Just in time for people to prepare to get bundled up for a long Canadian winter, Frank and Oak launched a range of animal-free outerwear with sustainable designs that are soft, packable and lightweight. The winter outerwear designs are made with an alternative to down, as the synthetic Primaloft fibres provide all the comfort and warmth of the natural insulation, plus the 100% polyester fibres are cruelty-free.
The performance styles are especially fit for the harsh winter, as the insulating material doesn't clump when wet or lose its warming properties. Some of the styles available include the Expedition and Hygge puffers, the Alpine parka and the Capital, which boasts the best temperature rating of all, providing maximum protection with a warmth rating of -30 degrees Celsius and below.

3. Sustainable Winterwear - As concern for the environment grows, there is an opportunity for companies to create sustainable winterwear that keeps people warm without harming animals and the planet.
