Does look like a tidy jacket that 👍

I like to use something like the SJ9 or similar under a waterproof jacket just so I can sit about under a biv without it having beads of water dripping from it. The other thing is that it's what I've done for years and years that way, sort of habitual, always willing to try something different out like.

My Mrs bought a Torrent (just for general winter use, she doesn't fish). She got the hump because I wouldn't let her get it in carpy green. She saw a lovely shade of olive, all I could see was a stinking carp angler. We settled on black

Excellent jacket. All of the Snugpak tops are good imo.

The water literally beads off it and a quick shake and it's dry,I don't wear it much in the bivvy as its too warm.I normally just chuck a fleece on and wear the torrent outside

The torrent extreme is even warmer but I think that's only available in green

I do like the look of it. Has it got a DWR coating on do you know?

I'm not sure if I'm honest,it is very breathable for a fully waterproof coat and has zips under the arms incase you do get too hot whilst walking

The torrent extreme is -17 which I thought was impressive.What I love about the snugpak coats are for warmth how light they are

That sounds great, but unfortunately the lakes I fish aren't rated down to -20 🤣🤫

Tony.
What's the sizing like on these? Are they as hit and miss as the rest of the snugpak/fortis coats?
Can I ask where you bought yours from as I would like to try one on for size👍

The sizing on snugpak is a joke, my sasquatch is a m and huge on me, I'm either l or XL usually. As great as it is, I wouldn't dream of mail ordering anything snugpak

They have a exchange policy in place,im xxl in coats and the snugpak is spot on for me.
