Canada Goose Expedition Parka Review

The Canada Goose Expedition parka review is about the timeless Expedition Parka. This coat has won it's notoriety from the scientists that brave the extreme weather and cold down in Antarctica. This inhospitable continent is mystical and beautiful and I would argue that the toasty coats make it a better place as well ;)

The big thing to consider when buying a Canada Goose Expedition Jacket is that you really can afford to drop about $600 dollars on one. That being said, you are really buying a product that will last years and years and if cared for could be given to your children!

The quality and warmth are something that you should really consider if you brave the elements and need a very cold weather coat. Ultimately, many people find the Canada Goose almost a status symbol as all kinds of celebrities are found wearing these around when not nearly cold enough to warrant one. That being said, they are remarkably comfortable even in less frigid temperatures and work much like duvet does in the summer keeping your own body heat in the coat.

This happens due to the ability of the feathers loft of trapping heat in the airspace between the feathers. It's science.

All joking aside, the semi-miraculous ability of these Canada Goose Parkas to keep you toasty warm and looking fine is pretty cool.

Canada Goose Expedition Parka Review

Craving a change in your extreme cold weather outerwear? If you spend longs hours in the cold then Canada Goose is a company you should look into further. The garments, coats, parkas and accessories are second to none. Many people are unaware of the history - this is the reason why I created Canada Goose Expedition Parka Review.

The Company was founded in 1957 and has been providing a number of functional coats or parkas since then that have been very well designed and suited for specific functions. From the Constable parka which was designed with the needs of Law Enforcement in mind to the Expedition Parka made famous by the scientists in Antarctica's most unforgiving wasteland. These are arguably some of the best parkas money can buy.

In recent years these coats have also taken off as a fashion trend and can be seen being worn by celebrities, movie hands and regular folks alike that appreciate good quality and uber warm outwear.

The downside to this rise in popularity is an equal increase in the counterfeiting of these parkas which has mainly been perpetrated in the Orient. Some of these coats are very clever knock-offs that can fool the best and most savvy shoppers looking for a bargain online. A number of them are sold in online auction houses and online classifieds which warrant a thorough investigation before sending any funds overseas.

Ultimately, there are several tell tale signs. The first being price. Many of these jackets are priced over the 500 dollar mark. As the old adage goes: If it seems too good to be true - it is. That is not to say that you cannot find a lightly used Canada Goose parka online for a bargain price, however care should be maintained when seeing a brand new Canada Goose parka for under 200 dollars originating from ports such as Hong Kong.

The second indicator I would look for is the badging on the parka itself. I would ensure that high quality and legitimate pictures are provided of the actual product and compare that with legitimate pictures of the original product. Counterfeiters have become very clever and have spared no expense in producing very convincing copies of these labels and badges and many look very good under the haze of blurry photographs or outright doctored photos.

A third giveaway would be the fur rimmed hood. In most of these parkas you will find genuine coyote fur which has a bendable wire which allows for the wearer to change the shape of the hood to their liking. This does not look like cheap synthetic fur and is very noticeable if looked at carefully.

Ultimately, a smart shopper should attend at a retailer to determine the correct sizing if possible and get a good look and feel of the quality of the garment. Further, should the price not be to their liking a good idea would be to find a reputable dealer online and purchase from them at a discount.

I have taken photo's of my own Canada Goose Expedition Parka and pointed out specifics of how to find a fake Canada Goose Parka. For more information on making an informed purchase of a Canada Goose Parka visit my site: CanadaGooseExpeditionParkaReview.Com
