00:00 Introduction
03:16 So I'm wearing here the Canada Goose Emory slim fit parka jacket with a coyote trim. In terms of colors, they are less flashy than Moncler and I chose an olive green. The first thing that distinguishes the jacket visually from the Moncler one is the genuine coyote fur trim. Canada Goose claims that it has a functional purpose in the sense that it creates more turbulent air around your face thus preventing frostbite more than a jacket without the trim.
03:59 The next thing that stands out is the material. It is matte and it's a lot thicker than the Moncler jacket. Also and I find it quite unpleasant, it makes a lot of noise when you walk, just listen! The material is made out of 85 percent polyester and 15 percent cotton, it's water-resistant, durable, and hard-wearing, as well as wind resistant. It's not quite gore-tex membrane material but it's definitely thick and much stiffer than what you get from Moncler.
04:46 The other difference to a Moncler Jackets are the ribbed cuffs which I find quite useful because they prevent cold air from coming in. The jacket features an abundance of pockets, has lots of Zamak metal snap buttons that are plastic covered. Of course, all branded. The zipper is an injection molded plastic from YKK, ironically it's the same one used at the Moncler Jackets. For some reason though, I find it a lot harder to close.
05:25 Even though the brand is called Canada Goose, the actual filling of this jacket consists of duck down feathers which are inferior to goose down. So what's the difference between goose down and duck down? Well, goose down comes in larger clusters, usually traps the air better which means you get a higher fill power and more insulating with a goose than a duck. Because this jacket uses duck down, it's not surprising that there's a fill power of 625. Again, low-end fill power would be 300, high-end fill power would
be 900. So this jacket sits right somewhere in the middle.
06:21 Unlike Moncler, Canada goose has a warmth grading method which is called TEI or thermal experience index. That will help you to find a jacket that is best suited for your needs and your environment and the level of coolness you experience. Also, if you compare the jackets visually, it's a lot less puffy and you don't look like a Michelin Man in a garbage bag, unlike with the Moncler jacket.
07:13 So now the big question, is the Canada Goose Emory jacket worth $995? Well, let's look at the pros and cons. The construction of the Canada Goose jacket seems more rugged and sturdy. Frankly, I don't wear these jackets enough to really figure out the difference because when I go skiing, I layer up because that allows me to get exactly the right heat level for the temperature outside. This arctic tech fabric is definitely more sturdy than the nylon one from Moncler and I think over time, it will wear better.
07:47 Unlike Moncler, Canada Goose comes with a lifetime warranty, however, that sounds better than it actually is because it's just a warranty against manufacturing defects
It's definitely a quality parka, it has real fur trim, it has a fill power of 625 and it keeps you warm and is well thought through.
At the same time, the jacket also has a bunch of downsides. One big one for me is the sound it creates and the noise it makes when I walk, I find it simply unpleasant.
08:15 Secondly, it's heavier than the Moncler jacket which is not so great in my opinion but more importantly, it's simply too stiff for my tastes
Also, keep in mind that you can find warmer jackets with a higher fill power for about half the price of this Canada Goose.
08:32 Overall it's pretty expensive even though it's twenty dollars less expensive than the Moncler jacket but at the end of the day, I don't find any of those jackets really stylish because this one is very shiny and puffy, this one is less puffy but it's so stiff and just makes me feel like a very unstylish person.
So if you really care for style go with a heavy overcoat that will keep you just as warm in the city at the same time you will look a lot better.
So what are good alternative brands would you recommend?
