I've been trying on this jacket and found one that fits well but it's summer or supposed to be lol I had a thin fleece top on I didn't buy it because I wanted to ask first will I need a thicker warmer top on in winter in which case the jacket would be to tight
Or are they that good warm I wouldn't need to what do users do feedback please

If it is as warm as the torrent all you will need is a t-shirt for UK winters

T-shirt and snuggy for the majority of winter but when it gets really cold either, fleecy over t-shirt and goretex over snuggy or breakout the Sasquatch

A thicker warmer top underneath will prevent the top from working so well. The way they work is they harness and store the body heat so a hoody for example will prevent it from doing that. You'd feel colder. You can get away with thinner stuff i.e. a t-shirt and microfleece, which is certainly enough for my SJ9 even in the coldest conditions.

Yes, made that mistake with a sleeka, got an xl and wore fleece etc under it, and wondered why I still felt cold.
Do you wear your sj9 without another skin/outer layer? And if so is it warm enough in our average winter?

A very light weight M&s thermal top and a normal t shirt under mine in the depths of winter is fine.
