Just moved to canada from Texas. Need a winter jacket.

What do you canucks recommend as a good winter jacket that doesn't kill the bank? The stores near me are MEC and Atmosphere.

Where in Canada? Edmonton gets a lot colder than Toronto gets a lot colder than Vancouver.

Torontofag here, I seldom have to deal with -20C and never below -30C. A basic synthetic MEC parka is fine, with a sweater or a fleeece on colder days. But mine's a few years old, and MEC has gotten pretty shitty lately so I can't vouch for their current model (which seems to be the Frostbreaker).

I also have a nice down parka but it's too hot for anything above 0F if I'm moving at all. It would be good for prairie winters though.

Depends o where you are/ what you can handle

Eitherway buy a water/windproof shell and layer with sweaters, thats way more effective

Also check out snowboard/ski stuff. If you can find a clearance sale (which happens at the beginning and end of each season at alot of places) and you wont have to pay the full price for a quality jacket
