All I know is that I enjoy watching videos of people doing extreme outdoors stuff. Like climbing Everest or K2. They all wear north face. I appreciate that a lot of it is probably sponsored gear, but regardless, they are literally surviving a blizzard on the side of a huge mountain in north face. That’s good enough for me around town.

[nickcerentos]

I wear my North Face because im scared of getting mugged when I wear my Canada Goose outside in Chicago

[bflathead]

I purchased an Eddie Bauer parka at their outlet store for $99.00 on a hot summer day. I have it 10 + years and it’s still keeping me warm on those brutal cold days.

When I first saw the chiliwack it was 800 in like 2010. I bought a mcmurdo in 2019 and it’s literally the reason I look forward to the winter. I bought it for the functionality, not to style necessarily. But it looks good as well. Canada goose to me also turned into too much of a fashion and status statement i didn’t want to represent.

Just copped the north face parka. Was gonna get a medium but after seeing a fit alittle bigger I went with a small. You confirmed the bigger fit as well. Great video!

[jjailinger]

Owner of 5 McMurdo jackets, and there have been slight feature changes over the years but all of them I have found to be EXTREMELY warm. Wearing this coat in 39° F I would sweat to death, I dont even pull these out of the closet unless its 15°F or colder. Would love to try a Canada Goose at somepoint but dont have any expectation that it will perform much differently to justify the high price, more of a luxury item.

[nomadchad]

I've had both 12+ years and I like them both. The North face Mcmurdo is a more useful temperature range and better pockets. The goose is only -20 and below and when you need to stand around a lot as it's so pooffy it's more difficult to do physical work while wearing. I payed 250 for the NF and 475$ for the resolute in 2005.

[qidongxu]

I would rather pay 200 for wool underwear and the 400 North Face rather than spending 1000+ for the Canada Goose. That will definitely be warmer

[Klingonmastr]

$1500 is a lot to spend on a jacket. You can get a North Face or Patagonia jacket for around 1/5 of the price and it will be just as durable. Many of the Polo Ralph Lauren down jackets I noticed have around 650 or 700 fill which I assume is pretty standard for down jackets.

[davidsong]

You also need to consider other factors as for the higher price like offering a lifetime warranty and being manufactured in Canada as opposed to TNF being manufactured in countries like China, Bangladesh, Vietnam etc.

Great review! I really appreciate the sizing and fit details you provided, especially your own measurements i.e. 5’10, 160lbs for frame of reference. Most ppl neglect this super important info in their reviews but it’s what the viewer is really looking for. “How will it fit on me?”

[jayjay]

Has anyone seen the video of jeffrey epstien leaving his ny mansion in a white parka with a fur hood can anyone tell what brand it is😮

[rickhunter]

North Face all the way! Canada Goose should be called Canada Duck, because the most of their products are made out of Duck down.

[Calidastas]

Some of the best parkas are made by a small British company called Shackleton. They have some expensive stuff but it’s quality, construction, materials and design are top tier. If you really need some next level cold/weather protection I’d look there. Still, I mostly use a down lawyer with a goretex technical shell. Hard to beat.

[anythingbutyou]

Just ordered a brand new mcmurda because I needed an upgrade. The NF parka that i own i have bought back in 2006 and it has been through it all and still going. I just needed a cosmetic upgrade, plus, i lost my fur lining for the hood.
So overall, NF all the way

[kenchoate]

My Northface is 40 years old and going strong. Cost about 200 bucks and delivered great service in dozens of cold weather camping trips. My camping days are over but the NF keeps me toasty when sitting for hours in freezing temps with the usual layering. The Canadian gear is overpriced with out better performance. Style becomes irrelevant when it comes to staying warm and surviving in cold weather.

[notsporks]

Bought the mcmurdo for this winter storm that just hit for $280. Absolute beast when I layered a normal long sleeve under it. Well worth the price

[ericfallabel]

I ordered a McMurdo online, tried it on, and returned it today. My true size is Medium, but the medium fit more like a large or XL. Really strange sizing, even when considering layering under it

[steveath]

Thanks for the doing the warmth test. Awesome down jacket video, would love to see more brands

I bought a nautica coat in 2009 and kept it for 10 years and it was the best quality ever and threw it away 5 years ago and I love it wish still had it❤
