The guys that try to get something for nothing usually complain the most.

mec.ca. I have a Frontenac? Parka, 7yr old, very warm, worn daily, good as new. On super sale $185. Others on sale as well. Made in China also but sold by a reputable Canadian company.

I bought mine IN a real store. I even got to try it on before I bought it!

Pakistan made is a lot better. Child slavery laws are much more relaxed.

I’m guess you long for the slavery days in US as well.

Well said.

Reminds me of my parents. Good people, but cheap as fuck. They could be treated to a great steak and lobster dinner for $5 and would still complain it should be $4. They could get a nice free dinner paid by myself or my siblings. And they would still complain they didn't like it.

They bought below average or average goods at best and would complain why the stuff breaks down. Well, maybe try out some better brands. Nope. They always skewed to the lower end of the spectrum.

What was this place's approval rating? How many positive reviews? You probably paid at the very least $100 too much.

Anyway, it usually comes squashed in order to save volume. In fact, the bag in which is was packed probably had the air sucked out of it. But it should reinflate no problem.

It could be down. In fact, think of all the Peking Duck restaurants in Beijing; probably where the down comes from... or feathers, or whatever. As for the fur, well, is it real or fake? Try it to see if it's really warm.

Probably will give you as much insulation as those $900 Canada Goose parkas.... that I suspect are also made in China, despite the made in Canada label. They print 'made in Canada' labels in China too.

eBay is crap in general, and even worse if shipper is drop shipping from Asia

Unless the website is incorrect, all Canada Goose products are made in Canada

Yeah, it's all made in Toronto - up Caledonia somewhere. Good stuff and worth the coin.

That's my point. 'Unless the website is incorrect'. I've see some pretty accurate clones in China in the past, including the 'Made in Canada' labels.

Tell you what: instead of spending $900 +HST for a 'Canadian made' brand name parka at a Canadian store, spend $750 for a return ticket to Beijing, and buy a good down parka that you can actually try on at the market, plus a whole lot of cheap clothes, handbags, gadgets, hockey jerseys and stuff like that. Plus, you can visit the Great Wall to boot and other interesting places. In any case, since Beijing will be getting a bit cold in the coming months, your Chinese down parka will serve you well while over there.

For $1000, you will wind up with a parka that's as warm as the brand name one you can buy in Canada, plus you get a trip to China to go along with it! What Canadian outdoor store can match that?

PS: And another thing: They like bargaining over there. If you ask 'how much?', whatever price they give you, divide by 4 and stick to it. They still make enough money.

There are lots of fake Canada Goose products being made in China

One news report was showing Pac Mall selling fakes where stuff like mouse droppings and styrofoam was inside the coats
