I would get it for the warmth, not the appendage measuring contest.

*After thinking about it, it’s shocking how many people here think the only value of a product is the brand and not the actual product.

    Yes. This user is stating that you can purchase a cheaper option that’ll be comparatively warm from another company.

    They are suggesting that most of the money you’d pay for the jacket comes from the dick measurement contest, not how warm it is, and thus you shouldn’t purchase one only to destroy most of it’s value instead purchasing another warm jacket.

    If you don’t care about the brand, why specifically buy a brand that’s notoriously overpriced?

    I know very little about this market to be fair, so I’d love to hear these cheaper options myself though

      Canada Goose is the warmest, high quality, lifetime warranty, and made in Canada. That’s the value. Do you think the antarctic program picked Canada Goose because of brand imaging? No. Because they are the best parkas. Didn’t think I would have had to post to unpopular opinion.

        Antarctic program probably chose Canada Goose because they gave a special discount in exchange for brand recognition.
