With over 13,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, this internet-famous coat has a massive cult following. You have four large front pockets similar to the classic Canada Goose Expedition parka, although only certain options within the listing come with a fur-trimmed hood. The other options come with a hood lined in a super-soft sherpa fabric for maximum coziness. Handy side-seam zippers make this parka easily adjustable. The Orolay polyester shell has a tight weave, which results in a water-resistant, windproof fabric that couples with 90% duck down and 10% feather insulation to keep you warm and dry no matter how low the mercury dips. Plus, it's available in an impressive range of sizes and colors from fun red to neutral beige and black.

According to one reviewer: "I love this coat, I wasn’t actually expecting to like it. I have worn a famous brand winter coat for years and have recently returned a premium coat for its quality compared to price. I am over the moon with this purchase. I was looking for a warm down filled coat but wanted something a little different to a regular puffa coat. This coat is so well made, so cozy and has a brilliant hood. I would recommend this coat to anyone. [...]”

WenVen’s coat is a solid alternative for the Canada Goose Rowley parka at a fraction of the original’s price. They have the same tailored silhouette with horizontal quilting, a lapped zipper and ribbed cuffs to block drafts, and a removable fur-trimmed hood. (WenVen’s fur is faux, though.) The WenVen is made with a 100% polyester shell that is water-resistant and windproof, and pure polyester filling that you can wash at home instead of spending money on dry cleaning. That said, this coat doesn’t have as many pockets as other models, so if you need to carry lots of gear (or snacks) you should consider one of the other choices on our list. It's available in a range of colors from black to blue to khaki.

According to one reviewer: “This is the best winter jacket I have every had. It was so good I bought my mom one too. [...] I live in Cleveland, Ohio and weather can get really bad here in the winter but when I wore this jacket I didn’t worry about how cold it was. It kept me hot the whole winter. I would literally be sweating in this jacket in [minus] degrees. And it was goodquality. This definitely a multi-winter jacket. I would highly recommend it.”

Beinia’s down parka is similar to WenVen’s coat above in that they both share design elements with the Canada Goose Rowley, but their key differences are worth talking about. The Beinia coat is filled with a 90% down and has a faux fur hood. A two-way zipper lets you unzip the top or bottom for controlled ventilation in case you get too warm. This coat comes in more than 10 colors and prints, from classic black to fun brights like fuchsia and royal blue (featured). Some reviewers say it runs a little small, though, so take that into consideration when choosing a size, especially if you wear lots of layers.

According to one reviewer: "Wearing this coat is like getting a warm hug. I live in Maine and we have negative degree temps. This coat keeps me so warm and the faux fur looks real! Love this coat!"

Escalier’s angled quilting on a fit-and-flare design makes this warm parka one of the most sophisticated choices on this list. Pretty meets practical in details like shoulder straps for easy carrying, an earphone cable channel to keep your cords tucked neatly inside, an adjustable removable hood that features real raccoon fur, and a two-way zipper. Durable water repellent (DWR) polyester in a high thread count creates a waterproof and windproof shell for the cozy 90% duck down and 10% feather insulation with 650 fill power. (Higher fill power corresponds to more insulation. Most products max out at 900 and Canada Goose's coats range from 625 to 800.) This is a refined and functional choice that comes in two colorways.

According to one reviewer: "Wow! What a great investment this was! The quality and fit of this coat was just as expected. Extremely true to size which is perfect because I like certain clothing to fit snug as opposed to loose. This material endures rain pretty well despite not being a raincoat. I highly recommend this coat, especially if you're one of those people who truly desires a Canada Goose but is not able to purchase it just yet for whatever reason."

Orolay first came onto the scene with the down jacket that broke the internet (aka the first jacket on this list). But since then, the brand has expanded its lineup and this mid-length puffer is worth taking note of, not least because it passes as a great Canada Goose alternative. Featuring a weatherproof, 100% polyester shell and a fill blend comprised of 90% white duck down and 10% feather, this warm parka is designed to keep you warm no matter how treacherous it is outside. The best part? It has several adjustable features that let you wear it the way you want, from the front-and-back adjustable hood to the snap-close hem in back. Plus, there are two deep side pockets as well as an interior waist and chest pocket.

