuitton. One has more “flex” factor than the other.
