  Wow... Nice Jacket

  02/04/22

  Jacket just arrived today, and I must say that I am very impressed with the workmanship! I was contemplating the Quartz Vostok and the CG Macculloch. I recently was able to look at the CG at a retailer in person, and unfortunately was not impressed with the materials, nor with the fact everything appeared to grab onto the fabric. The only way I was able to see the Quartz Vostok was to order it, and I am glad I did because I am thoroughly impressed with the materials quality, and the fact that it is a lesser well known Canadian Made brand!

  Super warm, light-weight despite the size and a better alternative to Canada Goose coats

  01/25/21

  Great alternative to the Goose as I didn't want a jacket with an obnoxious logo on it. The jacket is super warm, the pockets are surprisingly practical and capacious and, considering the size, the coat is not that heavy. The only "downside" given the warmth is that you definitely need to open the jacket while in the grocery / warmer setting. It has some vents on the side to help adjust in "warmer" winter weather so it hasn't been a problem in normal winter conditions. Also note that I was debating whether the plastic ID/badge/ski pass window on the breast would be annoying while considering the jacket. It's not too obtrusive in my view. Highly recommended.

  Could be better!

  01/09/21

  I bought this parka sight unseen. I was unable to see the intricate details in person that may have stopped me from buying it. Although, it was a good value since I got it at a discounted price and that is the reason I didn’t return it. The GOOD; Fit was well done as were the thumb loop cuffs. The 750 power fill down was superior to its competitors. Fabric has a good hand and is not too stiff. DWR finish works well but durability has yet to be determined. -use of 3M reflective strips superior to competition The BAD; -coyote trim is thin and not like the Canada Goose Mantra or OSC mission. -although a good idea, hood wire is badly executed -no funnel hood like OSC and CG -no reinforced elbows or shoulders -no inner backpack straps to carry parka when weather gets warmer or when indoors -750 power fill down not as good as OSC’s 800 -although most pockets were bellows style, they were undersized and therefore had limited capacity. CG and OSC both had larger pockets which are much better suited to storing additional gear. -unlike OSC, the shell fabric is not waterproof/breathable with taped seams -not enough internal pockets. Thee is only one tiny vertical pocket to store a wallet inside the parka. Most other manufacturers have generous internal pockets to store hat and mitts and survival gear. This is a huge deficiency -outer side entry pockets are too shallow to shield bare or gloved hands from the wind and cold -elastic draw cords are too thin and delicate. These will not be durable enough for the intended purpose of this parka -snow skirt is not removable or insulated -D-loops are simply sewn through and not reinforced or bar tacked. They also use Delrin plastic instead of steel and considering that Delrin plastic should not be relied upon below -40 degrees, this is not compatible with the temperature range of this parka and could result in a D-loop snapping off in your hands. -upper side vent zippers are hard to access with gloves or mitts on since there are no zipper pulls -no emergency shoulder pull straps in case wearer needs to be pulled out or away from danger -no integrated polar fleece neck gaiter like OSC The parkas from Canada Goose and Outdoor Survival Canada seem to be really made for Arctic/Antarctic use and the Vostok seems to want to imitate but not exactly follow through on the features that are necessary to put it in the same league. Yes the parka is $150 to $200 cheaper than the other 2 mentioned but this is still a premium priced parka that just falls short. They certainly don’t have the same overhead that Canada Goose has so they could have easily made the parka better without increasing the retail price. Think twice if you are buying this for an epic trip to a really cold place for work or adventure, it is much better suited to be used as a cold weather walking parka where you want to stay warm.

  Quartz Vostok - good quality gear but fits large

  12/07/20

  The Vostok was an impressive parka but I found it to be a size larger than expected, but consistent with the Canada Goose sizings that run large as well. Good build quality and nice detailing.

  Don't let a dry cleaner near this coat and it will remain 100% not just 95% perfect.

  I have owned this coat for over 5 years and it is still my "go-to" for any outdoor activity where < -10 degrees (C) This coat was a life-saver when I visited Whitehorse, Yukon one February for their Winter Carnival. Even -40 Celsius was not an issue. Note: re: "fit", I am well over the maximum weight offered in the review. Still super comfy, roomy and amenable to the addition of sweaters (usually not necessary) etc.

  Perfect Fitting Parka

  02/10/18

  I had a Canada Goose Snow Mantra size large and it fit good except for the shoulders and arm length. When I raised my arms up, the sleeves would come half way up my forearm. And tight around the shoulders. No room to layer if desired. I sold it and bought an XL. The shoulders and sleeve length were spot on. It was a generous relaxed fit with lots of room to layer. A perfect size for the upper body, but it was so long it came past my knees. Obviously, made for taller men. I'm a stocky 5'8" at 220 lbs. I decided to try out the Vostok and wow, I'm sure glad I did. What a perfect fitting Parka. It doesn't have the long tunnel hood like the Snow Mantra, but still has the wire form fitting fur brim to close up around the face if needed. I bought an XL and I couldn't be happier. For my height, It comes mid thigh and the arms and shoulders are sized perfectly. Some extra room to layer too. So far I've tested it to -34°C with a -43°C wind chill with just a base layer and a micro fleece long sleeve shirt. No problem. Stayed nice and warm. It's not as warm as the Snow Mantra, but it's close. So if you're not planning a trip to the Arctic anytime soon, this will be more than enough for our typical cold snaps. Don't hesitate, it's worth every penny, especially on sale. Cheers
