SIZING GUIDE
There are no standard sizes for clothing, which is why each brand has their own unique cut and fit. Please do not presume you are the same size between brands for a similar product. If you have a synthetic insulated jacket that fits correctly, then use it as a template for these measurements.
HOW TO MEASURE
Chest - Measure the full circumference of your chest just below the armpits
Back Length - Measure from the back of your neck to the hem
Sleeve Length - Measure from the centre of the back of the neck, across the shoulder to the sleeve end.
Synthetic Insulated Jackets Fit
These jackets have been designed with a generous but not voluminous fit, allowing the use of base layers and mid layers underneath. Please be aware that these measurements are taken from the garments unstretched, apart from the 'TO FIT CHEST' column, that indicates the range of fit.
The table below shows the garment measurements for Snugpaks synthetic insulated jackets. There is a tolerance of +/- 10mm.

Washing instructions for Snugpaks Jackets are printed on a white silk tag stitched to the inside seam. Please follow these instructions carefully as failure to comply with them will make your guarantee void. If you have removed the tag or are unsure of the washing symbol meaning, the full washing instructions can be found below.
- Machine wash on a gentle setting or hand wash in water not exceeding 30°C or 86°F
- You can use a mild washing detergent but ideally you want to use an outer jacket specific washing treatment
- Wash dark colours separately, do not bleach, do not use fabric conditioners
- These jackets can be spun dry in a washing machine
- Do not tumble dry. Dry them instead on a line or airer.
- Do not dry clean
GENERAL WASHING TIPS
Repeated washing can damage the insulation structure and thus the thermal efficiency of your jacket. It is recommended that light soiling on both the inner and outer fabrics is sponged with soap and water to start with, machine/hand washing as a last resort.
Ensure the zip is done up fully otherwise the exposed teeth may cause harm in the wash cycle. The same can be said for garments containing Velcro. Your best course of action would be to wash these garments either by hand or on their own in a washing machine.
Do not store these jackets compressed in stuff sacks for long periods of time between uses. Store them either by hanging them up on a peg using the back neck hanging tab or laying them flat and loosely folding them in a wardrobe.
A Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is applied to the outer fabric of these jackets. The water repellence can be maintained with periodic re-treatment with a suitable aftercare DWR product - whether applied during the wash cycle or during hand washing.
Like most synthetics, Snugpak fabrics will melt or burn if exposed to flame or direct heat. They are not flame resistant; do not use them near ANY direct source of heat or flame.

Snugpak Torrent Insulated Waterproof Jackets have been built to battle everything nature has to throw at it.
The outer shell is manufactured from Paratex Dry, a 100% polyamide close weave fabric that has a hydrophilic polyurethane inner coating to provide a hydrostatic head of 5000mm, making it fully waterproof and windproof. It's comfort is enhanced with a high breathability rate, transmitting up to 7.5 litres of moisture per m2 per 24 hours, and a durable water repellent finish (DWR) to the outer face to prevent wetting out.
Insulation in these jackets utilises Snugpaks own Softie® polyester synthetic fill, providing all the benefits of down but retaining body heat even when wet and having greater loft recovery after compaction i.e. when stored in a stuff sack or backpack.
The inner layer of these Torrent jackets utilises a polyamide version of Snugpaks Paratex Light fabric, giving a softer handle but with superior robustness.
The design of these jackets has been cleverly thought out to enhance comfort without compromising on performance. All the outer stitching is tape seamed to prevent water ingress, with the two lined hand warmer pockets incorporating water resistant zips. A two way YKK water resistant front zip is backed up with a 25mm rear baffle, and a chin guard to prevent chafing. Underneath each armpit there is a 30cm aeration zip with a mesh backing and a protective outer baffle. The adjustable peaked hood can be removed to save weight via the rear hidden neck zip, and the wrist opening can be adjusted using the hook and loop tabs. On the inside left front panel there is a zipped security pocket, and a microfleece collar finish for extra comfort.
The unisex fit is generous on these jackets but not voluminous, allowing base layers and mid layers to be worn underneath. Two adjustor drawstrings on the inside hem allow you to tailor the fit around your waist, and a backdrop profile protects your rear when sitting down on unprotected surfaces.
