Canada Goose: Ask Anyone Who Knows.

The Canada Goose Men's Expedition Parka is the original, undefeated champion of extreme cold-weather utility jackets, and its quality and warmth are simply without question. After over 20 years of use by the National Science Foundation at Antarctica's McMurdo Station research facility, the Expedition Parka has proven its worth in the harshest, coldest environments on the planet. With its Teflon-coated Arctic-Tech fabric protecting the super-high lofting, 625 fill-power duck-down insulation within, this parka is designed to let you operate in total comfort, well into sub-zero Fahrenheit conditions. Four front cargo pockets and two sets of fleece-lined handwarmer pockets provide space for every glove, hat, and instrument, with room to spare. These, plus a down-filled hood, freeze-proof genuine coyote-fur ruff and interior snow skirt are just some of the features setting the Expedition Parka far, far apart from its many imitators.

I would like to buy the Expedition Parka as a gift for someone who is about 5'8" and 270lbs. What would be the best size"?

that might be tricky, an xl will fit his gut but the arms will be too long.

Hey, I got an expedition parka in the mail today. I was a little disappointed, the fur is so small :/

the expedition has a smaller fur trim than the ontario or the snow mantra, if you dont like it send it back and get the ontario parka, that fur on those are removable.

I'm 6"3" 245 pounds. Will an XL be big and long enough for me? Also how is the fill in this coat, is it good throughout the coat?

GoodJohn

I would say L is enough for you. I'm 6.1 and 220 and I had the XL, . Exchanged it for an L and I still have room to grow even though I wearing layers inside.

Thanks John. How long does it run? Mid-thigh?

GoodJohn

Member since 
Responded on

Yes, mid thigh.
Regarding the fill, its very good and thick over the body but it seems to be more spread and less thickness in the arms to allow better movement; I would guess.
Just want to point out that my arm length is average for my height and L fits me perfect. If you have longer than average arms then you might want to consider XL or use the Backcountry exceptional return policy.

My husband is 6'3" and 240 pounds. My son is 6'1" and 280 pounds. What size(s) would you recommend for them?

GoodJohn

Member since 
Responded on

I'm 6'1 and 220 lbs, athletic build. I ordered XL and that is like a tent around me. Arm lengths are good but I could be wearing my whole outdoor gear collection inside this jacket.
Depending on your guys chest width (I'm 49 inches) and I would comfortably guess that 53-55 inches would be alright for the XL.

I've just got one for my husband in size M - but's too much bigger then he is actually... He's 5,8 feet and 150 lbs, he's rather slim. What would you recommend - an XS or even XXS?

Matti

Member since 
Responded on

I would try to find XXS. I'm 5'11"/ 180lbs and size S is perfect but if I would be 10lbs lighter then XS... so for your husband, look for XXS.

  • Familiarity: I've used it several times

I'm a hair under 5'11" and 180 pounds. Normal/average body shape- though wider than average upper body- I cross country ski.
First I got a size medium Expedition Parka based on some of the comments here and it was way too big for me. I exchanged it for size small. Now the jacket fits well. If I was just wearing a t-shirt underneath it might be big, but with long sleeves or a fleece, I think its perfect.- If you are lankier than me I might consider an XS.

I give the jacket 5 stars because the quality is bar none and it is everything I ever wished for. I won't write a long review of pros and cons because there's plenty of reviews out there.

Few words about Canada Goose Chilliwack bomber jacket that I owned for a while. I loved the look of it but never could get used to how it rode up when I leaned over even just a bit. It was just too short for my liking. The sizing of Chilliwack is way different than on Expedition Parka. My Chilli was size large (I tried on M and XL) and it fit well minus the riding up issue but I don't blame the sizing for that.

So the long story short. With my height and weight I would recommend the size Small (maybe even XS if you don't have a wide or muscular upper body) on Expedition Parka and size Large on Chilliwack.

Thanks for your suggestion, i got a small and it's still a bit large for me. I can even put a skiing down jacket underneath, which is cool for me because I only use this jacket as a extreme-cold backup that can cover everything else when storm's coming. If i use it as a general outwear, i would go XS or XXS.

I'm 5'11" / 180lbs and I have size small Expedition Parka. Trust me, you would be swimming in size medium. If I were you, I would try to find XS.

