In reply to Post #28
Totally agree with point 28 - much better option in my view

If the SJ9 is much warmer than the SJ6, then that would mean you'd have to take something off before putting it on, and put something on when taking it off. That seems an unwarranted faff. Easier with the (less warm) SJ6.
I'll be out tomorrow at 7 am and will wear a thermal base with a fleece top until I've set up, then put the kettle on, and the SJ6, for the rest of the day until I pack up and take the coat off.
If the coat were any warmer, I'd set up, take my fleece top off, put on my super-hot coat until such times that I'd take off the coat, feel bloody freezing, spend ages looking for the fleece I took off in the morning etc...

Well, been using mine, the 9 version, super warm, very nice jacket other than one thing for me, the hood, cut a bit short, just wish it was a bit longer and had a peak, saying that I'm used to wearing Rab jackets so expect that as the norm

I have the sj6 and find it perfect. It's a fantastic coat that I would buy again if needed
