Flag This Close

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.

Bottom Line: Canada Goose: Ask Anyone Who Knows.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

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.

By:

You may find things you don't like about this parka. It's expensive, it's bulky, and it doesn't allow much range of motion. Don't plan on golfing in the snow.

But if you want to stay warm, this is the garment you want. You can stand around in sub-zero temps with howling winds and feel like you're home in bed. Also, all the pockets have been designed carefully to allow the maximum number of user options.

It's simple: you will not get cold.

No top quality winter jacket is waterPROOF. The best ones are all waterRESISTANT. That means water won´t come unless it comes with pressure or rinses along pressurized parts of the jacket for a longer time - e.g. the shoulder portion below a heavy backpack. You won`t be happy with waterproof stuff because you will sweat in that and it gets wet from inside - just try to wear a plastic bag, same effect within shorter time. By the way, the temperatures that this garment is designed for come along with a very low air humidity, so that all water vaporizes (depending on the pressure) or freezes. Trust me, I have quite a few years of winter (and summer) experience in the Alpes. Don´t buy something that claims to be waterproof unless it is a raincoat or an umbrella. Cheers!

I can"t confirm if it's water resistan or water proof. That being said, if you're wearing this, it's cold enough that any precip will be of the frozen variety and will bounce right off. This isn't for skiing or boarding, it's for hard-core booku-cold expeditions. And it's worth every penny.

serious...

By:
March 30, 2011

Where to start...how about WOW! I just got mine in the mail, and it is serious quality and protection. I can't decide if it's either the Mercedes Benz or Humvee of parkas. First, it weighs about 5 lbs. according to my weight scale. Second, the design and construction (yep construction would be a good word for this item) is pretty amazing. Third, I am 6' 1" and about 210, and the medium feels a *tad* large, I think a small would've been no problem. But medium is probably optimal for the usage of this parka (for heavier layering if need be).

I think it's important to, if you can, actually look and try this on before you buy it. I couldn't recommend this model for persons living in warmer climes than here (Minnesota). I read that someone has theirs for 25 years and going, and I could see this parka holding up for that long no problem. I could also see falling off the side of a snowy mountain in the middle of a blizzard, hopping back up, dusting off a bit of snow, and act like nothing had happened. Lol.

Hands down the best winter jacket around.

By:
October 13, 2011

I had originally bought my first CG parka from here some time ago, field tested it up in the snow and wearing nothing but a t shirt underneath at 18 degrees led me to get another one in the color I had originally wanted. They were such a hard find to get, when I got the first one I settled for blue, now I have a black one as well. They are expensive but very well worth it. I would not leave home without it when traveling in the cold. Very durable, lots of pockets and no nonsense warm. It blows any jacket I ever had away, A true lifesaver jacket.

Backcountry is a authorized dealer of CG, and I loved the cloths so much I have 2 parkas and a pair of down pants. Ready for Antarctica.

Look at the reviews! Every person that buys one of these is 100% satisfied because it is hands down the best. Craftsmanship is excellent too. I Love this parka so much that I bought two of them. One in black and one in white. They run a bit large so my advice is that you try one on first if possible.

Super warm and high quality workmanship

By:
December 29, 2009

This jacket is very very warm, up until subzero temps you probably won't need anything underneath it besides a t-shirt. It runs big and is parka length, so you need to be really really big/tall for an XL to fit. The jacket is clearly a quality product, feels indestructible and like it will last a decade at least. The hood is very warm, and the coyote fur is great in cold weather for retaining that extra warm. The cuffs are one of my favorite features, the elastic rib knit inside the tough outer shell totally keeps out the wind and cold, much better than pretty much any other jacket I have ever seen.

Cons: The front zipper. It is not cheap feeling or anything, but it is on the left rather than the right, and every time I zip it up I get a little tripped up on it. Also, the jacket is (apparently) not designed to be zipped all the way up with the hood down - there is hardly any neck room with this combo, but there is a ton with it zipped up all the way with the hood up. Small qualms but worth knowing ahead of time.

Yes, regarding the zipper. Mine is on the left also. I emailed CG directly and was told that since CG is focused so heavily on quality of materials they really don't pay much attention to the direction of the zipper. Strange response to be sure but there it is. Anyway aside from the zipper being on the wrong side it's a heck of a coat. FWIW my brother lives in Denmark and he says that the zipper thing is common in Europe. Who knew.

