Sports Illustrated called us because they were going down to Antarctica to shoot the first ever photo shoot there. 'That was our big pop culture moment,' says Reiss. The snowball effect worked and the crowning moment came in 2013 when Kate Upton was pictured wearing nothing but a Canada Goose jacket and bikini bottoms on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Once that knowledge perforated a bit we were then able to get our jackets from behind the scenes in Hollywood movies to appearing on the big screen.' We figured they would begin to understand that when you go on these expeditions this is what you wear.

We wanted to make sure the people who watched those kind of programmes saw our clothes. So we worked with explorers who appeared on the National Geographic channel. 'Authenticity is everything to us and we had to find a way to come from that place but have the people in the big cities recognise that we existed. Promotional fliers were about as far as Canada Goose could stretch but Reiss knew the right people could help spread the message.
