I suspect the Kensington would be less puffy looking, but the Trillium was slightly less expensive, it was rated for lower temps (I run fairly cold), and I was concerned about the fit issue.</p> <p>I wore this parka twice yestetday, for two separate walks (maybe two hours total time). It was raw outside, in the 30's, moist, and blustery. I typically would have been shivering and tightly curled in. I removed the hood but had a hat and light gloves. I was comfortably warm,l.</p> <p>I figured it would be too warm for the 30's but I can modulate the temp by removing/using the hood and adjusting the top/bottom zippers.</p> <p>I think the hood throws it into arctic parka land and I felt more comfy/looked less puffy without it, but it will come in handy as the temps drop.<br /> Did you try a Kensington? I thought you had one on the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puff-puff-goose#post-1397025 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 05:17:49 +0000 bj1111 1397025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unmmm...it looks so puffy on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puff-puff-goose#post-1396637 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 14:42:45 +0000 Tanya 1396637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful choice!&nbsp; The color is gorgeous and I am sure it is very warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puff-puff-goose#post-1396635 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 14:40:02 +0000 Deb 1396635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choice Tania.

The fit looks just right for a Trillium. As you've mentioned, a Canada Goose parka has a totally different vibe than a fashion parka--the look is highly sought after by some, but doesn't appeal to others--different strokes for different folks. To my eye, it looks odd when I see people trying to make this kind of parka look more "fashionable" by sizing down for a more "shrunken" look--the outer shell starts pulling in strange places and the sleeves look too short to keep the wrists adequately covered. </p> <p>As for layering under, I wouldn't be too fussed as the jacket is seriously warm and works best with a layer of air between the wearer and the jacket. It's that "dead" airspace that keeps you toasty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puff-puff-goose#post-1396189 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 17:26:33 +0000 Tania 1396189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too puffy?&nbsp; This is the Trillium, size Medium.&nbsp; I went with the regular cut Trillium vs. the slim cut Kensington.&nbsp; My chest put me in the Large range but I was in between Sm/Med based on waist and hip (per usual).&nbsp; I figured the regular cut would give me more wiggle room.&nbsp; I have a wool/silk thermal layer and a thin merino sweater under it, there is more than enough room for another thicker layer, and I have more than enough arm/movement room.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Hmm.&nbsp; I'm wondering if I should try the Kensington.&nbsp; That would be slimmer/lighter weight.</p> <p>I have an LL Bean parka on the way too.&nbsp; </p> <p>Thoughts on how this size seems on me?&nbsp; This wouldn't be a fashion coat.&nbsp; I just want hard-core warmth that isn't too sleeping baggish.&nbsp; </p> <p>Photos are from my 8 year old.&nbsp; </p>
