The warmest and best looking jacket by far. I have to wonder how they killed those coyote to get the fur for the hood. It sure does make me feel guilty knowing its real fur. I wont buy again from canada goose because they kill so many animals but this jacket is so darn warm its incredible. I hope to buy a canada goose parka next time because I'm such a gear freak but only if they make it with no fur or at least fake fur. I have 4 arcteryx jackets and they are more waterproof but not as warm as this one. It is slightly warmer than the fission sv but would not be as waterproof. Overall this is warmer than any other jacket on the market, I wonder why they dont wear canada goose jackets when climbing Everest?

Wow. It never ceases to amaze me at how some will just spout nonsense in a review when the actual facts and answers to your questions are at your fingertips. Canada Goose has a very transparent fur acquisition policy: http://www.canada-goose.com/fur-policy/ They use real fur because synthetic fur freezes in extreme conditions and fails to perform the function. Also amazed that you ask why the elusive "they" don't use Canada Goose when climbing Everest. On October 5 1982, Laurie Skreslet became the first Canadian to summit Everest. He was wearing a Metro Sportswear "Snow Goose" parka. Canada Goose started under the name Metro Sportswear in 1957 and has been a family owned and operated company since inception. Metro began selling all products under the name Canada Goose in 2000. Details on their web site: http://www.canada-goose.com/our-story/ I hope these facts help some that read the drivel in the above review.

Canada Goose uses coyote fur for the hood ruff because it is the only fur known not to freeze making it ideal in cold climate conditions. How they get the fur, I don't know but I can tell you that, at least where I lived in Manatoba, Canada, there was an overpopulation of coyotes which adversley affected deer poulations in the area. I own a Canada Goose Snow Mantra, as well as a Chilliwack parka. My whole family has Canada Goose coats and we swear by the quality and waranty.
