These Are the 12 Best Coats & Jackets at Canada Goose That Are Functional, Warm and Can Last a Lifetime

The aforementioned Rossclair parka is one of Canada Goose’s most-loved styles. Earning the ‘Fundamental’ ranking on the site’s temperature rating, this jacket was made to maximize comfort and warmth for everyday wear in colder temperatures, particularly around 14 to negative four degrees Fahrenheit. But warmth and function aside, it’s really the style that makes this the most popular Canada Goose coat. From the subtle high-low hem to the down-filled Snorkel hood that welcomes interchangeable trims to the military button closures, this jacket oozes sleek, sophisticated and timeless beauty.

If you’re thinking about purchasing a Canada Goose coat, you’re preparing to spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. So why is it so expensive, you ask? Canada Goose originated in 1957 with the vision of precision; every detail, down to the fold, cut and stitch was at the forefront of every design. Additionally, the brand made a commitment to Canadian manufacturing and sustainable innovation.

To make this happen, they set up manufacturing facilities across Canada to bring their beloved styles to life, and they’ve partnered with other manufacturers from across the world with the same vision and ethos to expand their collections as time elapsed. I’ve recently discovered firsthand that their material is second to none, boasting warmth, insulation, comfort and durability. That’s because they invest in using high-quality materials and fabrics in their impeccable craftsmanship, which is aimed at creating luxe pieces that’ll last a lifetime. Don’t believe me? They offer a lifetime warranty for all purchases that need repairs, which may be free of charge depending upon your claim.

TLDR? It’s not just an expensive coat, it’s Canada Goose.

ICYDK, Canada Goose jacket designs originally started as an effort to aid the Canadian Artic workers. The Snow Mantra parka ($1,895) is one of the oldest pieces in their collection and arguably one of the most famous parkas that’s meant to withstand the harshest of climates in the coldest regions on the planet, per the brand. With a temperature ranking of “Extreme,” “the Snow Mantra is renowned as the warmest coat on earth,” worn on the likes of scientists conducting research in frigid Antarctica. As we like to put it, it’s a damn good coat.

Short answer: absolutely…and that’s coming from a California resident who never sees a real winter unless I travel elsewhere. Canada Goose jackets are worth it if you’re someone who is looking to invest in a sturdy winter coat that will last you forever, is insulating, comfortable, warm and highly functional. If you happen to live in the coldest parts of Canada, Norway or the United States—we’re looking at you Minnesota, Chicago and Colorado—to name a few, you may consider Canada Goose jackets to be a necessity that’s well worth the investment, considering the craftsmanship is top-quality. For others around the world who live in cold (but not freezing) climates, the question of whether the purchase is worth it may depend entirely upon your style and how much you are willing to spend on a winter coat. Dare I say that lifetime warranty does make a compelling argument to the affirmative?
