This jacket should be the same price as the standard edition Gobi, some people may prefer this style faux fur over real fur.
Stay tuned for more updates!

DIfference between Parajumpers and Canada goose
The major differences between the two popular brands are the price, looks, and overall utility.
Parajumpers:
The most popular jackets you will see from this brand include: Gobi, Kodiak, Gobi-W (female) and the newest Denali (Female).
What people love about this brand is the distinct look, especially the hook/yellow strap and the fur.
The parajumpers jackets offer a wide variety of large pockets that are useful in many situations, for instance: carrying a wallet in the cargo pocket, or a coin pouch inside the jacket. Many of these pockets can be used for different occasions. The distinct style of the jacket allows for more diverse looks, many prefer to wear the fur hood on the shoulders (unzip it into two halves at the back), which really shows a large distinction and offers more individuality. Of course, the hefty price tag (paying 935 + tax, 1000+) is the major down side; chances are, you will be the only person wearing it at your school not like the 20 goose flock members :P.
Canada Goose:
This authentic Canadian brand offers the popular jackers: Chiliwack bomber
The Chiliwack bomber is named after a city in British Columbia, Chiliwack. The jacket is very warm and kind of stylish :P
The jacket will probably never be worn in an arctic environment because of the bomber style short length, the legs and hips are not protect at all unless you want to wear puffy snow pants.
The price of 545 + tax is not very expensive, and as many salespeople tell you, the jacket is indeed an investment.
The jacket will keep you warm, possibly warmer than the PJS (parajumpers) will, and the logo definitely sticks out in public if you are one of those people into getting recognized.
The only major downside to this brand is the pure popularity, wearing it downtown or at school won't make you stand out, but rather make you look the same as the other 20 people wearing it. the term is goose flock.
Goose flock:
Decision: Which jacket is right for you?
You must ask yourself some questions:
1) Do I have any friends that wear Canada Goose?
(you may want to buy the jacket purely out of peer pressure, as the same question about parajumpers)
2) Do I really need to upgrade my winter wardrobe?
3) Do I have the budget to buy any of these jackets?
4) Am I a hipster Asian?
(Most of the cool Asian kids you know will probably wear Canada goose, some extreme cases : Parajumpers)
5) Do I want to look like others or do I want to be different?
(Different -> parajumpers, conforming to the norm -> Canada goose)
I hope this sums it up for all of you eager shoppers, the trend will probably stick around for years, so its best to make your decision in the summer/fall when the stocks are still high.

Parajumpers Gobi Jacket Review
Ahh, the winter season has finally arrived, with everyone hurrying to the stores to pick out their jackets, one must ask 'what jacket should I buy?'.
There are many brands of jackets out there, each with their distinct looks, warmth, brand label and price.
The brand that I will be focusing on Today is Parajumpers.
This quality brand was designed by the Ape & Partners. it drew it's inspiration from the 210th rescue squadron based in Alaska. these jackets have a very unique style, a very noticeable Yellow elastic strap is found at one side of the collars of the jacket which holds the high quality hook which mimics a parachute hook and strap. This not only looks amazing, but can be fastened with the other side of the collar to secure the neck area in colder weather where wind might be an issue.
The Jacket itself is a very stylish fur hood bomber jacket (The Parajumpers Gobi), the fur is authentic and huge, it is removable and so is the down vest inside the jacket (essentially making it a fall/spring/winter jacket). the fabric for the shell is durable, wind and water proof, it comes in a variety of colors: Navy, Black, Grey, White, Sand, and Red. The jacket's many pockets are useful as it is fashionable. The largest of the pockets is a cargo pocket that is approximately 2/3 of the right side. (pictures will be included)
(Large cargo pocket is wide open, many compartments inside.)
(fur, authentic Murmansk fur, Very soft and cozy)
(Logo Patch, Removable)
The down vest contains 90/10 down, very strong and very warm. Visit nearby retailers to try it on and decide if this is the jacket for you!
The price of one of these jackets is about 935 + Tax in Canada
They can be purchased at stores like Harry Rosen, Holt Renfrew, Due West, Style Exchange, SSense, stylebop, sporting life and any other online retailer.
Overall: Very good quality Jacket, stylish and reliable; you will not freeze with this 'masterpiece'.
I recommend anyone who wants to look different from the Canada goose flocks going around Canada.
This is definitly a level or two up from Canada goose.
Alternative brands: Moncler, Moose Knuckles, North Face, Nobis, D-squared.
