Spent $600 on a winter jacket I thought was overkill. Totally wrong.

I was against dropping that much on a Canada Goose parka. Thought it was just branding hype. Then last January hit -40 and my old coat couldn't handle the wind. After one commute from downtown to Southgate I caved. Now I get why people pay that. Anyone else here worn down by Edmonton winters enough to pay up?

Oh man, I felt the EXACT same way until last February. I stood outside waiting for the bus at 5am after a night shift and my cheap puffer jacket just gave up. Wind cut right through like I was wearing nothing. Walked straight to Sport Chek the next day and dropped nearly $700 on a heavy parka with real down. Best money I ever spent honestly. My coworkers used to tease me about it until they tried borrowing it on cold breaks. Now two of them own the same jacket.