This coat is very warm, well made and stands up to the elements superbly and negates the necessity to layer underneath unlike most coats.

I highly recommend it to everyone looking to keep warm and toasty this winter

This jacket is extremely warm

By:
January 29, 2010

This jacket is extremely warm. It is not usable for inside city and regular everyday use. I bought one in Toronto, and in a day with -20C feels like (-16C in temp), with very little movement, I sweat in that! You can not do any physical activity in that at all. It's probably best for temperatures < -20C and with no, or little, physical motion. It's a crazy jacket made for extreme cold conditions and remote cold places. Except for too much warmness, it would have been a great choice for inside city as well. The outer layer feels indestructible, very well-made and very functional in terms of number of pockets. The inner layer is also excellent; no down leaks out. It is also not probably suitable for backpacking, as it's not compressable and, though with about 2.5lbs it does not feel heavy, might contribute to your weight. I also remain uncertain if you could carry anything with such a jacket on (maybe in really cold temperatures? I never had a chance to try).

They have made Ontario Parka and Chiliwack for in city applications. Chiliwack is not a replacement for Expedition, as it is short. If I want to go for a short one, Constable Parka is a better choice. Ontario is $100 cheaper than Expedition, but the difference is more than 100$. Ontario is perfect for -15C to +5C temperatures. Below -15C, you need extra layers under that. Hand cuffs are not as sealed as Exp. It's got less down and slightly inferior outer shell (Commander versus Arctic-Tech). Hood is much bigger than Expedition's hood and fur is removable (unlike Exp). Only 3 pockets. For Ontario, sometimes down leak out from the inside layer. Ex fits relaxed, while Ontario is regular. So Ontario is one size smaller than Exp. And Ontario itself is one or two sizes smaller than your normal jacket.

Great Jacket - for those really cold days

By:
January 21, 2009

I have the men's Expedition jacket and this is truly the best jacket I have owned for cold climate. (-38 the other day and I was toasty)
Lots of pockets, fleece lined pockets, fur trimmed for those blowing snow days, down filled hood for head warmth. If you want an every day jacket or a little more fashionable the Chilliwack is waist cut and not so bulky.
Buy one size smaller, they run rather large. (Wouldn't go two sizes as the sleeves may be too short)
A word of caution. If you see a jacket on ebay or an unauthorized site it is probably fake! Backcountry.com is an authorized dealer. I see people selling fakes all the time. Even if the picture looks legit doesn't mean you will receive a real jacket. You can't buy this jacket for 200 bucks, if it seems to good to be real, it probably isn't.

LYNN, the fur does not come off. This is truly an expedition-ready garment and the fur is not a fashion statement as with many other fur-trimmed parkas. It's designed to keep windblown snow out of your eyes when the tunnel hood is fully deployed, and to keep your breath from freezing on your face and causing frostbite in sub-zero Fahrenheit weather. Hope this info helps with your decision!

I doubt you are actually leaking down. If you are you have holes in your coat. You are probably using a inferior coat made of say a 80/20 rated down. That would mean it has a lot of feathers in the mix and it is probably the feathers that are coming out. Feathers have a pointed sharp end and that can puncture the nylon outer layer and come through. To be officially labeled down it must have mostly down clusters which won't come through. Down clusters are the complete down from the Duck or Goose. Well anyway blah blah blah you can look all this up if you want. The thing is if you have a true down jacket in good condition you won't have stuff on you after wearing it. Also look for the fill rating. The higher it is the warmer the jacket. A 900 fill power would be way warmer then a 500. Lastly Goose down is better then Duck down. Hope all this helps and didn't bore you to tears.

the jacket doesn't leak down. Think about how cold of weather you need a jacket for. In my opinion (I have one) 15 to 20 degrees F is the MAXIMUM temperature for this coat. It's the warmest thing you'll find besides the Canada Goose Snow Mantra. These have the best hoods for cold weather if you need that kind of thing.

This is enormous overkill for someone whose chief complaint is leaking down. Get the Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero. This won't leak feathers, but neither will that one and it's a third the price. And the MH has a removable hood, this doesn't. On a side, note, down coats doesn't belong in quotes.

