The Canada Goose Parka: Is a $7. Lots of people slam CG for the cost, for the use of coyote fur and for the allegation that people buy CG for “the image”. The CG coats cost more, because the Toronto factory where they are made employs adults, not children, and pays above- board wages. Foreign- made products use factories that have questionable labor standards at best. Plus, very skilled technicians cut and assemble CG coats under conditions of strict quality control. Sounds like a sales pitch, but if you spend even one week in a factory, you’ll know there are assembly plants that cut corners, and there are places like CG that use cutting edge tech to put out really solid quality pieces that will last a lifetime.

Yes, you can buy a Mark’s Work Warehouse coat for under $2. It’ll do a decent job keeping you warm with synthetic insulation. It’ll also look like hell in a few years and won’t do so well when the weather gets crazy cold. Sputter all you want; nothing but nothing is as warm as goose down. The coyote fur is obtained by Canadian indigenous people by vast majority; they hunt today as they did hundreds of years ago because its the way to live off the land. There are more coyotes than the government can handle, which is why permits are so easy to obtain for hunting. I’m an animal lover too, but Native Canadians are going to hunt and sell their wares, and nothing keeps you warmer than fur. It works when cold and wet. It’s a tough part of the equation, I get it, because I love animals and have companion animals as well. I also realize that the majority of people screaming about fur eat meat. I’ve seen people criticise CG for both price and use of animal products. Fact is, those criticisms were always written on a computer. Which uses rare earth minerals, that are no longer sourced from California, but are solely sourced from China in factories that are known to use child labour and which are often owned/controlled by organized crime. Sounds dramatic, but check it here: https: //www. So, when I buy a Canada Goose jacket, it employs Canadians and Native Canadians, it gives me a product that will last my lifetime and that will provide warmth in a very fundamental way. The North Face products are half the price of CG, and they are also made in China/Vietnam in poor labor conditions. Final word; CG is a high quality garment that does an amazing job keeping you warm, and that will last a lifetime. It is made as ethically as a product using animal fur/feathers can be, it employs Canadians and it’s more than just “a name.” But if your sole concern is price, then off to Walmart. There are a plethora of non- down options there that are very affordable. Just don’t look behind the curtain at how and where those ridiculously inexpensive products are made.
