ABOUT US

DESIGNED BY CANADIANS FOR LIFE IN CANADA

From your morning commute to spontaneous weekend getaways, Northern Sun creates versatile, eco-conscious outerwear that fits seamlessly into your life. Because when it comes to living in Canada, your gear should be as adaptable as you are.

We’re not just about jackets; we’re about making life easier, more comfortable, and a bit more fun. Whether you’re out exploring, hanging with friends, or simply getting through your to-do list, we’ve got your back—literally. Northern Sun is for everyday adventurers who want gear that works as hard as they do, with a style that feels effortless.

Northern Sun was born in the late 1970s, inspired by the beauty of Canada’s winters and the adventurous spirit that comes with living here. Fast forward to today: we’ve spent the last two years redesigning our jackets to keep up with the life you live. Whether you’re tackling your daily commute, running errands, or heading off on a weekend adventure, Northern Sun is built for wherever your day takes you.

We get it—life in Canada means unpredictability, and your gear should handle it all. That’s why our jackets are designed to transition seamlessly from the hustle of the city to the calm of a cabin getaway. And our lightweight down jacket, which folds into a travel neck pillow, isn’t just another piece of outerwear—it’s the perfect sidekick for all the moments in between.

At Northern Sun, sustainability isn’t a buzzword—it’s how we do business. Every product we make is certified by the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 , ensuring safe, ethical, and sustainable practices from start to finish.

Our finishes are just as thoughtful. We use BIONIC-FINISH® ECO , a plant-based water-repellent treatment that’s free from PFAS and other forever chemicals , because what keeps you dry shouldn’t harm the planet.

But we didn’t stop there. We’ve visited our factories, met our suppliers, and tested our jackets to guarantee they’re built to handle your active lifestyle. It’s all part of our commitment to creating gear you can feel good about—inside and out.

Ever felt like you’re paying way too much for gear that only fits one purpose? Us too. Our founder, Jason, was tired of overpriced, overly specialized jackets that didn’t deliver the flexibility—or the peace of mind—he needed. That’s why we re-imagined Northern Sun: to give you outerwear that works hard, looks great, and aligns with your values. Crafted with responsibly sourced materials, certified ethical manufacturing, and eco-friendly finishes, our jackets deliver quality without compromise—for you and the planet.
