Save some more £ and get a RAB Valiance - Hydrophobic down and Pertex+ shell - so warmer and waterproof; hood is decent as well!

I agree mate. The WGTE thing is completely pointless as far as I can tell.

Thanks to you both but what a stupid thing to do using wtge as some sellers are advertising torrent wtge and some just say torrent makes it look like there are 2 different models i might have sent mine back thinking it was old model if it wasn’t for you guys I know there is the extreme that’s very clear

WTGE is the standard one. It just stands for their motto... we go to extremes, or something like that. Don't underestimate it, it's warm mate.

Mine isn't that padded,i think it's the outer material that helps keep the wind and rain out.I know the fortis coats feel alot more padded but my Torrent is extremely warm,I would be shocked if yours isn't

I ordered the torrent it’s come anyone know what does torrent wgte mean is this different than a standard torrent
Well first impression is it doesn’t seem that warm compared to a sj6 I tried on while back it doesn’t seem there’s a lot of padding got the impression it’s more of a spring autumn jacket can’t see it be any good for winter or is it me happy to be wrong

I have the original one, it's a superb jacket. The armpit vents work a treat at regulating temps so you don't sweat. I very rarely feel the need for anything other than a t-**** under it. It very much isn't waterproof though. If I lost mine I'd not question buying the new waterproof one.

Are they more accurate than the Fortis stuff, cus their stuff is all over the place.
All Snugpak stuff is a bit all over the place with sizing, including the Fortis jobbies. Luck of the draw mate. I had to return 2 SJ9's to get one that fitted really well. With the Torrent I was lucky first time.

What’s the sizing like Tony? I’d have to order online so no chance of trying on prior to buying.
