Canada Goose, despite being ubiquitous and oversaturated, is reliable, if boring. The coat is filled with 625 fill power (fill power indicates the quality of the down; in this case, one ounce of down can cover 625 cubic inches) North American duck (which is pretty hilarious for a brand called Canada Goose) down (which is pretty good, but not excellent).
Through this experience, Upton says she's learned that sea ice is integral to not only the bears' survival but the planet's. "Polar bears are the messengers of climate threats we all face," she says. "They need sea ice as a platform to hunt on, and people around the world need sea ice to help keep our planet at a stable temperaturein the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic." She's also quick to rattle off worrying stats about the bears' plight: "There are 19 different polar bear populations across the Arctic, with 19 different stories," she says.
I don't currently own a full - length down parka (though I used to), so have been borrowing the "Mystique Parka" (designed to be mid - calf length) from my mom, who has it in two colors. The style in size XXS measures 48" inches in overall length, and is truly full - length on 5'2" me, falling a mere 6 or so inches above the ground with my trusty Sorel Caribou Boots on (wear with Smartwool socks for maximum warmth).
On her mission, Upton learned that the number of polar bears on the western shore of Hudson Bay, where Churchill is located, has declined 30 in the last thirty years, and that if the Arctic Canada Goose Vests continues to warm, 2 3 of the world's polar bears could be lost over the next thirty.
