The cold months can get incredibly harsh. Have you been looking for the best winter coats to buy in Canada to help you ward off the chill while enjoying time outside with friends and family? You are in luck. Here are our selections for the 5 best winter jackets to help you stay warm throughout the cold days of the year.
1. Columbia Winter Jackets
Warmth
Columbia jackets first made their unforgettable parka debut in 1986 – the 2-layer Bugaboo jacket. The brand hit it big with fans thanks to the unique Omni-Heat and Thermarator insulation technology used to make their items. The Omni-heat thermal reflective technology uses tiny metallic dots arranged in unique patterns in the fabric to reflect body heat and retain warmth. Over the years, the technology has been refined many times to further make Columbia jackets warmer and more breathable.
Columbia’s Thermarator technology is also a favourite among fans. Jackets made with it are made of finer fabrics that can help conserve heat without being too heavy. Despite being effective at keeping you warm, a Columbia jacket made with this technology will not appear too big or puffy and slim enough to wear under a backpack.
Sizes Available
Columbia makes jackets for both men and women – from size small to extra, extra-large for men, and from size extra small to extra-large for women.
