They’re are plenty of fabulous winter coats cheaper and most importantly animal friendly. And I experience winter it’s -25 right now outside where I am. I live in fashion concious Manhattan, New York City where warmth and aesthetic are important in my choice for a coat. If a $700 Canada Goose coat that I have chosen carefully for color and cut will last me 3-5 years then, yes it’s worth it! I am also 1/2 Canadian and love the fact that this product is made exclusively in Canada.
I am certainly against the use of real coyote fur on the trim. It is a high quality, well made, and warm coat. I spend alot of time outside so i am willing to pay for a proper coat. I personally don’t really care that it was made in Canada. Living in Saskatchewan which is probably only rivaled by Manitoba and Nunavut on how cold it gets I had announced in the fall that I was going to buy one of these jackets. However, I’m cheap and kept stalling due to the price.
My husband bought a parka for a couple hundred dollars from MEC four years ago, and while it’s not a bad coat it’s obviously not the same quality. It’s become very difficult to find consumer products that are designed to last a decade of heavy use. I believe these animals are trapped with leg traps. Trappers are only required to check their traps every 3 days. If my information is wrong I’d like to know, but for now no trapped animal fur for me.

And when I graduated college at 25 he bought me a London Fog Wool PeaCoat for 130 to celebrate. I am more likely to put my money into sneakers than any other type of apparel but if my Southpole jacket ever dies I might consider it. Assuming it’s going to hold on like Southpole. Cannot for the life of me figure out why in this day and age, when we are suppose to be so darn smart, anyone would wear anything with fur. I will stick to my expensive but warm obermeyer from austria.
I live in winnipeg, so we have temperatures drop below -40 a lot of time. I used to buy $200 jackets every year and still had to wear a bunch of layers to stay warm. Paying $700 for canada goose puffer jacket goose was the best investment. I don’t bus, I drive but have lots of walking to do between university buildings. If anyone is not sure to buy it or not I would say go for it.
Of course I have to pair it with appropriate boots, wind pants, and mitts but even -35 is fine. My last jacket was an old columbia that I re-lifed once by getting the zippers replaced. I have about 7 years use of this jacket and anticipate lots more. The cost of ownership for me will be much less than $100/year and canada goose puffer jacket I get lots of use out of it. Yes, you can find a warm winter jacket comparable to a Canada Goose jacket for a lot less money.
