1 Yukon Anoraks

3 S K O O K U M [skoo-kuh m] is a First Nation word meaning Powerful, Strong & Impressive and Skookum Brand is an innovative meld of modern and traditional materials and designs. It s natural for Canadians to define Power through the acceptance of responsibility, and Strength through the understanding and integration of our diverse cultures.

4 YUKON ANORAK Skookum Brand anoraks have been designed for people who live in Canada and in the higher latitudes worldwide, who want to look good and truly enjoy winter temperatures -- not just survive them. The Skookum Brand anorak is an innovative and award winning luxury outerwear jacket that is a meld of modern and traditional materials and design -- inspired by centuries-old Inuit design.

5 Every northerner knows that the secret to staying warm is staying dry -- the secret behind the Skookum Brand anorak is that it doesn t just rely on high-tech breathable fabrics, it works by actively venting moisture by design. Unlike other bulky industrial parkas that are really only good at extreme cold temperatures, Skookum Brand anoraks are versatile in many temperature ranges, they are lightweight, stylish, and above all they are distinctly Canadian.

7 ACTIVE VENTING Ultimately, the challenge for cold weather clothing is to overcome condensation which forms on inside layers as a result of perspiration in cold outside temperatures. The amount of moisture an active person expires during heavy activity can be measured in litres per hour. If that moisture-laden air doesn t vent before condensing, cold weather clothing quickly loses its insulation value. Most modern-day garments claim to overcome this with high-tech "breathable" fabrics; and as every northerner knows, these claims are only partially true. Skookum Brand anoraks don t just rely on high-tech breathable fabrics, they are designed to actively vent moisture by design. During warm or active periods, Skookum Brand anoraks can be adjusted to pump out moisture-laden air before it condenses, with normal body movements almost like a bellows. During cold or inactive periods the anorak can be adjusted to trap and conserve essential body heat.

8 IVVAVIK NATIONAL PARK Northern Yukon's climate can be harsh, with average temperatures so cold that the majority of the ground in Ivvavik National Park is permanently frozen. Richard Hartmier

22 H A B I T A T The responsible use of fur, by definition, means using the highest humane harvesting standards, managing fur bearing animals with principles of conservation biology, and generally demonstrating the utmost care & respect for wild animals and their habitats. All of which is why we exclusively use Genuine MacKenzie Valley Furs and furs from the Yukon Soft Gold programs. We live in the north where many aboriginal people harvest fur in a sustainable manner for subsistence purposes. We believe that fur harvesters are Stewards of the land that share values with other conservationists, and this is aided by their vested interest in wildlife habitat. Harvesting fur sustainably requires the preservation of wilderness habitat and to put our money where are mouth is, we are directing a significant portion of our profits towards the conservation of wildlife habitat.
