From a humble winter jacket company to a megapolis in the world of jackets...how did Canada Goose do it!
Ah yes, Canada Goose. A brand people love, hate, and love to hate--BUT it is very impressive how quickly they grew into the massive thing they are today. From their Arctic Parkas down to their sweaters with the Canada Goose patch...they really have it all!
So:
Is Canada Goose worth it?
Is Canada Goose too expensive?
Are they the best winter jacket?
Are they well built?
What about coyote fur?
Those are all questions I genuinely try my best to answer. NOW BYE!!
TAH TAH!

I went to Canada in the winter and I didn't have boots so I went to the Walmart in Canada to get some. I bought a cheap pair. I noticed that all Canadian boots advertised that they had to be made to certain specifications.
Those cheap boots were the warmest ,most durable and longest lasting boots I've ever worn and I wore them as my construction boots for years.
I love Canada's high quality standards.
Oh how fascinating is that! I never knew this
Bud are u kidding me !!?

Best dry humor script writing...best confusing and simultaneously informative script writing....by Michael Kristy. Can't wait for the vlog channel to go live!
Your review has convinced me to buy a Patagonia coat. 🤟
7:30 I don't know if you notice but fur on hood keeps your eyes free from falling snow. It stops a lot of flakes so you don't need to squint your eyes.
Does it damage the furry hood?
@@dani23dani85 nope geniune fox fur can withstand temps below 0 and snow/rain
Another great one. Your videos are so fun, engaging, and educational. Cheers, man!
Good luck with the new channel! Excited to see what you put out!
TY!!
The production of your videos is top tier. I was expecting 500-600K subscribers but I my jaw dropped when I saw only 16K. Keep up the great work!
Well hey thanks so much for the kind words!
Canada loves you, Michael. I love you too. Keep up the great work.
A lady walked up to me today at Costco and asked me for money to help her feed her kids. She was wearing a Canada Goose long coat. I let her know that I had no cash on me currently but did let her know that if she were to put her coat on eBay she should be able to feed her kids for a couple of months. The language she used to tell me her thoughts on that suggestion was somewhat offensive.
Could have been a 30 dollar fake
that's a nice fake story bro. love the part where a poor person managed to get a Costco membership v cool have a like
Tell her a blowjob gets her an easy $20..
I will add that to my list of things that never happened 😂
That’s hardly true, the resale value on a Canada goose jacket after buying a new jacket to replace it is like $30
Your production quality is amazing…..please please made a video covering how you produce videos. This is absolutely world class videography skill
Absolutely love my Canada Goose Expedition parka is worth it. I live in Minnesota and it gets really cold. This parka keeps me warm where others leave me cold.
The perfect winter send off! Also we have the same middle name wow
This was one of your better videos in my opinion, you smashed it!
Heyo! Here are a few facts I didn’t fully clarify or left out by accident:
1. 650 fill dries faster than 800 fill but I don’t have an accurate exact percentage as to how much faster. Often times on down coveralls the bottoms are lower fill down (or synthetic) to aid in their drying faster as your legs will be in snow! Arcteryx does this with down composite mapping where they pick and choose where down and synthetic will go in the jacket based off wet conditions. 650 vs. 800 may not yield insane results.
2. The CG has very little water resistance! It’s DWR sprayed but there are no sealed seams or goretex. I’m not sure as to why but figure it’s because CG’s were originally for dry climates? Of course that contradicts the purpose of the lower down fill and is a big thing missing from a $1,300 jacket.
3. Please do your research on CG’s environmental impact and ethics! It’s a very hot topic with wildly different opinions so be sure to do some looking. If you want the complete opposite of CG then Patagonia is probably your best bet (maybe feathered friends too).
5. I just want to reiterate that I’m saying a CG is essentially worth it if it’s worth it to you. From a utilitarian stand point it’s not but if Made in Canada or fur trims or brand name is important to you then CG is the jacket to get. It basically always can be beat for a lower price point in all areas.
I have a certain winter jacket on its way to me now (this is borrowed) so I’ll fill you in soon.
Hope this helps! I’m not trying to shill CG just figured it’d be a fun review because they have a very significant history.
2. It’s made for COLD weather which is a dry climate as the snow doesn’t melt below -10 degree Celsius. A goretex down jacket wouldn’t be as breathable and could especially decrease insulaton of the down when wet from sweat.
I’ve heard that Canada Goose does not use goose down, but rather lower cost, lower quality duck down.
#3 tho 😂😂 I've heard somestuff about the coyote fur...
But as a Canadian I love Canada goose!! Own the expedition in a few colours, got the first in hs it has some cool fading going on
It doesn't really rain that much up here (only snow) and I don't think it's that wet at the north pole either? That's what these are used for
Mine work great all winter here
Idk how you can make point #5 about cg (which is sorta true here) only sorta
But you can't point it out (or even seem it identify it) with other Canadian brands?! When it's definitely 110% true from them?
