Buy sweatpants and hoodies for staying warm at home; we arent going anywhere to show off the jacket 🤭

Performance vs. Fashion vs. Cost. Where do your priorities lie?
Mackage is Canada Goose but nicer. And the same price.
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!
I’m sorry but my Goose has served me well. No regrets
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 :)

Fjallraven Greenland jacket for fall weather and their Yupik Parka for sub zero

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

Best Purchase I’ve made!
FWIW. I walked into their Toronto store on Black Friday last year and got 20% off for signing up with my email (they rarely have/advertise sales)
