If there’s one wardrobe staple that’s always (always, always!) worth the investment, it’s a quality winter jacket. While you can toy around with quantity over quality for other cold-weather staples, a winter coat is something you don’t want to mess with — especially in Canada.

The Made-in-Canada outerwear brand has developed the Thermal Experience Index (TEI) to help you find the right jacket for your body, activities and lifestyle. While a Canada Goose coat is undoubtedly a financial investment, fans of the brand will swear their allegiance, promising the upfront costs are worth the years-long usage.
