I got my wife a moose knuckle (MK) coat back in 2018 for Christmas. She's a teacher so spends recesses outdoors and gets cold easily. Her previous Northface coat wasn't cutting it. I looked into getting CG but found the MK when I was shopping. Compared them side by side and found that for comparable lines, the MK were slightly more affordable and built better (I thought they looked nicer too but that's subjective). She loves her MK coat, so much so that the following Christmas she got me one, lol. Don't need it all the time but sure comes in handy for the -20 and colder days while waiting for the GO train (pre-covid). They also came in handy when we went to Carnival in Quebec city were we spent all day and night outdoors in sub -20 weather (this was Feb 2020, just before COVID lockdowns).
They're not cheap, but not overly expensive either. If it's not for you, it's not for you.
