Canada Goose Trillium vs. Montebello Parka

Canada Goose's are a great investment for people who live in a colder climate. The price of the Goose are jaw dropping but worth it. The great thing about the price is that it is set all across the stores in North America, meaning that they are not allowed to go on sale, or are redeemable with any promotional discount. 

That being said, I'm going to talk about two of the most popular parkas of Canada Goose, the Trillium and Montebello. Both retail for the exact same price ($649).

The first/top picture is the Montebello Parka, and the bottom picture is of the Trillium Parka.

As you can see, the Trillium Parka is a bit longer in length but that's not all.

The Trillium Parka is Regular Insulated, and the length will hit around mid-thigh if you are average height and is great to keep yourself warm in temperatures of -15 to -25 degrees. Also the Trillium Parka has a fitted back, so it will show off your waist a bit without making you look like a marshmallow! The hood on the Trillium Parka is kind of big, and gets into your eyes a bit. 

The Montebello Parka on the other hand, is just an average parka length (will barely cover your butt) and is geared towards temperatures of -10 to -20 degrees, it also fits slim.

I feel as if the Trillium Parka doesn't have as much neck protection as the Montebello Parka, like you always have to wear a scarf with the Trillium Parka unless you zip your parka all the way up to the top but that's just uncomfortable. The Montebello Parka on the other hand has a fleece lined chin guard, so it does give more warmth and neck protection.

Also, the Montebello Parka is definitely better off for winter activities (snowboarding, skiing) just because it is shorter, and probably a bit more mobile than the mid-thigh length Trillium Parka!

The length of the Trillium Parka is 91.44cm and the length of the Montebello Parka is 70.5cm.

Both of the parkas come with the exact same fill (625 fill power white duck down) and both come with the removable coyote fur ruff! 

All in all, I prefer the Trillium Parka simply because it is longer and covers my butt, and it looks cute with boots!

My recommendation is to definitely go into an authorized retailer and try it on, because every fits differently into the jackets, and if you're going to spend that much money on a jacket you should at least try it on. Son't get tempted by the prices that online retailers offer, because it's most likely fake! I wouldn't even risk a fake Canada Goose because there could be all shorts of insulation problems, mold growth, and so on!
