Just stumbled across the ebony jacket, is this the same level as the jackets mentioned?

Just bought some softie trousers and was deliberating over jackets.. ended up getting a snugpak sleeka elite, bought the sasquatch then changed my mind as its not waterproof I will need to wear my goretex jacket over the top, made more sense to use the sleeka as midlayer for if its raining, and an outer when dry with an addition hoodie underneath.

I also wear the softie trousers (with softie jacket) when its cold.
The waist isnt great on them so im going to investigate into some braces for them.

I did notice that, no loops for a belt of side toggles.. I was going to take them in if necessary

I've got a set of the softie trousers and had the same problem at the weekend, no belt loops or drawstring to tighten the waiste and I also thought about a set of braces,if you take them with you and put them on when there its not too bad but they're not great for waking round in

Ebony same as Sasquatch but with removable hood.

In reply to #18 &21..Answer maybe Swedish Army M90 cold weather trousers...quilted..full length zips..higher back and belt loops/brace attatchments. A fantastic alternative to the softie bottoms..I have both types but prefer the softies myself

I take a medium in all jackets and tops and J would say my medium Sj9 was true to size. Luckily the first one I ordered fitted fine so haven't had the issues with regards to sizing.

I tried 4 or 5 jackets on at the northern angling show,same size and model,every jacket fitted differently,even the bloke serving me thought I was taking the piss,some too tight,some too small...the bloke couldnt believe it and actually checked they were all the same size. I walked away as I couldnt get a decent t fitting one

I must be lucky, I am a large in everything ,got a large softie jacket and a large sasquatch. Both fit as they should and do their job .
