"Is Great Auk Outfitters the Ethical Alternative to Canada Goose?"
"Whereas other parkas... use down taken from birds, Great Auk parkas use a double layer of insulation including the NASA-developed aerogel."
"The Down-Less Parka encourages you to explore the arctic while respecting it at the same time."
Remember The Great Auk.
In 1844, the last Great Auk was hunted out of existence. These flightless birds once flourished on the craggy, rocky coasts of New England. The Great Auk, while nimble in the sea, was clumsy on land, making them easy prey for fishermen and hunters. They were hunted for food, fishing bait, and their soft down feathers. We proudly wear the Great Auk logo as a reminder of our birthplace, and our vision to create the world’s best cruelty-free, environmentally responsible, ethical apparel.
100% Carbon Neutral. (No, Really.)
We care about the planet. It is integral to our mission to make sure every step of our manufacturing is done with our planet in mind. We use sustainable, recycled materials as a way to curb our footprint while also investing in clean energy initiatives around the world to offset any carbon emissions we contribute. Each Great Auk Parka shipped to your door is 100% Carbon Neutral.
Built to Pass on Down.
No animal products are used on the Great Auk Down-less Parka.
We’re committed to honoring the legacy of the Great Auk by creating the highest quality products built to endure the harsh habitat of the North Atlantic.
No Goose, All Warmth.
The Down-less Parka contains Aerogel, an amazing insulation material developed by NASA. The Down-less Parka on its own will keep you warm down to -10°F (-23°C).
How Do We Compare?
Inspired by Nature.
Traditional down jackets are simple - they pack feathers into baffles. The feathers move over time, and gaps in baffles create cold spots. We've taken the idea of down and feathers, and left the bird alone, creating our dual layer insulation system. The insulation layer closest to the body provides local heat encapsulation, acting as down replacement, while a second layer of higher loft insulation acts as feathers by spacing the protective shell away from the body. The result is a jacket with all-encompassing warmth that won't break down over time.
"We're challenging convention and crafting the most premium products in the world, with no hidden ecological costs."
