The layering system is well known and is adhered to by both mountaineers, military, you name it. Stops people getting exposure, overheating and the likes. You want to wear stuff that isn't so tight that the air can't circulate.
And just for clarity: when I said many, I meant more than one or given the conditions to what is necessary.
As for a thermal jacket: you still wear layers under an SJ9 as a for instance.

Yes its agreed layers are good for active outdoor pursuits.
And just for clarity: when I said many, I meant more than one
That's good because that's literally the definition of a plural. My 2 year old son has a book that mentioned that many means more than one too funnily enough. He's too old for that one now though.
If we're talking about having a top on under the SJ9 being layers then you win. I dont see anyone including myself wearing a jacket on bare skin. A microfleece works wonders under it, two when it gets proper cold. I find a hoody or thick fleece ruins it, I see a lot of guys falling down here.

Is there actually such a thing as a winter insulated jacket that is really 100% waterproof ? If you go into any outdoor/camping shop . You either had thick padded insulated coats or Thinner top layer water and wind proof jackets on offer.
I bought a rab Andes insulated down jacket that wasn't cheap . Which I wore on a 3 day trip to Iceland in some very cold temps . It was by far the warmest coat I've ever worn and was only wearing a long sleeved t shirt under it. It was great but would of been totally useless in the rain.
Im very dubious of these all in one type coats produced by Trakker and fox etc. Just seems if the camping industry can't produce these sort of coats why would you trust a tackle manufacturer to.
My preference is a water proof shell then varying layers underneath depending on how cold it will be.

Snugpak Torrent is full waterproof I think mate.
I prefer a separate waterproof over-jacket so I dont have to sit in a wet jacket in the brolly.

You probably can. I'm sure RAB do a Goretex goose down jacket. Have a look about the other companies of the same ilk.
In all likelihood, a good Goretex jacket over an SJ9 would do the job.

"Yes its agreed layers are good for active outdoor pursuits."
And inactive too. Prove me wrong , minus your anecdotal bollox.

Back to your normal self lol

Last night I was sitting in the bivvy and the temp dropped I had been wearing a t shirt all day but started to feel cold when inactive and sitting watching the water. I put on an esp hoodie and still felt cold put a snugpak sleeka on top and felt like I was in a sleeping bag. I was in a bivvy so did not need a windproof jacket on top but I had one with me just in case. In short it depends what your doing and where you are.

There's not a single solution for this its more of a few different bits of kit
My stuffs all schoffel, sealand, ridgeline, barbour and mountain equip all for game shooting, all proven tough durable gear, sized properly for its use
Not sure on some of this carp branded gear at all.

There's nothing even remotely cool about using "lewl"
Oh, and Yonny is right about not layering up. Prove him wrong.

I think you're bang on the money 👍
I like to use a bit of everything, be it from the likes of RAB (those sorts of companies), army kit and shooting/hunting gear. Most of the time I swerve the fishing tackle companies other than maybe a pair of joggers or hoodies. Something I did pick up that I really like is the Fortis Sherpa fleece, really impressed with it.
On the jacket front, I do think the Sugpack SJ9 takes a lot to top, it really is an excellent jacket for the money.
