Customer Reviews
Jak*******son
This parka is fire 🔥. Wore it during a blizzard in Chicago and stayed warm AF. Love the hood design—it doesn’t mess up my hair and still blocks wind like a boss. Stylish, tough, and actually functional. 10/10 would flex on winter.
Jo*****Lee
Great winter coat—warm, durable, and stylish. Wearing it daily in Minnesota this season and zero complaints. Blocks wind like a champ and the hood fits well over a beanie. Perfect for shoveling or just walking the dog.

This parka is worth every penny. I wore it during a week-long ski trip in Banff and never felt cold, even on lift rides. The insulation works incredibly well, and the fabric feels durable. It’s become my go-to winter outerwear for both city life and mountain adventures.
Ava******son
I’ve had this jacket through two winters now and it still looks brand new. Survived daily commutes, dog walks in blizzards, and even a few accidental spills. Water-resistant finish works great, and I appreciate the eco-friendly insulation. Worth every penny if you live somewhere cold.
Li*****hen
Very warm and well-made, but took a few days to arrive even with express shipping. Otherwise, happy with the quality and how lightweight it is for such a heavy-duty jacket.
Emi*******pson
I bought the MEC Frostbreaker Parka for my winter hikes in the Canadian Rockies, and it's been incredible. The insulation keeps me warm even in -20°C winds, and the fit is both flattering and allows room for layering. I love the adjustable hood — it stays put even during blustery conditions. Pockets are roomy and well-placed. It’s heavy-duty without feeling bulky. Worth every penny for serious cold-weather use.

I bought the MEC Frostbreaker Parka for my winter hikes in the Canadian Rockies, and it's been incredible. The insulation keeps me warm even in sub-zero temperatures, and the fit is flattering without being tight. It’s windproof and handled heavy snowfall perfectly. Plus, the pockets are roomy enough for gloves and hand warmers. Highly recommend for anyone who spends time outdoors in cold climates.
Emi******ter
Just rocked this jacket through a snowy weekend in Banff and honestly? Obsessed. Kept me toastier than my grandma’s oven, even when it was -20°C. The fit is sleek but roomy enough for layers—huge win for winter layering without looking like the Michelin woman.
Ju*****Lee
Great coat! Keeps me warm during early morning commutes in Toronto. Love the hood design—it stays put even in strong winds.
Mar******son
Solid jacket overall. Warm and looks good, but the inner lining caught on my sweater once. Maybe a bit too tight around the arms? Still decent for daily use.

I’ve had the Zamberlan 309’s for a month now and have put about 75 km on them. They fit great right out of the box but have been getting even more comfortable every time I hike. I like the lacing system and the ability to adjust the tightness in different parts of the boot. Although they’re fairly new they are definitely waterproof and have good grip. Hopefully they hold up over time.

One of the best all around boots you can buy. Good for 2 hour hikes or 4 day backpacking trips. Not too stiff, but lots of support. Ama*******ots

I bought these last month at the tail end of winter. I am 5 ft 7 woman approx 160 lbs. They are a great size and weight for me. I wanted a pair that would be easy to strap on as I have arthritis in my knee. The harness is easily adjustable. The back strap is a little fiddly to connect the hole into the spike and to insert the extra strap into the holder. However that is minor and after a few tries I got the hang of it. Only reason for the 4 instead of stars. Great product and I look forward to many years of use. kh*****tfg

My wife and I traveled for two months last winter. These were the only shoes/sandals I brought, and they served me well through some of the harshest conditions including the desert outback in Australia, the rain in New Zealand, and several encounters with saltwater... They are the perfect everything sandal/shoe for hot, warm, and moderate climates. When we were traveling, we did lots of walking, hiking, beaching, etc. These sandals were up to the challenge of a good hike, or just recreational walking around town. While they are comfortable and breathe well, They don't easily dry while being worn, and because of the toe cap/footbed design, have a tendency to sometimes trap pebbles or sand, requiring that your remove them to shake it out. Also, after time, they really started to stink and required a through cleaning/bleaching which is strange for me because none of my other shoes ever stink. Overall, an excellent comfortable everything sandal/shoe with a few very minor flaws. df*****hk

I bought this during the MEC sale. I wear a size 6 women boots and the size small fits my boots. I can't compare to size XS which is what is recommended for my boot size as they didn't have it in the store but my size small works and fits me well so no complaints here. Haven't used it for that long so I can't talk about the longevity but I did use them for winter hiking and they are 100% waterproof and the velcro still works! b***gh

l love these gaiters. They kept my feet dry in 3 days of continuous rain. I find them easy to adjust and don't budge or slide down as I am a small human. I recommend them to all my friends who want quality gaiters for a modest dollar amount. Would love to see more colours in the future! kh****lh

I am in my 3rd year of wearing Keen boots and will not buy another brand period. They have always had a great fit and no break period. I wear them everyday at work and for pleasure. f***dg

Had these a short time but so far they seem pretty nice. Good quality and comfortable. My previous Targhee III’s were splitting at several seems, but these are reputed to be less prone to this. vb*****fn

I bought my first pair back in 2006 and last year replaced them with new version. Materials are high quality and very durable. We wear them 3 seasons fall/winter/spring when they are needed. Definitely happy with them. Follow sizing chart which works well for me. h***h

I recently bought a pair of these from MEC and have not yet tested them in the field, but I love their hand-made Italian construction and strength, their good Vibram soles, and their general feel and good quality. They fit well, feel supportive enough for most hiking, and are a very good price. Unusually, the tongues in these boots have no seams, but are directly part of the outer boot leather, which is a bonus to not have leaking tongue seams as in most boots, and it's a sign of high-quality design and manufacturing. Zamberlan have been making boots since 1929, almost 100 years. I love these boots. Thor*********boots

Loved the Targhee III's, they did start to crack after countless miles and several years of abuse, the IV's have addressed this while keeping the same comfort. I was able to take them out of the box and hike a rough 10 mile hoke with np break in. yt*****urt

Bought these for a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier National payl for light, waterproof hiking needs. Very comfortable through miles of walking and hiking. hn*****gjh
