Very warm - with a few flaws

Canada Goose Constable Down Parka - Men's

Canada Goose Constable Down Parka - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 January 29, 2009

I live in Norway and bought this jacket mostly for using around town when the temperatures are in the teens and twenties and lower. This coat is hands down the warmest I've ever owned. The construction quality is top notch and I generally like the styling. I chose this jacket because of Canada Goose's reputation and because I liked this jacket's price point and the fact that they don't use fur.

Unfortunately, this coat is far from perfect. The drawstring waist does not completely encircle the waist, therefore this jacket is extremely prone to heat loss due to drafts - even just walking can create an unpleasant "bellows" effect. There are no hand-warmer pockets, which to my mind is just inexcusable - I find myself unzipping the sides and putting my hands inside the coat to keep them warm, which works just OK. I would have also liked a more iPod-friendly interior pocket - though in the face of the two preceding issues, this is a minor quibble.

The bottom line is that I really can't recommend this coat unless, like me, you insist on buying Canada Goose but balk at wearing real fur. Otherwise, I would opt for the one of the other parkas.
