However as an older more stationary individual my Canada Goose coats work real well for most things I need it for. Even real well when taking my morning and evening 2.5 mile walks. Granted I’m not always able to vent or open the coat enough to avoid complete perspiring but it’s not that big of an issue considering I will be going inside after the end of my walk. So actually big puffy coats do serve a purpose other than just posing. Heck, even at temperatures below 0 degrees I wouldn’t have to worry about putting various layers of clothes on to just take my morning walk. It’s just one coat over a t-shirt, jeans, hat, and gloves and I’m gone. Now I must admit I have more than one but that’s because I have a few coats for temps above 10 and one coat for temps below 10 degrees, but I don’t need to have to put on various layers of clothing to stay warm. Just as I don’t wish to go to the trouble of dressing in layers to get in and out of the car in real cold weather I don’t need to do that for my quick 45 minute walks either.

Have a look at Fjallraven jackets, especially ones using the G1000 material.
As others have said layering is definitely the way ahead. For that I cannot recommend merino wool highly enough. Have a look at the brands Icebreaker or Smartwool. There are several key benefits of merino wool over synthetic material. Well worth looking into. |

One of the great thing about Canada Goose is that they rate their coats with regards to various different tempatures. If you conduct a search on the forum you should be able to find a few good threads on Canada Goose coats.

For a true outdoor work coat, Carhartt or Duluth. You want something tough, and some of the ones posted are for hanging at the ski lodge drinking hot toddy's, not for cutting firewood or doing real work.

I live in Minnesota, so I know what I'm talking about.
C'mon guys. Get with modern times. Tesla's now outperform traditional, old-fashioned, cars. So, on that note, here's the Tesla of jackets -- electric heat!! And here's the best electric jacket: https://www.northerntool.com/shop/to...1128_200871128 |

At those low temps, for the hard work, you need insulated tough double layered overalls, not just a jacket. https://www.carhartt.com/product/104...e=undefined_SW But for milder temps you can play in the Columbia jacket and snow pants through early Spring - but they aren’t work clothes in my definition.

Yes it keeps the area of your body that is covered by the heat cells warm but the rest of your body (and arms) remain cold as the jacket is a soft shell type jacket. The jacket you posted also looks like a soft shell type jacket. Personally, I would not recommend a heated jacket - unless you plan to wear it under a well insulated jacket. |

Fjällräven, Patagonia, The North Face, as outer layer. Merino base and/or fleece mid layers.

These are only great as a mid layer while snowmobiling to insulate your core. I wouldn’t wear one for outdoor work. |

You might consider the Filson Mackinaw Packer coat…

I couldn’t imagine a $1500 Canada Goose for work lol. Why not a shiny moncler instead!
I’d skip anything “tech” for doing work, they just won’t hold up. Too likely to rip etc. some of their parkas from arcteryx etc might work, but it’s now $700 for a rough work coat? I have a ripped Arc Atom AR from doing light work around the house… I think rubbing on brick lightly did it lol. Carhart or similar (Filson if rich) will be much more durable. Merino base layer to wick sweat and a puffer mid layer, different weights depending on weather, would be my plan. |

I have a Patagonia jacket that works well with layers. But I’m on the hunt for a cold weather jacket. Cold for me is 40* in Northern California .

When I absolutely need to be warm I wear my Canada Goose. If I know I’m going to be extremely active outdoors and getting possibly dirty ( at work, hiking) I’ll layer and wear my Kuiu. Kuiu sells gear for hunting. So it is made for going from standing still for a long time to working hard. Now I don’t actually hunt so I’m not recommending it for that but it’s a great jacket for outside activities.
Most of their stuff is advertised in camouflage but almost everything they sell has non camo colored options. They sell their gear with four temperature ratings Frigid, Cold, Mild and Hot. |

I was more speaking from a point of exertion such as what the OP described his use needs and, of course, my own. |

I agree, they do. So if nothing else no matter the reason I think it was good that was pointed out.

Just go with a real leather jacket. Wear some layers under. Search for one with perfect arm lenght and you will still be able to see your watch!