A winter jacket doesn’t get wet from the outside, but there is a high risk of the down getting wet from sweating. The reason is that people wear excessively warm clothing when they’re active outside. Down filling is not good for sports but it’s excellent for more passive activities, if that makes sense. A water tight shell will only worsen the moist problem by keeping sweat in.
Your storytelling and film editing are so good. Well done. Interesting and entertaining.
If you're sad about winter ending, just come up to Canada. You'll get plenty of use out of your winter wardrobe.
A friend of mine worked in Antartica for a year, the company gave him one of these jackets. It must have been a super duper one, he said it was thousands of dollars. It got down to -80 and he said he was warm. When he left they took the jacket and pants back! lol We live in Florida so he didn't need it anyhow. Yep.
Quality 👌 Canada Goose is elite when it comes to extreme weather.
The big red Snow Goose (Canada Goose) jacket!
Canada goose is running into Ed Hardy territory in warmer areas. In London people wear these when it's 15 degrees Celsius to show off the patch....
Loved this video. You are funny. I chuckle on your sense of humor!! Love!!!
Ty!!
I have a Canada Goose x Loro Piana parka that is water resistant wool. It doesn't have a logo on the outside and looks really classy. It's my all time favorite coat.
When you love a jacket so much you button it down 3 times just to hear the clicks lol, love the videos man!
Ha! Ty!
the lighter Canada Goose jackets are great for temps of 30-50 and so so comfortable lightweight. We use our heavier Canda goose's just for colder temps 10-30 degrees or if we plan to be out in 30-40 all day long. Love the brand.
Ive waited for this
This is really one of the best youtube Channels 😂
Eddie Bauer use to use the whole Down Goose Feather in their 700 Superior Polar Parka. You could literally fill the ends poking you. I use to buy and sell a lot of them back in 89’-2005. Those Parkas were toasty because they didn’t break the feathers apart. You’d literally get 700 feathers per baffle!
People are going to be mad at me for doing this, but there’s a ton on eBay that are considered “vintage” and I’ve found really cool ones. But tbh, imma stick with my Crescent Down Works sweater. Best 700 bucks I’ve ever spent 😂
I have a Canada Goose Heli-Arctic Parka I bought nearly 20 years ago for $480. It was designed for helicopter pilots in arctic regions. It’s been my yearly winter coat for Canadian winters. It will last me until the day I die. It’s like being swaddled in a down duvet. It’s brilliant.
Fascinating
Funny video. I've tried on a few CG jackets, they feel built like tanks, they literally make North Face or Patagonia feel like Walmart's house brand. If a CG parka is worth 3 to 4 times more than a NF Gotham is pretty subjective. To me first world manufacturing, style, and real fur matter so I might be buying one soon. You brought up rolex, their transition from utilitarian to luxury was similar. A brand makes a good product, actors and athletes are seen wearing it, and the brand transitions to luxury level pricing. Rinse repeat, it's the way of the commerce world.
Pretty interesting video, happened to stumble across it. Subbed!
Can you do a review on Eddie Bauer tailgate parka...
Great video, as always Michael. P.S. I wish it was starting to get warmer here.
Thanks!! And soon enough!
I highly recommend dry cleaning over using a washing machine to clean these jackets. If you are going to machine wash, don't add anything like I did. I washed and down treated my CG jacket with Grange'rs down waterproofing. It took way a week of drying and pinching the down to restore its original loft.
Good to know!!
People use low heat and tennis balls in the dryer with down jackets. I haven't been brave enough to do mine though.
Hey I’m in the market for a tripod, which one do you use?
The quality of your videos is getting so good it’s insane! Bravo. You should consider doing a video on the recording/ editing process for these videos.
Ty so much!! I use a Libec! It’s actually a great deal (used they are like $150)
The coat the Aunty on the left is wearing @ 8:55 deserves an honourable mention.
I'm so glad I just bought a nobis canada goose isn't the same since 2009-2010
It's crazy for over $1K CG jackets aren't even seam sealed. I get that their original purpose was for extremely cold dry climates but still, at the prices they're charging it's a feature I think should be included.
seam sealed would change the outer structure and the product would be not breathable. If you want something sealed go for a hard shell over it.
Taping the seams is incredibly labour intensive from a production standpoint and would drive the prices up even more by a huge chunk. Not worth it since its not meant for rainy climates.
@@rudiausbuddeln Taped seams and breathability are two separate things. The reason hard shells don't breathe is because they're made of waterproof 2L or 3L laminated fabrics that trap heat, sweat and moisture inside and out.
