How Northern Sun Jackets are Made for Canada’s Wild Weather

by Jason Crowley 11 Sep 2024

Living in Canada, we know that the weather can be unpredictable. One minute it’s sunny and calm, and the next you’re battling a snowstorm. That’s why at Northern Sun, we pour our heart and soul into designing jackets that can handle Canada’s wildest weather. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we create outerwear that’s tough enough for Canadian life.

Inspired by Real Canadian Adventures
Every Northern Sun jacket starts with a purpose: making your life easier, whether you’re commuting, adventuring, or just enjoying the outdoors. Our designs are inspired by real Canadian adventures. Take the Dawson Down Jacket, for example—named after the rugged Dawson City in the Yukon. It’s designed to provide warmth and protection on those cold, windy days, but it’s also packable and easy to carry, perfect for the adventurer on the move.

Tested Against the Elements
Before any of our jackets make it to you, they go through extensive testing to ensure they can stand up to the toughest Canadian conditions. From waterproofing tests to make sure you stay dry in the rain, to insulation tests that guarantee warmth in freezing temperatures, we leave no stone unturned. Our goal is to create outerwear that works as hard as you do, no matter what the weather throws your way.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Choices
At Northern Sun, we’re also committed to protecting the environment we love to explore. That’s why we use eco-conscious materials and finishes, such as water-resistant fabrics free from harmful chemicals. We believe you can have high-quality, durable outerwear without sacrificing sustainability, and that’s what sets Northern Sun apart from the rest.

When you wear a Northern Sun jacket, you’re not just getting protection from the elements—you’re wearing a piece of Canada. Our jackets are built for the way Canadians live, with practicality, warmth, and adventure in mind.
