Parka Canada Goose

A long, warm, mid-thigh jacket with a hood and drawstrings, once an ethnic element of northern clothing, has gained recognition among modern men and women, becoming an indispensable outerwear for life and work both in extremely cold climates and in milder conditions.

There are quite a few manufacturers producing warm parkas, but the Canadian company Canada Goose has gained deserved popularity, becoming the guarantor of the excellent quality and stylish design of the branded parka.

A feature of Canada Goose products is, first of all, in its clear focus on the production of outerwear, designed for use in low and extremely low temperatures. This means that the company's assortment is not represented by such a large assortment of models as that of other companies, however, the quality of Canada Goose parkas, which has been proven more than once in practice, has created a reputation for the company as one of the best.

The advantages of Canada Goose parks are:

• Excellent thermal insulation properties, which are achieved by the correct ratio of several parameters: the fabric of the surface of the product + insulation + the correct choice of the size of the product. The first two criteria are provided by Canada Goose, you choose the correct fit. Choosing the wrong size for this type of outerwear can minimize the declared high level of thermal insulation properties of the Canada Goose parkas, for which they, in fact, are bought.

• Top material... For outerwear, Canada Goose parkas use Teflon-coated arctic polycotton (for clothing used in extreme cold conditions), water-repellent DWR polyester, and a laminated membrane (for urban clothing).

• Filler. Goose or white duck down - insulation used in Canada Goose parks is one of the most important features of this company's products. Very lightweight, this type of filler is considered to have one of the highest heat-shielding properties.

• Production. The great advantage of Canada Goose parks is that they are manufactured in the same place where they are developed - in Canada, which allows raising quality control to the proper level, which, according to the company's management, would be impossible to ensure if the production was located in the countries Asia.

• Most models have a fur trim on the hood... If the hood is folded back, then the fur acts as a collar warming the shoulders. The hood has a drawstring, and the edge of the high collar is also trimmed with fur.

• Durability. This parameter can be considered both an advantage and a disadvantage. On the one hand, the quality of Canada Goose parkas is such that once bought, it will serve you for so long that you may just get bored. On the other hand, it is in such a long service life that the indisputable advantage of the products of this company lies.

• Sophisticated ergonomics of the models. If for urban models you can afford a minimalistic design, then when operating in extreme conditions it is often very important to have different sizes of pockets on the surface of the park and easy access to them. A loose-fitting and at the same time tight-fitting hood on the head, dense inner cuffs, as well as cuffs with slits for thumbs, drawstrings, drawstrings, velcro - all this is thought out and successfully implemented in Canada Goose parkas.

• Expedition Parka is a classic, one might say, the first and basic model of Canada Goose parkas;

• Citadel Parka - a lightweight version of the Expedition model;

• Chateau Parka - more minimalistic in design, but not in quality, model;

• Trillium parka - stylish women's parka with a fitted silhouette and very beautiful colors;

• Hybridge Lite - An attractive, form-fitting design in glittery material, sleeves with long, tight cuffs with thumb slits;

• Kensington Parka - an elongated 3/4 thigh parka, fitted, with decorative snaps and hinges, and a hood trimmed with coyote fur;

• Branta Parka is one of the brightest and at the same time "respectable" models of Canada Goose parkas; stylish cut, graceful models, premium materials, reliable protection.

When choosing any outerwear, including the Canada Goose parka, you should be guided, first of all, by its purpose and operating conditions:

• If the parka is intended for operation at extremely low temperatures, then it is recommended to choose the classic Expedition parka model - spacious, rather voluminous (due to the down filling in the bags), with a snorkel hood with coyote fur trim and a high neck trimmed for greater comfort fur; With 2-way front zip and Velcro windscreen.

• An analogue of Canada Goose Expedition parka, designed specifically for urban conditions - Citadel Parka. There is less down in this model than in the previous one, so the silhouette is not so voluminous. Details - a chest pocket with Velcro with a branded logo, spacious lower pockets, sufficient in volume for a tablet or e-book, lower pockets with zippers, powerful zipper that can be closed even with warm gloves.

• If you are a fan of minimalism and require only moderate warmth from a parka, then the lightweight and compact Canada Goose Chateau Parka is the way to go.In addition to the small number of pockets in comparison with classic models, its difference is also a rather narrow cut, a button fastening and the absence of drawstrings along the bottom of the park.

• The elongated Canada Goose Kensington Parka model is perfect for warm-loving ladies with an active lifestyle. It is not for nothing that it is this model that celebrities wear with pleasure.

• Auto lady ladies who prefer a sporty yet stylish look should look at the Canada Goose Trillium parka or the even lighter version of the Canada Goose Hybridge Lite.

Like any fairly well-known, and as a result, quite expensive brand, Canada Goose parks are actively counterfeited, therefore, having made a choice in favor of buying outerwear of this particular brand, you should pay attention to the signs of its originality:

• coyote fur, used as a fringe in Canada Goose parks, is very fluffy and thick, and is located along the entire edge of the hood, so if the fur on a possible purchase does not seem very attractive to you, then this alone should alert you;
• With the exception of a few lightweight women's models, Canada Goose parkas have a dense matte upper that does not shine or wrinkle;
• in every Canada Goose park, all labels are sewn together, as is the holographic badge created especially for this brand;
• Another distinctive feature of the original Canada Goose parkas is the loop for which it is proposed to hang the product - it is always one, located in the upper back of the outer side of the park; it contains the model name without specifying the brand, for example Expedition;
• fake parkas often differ from the originals in their length, so before buying the model you like, look on the official website to see what the real length should be;
• the breast pocket, the so-called id-pocket, for the original products is made of a translucent, not completely transparent, as on fakes, material designed to bend but not wrinkle even in very low temperatures (on fakes it often looks wrinkled) ; the size of this pocket practically coincides with the size of the outermost pocket (on fakes it is smaller);
• the cost of the original Canada Goose parka is quite high, starting at $ 700, and there are never discounts on these products, even in the summer season.
