The Canadian winter! With cold temperatures that can go down to -40°C, it can be a difficult season — and it lasts several months. To face it, cover yourself with the right outerwear.

TAKE INTO ACCOUNT:
- YOUR TOLERANCE TO COLD
- YOUR METABOLISM
Many elements come into play when you choose a winter coat. So, it is important to list the many details that make up its composition. Knowing this, you will be able to choose a coat that you know will provide warmth, comfort and convenience.
The length will also minimize the infiltration of the cold. The longer it is, the more you will be protected. A coat that covers the buttocks will be sufficient, and if it goes down to the thighs or even the knees, it will be ideal. Also, the length will give you more comfort in situations where you fall in the snow, slide off a sidewalk or when you have to sit on a bench.
This is the outer layer of the coat. Its main function is to protect against snow, rain and wind, so it must be waterproof and water-repellent. But it also keeps the insulation in place and allows internal perspiration to circulate. It is generally made of nylon or polyester, the most common and least expensive cold weather insulation on the market. For regions with wetter winters, it is important to choose an adapted shell.
A winter coat is hard to separate from a hood, especially since most of our body heat escapes through the head. However, with winters getting colder and colder, it's easier to do without. For this, a removable hood is ideal. Depending on the weather conditions and personal desire, it can be removed. A large adjustable hood will be best if you want to wear a hat and scarf with comfort underneath. Concerning the composition, fur (or fake fur) will be the best choice to block as much as possible the infiltration of snow in case of storm.
The collar protects your neck from the elements. The wind and the cold infiltrate very easily in the neck and a scarf is not always enough. For better comfort, choose a collar covered with fleece. This material is soft and protects perfectly from the cold.
A zipper will be more effective against the infiltration of cold as opposed to a button closure. For optimal insulation and protection against the cold, choose one that goes all the way up to the collar and prefer YKK closures: they are more robust, resistant and comply with quality and safety standards. Also, choosing a double zipper will have a more practical aspect: by closing the inner one and leaving the outer one open, you will be more comfortable when entering interior spaces.
For the outside pockets, make sure they are lined and ideally lined with fleece to ensure maximum protection against the cold. You will have trouble warming up if your hands are cold. They must be large enough to hold your hands and your belongings such as your hat, gloves or wallet. In addition, it is also good to have large interior pockets to slip in your phone for example and thus have access to your headphones. For sports and mountaineering enthusiasts, pay attention to the location of the pockets and their depth.
WINTER NECESSITY
Our super warm iconic jackets feature modern style and
technology while never losing out on practicality.
Keep warm up to-30c
ECOLOGICAL DOWN
Synthetic is an imitation of down, with many qualities. It is more affordable, hypollergenic and easier to maintain than down. Moreover, it resists very well to a humid environment.
However, its insulating capacities are less high and it takes up more space in your luggage.
OUR RECYCLED OUTERWEAR COLLECTION
Why throw our plastic bottles into the ocean when we can make coats out of them?At Point Zero, we recover and shred high-tech recycled plastic and turn it into polyfill. The eco-down becomes ecological and sustainable, while keeping its ability to resist to extreme conditions. Zero waste goal!
INTERIOR & EXTERIOR POCKETS
Our multifunction pockets are strategically placed to keep your hands warm and easily accessible. Lined with soft, insulating materials, these pockets serve as cozy hand warmers, ensuring your fingers stay toasty even in freezing temperatures.
Canada is a big country. From west to east, temperature, humidity, and winter length change radically — so should your coat.

WEAR CLOSE TO THE BODY, TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF AIR INSIDE|
THE LOWER CORDS MUST BE ADJUSTED TO PREVENT HOT AIR FROM ESCAPING FROM UNDERNEATH.
WE LOSE 80% OF OUR HEAT THROUGH OUR HEADS
Even if your coat will allow you to face the winter and its high climatic conditions, it is not useless to add some important accessories.
A scarf and a pair of gloves minimize the infiltration of heat inside, especially if you need your hands outside the pockets.
Also, don't forget other parts of the body not covered by a coat. A good pair of shoes, socks made of a warm material or thermal underpants. These are all additional accessories that are sure to give you the best warmth.
At the end of winter, shake out your coat and air it out so that it is completely dry. Then, store it in a dry and sunny place.
For cleaning, do not hesitate to entrust it to a professional. Otherwise, use a mild liquid soap for the synthetic insulation coat, a special soap for the down. For the latter, dry cleaning is ideal. Before cleaning, zip up the coat.
Wash your coat by hand in a bathtub or front-loading washer on the gentle cycle. Let it soak and lather, then rinse several times. Then remove as much water as possible without wringing.
Dry as soon as the wash is done, especially if your coat is made of down. Be sure to choose a cold or warm air dryer.
