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?

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.