My husband is going to Anchorage alaska for 3 months Friday.

My husband is going to Anchorage alaska for 3 months Friday. I am wondering if this is the best coat for a 72 year old, cold natured doctor for getting back and forth there to the hospital and for pleasure? sizing is another question. He goes between a medium to large-wearing size 40 blazer. What do you think?

It will keep him warm for sure. It is also very professional looking and will let people know he means business.Size medium will do him fine.

I'd probably shoot for a large in this jacket. The extra room will be nice for layering. Great jacket!I disagree with the answer above. I am 6'3" 170lbs and just bought a M after trying them on at the store. I take a 42" long in normal jacket size if that helps. They run very big.I bought the medium and it fits perfect! It's true, the Canada Goose Expedition does run a size bigger.

How much does the coat weigh? Is it good for mountaineering

How much does the coat weigh? Is it good for mountaineering where you need light weight? How easy is it to move in this coat? thanks!

This is not a lightweight or packable jacket. It's heavily insulated and the fabric is thick and durable, making it the kind of garment you'd wear for slow to stationary activities in extreme cold. Think "Research Scientist at the North Pole" rather than mountain climber. It won't fit in anything smaller than a mid-sized duffel bag, even balled up as small as possible.

The weight is roughly 2.5 lbs. or just slightly under. I don't know that this would be the best jacket for mountaineering. Not waterproof, plenty warm but this is just more of a frigid expedition jacket.....in my opinion.

I work in the Geophysical Industry and have to be outdoors all

I work in the Geophysical Industry and have to be outdoors all day in -10 F weather. Besides the parka what other clothing is recommended such as wind pants, gators, underwear, etc. I am from Texas and not use to working in cold weather. Thanks.

Jim, I'd suggest a polypropylene baselayer bottom, then expedition-weight fleece pants and a waterproof, windproof shell pant that's durable enough to withstand your work. This is a VERY, VERY warm jacket, so up top you ought to be fine with baselayer and a fleece shirt or wool sweater over that, depending on the day's forecast. The polypro underwear will keep your skin dry should you start to move or sweat, and staying dry helps your body to regulate its temperature. On your feet, I'd recommend the Sorel Caribou or another pac boot with a thick, hunting-style wool sock, and for your hands, I'd recommend a pair of trigger-finger expedition mitts or heavily insulated leather work gloves like the Kinco 901 (Google them). Good luck.

You can wear anything over a suit jacket, but I'm struggling to think of a situation where you'll need this jacket if you're going there in a suit. This is for working outside at a research station in Antarctica. It's incredibly burly. I would bet that you will never encounter a situation where you need it. If I'm wrong, let me know.Angus, you obviously haven't lived in the Yukon where you wear a suit or a suit or a sport coat under a parka, due to 50 below or more weather and you are in and out of your vehicle. Barry, I would say yes you can wear this parka over top of a sport coat or a suit.

WHAT?!!!, Angus,please explain when you stated "You're not paying for the fill power, that's just volume per weight and has no effect on the warmth of the jacket". Also, according to the description of the Parka it's "625 fill-power duck-down insulation",not 550.

No such luck, it's 550. But there is so much more to a jacket than that. You're not paying for the fill power, that's just volume per weight and has no effect on the warmth of the jacket. You're paying for an incredibly well-constructed jacket that'll probably be way too warm for anything above about 10 degrees out, less if you're moving. 11 pockets, waterproof, real fur, wire-supported hood, I mean they use it at McMurdo, for cryin' out loud. Chances are, you don't need a jacket this hardcore, and if that's the case, the price is moot.

Here are the directions, straight from the Canada Goose website: Down-Insulated:When your down-filled parka requires cleaning, it is important that you take it to a dry cleaner and that you do not machine wash it. Machine washing your parka will void the warranty. If your parka has a removable fur option, remove the fur ruff before dry cleaning. If you have a small stain on your parka, another option is to spot-wash the parka with a bleach-free detergent and water.The Expedition Parka's ruff is NOT removable. I take mine to a very reputable dry cleaner who uses environmentally safe solvents and has experience with down and fur. Hope that helps.
