A men's heritage-derived uninsulated jacket pulling design elements from the 2001 McMurdo Jacket — a piece originally designed for the U.S. Antarctic Program National Science Foundation — with the distinct four-pocket design refined for warmer temperatures and everyday wear.
The Vault Jacket pairs a breathable Woven Nylon shell (100% Polyamide) with refined tactical-inspired construction. A fixed hood with internal wire around the brim holds shape; a hood gaiter functions as a built-in extra-warmth layer; double-placket VELCRO® closures over a two-way zipper seal the front against weather.
Standout features:
- Fixed hood with adjustable drawcord and internal wire — shape and customizable coverage
- Hood gaiter — built-in layer for extra warmth
- Double placket with VELCRO® closure over two-way zipper — sealed front, venting flexibility
- Raglan shoulder with articulated sleeves — range of motion
- VELCRO® adjustments at sleeve cuffs — dial in wrist fit
- Drawcord at waist — customize the silhouette
- Zippered side seams — range of motion, venting
- Four multi-entry patch pockets with webbing tabs — tactical-inspired exterior carry
- Interior pockets — one zippered security; two mesh drop-ins
Right pick for customers who want Canada Goose construction with serious brand-heritage credibility. The McMurdo-derived design language signals real cold-weather kit rather than fashion-piece styling; the Vault construction delivers performance across multiple cold-weather contexts. Useful for cold-climate residents, frequent winter travelers, and the multi-month rotation where heritage credibility matters as much as performance.