@@KAIOabstrct yes you are right. Its just not a jacket for heavy rainfall it still absorbs some rain and snowfall is no problem
Its either fit for purpose or not fit for purpose! But I doubt the deficiencies are of any concern to city folk who wear them only as a fashion statement
Thanks for that interesting video, would you mind posting a link or exact model of your jacket ?
I think this jacket would be a perfect compliment to a pita-based snack of pork, beef, or chickpea on a cold winter's afternoon.
Took me a second to fully understand the joke but then i nailed it!
The parka used in the arctic is the Mantra not the Expedition.
Moose Knuckles is an older brand and they make higher quality jackets. But Canada Goose still make great jackets, if a little overpriced.
Pues, en la ciudad tambien!
What are your favourite Canada Goose Productmodels? Why have you decided for the Emory? And not the expedition, Wyndham, Langford, Carson or chateau? What are your thoughts on the different models?
I did lots of reading and comparing and went with the Carson. I prefer the sleek look 2 fleece lined zipper pockets over the other pocket styles. I also wanted a parka that was mid thigh length for extra warmth but not crazy long. So far I am loving it. Have worn it in -30 already with no issues.
1:12 "Winter is coming to a close*" *laughs in Detroit*
I love my Constable Parka and am a fan of Arctic Tech as it’s wind proof. It keeps me warm and has a far greater range than my old wool-lined LL Bean Parka. The cuff design is similar to the N1 Deck Jacket - most notably worn by Lee Marvin in Point Blank, in a flashback scene.
I want to get the Maitland because I like the pocket flap snaps over the Velcro and want to alternate my jackets. I don’t know why they discontinued this model but am glad they repair and sell used jackets.
CG is comparable to Rolex - a well-made product, misunderstood by both the chavs who hype it or the snobs who revile it.
Big Hoth vibes
how much will they go up in price resale with the old real fur,
MICHAEL U ROCK
I'm glad you're still practicing for our Parka based Barbershop Quartet!
And don't worry, I will fight naysayers in the comments for you.
You are the best fighter there is! And I’d never not practice
@@TheIronSnail Well, your voice is great. I have to practice to hit those notes.
I think first time Canada Goose was in the movies was Dennis Quaid in "The Day After Tomorrow" around 2004.
I wore my Canada Goose Chilliwack Jacket for almost 10 years until I told myself to change the jacket. So I did. I bought myself the Canada Goose Paradigm Chlliwack for a whopping 1.5k and I love it.
100% Reason to Remember the Name... absolutely yes
Nice vid
I love Canada goose, got 5 jackets
WHEW! You’ve got the goose
So you said Eddie Bauer is the father of the down parka? Interesting I’m just looking for a very classic everyday winter coat. I love the Canada goose look and style but the price is substantial so that’s tough to get over. I would buy it if it would last me 10 years guaranteed. Also do they offer free repair like a Patagonia does for example? They own it for life type vibe you know what I mean? I don’t want to settle for a Eddie Bauer I do want the Canada goose :(
First time blind subscribing to a channel. Looking forward to it. I’ve seen horological stuff - please don’t stop doing this. Denim stuff - do more of this. New channel - liquor?!? Probably not but I’m in either way.
trying to decide between this, the wyndham and the bomber before they stop using fur
Using lower fill power down and advertising it as being better when wet is good marketing but BS. All down clumps together when it gets wet unless it is hydrophobically treated with Nikwax for instance.
I guess you would have to ask the companies that make make clothing specific to function why they routinely use lower fill power for areas prone to high moisture why they do it.
There's some truth to it, just depends on how you want to use it. In CG's case, they're just trying to justify using crappy materials while asking a premium price tag.
What do you think about the fact that they use goose feathers bred in tiny cages?
Btw, love your channel:) cheers from Norway
I thought they just use the down from the geese slaughtered for food.
I think Canada Goose, Barbour, and Filson make very good parkas/jackets for the money.
Let’s gooooooooooo thaks for uploading
WOO! Thanks for watching!
take a shot every time Michael says Goose
Hi, big fan of yours. Can you do a video on wool pants please.
For seriously cold environments I’d abandon the marketing and branding and opt instead for a down filled jacket for temperatures as low as -20C
I Always Sacrifice Comfort for Drip. Which means I'm always colder than I need to be.
The Mission coat (up to -60C protection) from Outdoor Survival Canada is better than ANY Canada Goose coat.
I have three Canada goose jackets the lodge hoody, the Langford parka, and a expedition jacket. I live in eastern Canada where it’s usually cold however over the past 2 years I’ve have found myself wearing my thinner lodge jacket way more than my two big ones.
yep i have a lodge as my first CG jacket, I love it
This jacket is rad, but too hot for Texas 🫤
As if their Expedition parka is now $1600CAN, when I got mine 10 years ago was only $500
Yup. Stupid people in warm places ruined the brand
just get crescent down works
I heard good things about this brand back when I thought spending that much on clothing was just insane. Now I think it’s kind of a rip off. If you’re going to spend that much on a jacket or coat, there are many other options that are considerably more luxurious for around the same price.
