Not just for style purposes, but for functionality (and safety), too. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or somewhat of a newbie, with the right essentials, you can strut through any forest with the confidence and style of a pro.

Levi’s
While Levi’s is probably most known for its jeans and super cool denim, the brand actually has a wide range of other items and has recently expanded to include accessories as well. Levi’s has the same laidback, comfortable feel as Roots does and we love how the brand manages to maintain a hint of a vintage inspo, while still feeling perfectly up to date. The quality manufacturing creates timeless, classic items that are designed to outlast the stressors of day to day wear. Like the brand tagline says, these products are meant to be lived in – not just worn.

Why Trouble Might Be On The Horizon For La Senza
As we make our way into colder days, you’re going to want to bundle up. Toronto winters can be brutal, so it’s better to be prepared in advance and say hello to big, downy parkas. If your hunt for the perfect winter jacket has just begun, this is the perfect starting point for you. We know winter coats don’t always come cheap so if this is the year you’re looking for a new one, we have you covered.
Take a look at our list of 15 of the best places to buy winter jacket in the GTA and don’t worry — you can thank us later when you’re not freezing your butt off!
MEC Toronto
MEC Is known for making some of the best outdoor gear on the market. With friendly and knowledgeable staff, this is a great place to get your hands on a durable and practical winter jacket that will last you a few years at the least.
Sporting Life
Sporting Life is a mecca for all things snow related. The store’s winter coat selection is one of the best in the city, and it carries everything from high-end technical ski wear, to fashion-forward outwear that will make even the most seasoned fashionistas jealous. Sporting Life currently holds one of the largest Canada Goose collections and caters to the refined shopper who doesn’t mind shelling out several hundreds of dollars for a high-quality coat. What’s awesome about Sporting Life is that you can regularly find great winter jackets on sale that will help save you some coin.
L.L. Bean
A true destination for anyone obsessed with being outside, L.L. Bean is filled with everything you’ll need to stay warm while outdoors. In addition to all the cozy sweaters, boots, and flannel that the retailer is famous for, don’t forget to check out its well made winter coats, too. We couldn’t be more excited that the brand now has a location in Canada that’s situated at Oakville Place.
Aritzia
If there’s something Canadian retailer, Aritzia knows, it’s winter and the retailer has definitely upped its parka game within the last few years. Most of the parkas and coats you’ll find at Aritzia are from its house brands such as Golden by TNA, TNA, Community, and Wilfred Free, but they are without a doubt, warm as can be. Many of the jackets you’ll find are made of water-resistant material, have a removable vegan fur trim, are machine washable, and down-filled.
Lorne’s Coats
Lorne’s has been a staple in Toronto for decades and what’s great about Lorne’s is that it does one thing — sell coats — and it does it well. While the weather may dictate that you need a parka, often in Toronto it’s unnecessary if you’re a few minutes walk from the office. If you work in a typical office you need a business appropriate coat. Actually, we are going further than that everyone needs a dress coat, not just you office folks.
The North Face
Looking for a coat that’ll see you through the snowy season? You’ll want to get yourself into The North Face as soon as possible because in Toronto, you never know when winter will kickstart. If you think you need the heaviest jacket in the world to stay warm whilst outside, think again because The North Face has loads of coat options that are sleek, not bulky in the slightest, and won’t make you sacrifice warmth.
SOIA & KYO
If looking cute is just as important as staying warm, then you’ve come to the right place. SOIA & KYO has you covered with its well made and expertly designed outerwear that doesn’t skimp on the chic details. The brands sporty down-filled parkas are crazy warm, and the fit of the coat looks so high fashion! Not wanting to order online? Head to Square One to shop in person!
Vallier
A new label from Altitude Sports that’s out of Montreal is Vallier and it’s a name you’ll want to remember when shopping for all things winter weather. In addition to the ultra chic and warm parkas and down-filled jackets that the brand offers, make sure you layer up in one of its crewneck sweatshirts and sweaters for all the cozy vibes!