I am 6'3" and about 220 and wear an XL Expedition. It's perfect. I can't wear it below about -20 but when it's cold out, it is fantastic!

im 5'11" 217lbs and a medium is slighty big. airp i dont think you could stand to wear this jacket with a base layer and 2 fleece jackets, you would sweat so much. i can wear this jacket in -10 F. WITH JUST A LONG SLEEVE T SHIRT UNDERNEATH AND BE VERY WARM. these jackets are the very best quality out of all the top brands, i have this and a cg lodge down hoody. there expensive but worth every penny. do not buy from an unauthorized dealer though due to fakes out there, ebay is the worst.

sorry, small may be a little big, but will give you some room. extra small would probably be better for you.

Those colors aren't even listed as options on the manufacturer's website, maybe last year's colors?

I need to buy an expedition for my husband....

I need to buy an expedition for my husband. He is just under 6ft and weighs 170 pounds (he is pretty slim) but he was long arms I think. Would I get him a medium or large? Any ideas?

Pat Palmer

Member since 
Responded on

I think Medium will do. Large will literally hang on him, even if he's broad in the shoulders/chest. Unless, of course, he's going to layer-up heavily under it, and there is no need for that with this parka

there is a cold spot by each front shoulder where there is very little down filling ....you will have to where something underneath.

Darrel Friesen

Are you sure it's real? There are a ton of fakes out there, some very good, especially if you bought it online. No issues at all with mine with cold spots.

I just got my Expedition Parka. I am 5'7",and 135 lbs. I got a Medium. It's a bit large on me,but that's what I expected. I didn't plan on wearing this coat around the city,with just a T-shirt under it. If I had,I would have gotten a Small. With my normal wool shirt and vest under it, it's just right. The arms are a bit long,but I have that problem with just about any clothes I get-with gloves or mitts, this won't be a problem. To me,the fit is the same as my "Medium" US military N3B coat (but half as heavy). The left-side zip will take some getting used to.

Get small. I'm hair under 5'11", 178lbs (athletic). I got M and it's too big. Definitely Small, if not even XS.

I am not exagerating when I say that I really only need a shirt under this parka...I use the Canada Goose Vest til it gets down into the thirties then I switch to this below that. The BEST and WARMEST you can get and you are buying from a company that stands behind their products. (BackCountry #1)

Hey this coat/jacket is ment as a last resort in extremely cold enviroments, I you buy a medium you wont be able to layer up under it, If canada Goose say your a large then thats the real deal, Its not ment to be slim and tight fitting, I'm 43 inch chest but i orderd the XL in the mantra, why because of layering up otherwise I would have bought a Large, I have 3 real Parkas and this is a Bear of a Coat, If Blizzards in the freezing cold are where youll be spending your time then follow Canada Goose's sizing chart and if you are going to be layering up go bigger, Check out Arctic videos and ones from the south pole, because one mistake there and you die,

If CG ment a medium to fit people of our size's then it would be writen on their chart, these are just the facts the choice and reasons are down to you the reader/s

Joe

It's not necessary to layer up under their parkas...I simply wear a Sub Rx compression top or similar and that's is it..Btw, a large is a perfect fit...You'll be warm , beleive me.

it should be considered that Canada Goose Expedition Parka is REALLY HUGE
so if you usually wear L, your size will be M or even smaller

Write your question here...What Parka would...

Kris

Write your question here...What Parka would be recommended for North Dakota winters? Las year it was not uncommon to see -60F w/ windchill.

Sean

Responded on

Probably anything in their Arctic Program line would be good. I've used their Heli Arctic parka before at -30 with just a t shirt on underneath and that is about the same as the Expedition only without the exterior pockets. The Ontario parka seems good and the Constable jacket is designed as a shorter coat for extreme cold. The Chilliwack is very popular in middle and eastern Canada but is not as long as a parka so the protection will be different.

They make sort of three categories. Slim Insulated, Regular Insulated, and Relaxed Insulated. The slim fitting products aren't intended for sub zero as they are more city wear but are nice coats. I am 6' and 169 lbs and in the Regular fit a medium is right for me. In Relaxed I can fit a small but have had to make large size work in work situations and it didn't look or feel absurd but but I would think pretty hard between a medium or small Expedition for myself if I was buying one. The Expedition would most certainly handle the cold you are talking about.