I love my fjallraven nuuk! Pretty similar to Canada goose from what I can tell. I’m allergic to dogs so I bet I’d be allergic to coyote.. I’ve never cuddled a coyote though so I can’t be sure. I probably won’t try and figure that out. I like the synthetic fur though
I am kicking myself for being so poor. I really wanted a Canada goose back when they were like $600 (like 2015)
But then again, I have no use for it in Australia XD
Most styles are not waterproof or windproof. If you’re getting a jacket look at Outdoor Survival Canada Jackets. Real survival, yet style minded jackets.
waterproof = not breathable. why would you want a waterproof jacket for temperatures below 0. makes no sense.
You may want to fact check that bud
Yeah, if there was truth in naming they would call it Canada duck. They only have one goose down coat.
But what’s the real difference is between Canada Goose and Grey Goose?
I guess technically they both make you feel warm
You can enjoy Grey Goose with out the cruelty to animals.
yup, it's a coat.
NorthFace jacket.
Why don't you show a men s model of this jacket ?
"I Feel The Need… The Need For Down 🚀
I feel the need…the need for tweed!
Yup bro ye canada goose goin bricker ye
I think i understand this comment but im also unsure if i do
@@TheIronSnail its an irish thing. all the “dilinquents” I guess you guys would call them wear them in Ireland i was using the dublin slang they use 😂
End of the day, Canada Goose is like any other luxury/fashion brand. Generally a good product, just very poor value. You're paying for the logo (in this case the patch). In CG's case, you ironically using an inferior down (the fact they use duck while calling themselves Goose is hilarious) while paying a premium price.
I just want to ask why a lot of people get mad by people wearing fur?
it's weird
Scilabus made a video on the physics of fur hoods, you can check it out here! ruclips.net/video/179xP-fF6wA/видео.html (english subs available)
Comment engagement!
LOVE TO SEE IT!
Great Parka. Stupid price. Eddie Bauer for 1/4 the price
Ah, Canada Douche 😂 The only people I see wearing Canada Douche are celebs, hipsters and suburban soccer moms. I bought a Canadian Wolf down jacket which is just as good. Hand made in Quebec for a lot less. Warm af too
interested to see what you have for us on your eponymous channel
Thanks! Also you taught me a new word
@@TheIronSnail I’m not a watch guy but was very interested in the recent Theo & Harris Patek video, especially considering Christian’s view that Patek can be a bit hit or miss.
The only watch that has every wowed me in a “if I every have absurd success” is the Patek Calatrava 51 small seconds in white gold (Patek 5196G
SMALL SECONDS).
Would be very interested in what the prevailing view is of this model - good or bad. I just love the aesthetic, but would love to know the opinions of a couple of watch industry nerds (+ve or -ve) 👍
Hi Michael! First of all, R.I.P. 8thWeekday amirite? Second of all, why start a new channel when you ONLY have 15k subs here (look who’s talkin’)? Why not put diverse content on this channel to grow it to at least a 100k subs, and THEN create a second one?
RIP 8thWeekday!!! And i did a few little tests here and there of off topic videos and they tend not to do as well because YT looks for videos that all viewers watch and not everyone here is interested in things off topic
Figured I’d give another channel a shot!
@@TheIronSnail Can’t wait for what’s in store!
Congrats, you can now dress like every Torontonian in the winter LOL
So true. I gave my CG bomber to my cousin as I outgrew it. It's ridiculously warm but now I rock a Eddie Bauer parka. Not as stylish but does the job for me
Hahaha IM IN!
Only if you got a moose knuckles too
i want my 12 minutes BACK
sorry it’s all mine now
They stopped buying fur in 2021 and now will stop manufacturing fur jakets in 2022 end. just letting everyone know.
Is it worth it? NO!
my nigga… this video is amazing. subbed.
enough with the jackets leak the album
Buying a sweatshirt from Canada goose is like buying cargo shorts from Burberry - oh so wrong.
I have 3 Merino wool CG tops and 1 hoodie they are great and 3 jackets and 1 vest and 1 puffer jacket.
i am glad they do not kill coyotes anymore for their coats
canada goose is not going to make the fur part anymore
you can thank the crazy american animal right movement groups for this
🙁
Lol that's not a Canadian goose that's a human being
First
WINNER!
Please, please. "The Arctic" and "Antarctic" are two different things. All of your photographs were NOT of "The Arctic" - those were pictures of Antarctica... which is at the southern pole of the planet, where the penguins are.
Whoops!
Canadia goose is kind of like the Rolex of jackets. Good but also really overrated.
