kickingfrog Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I wake up to school. LOL! I'm sure there is a few of us who have done the same thing. Some of those desks are comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistaredone Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 For warmth and functionality I prefer Arc'teryx over Canada goose and it's a bit less $$$$. I have the fission sv jacket and use it for fall/ice fishing, skiing, and snowmobiling- by far the warmest jacket I have ever used. Arc'teryx jackets are top quality jackets but you pay for the quality. Id guess the Canada Goose are in the higher end on price to but I've never checked.

adempsey Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Are you buying it because she asked for a warm coat, or specifically a Canada Goose coat? The Canada Goose coats have been very fashion trendy for the past couple of years, so if it's for fashion reasons make sure you buy the actual brand =) I see all these kids wearing them in downtown Toronto and I just think how hot they must be, lol. I'd sweat my Ferrero Roches off just walking down the street in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cram Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I saw shop.ca advertising a deal on them. No idea which ones or if the price was any good (i don't know what they normally cost), but it might be worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITEME Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Here is a little suggestion Canadian military surplus for winter stuff it is tough to beat Just saying I dont know what the goose stuff is like now at one time it was expensive great quality and bullet proof but it was elite it seems to be very main stream now not saying quality has dropped but i cant see it being the same as it was I could be very wrong on this but it seems more a fashion statement now as opposed to a survival garment.

woodenboater Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 If she's looking for something fashionable, then I'd suggest steering away from CG if only because everyone and their relative is wearing them now. Maybe take a look at this Canadian company's parkas. A friend has one of their down parkas and stayed toasty warm in it. People might be put off or turned on by their cool/hip meter (their photo gallery is quite nice but maybe not for kid's eyes) but they're not as ubiquitous if that matters. http://store.mooseknucklescanada.com/ My hands down fav down parka was an early Eddie Bauer but I'm now wearing a North Face parka.

Its not for me. I'm old, married with kids. But some of my younger co-workers tell me about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 As some have said lots and lots of fakes around. Especially on line. Some VERY good fakes except the fur on the collar is usually not coyote, I'll leave you to figure that one out for yourselves....Usual buyer beware signs apply. If the price seems too good to be true it usually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADB Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Good luck finding a sale on them...they don't allow their retailers to sell them at a discount. That is why all stores. whether it is Le Baron or Harry Rosen sell them for more or less the same price. I've heard some stories about Costco and Bass Pro carrying them at one point, but after discounting them, Canada Goose no longer allowed them to place orders for upcoming seasons. Best bet it to buy at Le Baron...buy their membership for $25 and save 10%. So you'll net save $25 on a $500 coat, plus you'll have their membership for a year.

Moosebunk Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Best parkas ever... that's why everyone has one in the north. While wearing them, one can fit a candy store and a couple kids inside. While cooking turkeys under your armpits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 My sister in law has one. The most time she spends outside in the winter is walking from the front door to her car. I just don't get it :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 The warden got me one for Xmas last year... the only place I would actually wear it, would be ice fishing, but I was told in no uncertain terms, that it is NOT TO BE USED for ice fishing as it's too expensive to have perch gut/puke stains. To be honest, I don't even know where she hid it from me! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

registerfly Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Not sure if this is a CG outlet store or not but a quick googling turned this up... http://www.winterparkasoutlet.com/ at those prices you can be GUARANTEED they are FAKE. No legit retailer be it brick and mortar/online is allowed to discount CG as it is not allowed by them. As was mentioned in earlier post, LeBaron is the best bet with your card. The Richmond Hill location moves a ton of them. Edited December 6, 2012 by registerfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
