Canada Goose vs Nobis (for men

Hi Im trying to buy a winter jacket for upcomming winter and Im thinking between Canada Goose and Nobis.. I asked some of my friend and their opinion was 50/50
Im trying to find a longer winter jacket which cover my hip.
I think Nobis is more expensive than Canada Goose, but some shops have discounted Nobis while there are no discounts for Canada Goose

It is so tough to decide.. so what is your recommendation? Thinking about design price and warmth

Discounts can be had for both, it's just that the CG one's don't come around as often. Most other brands tend to have heavy markdowns at the end of season and/or boxing day / week.

I've have/had the bombers from each brand. (Chiliwack for CG and Cartel for Nobis), and while I like the aesthetic of the Cartel more, I think the warmth of the CG was better. (Aesthetics and warmth are probably inversely-related though)

Have you looked into specific models from each brand? You want hip coverage but I've only had bombers, so I can't really comment on that.

Have you looked into any other brands at all? It's might be dated, but this thread is very useful: outerwear-jacket-reviews-cg-cmfr-mk-nobis-etc-1129381/

Sounds like ur looking for a parka. Tons of brands and models that fit that spec not just CG and nobis. You havent told us your price range, activities, environment, specs required, etc the coat will be used in...
If the glove don't fit you must acquit! #WINNING

CG is almost like uniform on university campus. There was a queue to get into CG store in Yorkdale mall. I don't understand why CG can attract so many followers. I find brands like Arc'teryx and Moncler are less bulky and more stylish.

Same can be said for iPhones, compared to Samsung, LG, Sony, etc.

The only reason that is... is becuz they only allow a few in the store at a time. Security guard in a black suit acts as the gatekeeper. Store kinda sucks. Doesnt seem to be a whole lot of inventory. Cant believe peeps wait an hr to get in when they have the same access to same models at sporting life, no line ups. There's a new arcteryx store right across from CG. Not bad... very well stocked.

They're pretty much the same thing....both trendy, both gonna keep you warm. Design and price are a bit different....those are gonna be up to you.

Nobis you'll look less like a sheep amongst the millions of CG jackets on Toronto streets.

Nobis is made in China.
Considering CG quality has been declining lately whilst jacking up the price for no other reason than to screw the new gens.. I see no difference.

I'm happy that I still have my expedition from like 2005. Quality on that jacket is impeccable. Ruff is a bit nappy but that's about it.

New CGs, no thanks. Much better options out there.

Not that i can speak on CG quality since I have never owned one, but im guessing the quality has gone down due to the popularity. Ramping up productions to keep up with the demand.....

Agree on the cut and style for Nobis much sharper and fitting than CG. Also much more functional with more warm pockets, pit vents. Warmth all depends on how person takes it.
