The whole SJ range is available direct from Snugpak (i.e. none Fortis versions) in olive.

SJ6 is simply brilliant. haven't tried the 9.

Anyone know if these wash OK? Washing machine or dry clean? Mine's beginning to hum a bit

Is there any difference between the Fortis sj3 and the standard sj3.. the sj6 by Fortis seems to suggest it has longer arms than standard, is the same true for the sj3?

Fantastic coats. Light, windproof and extremely warm, yet still hard-wearing. I've got the Fortis version and the length in the body and arms is great. Proper top-notch clothing for the winter months.
The Mrs borrowed it once last winter to take the dogs out at 6am, and every day after. I'll get her one for Christmas as I'm sick of finding my pockets full of dog biscuits.

I wear a thin goretex army shell over the top in the rain, which works well.

Edit> just seen the price .. I can put up with dog biscuits in my pockets.

For the woman you love, you tight git

I have used a Tracker synthetic puffer that I must have had coming close to 20 years, bought it for £25 from Eric's angling, been superb but the elastics have perished so I have just treated myself to the SJ9. Hope it not too warm, reading the feedback I am now thinking the 6 would be better with some layers

I have an SJ9 and it is an unreal bit of kit. Loads of others in my club have it. None of them went for the SJ3 or 6. Be interested to hear peoples opinions on them

Ive had a SJ3 and SJ6 - the 3 is ideal spring, summer even autumn and the SJ6 ideal for winter the sj9 as I understand is similar to the 6 but longer cut at the back

Ive since moved both on and now have the buffalo kit

There is a new waterproof jacket coming out and looks very smart indeed

I've the sj6, and wish I had gone for the sj9, both great jackets, same style but obviously the sj9 is heavier and warmer, a much better choice for a winter jacket.

Don't see point in these new tundra personally, would much prefer an SJ6 and waterproof over the top so you can take the wet layer off but still retain the insulation when you get back in your bivvy etc

I have the sj9 and love it . Keeps the wind out , lovely cut and comfy . Best of all it's breathable and I don't sweat 👌
