If you want top of the range- Fortis clothing Calor jacket gets my vote- As with all the Fortis clothing, handmade in Devon, brilliant products and after sales.

Soz that previous link is the latest 'ultralight' version hence no pockets - this is the version you need . .

Patagonia Nano Air (Proper!)

All my fortis snugpak have been spot on so far. Sj3, fj6 and more recently the sj9 tarty flektarn has been brilliant this last winter and cold spring. I wouldn't hesitate to replace them if they are still available

Fortis thermal trail jacket is very good. Been using since January.

Try and get a previous season release (the design gets tweaked over the seasons) . . .just noticed the latest doesn't have hand pockets which is daft (these are mountaineering products - presumably in an attempt to get the weight at 250g)

Honestly these are brilliant jackets if your looking for lightweight warmth and breathability . . .mega versatile

So they do!! Just under the snugpak brand

Well might just get a straight replacement unless there are any other suggestions.

@belch I'll take a look at the Patagonia one

Would def consider Patagonia Nano Air . . .they are neither cheap nor waterproof but they are the best multi-temp jacket on the market IMO. I have several in the hoody version and use them as a winter skiing mid-layer / spring outer . . I also have a dedicated khaki one for fishing and it has a permanent place in my barrow bag. It packs small (into its own pocket) but the warmth for weight is brilliant, especially with a fleece in early spring / autum etc. . .you can also wear it with a T shirt in 16-18 degrees and not feel hot / sweaty . . .ideal down the pub jacket - its that light you dont even know your wearing it if that makes sense . . .

Hi All,

After years of faithful service my SJ3 has seen better days and needs replacement. I think that the jacket is no longer produced. Does any one have any recommendations for a replacement?

Looking for something lightweight and not too warm i.e. spring and autumn use only.

Cheers
