Why ColumbiaSportswear.ca Still Beats Amazon for Canadian Winters
- True North fit blocks: sleeves + torso cut longer for 5'9"+ average Canuck height—no Amazon “medium” that fits like a crop-top
- Omni-Heat™ 3D lining adds 20 % more heat reflection than last gen; we measured +4.8 °C skin temp vs. no lining in –10 °C wind tunnel
- Free shipping $0 min, 60-day any-reason returns (even after skiing), and duty-free because everything ships from Montréal DC
- Price-match against Amazon.ca, MEC, SportChek including coupon stacks—keep reading for the exact script
