While true, there are many New Yorker's adorned in Canada Goose, although their time spent outdoors is minimal, using an automobile to get from Point A to Point B and it is more of a "status" item than a useful piece of clothing. On the other hand, there are New Yorkers who WALK everywhere in the city, no matter the temperature and if walking along the Hudson river in January, it can be mighty cold.

A number of my neighbors and myself got together and using this offer, purchased a Canada Goose parka for our favorite doorman for Christmas. No matter the weather, he walks 90 minutes to work both ways and he will appreciate the jacket on those cold days and is something he told us he would love to have. Last year we purchased a Canada Goose jacket for our super which he wears all the time during his weekends at his upstate New York home - could we have purchased something less expensive and just as functional, yes, but we really value the wonderful employees in our building and like to show our appreciation for their 110% effort each and everyday and in the long run, is a very small token and for our employees, they like to be able to have the same items as the residents they serve.

BTW - I am glad that I read the T&C of this offer - it is not valid at the Canada Goose Fifth Avenue store!
