With winter coming, everyone is starting to shop around for a warm winter coat. But the big question is: which one will keep you the warmest without making you look like an abominable snowman? Today’s article highlights for you two coats that meet these important criteria: the Gotham Jacket by The North Face and the Chilliwack Parka by Canada Goose.

Last winter I answered a lot of questions from many clients on Altitude-sports.com, who wanted to know the differences between these two very similar models, their style and their characteristics. With an urban look, these hip-length jackets are insulated with down and made for men and women. They have plenty of pockets, fur around the hood, and rib-knit cuffs that keep out the wind. One last point before we get into the heart of the matter: down is a very effective insulator, and even though there are other synthetic options such as, Primaloft and fleece, it is still the best for those who don’t stand up very well to the cold.

L’hiver approche et vous commencez à zyeuter les manteaux isolés en vous demandant : lequel me gardera le plus au chaud tout en m’évitant le look « patate au four »? Ma chronique d’aujourd’hui vous éclaircira sur deux manteaux qui remplissent ces critères si importants : le Gotham par The North Face et le Chilliwack Parka de Canada Goose.

Ayant conseillé plusieurs clients d’Altitude-sports.com l’hiver passé, j’ai reçu beaucoup de questions visant à faire un choix entre ces deux modèles, au style et caractéristiques fort semblables. Les deux sont isolés avec du duvet, s’arrêtent aux hanches, sont truffés de poches, possèdent de la fourrure autour du capuchon, des manchons coupe-froid et arborent un look urbain. Les deux modèles se font en version homme et femme. Dernière petite note avant d’entrer dans le vif du sujet; le duvet est un isolant extrêmement efficace et bien qu’il existe d’autres options telles que le Primaloft, la laine polaire et autres isolants synthétiques, il demeure l’isolant préféré des québécois frileux.
