The Ultimate Spring Coat Checklist (and 5 Mistakes to Avoid!)

Spring in Canada is a season of surprises—one minute it’s chilly, the next it’s sunny, and then out of nowhere, it’s pouring rain. Sound familiar? We’ve all been there: stepping out confidently in a spring coat, thinking winter is behind us, only to shiver at the first cold gust.

As the Scandinavians say:

“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.”

In Norway, Sweden, and Finland, unpredictable weather doesn’t stop anyone. The key? Well-designed outerwear that adapts to changing temperatures and sudden downpours.

Whether you need a polished coat for your commute, a high-performance vest for outdoor adventures, or a versatile piece to fit your lifestyle, this guide will help you make the right choice. The goal? Balancing style, comfort, and practicality—while staying dry, of course.
