Sounds like you are just shorter and fatter than you think

Story of my life 😂 I thought Sasquatch's came up massive though so why is a size large sasquatch fitting you when you're a size large in normal wear?

Got the 6 and Sasquatch.
Had them a while now but went for XXL.( 6ft tall and 15 stone)
Good fit but would not be putting a hoodie underneath. Just a long sleeve base layer.

I would never buy another snugpak, unless I could try on beforehand.
Johnson ross used to have a decent selection, probably still do.

Yep, the sizing of their jackets is terrible. I went into JR's and tried on several jackets and no two were the same! Ended up, giving up. The sleeves are stupidly long on their jackets and they come up quite lengthy around the waist, very odd fit. Good luck if you can get one that fits you. Mate of mine found the same thing at a trade show - on their stand! I'd never buy one without trying it on. Even when I see people wearing them , generally they look a bit odd, as it is obvious the jacket isn't a good fit on them. I guess some people don't care too much...
Just get a Craghoppers thermal jacket - a third of the price, quality is goiod and their sizing is pretty normal I find. They do most jackets in some shade of green. Snugpak jackets aren't all that IMO and well over priced come to think of it.

Just taken delivery of snugpak sj9 jacket (not fortis), have to say it fits perfectly!
The arms are a good length which is a breath of fresh air and its long enough which was my main concern. Definitely not getting cold in this!!!
Appears to be fairly water resistant as well.. Happy days

Just bought a sasquatch from someone, they said a medium would fit me and tbh I wasn't so sure as I'm usually xl or sometimes l, the medium is still big on me so their sizing is way off. Not used it yet so can't comment on how warm it is

I'm sure this has been discussed before about the Sasquatch but this is from the Snugpak website:
Please note: these jackets are oversized as they were initially designed to fit over our Sleeka Jacket for extreme cold weather protection.

I have asked the question also - how cold does it have to be to want to wear both?
The XXL Sasquatch is huge. I am a big sod and it is big on me but all that air space means it is warmer.
Fabulous piece of kit.

So are the Fortis SJs more shower proof than fully waterproof?
Do most owners have a waterproof jacket to put over the top when the rain is really bad?
I've been thinking about getting one for a while, as much for being out walking in winter as much as actually fishing

Yes more shower proof, wouldnt want to get it soaked.
It was absolutely lovely wearing last night didnt feel hot sat out in about 8 degrees with a a fleece and thermal top underneath but felt like I would still be warm in minus temps. Really really comfy. Not the Fortis version though.
