The Chilliwack Bomber was developed as a nod to the styling and needs of post war bush pilots in Canada’s north. At a time and in places where pilots performed their own aircraft maintenance on desolate, wind-blown Arctic runways, durability, warmth and mobility were vital if not at times, life saving. The iconic coyote fur ruff that surrounds the hood of the Chilliwack bomber ensured they wouldn’t be frostbitten while working on their crafts and the premium Canadian down insulation took care of maintaining core temperatures. The success of this iconic Canada Goose jacket is evidenced by the fact that Canada Goose jackets are still worn by northern pilots today and can be seen on TV shows like Ice Pilots.
