Canada Goose takes pride in creating authentic gear to help real people living in extreme conditions battle the elements. Originally developed for scientists working in research facilities at McMurdo station in Antarctica, the Canada Goose Expedition parka allows its wearers to withstand the most frigid temperatures. Not only is it durable and well-insulated, with 625 fill power white duck down, but its iconic design also features a highly functional collection of external pockets, perfect for easy gear storage and hand-warming. When the wind really howls, the tunnel-shaped hood can be pulled tightly around the face, using an adjustable bracing wire, creating a sheltering pocket of air to keep the face warm.
The parka offers a relaxed fit that is designed for maximum comfort and ease of movement. Its mid-thigh length provides exceptional coverage and protection from the elements. The coyote fur ruff surrounding a two-way, adjustable tunnel hood with an adjustable bracing wire is made to reduce wind penetration by allowing you to adjust the size as conditions dictate. A draw-cord waist, a storm flap over the front zipper, and recessed, flexible, heavy-duty rib-knit cuffs help keep the snow and cold wind at bay. Other features include two upper chest pockets and two lower snow pockets, all secured with Velcro flaps, along with four fleece-lined upper and lower pockets with zippered closures.
Made of 85 percent polyester, 15 percent cotton, the Arctic-Tech shell weighs 190 grams per square meter (GSM) and sports a durable water repellent finish. The plain-weave nylon lining weighs 55 GSM and is also treated with a water repellent finish. The insulation is 625 fill power white duck down.
Product Care
When your down-filled parka requires cleaning, it is important that you take it to a dry cleaner and that you do not machine wash it. Machine washing your parka will void the warranty. If your parka has a removable fur option, remove the fur ruff before dry cleaning. If you have a small stain on your parka, another option is to spot-wash the parka with a bleach-free detergent and water.
