Many of the brands we usually talk about on our site are similar to each other in their particular characteristics.
To make your purchasing process easier and also give you some alternatives to the famous brands that you may already know, we have started our “Brands like…” article series, where in the last few weeks we have suggested you some outdoor companies like Patagonia and some others similar to The North Face.
These are similar to each other in terms of product quality, types of products, price range, company vision, and so on.
Today we will continue with a selection of 6 brands like Canada Goose, the company born in 1957 in Toronto, that is famous all over the world for the high quality and warmth of their jackets, especially down-insulated parkas, and their luxury-level prices.
Most of the brands we have chosen here are from Canada too and belong to the luxury market segment, and the quality and performance of their jackets are indisputable, just as one might expect.
In addition, along with a general description and their history, for each of these brands, we have a jacket suggestion that we have picked from their product range.
So, let’s begin right away with our selection!

The Alistair II women’s design is part of the SAGA collection by Triple Fat Goose. This is a “very hot” example of the brand’s philosophy, which guarantees, as the brand says, “warmth since 1987”.
This parka is equipped with a patented hydrophobic nanotech coating, which makes it water-resistant and at the same time breathable.
The price of the parka is more than $500, depending on where you purchase it. Considering that the average prices of this brand are quite high, we believe the cost of this jacket is good for its quality.

A functional element is present in every detail of their jackets. Suitable for urban winters, their jackets are breathable and waterproof, and each one has its own particular features that make it unique.

Stud is a quilted puffer jacket for women, available in different colors. Made of shiny nylon, in addition to its aesthetic characteristics, its lightness and warmth play a fundamental role.
This warmth is obtained thanks to the drawstring on the hem, and to the insulation of course, which is 800 fill-power Canadian white Hutterite duck down, high quality, and highly prized down.
The jacket has a price that we believe is in line with those of similar brands: around $600.
