I received this jacket a few weeks ago and was so excited to get it! It is very cute, fits well (true to size, as I am #130, 5'6, and a medium fits perfectly, and I like things slightly fitted rather than large), and appears to be very warm (as Canada Goose products are known to be). However, my one complaint is this. I understood when I purchased it that the fill is DUCK down clusters versus GOOSE down clusters. While goose down is supposedly superior to duck down in terms of fill power when maturity of the bird is equal, I am sure Canada Goose uses a high-quality duck down in their products (the tag states "Canadian white duck down"). However, due to the use of duck down, this jacket has an obvious "gamey" odor, which I've read is due to the higher fat content in duck products. Despite "airing" out in my closet for over two weeks, the odor persists and is quite noticeable, particularly when body heat warms it up. I wonder why they do not use goose down, as goose down is known to have less odor and is, in most cases, superior to duck down in terms of fill power and longevity of loft. As it seems a majority of Canada Goose products use duck down filling instead of goose down, I wonder why they even use the name "Canada Goose." Love the jacket (and it IS warm), hate the odor!

On another note, this site, as always, ships FAST, accurately, and with items well-packaged. In my opinion, it is hands-down the best place to purchase outdoor gear online.

Snowcat22 makes some interesting points, some accurate and some not. Goose and Duck down, from the same size and aged bird are almost indistinguishable according to the Down Association of Canada. With equal size and maturity birds, the loft and fill power are virtualy identical. What's more, loft and fill power are not always the key measurements of warmth. The world's highest quality and most expensive down is Ider down. But the loft and fill power of Ider is often less than that off duck or goose because it has a tackiness to it. As for odors, that has less to do with the type of bird and more to do a bad batch of down according to the experts. Proof of that is that most down products use duck down because it's a lot less expensive than goose because both come as a by-product of the poultry industry, and duck is just way more available. Check the labels of other top brands... duck is very common and if it always smelled, it wouldn't have a market!

Great jacket: warm, great fit and stylish. I have the white one, and receive compliments on it every time I wear it. I live in the Boston area, so it's perfect for keeping me warm, while also having that special flair and versatility: it's great for urban settings and for a hike in the country. The best thing about it is that it's not too bulky. It's warm and cozy, but I don't look or feel like a marshmallow in it. I highly recommend this jacket!

I love my new Canada Goose Chilliwack Parka! It's very comfortable, WARM, and looks really sharp. I purchased the white one. Worth every penny. I moved to Wisconsin from Myrtle Beach, so I needed a good coat for the WI winters. Since I'm not used to cold and snow, I wanted to get the best and boy did I make a good choice. I highly recommend Canada Goose. I ordered from Backcountry.com on a Saturday and received the coat within 6 days. I am very pleased and excited about my purchase.

Yes, we are talking a little bit of cash with this jacket, but you won't regret it at all. Of all down jackets, this one is worth every penny. There is not one that parallels it's quality and warmth. You will feel like you are wrapped in a down comforter all day with this one. If you spend any time outside in the winter where it gets fairly cold, this is the jacket for you. I have a friend who has the jacket in white and it is sharp. It is very well made and looks great. I'm waiting for my next paycheck, but this one will be in my closet this winter for sure!
