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:
“[As teenager], the trauma of near-misses and almost- consequences usually brings us to our senses. We finally come down someplace between our parents’ safety advice, which underestimates our ability, and our own unreasonable disregard for safety, which is our childlike wish for invulnerability. Our definition of acceptable risk becomes a product of our own experience.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
“Man’s main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
