Cant talk about the SJ's but I did fancy a waterproof Sasquatch. So I got a Torrent Extreme.

Ordered a sasquatch for £97 new from ukmcpro yesterday as they are the only ones that had a medium so will see how the fit is when it turns up, tried on an sj9 Fortis today in a tackle shop which I didn't know stocked them and the fit in large was great, need to see how the sasquatch compares.
Has anyone else tried the Snugpak Torrent? Thoughts?

Is that with many layers on? Do you really need much layering underneath with a well insulated jacket like that?

I have to say, I used my snugpak sj9 jacket in the minus 5 we saw last weekend and it was amazing, it was like a warm blanket around me, very comfortable. My best purchase of 2020. I bought an xxl and I'm 6ft 4 and a fairly big guy and it fits lovely with room underneath, shower proof ripstop type material , although I expect if it actually peeed it down it might get wet but I would use my goretex jacket in that scenario. Would highly recommend for cold weather, and I didnt feel sweaty either, just warm.

I purchased a sasquatch in medium and usually a large and it drowned me so sent it back and got an Sj9 in large and it's great, a little big in some areas but I think a medium would be too tight in some areas. I walked along the river with a spinner on Sunday and it was 0° and was sweating!

My Snugpak Torrent arrived went out for a family walk with it. Big thumbs up from me. Got an XL as I'd be wearing it with a fleece in the extreme cold but it still fits nicely with plenty of room for a layer underneath.

Sadly I think you have just lost probably the warmest thing you have ever worn. The Sasquatch is very warm but if it is a bit on the large size they get even warmer (more air space in there). I have a Sasquatch - it was the first Snugpak jacket I bought. Because I am big sod I ordered the biggest size knowing that they are oversized anyway (to fit over another jacket), Well it was a bit on the large size but I kept it anyway. That turned out to be a good move because the larger size means it is more like a doss bag than a jacket and it is easily the warmest thing I have ever worn. I only ever wear it whilst fishing - I certainly would never go walking in it.
I also have a Torrent and a Torrent Extreme. The Extreme is rated as warmer than the Sasquatch and although it is a very warm jacket, my big Sasquatch is the go to when it is dry.

That will be too big. I'm 44 chest I think and the medium drowns me, and I'm usually an XL in most things