Value Village + Consignment Stores
If you’re looking for cheap and cheerful, Value Village and various secondhand shops around Toronto are always great to hit up. While considered “gently used” you can often find yourself a great unique jacket perfect for those who need more than one or two jackets to round out your style needs. Many great consignment stores have fabulous vintage designer coats that can help you stand out in a crowd. Going this route almost guarantees you won’t be standing next to someone in the exact same coat as you.
Winners & Marshalls
While it can be somewhat hit or miss, Winners and Marshalls are great options for the shopper looking to pick up a brand name winter coat without breaking the bank. The best part is that these stores restock merchandise frequently, so there’s a good chance you’ll score no matter when you go in to shop.
Joe Fresh
Joe Fresh is a great choice for the frugal shopper. If you’re in the market for a down-filled coat this is the place to go to grab one for under $200. These coats are crazy warm and will last multiple seasons so you really get a great bang for your buck.
Canada Goose
While definitely not cheap option, a Canada Goose jacket is well worth your buck if you’re looking to invest in a quality, made-in-Canada down jacket. Having been experts in luxury extreme weather outerwear since 1957, you can be guaranteed that the brands coats will last a lifetime and keep you warm in the chilliest winter temperatures. The brands newest collab is with luxury label Juun.J and it’s a collection that re-imagined four of its heritage pieces. Expect to see the same super warm jackets but with trendy exaggerated proportions and graphic silhouettes.
Nordstrom
If you’re looking for a place that has a TON of different styles to choose from, start your search at Nordstrom. Whether you’re looking for something functional or fashionable, the store has the best of both worlds, plus everything in between. Think quality Canadian brands, as well as other designer labels like Cole Haan and Ralph Lauren. Not to mention you can even enlist the help of a free stylist to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Patagonia
If you consider yourself an adventurer, you might want to check out Patagonia. The brand is all about functionality and durability at its best. The brands sporty yet chic jackets are perfect for those wishing to spend a lot of time doing activities outdoors this winter. Known for its lighter jackets that are compact, water resistant, and insulated, you’ll get all the warmth without feeling like the Michelin Man.
Pajar
Montreal-based Pajar makes jackets that are both stylish and warm, and when we say warm, we mean you won’t freeze, even when it’s -30C outside. There’s a reason why Pajar has been highly revered in the winter wear world, and its quality, innovative technology, and craftsmanship prove why.
Nobis
If you’re in the market for classic fitted silhouettes and functionality, then Nobis has your back. The brands jackets will keep you safe and warm in pretty much all weather conditions, including wind, rain, snow, sleet, and hail. A big plus is that Nobis jackets can be home laundered, meaning you can save big money on pricy dry cleaning.

Rock climbing is having a major moment, as the sport keeps reaching new heights. On the heels of the Oscar-winning (anxiety-inducing) documentary Free Solo and the introduction of climbing as an official Olympic sport, climbing has captured both audiences and participants like never before.
There really is a “day” for everything, and climbing is no exception.
To mark Global Climbing Day on Saturday, August 24, longtime California-based outdoor brand The North Face went all out, hosting an energetic and impossible-to-turn-away-from climbing competition at Montreal’s Parc Jean-Drapeau Aquatic Complex. We were invited along to check it out.
Participants in the The North Face Psicobloc Open Series weekend-long climbing competition draw upon their impressive strength and ninja-like skills as they scale a 55-foot wall “free solo” over a deep swimming pool.
It’s something that made for some pretty epic falls into the water below. This is the second year that The North Face has hosted the well-attended event; an initiative that aims to unite seasoned climbers and the climbing-curious set.
While climbing may have gained mass popularity in recent years, it’s been in The North Face’s DNA for decades.
For more than 50 years, the brand has outfitted countless climbers on epic summit adventures. Introduced in 2016, The North Face’s “Walls are Meant for Climbing” campaign encourages people to both try climbing and unite to overcome challenges, push boundaries, and foster a deep and diverse community.
