Looking for warm jacket for the winter.A couple of ones caught my eye first is snugpak sj9 yes I know its warm only downside is its not waterproof do you match it up with the fortis marine to make it waterproof ?. I be using the jacket for my pike fishing as well. Also aqua have brought out a new thermal f12 jacket and trouser which is waterproof but not sure how warm it is. Dont want a heavy weight jacket and dont mind paying if they work. Thank you in advance

Wouldn't you be better off with a fleece, thermals and a rather cheeky bobble hat all wrapped up in a GoreTex jacket? Those sj9's are well warm if you're active and a picklin. Nasty bitey pickles.

I have a fortis shirt 3 and it's perfect spring to autumn but when it's cold the sj9 comes out and that's also brilliant I've also got the sallopettes and it's very rare they get worn if I'm honest but also have a look at the Snugpak Sasquatch as well
I also have the aqua f12 waterproofs and they also have been great but they are not warm they are litterally a shell and so have all Bases covered though you do pay carp tax for carp brands

Not really. If you open the jacket undo the suspender buckles, then it's easy to get your toys out. If you don't do a crazy dance then the suspenders will stay in place. At first I also thought that it would be a problem, but in reality it wasn't.

If you can swallow your pride...
I bought an Aldi 'Crane' bib n brace and jacket for last winter, worn for barbel fishing right through and just getting it back into use this autumn.
Cost £45. Superb. Possibly they'll be selling them again soon?
That's all really

just got a snugpak sasquatch and its super warm (apparently designed for limited activity as well so perfect for fishing). Not waterproof but am going to combine it with the snugpak poncho for downpours.
If you want super warm and waterproof the only way forward is a sea fishing floatation suit but you have to get over the bright colours!

I bought the Aldi bib and brace last year and cant fault it, lovely and warm and about £25 I think.
I couple it with a sasquatch and never feel cold.
