Mackage is Canada Goose but nicer. And the same price.

like

Patagonia Fitz Roy or Atom AR for very cold days and Atom LT, Cerium LT, or FF Eos for not so cold days (plus a hard shell).

Would also highly recommend getting the hooded version of whatever jacket you choose since it's a lot of extra warmth relative to the weight!

Picked up a Pajar coat for a 6 month stint in the Arctic a few years back. Toasty as hell, walked around a few times in -40C with only a gym shirt underneath and was fine. Was a good balance of the 3 criteria PwC 2 mentioned earlier, which is really what it comes down to.

Most decent winter coats are rated around -20C - -25C, so you're really just picking what you think looks good. If you're looking for a heavy coat, do your research (look at fill material, fill power, water resistance, etc.).

My info is a bit dated, but I recall Nature Quartz being a good balance of the 3 attributes too. If you can get by until Boxing Day, Sail has (or at least used to have) some good sales and they carry a fair bit of brands.

I bought mine from MEC ahead of a trip to Antarctica. It’s been perfect for Canadian winters too. No idea what Canada Goose costs but I trust MEC products.

No problem. Hope you have an awesome trip :)

Buy Triple Fat Goose. Super warm and they don't sell it in Canada so few people will have it.

Has a doctor ever suggested that you consider a less stressful job? And if so, are you male or female? I am female and have some chronic conditions. Today at a routine check-up with a new physician, he suggested maybe because of my "medical conditions" I think about a less stressful job. I have never received that advice from the specialists I see for those conditions, and I find it unlikely that a doctor would suggest this to a male patient. Does anyone have any insight?

2. IF I get multiple offers, any tips on how to negotiate higher salary or more equity? I’m excited about each company so I don’t know how I’d rank my preferences if the offers are similar.