According to one reviewer: “Wanted a warm winter jacket that resembled the "Canadagoose" jacket minus the real fur. It does. This is a quality jacket for a fraction of the price of a CG jacket.Color Navy blue is sharp too!”

If you’re a fan of the Canada Goose Loretta jacket, this highly-rated quilted jacket from Steven Madden delivers a similar look for substantially less. Both coats feature chevron quilting and a trim-free, removable hood. The CG Loretta features down fill compared to this Steve Madden’s 100% polyester, but considering the price, that’s to be expected. The fleece lining in this pick adds to its coziness, and the exterior has a water-resistant coating. The coat’s mid-thigh length provides enough coverage to feel toasty without hindering movement.

According to one reviewer: “If you are looking for a down-alternative that is actually warm, this is it. The lining is fleece and extends to the wrists to keep drafts out. The pockets are also fleece lined. There is a filled neck piece that snaps, so even if you don’t have a hat, scarf, or gloves, when all snapped with the hood up and hands in pockets, you’re super warm! The color is beautiful.”

This Eddie Bauer parka will keep your legs warm thanks to its longer length and 650-fill power down that’s responsibly sourced. There’s fleece lining the upper interior and a DWR-coated polyester shell for a cold-weather staple that will keep you warm and dry in any weather. It has a faux fur hood (that’s removable) for days when a scarf isn’t enough or you just want to skip an extra accessory. It's available in four colors and in petite, regular, tall, and plus sizes.

According to one reviewer: "[...]I searched high and low for THE WARMEST possible winter coat that I could get in tall sizes. CanadaGoose would have won, but they don’t make tall sizes. Boo!Eddie Bower was next up, and the price was much better. [...]”

When the temperature plummets, pull out all the stops with Elora’s heavy-duty full-length parka. It offers the cold-weather features you need, starting with a 47-inch length that provides full-body protection. The body's top half is lined in polar fleece to keep your core at an optimal temperature, and its lightweight, water-resistant polyester fabric and insulation dry quickly once you’re indoors. Two exterior pockets feature zipper closures and the sleeves have ribbed knit cuffs so you don't have to worry about snow sneaking inside your pockets or up your arms. Elora offers its own size range so you'll want to compare them to your measurements first before clicking "add to cart." It comes in two colors: black and hunter green.

According to one reviewer: "[...]I opened the package and was literally amazed at the quality! Each seam is perfectly straight, and there are no loose threads anywhere. The design is well thought out, with pockets places well. You can leave your purse at home with this coat! Best of all it fits perfectly. I did order a size up. The coat is extremely warm, but surprisingly easy to move it. I recommend this coat highly - it is a great value!”

Whether you want something that plays nicely with a variety of cold-weather gear or just don’t need a bulky coat, this shorter parka by Alpine North is a great choice with a ton of functional features. It hits just below hip-length for unimpeded movement and features reflective trim for enhanced visibility. Rib-knit cuffs with thumbholes won’t ride up and prevent snow (or chilly drafts) from going up your sleeves. Its faux fur-trimmed hood is fully removable — the trim itself, however, is not. This parka offers plenty of storage with seven pockets: four front welt pockets, one on the sleeve, and two interior pockets where you can store your cell phone to prevent cold weather-induced battery drain. The 100% vegan down insulation is machine-washable, and according to the manufacturer, will keep you warm in temperatures as low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit. Choose from five colors including a bright blue and red as well as classic black and white.

According to one reviewer: “I purchased this coat as an affordable alternative to a CanadaGoose coat. [...] I opened the package and it was immediately clear there was quality in the stitching, pockets, and down alternative. I got an XL because I like the option of wearing a bulky sweater under the coat on the really cold days. The size is perfect, the zippers are smooth, and the temp inside...perfect!!! I am so comfortable and warm in this jacket even in the teen temps. [...]”
