Furs

Have you ever wondered why people don’t regularly freeze the exposed skin on their face during the extreme wind-chills reported in the arctic?

The opening on a parka hood is traditionally trimmed with fur to block wind and trap body heat in extreme cold weather temperatures. The fur trimmed tunnel shaped opening forms an invisible dead-air space in front of your face so wind cannot carry your precious body heat away with it. Without this essential feature facial skin would be directly exposed to the elements and the serious risk of frostbite.

Ethically harvested in a sustainable manner, the availability of these fur options are inherently limited. As a result, there are times when we cannot offer some of these fur options. All fur is sourced from the Genuine Mackenzie Valley Furs and the Klondike Soft Gold programs.

Aside from looks, different furs possess a variety of functional qualities.
