Canada Goose review

Canada Goose is the brand most people name first, and its documentation backs up part of that reputation. Each parka carries a Thermal Experience Index rating: the women's Shelburne Parka is listed at -10°C to -20°C (TEI 3), and the Trillium Parka at -15°C to -25°C (TEI 4). The Shelburne uses 625 fill power responsibly sourced down at 80% down and 20% feathers, inside Arctic Tech, an 84% recycled polyester and 16% organic cotton fabric with a water-repellent finish, and it is made in Canada. Canada Goose warrants insulated outerwear against manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the product, and the cover passes to later owners if the coat is traceable. The weak point is value. Our check could only load European prices, with the Shelburne at €1,525, so we have marked US pricing as pending, and the 625 fill power is lower than coats on this list that cost a third as much.
