Man, woman, youth or infant?

The first important distinction you need to make prior to buying a Canada Goose jacket is, well, determine who you are buying it for. Men’s jackets are differently designed than women’s jackets, and so are the jacket’s designed for youths or infants. This will come in handy later, when you have to take your exact measurements to see how they fit with the information we will present you below.

Generally, the rule of thumb is that men are bigger than women, women than youths and youths than infants. There are of course exceptions to this rule, but do keep it in mind.

Canada Goose Fits

Canada Goose differentiates their products by their fit, or, how they attach themselves to a user’s body. There are three different categories for men, three more for women and a final one for babies, kids & youth. As we mentioned before, a slim fit design for males is different than a slim fit design for women. Generally, these fit categories can be described as follows:

• Slim Fit: Designed to wrap themselves around your body, these tend to leave little extra room for other layers of clothing underneath them. Oriented towards younger age categories, some adults may find less to their liking than regular fit lines. This type holds an inherent advantage compared to the rest when it comes to lightness, flexibility and high-speed movement. Since these are tight, if you are unable to decide which size fits you best, the wise move is usually to pick the larger of your two choices.
• Regular Fit: Regular fits are what you would expect from most winter jackets. They offer less freedom of movement and flexibility than their slim fit counterparts and weight less than the relaxed fit type. For this type of fit, you are probably going to need your usual, normal size.
• Relaxed Fit: If you start thinking of relaxed fit as slim fit’s most distant relative you are on the right track. This type allows for plenty of space underneath it, so that you can fit several layers of extra clothing. These can be extremely big, so it is better to lean towards the side of caution when picking your size: Go with the smaller one. Relaxed fit jackets are your best friends if you are planning to on arctic explorations or venturing to likewie extremely cold places.
• Babies, kids & youth: As these are sized differently to reflect how their uses are smaller, they are a categories of their own.

Measurements

The most important thing you can do to ensure your Canada Goose products will fit you nicely is to measure your proportions. Depending on whether you are male, female, or you’re interested in getting a jacket for your kids, you should focus on different things.

• Men should focus on their chest, waist and hips.
• Women on their bust, waist and hips.
• Youth and kids should measure their height, chest, waist low hip, inseam, full sleeve length as well as factor their ages.
• And finally, babies, should factor their age and weight.
