Canada Goose manufactures a wide range of jackets, vests, hats, gloves and other cold-weather apparel designed for extreme cold-weather conditions. Canada Goose fills all of its coats with a blend of goose or duck down, as well as some Hutterite down to ensure warmth. Some Canada Goose jackets also utilize coyote fur on the hoods. The jackets are known to be highly coveted garments and are only sold at select high-end retailers.
The garments have been popular in Scandinavia since 1998, and became popular in Canada in about 2008. Many celebrities have been seen wearing the jackets, though the company does not pay them. These celebrities include Drake, Matt Damon, Hilary Duff, Hayden Christiensen and Maggie Gyllenhaal. In addition, the jackets have appeared in some Hollywood movies, with actor Nicolas Cage (in National Treasure) and actresses Jessica Alba (in Good Luck Chuck) and Kate Beckinsale (in Whiteout) wearing the jackets. In the movie The Day After Tomorrow, which chronicles the Earth entering a modern-day ice age, Canada Goose jackets are worn by research scientists representing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Expedition Parka™ is also standard issue for participants in the United States Antarctic Program.

Famous quotes containing the word product:
“Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building—like Tower Bridge—or a classical front put on a steel frame—like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living—not something added, like sugar on a pill.”
—Eric Gill (1882–1940)
“He was the product of an English public school and university. He was, moreover, a modern product of those seats of athletic exercise. He had little education and highly developed muscles—that is to say, he was no scholar, but essentially a gentleman.”
—H. Seton Merriman (1862–1903)
“Humour is the describing the ludicrous as it is in itself; wit is the exposing it, by comparing or contrasting it with something else. Humour is, as it were, the growth of nature and accident; wit is the product of art and fancy.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
