.I have to admit I was pretty spoiled with my Canada Goose Hutterite down, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the warmth of the Moncler.
Ultimately, I would put their warmth at almost neck and neck with CG, but with a slight edge to Canada Goose. But, this jacket will definitely suffice in a hard winter where temps are at lows of 5 – 10F and there’s lots of snow.
Stylistically, Moncler has designed an excellent jacket. The black color of the jacket is just right: not too shiny, or too matte. However, there is a little bit more outward flare towards the bottom of the jacket that I didn’t like.

A note on sizing: it generally runs large. So make sure to try it on first. I like a slimmer fit jacket and mine ended up being more puffy than expected.