“Climbing has always been such a core element to the brand, so any opportunity we have to support the climbing industry, bring people together we take it,” said Max Turcotte, Brand & Sports Marketing Coordinator at The North Face. “Climbing is getting more and more popular, and these experiential events and key consumer moments around climbing are the best way we can talk to consumers who are getting increasingly interested in the sport. More than 30 per cent of the American public has expressed an interest in climbing. So, we ‘re looking to bring people together.”
The North Face also has a presence at major rock climbing festivals and maintains a partnership with regional gyms across Canada.
These important partnerships involve events and the supply of The North Face product and athletes at participating climbing gyms. In addition to the competition, the brand also hosted local events at 240 climbing gyms around the world to mark Global Climbing Day.
In Montreal, The North Face Psicobloc Open Series attracted some 400 athletes who competed in the men’s, women’s, and junior events. Pre competition, The North Face invited members of the public to try their skills (and lack thereof…but I have nothing but respect for anyone who would attempt such a thing in front of hundreds of snapping smartphones) before the competition started.
Then, the competition sees two climbers face off against one another without ropes, harnesses or protective gear, as they draw on agility, strength and strategy to scale the massive inverse wall as energetic onlookers cheer them on. To be honest, it was a lot more exciting than I had anticipated.
At Saturday’s quarterfinals, we caught the action from the VIP area, an elevated poolside terrace, in the company of climbing world heroes like Gabriel Filippi, who quit his corporate gig to become a professional climber and motivational speaker.
The North Face-sponsored alpinist and climber was fresh from completing the “hard double” earlier this summer, doing both Mount Everest and Nuptse peaks in one climb – something he calls a career highlight.
As Filippi points out, we saw a major increase in interest in climbing with the introduction of the climbing gym.
“I think people were always curious from seeing the mountains, climbers, and gear but then climbing wall appeared just over a decade ago, making climbing a lot more accessible,” said Filippi.
“Schools found that climbing walls helped kids with focus and confidence – and at that point we created a new generation of climbers. That’s why we see young climbers in their 20s who are really good, because they grew up doing it.”
As for those who didn’t develop their climbing skills at a young age, Fillipi stresses that you’re never too old to start climbing. “There is no age restriction; just try the wall,” he says. “The unknown brings fear, but climbing is about community versus competition and everyone is enjoying it; it’s inclusive; it’s for everyone. You’re going to find a grade when you’re climbing where you’re feeling good. Everyone tries to help one another.”
In the wake of recent headline-making deaths on Mount Everest, however, Fillipi advises potential climbers to be realistic of what they’re capable of.
“Climbers should think twice. I know that for so many people it’s a dream come true; maybe at some point you couldn’t do it because of work commitments or lack of money, but it’s a demanding and gruelling thing to do,” says Fillipi. “People are dying waiting on the mountain; what we need to see is less traffic, which involves more coordination among organizations and expedition leaders to determine specific times for the summit.”
The first step to an epic bucket list expedition, naturally, begins in your local climbing gym – and Toronto is full of them.
If you’re in the market for gear, of course, The North Face has you covered. “The North Face offers everything from big-walled backpacks meant to carry rope, climbing gear, and harnesses, to extremely bulletproof and rainproof outerwear, for if ever you’re caught in the rain on a cliff,” says Turcotte. “We make sleeping bags that are tested for the outdoors and expeditions at extreme temperatures. We also offer equipment for indoor climbing.” View this post on Instagram
A post shared by The North Face (@thenorthface) on Mar 12, 2019 at 3:29pm PDT
But don’t expect to find many of these items for sale at any of The North Face’s events; that’s not the point. “The main reason behind the ‘Walls are Meant for Climbing’ campaign and why we do this is to bring people together around the wall and acquaint them with the brand; not to make sales,” says Turcotte. “If we are selling product, it’s important to incorporate a giveback element.”
“The objective is to give back to the community; it’s not the right time to make money. We want the focus to be on the climbing.”
