Believe it or not (it’s often not easy), winter will eventually come to an end.
It’s important to store your Canada Goose parka jacket during the warmer months, as keeping your coat compressed for an extended period of time will reduce its ability to protect you from the cold.

Follow these five easy steps to help preserve your expensive jacket for years:
Step 1: Ensure a Pristine Parka – Essential Cleaning Tips
Make sure you store your down-filled parka jacket in the cleanest condition possible.
The natural materials in Canada Goose products are sensitive to chemicals, which means exposure to dirt, sweat, and oils will degrade the fabrics over time.
Please refer to the product care label on your garment for specific wash care instructions. If you need to use a dry cleaner, make sure to find someone experienced in dealing with down and fur products.

Step 2: Detach Fur and Optimize Storage – Vertical Hanging Guide
To allow the hide and hairs free movement, try to remove the fur and hang it vertically. You should also fasten all snaps, buttons, or zippers.

Step 3: The Right Way to Hang – Choosing the Perfect Hanger
Let your parka hang freely on an extra-large hanger and store it in a dark, moisture-free environment. You can also try using two hangers to give it a little more support.
Plenty of high-quality natural wood hangers can be found on Amazon.

Step 4: Shielding Your Jacket – Selecting a Breathable Garment Bag
To protect your Canada Goose jacket from dust, dirt, and sunlight, make sure to use a breathable garment bag.
If you don’t have one at home, you can find breathable clothing covers in every color of the rainbow on Amazon.

Step 5: Ideal Storage Conditions – Ensuring a Moisture-Free Environment
Don’t compress your Canada Goose jacket into a cramped space, and make sure to store it in a moisture-free environment. While sunlight can fade your jacket during storage, moisture is paradise to a bug.
