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.
