I have the SJ9 in olive and it's a bloody awesome jacket! I'm sure the 6 is superb as well......

Just a word of caution. I love mine but in case you weren't aware they're NOT waterproof , and don't claim to be. I was however suprised at just how quickly water soaks into them , and once wet they take an age to dry as i found to my cost last winter.

I keep looking at these for a while and now im going on a bit I feel the cold more. Been told that the sizes are all over the place ? Im 5,10 and just under 13 stone would a large be right. The only thing puts me off is not waterproof as I do bit of piking as well. They got marine jacket to go over the top

Mine came up a bit snug so if you can get to somewhere that has them in stock to try on i would.

Really warm and wind proof, but are not waterproof. Vass do a jacket called team Winter W175 which is water proof, but not as warm. But made well and when worn with a few layers underneath is great.

I have the fortis version that is slightly longer in the body so covers your ass a bit more but if the sizing is the same on both versions I would personally go a size down to what you would normally take.

Ive had an SJ3 and SJ9 since they came out they are brilliant bits of kit, I ted to wear the SJ3 the vast majority of time with layers and the SJ9 with just a t shirt as you really don't need anything else - VERY WARM and does what it says on the Tim

I would add the sizing is a bit odd though as an example my sj3 is a xl and is roomy and the SJ9 is a xxl and fits the same as the xl sj3 so try before you buy

If you don't want DPM go straight to the source and get a Snugpak Sasquatch or Sleeka, got both and use the sasquatch from December to March and sleeka for rest of time.

i wear a goretex over the top in wet weather but have never had a problem drying out anyway.

Had the sasquatch 2 years, sleeka for 4 and bib and brace for 15 years great quality, never wear more than a t-shirt/ polo shirt and sometimes a hoody underneath jackets and lightweights under bib and brace and that's it.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
