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:
“Labor is work that leaves no trace behind it when it is finished, or if it does, as in the case of the tilled field, this product of human activity requires still more labor, incessant, tireless labor, to maintain its identity as a “work” of man.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The product of the artist has become less important than the fact of the artist. We wish to absorb this person. We wish to devour someone who has experienced the tragic. In our society this person is much more important than anything he might create.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-traveled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
