What to know about Canada Goose
Built for real cold first
The range is anchored by down-filled parkas like the Expedition and Snow Mantra, designed for extreme cold rather than mild-weather layering.
Still made largely in Canada
Founded in Toronto in 1957 as Metro Sportswear, the company keeps much of its production in Canadian factories, which is part of what the high prices cover.
Expanding beyond winter parkas
Rainwear, knitwear, footwear, eyewear and lighter warm-weather pieces have been added to reduce the brand's dependence on cold seasons.

How Canada Goose fits
Overall fit
runs large
Canada Goose outerwear is widely reported to run large and roomy with long sleeves, so many buyers take a size down from their normal jacket size, while the handful of slim-cut models fit closer to true.
Tip: Most people are happiest sizing down one from their usual jacket size unless they plan to layer heavy knits underneath.
