I have a couple of Pentagon jackets for winter, not too expensive and really good and I mean really good! Very warm, great fit, functional and completely waterproof. Way better than most fishing branded jackets and those ill fitting snugpak things that everyone seems to think are so great. Military 1st sell the entire Pentagon range. Take a look at their website.

Some shocking bad advice on here sometimes that gets peddled year after year when in reality it is very simple

Layering works if active.
Insulation works when static.
What is warm for someone may not be for someone else
And as already said never wear the heavy insulation when active (ie getting to swim etc)

The sizing on snugpak is a joke, my sasquatch is a m and huge on me, I'm either l or XL usually. As great as it is, I wouldn't dream of mail ordering anything snugpak

Tony.
What's the sizing like on these? Are they as hit and miss as the rest of the snugpak/fortis coats?
Can I ask where you bought yours from as I would like to try one on for size👍

That sounds great, but unfortunately the lakes I fish aren't rated down to -20 🤣🤫

The torrent extreme is -17 which I thought was impressive.What I love about the snugpak coats are for warmth how light they are

I'm not sure if I'm honest,it is very breathable for a fully waterproof coat and has zips under the arms incase you do get too hot whilst walking

I do like the look of it. Has it got a DWR coating on do you know?
