For the SK35, you have several good solutions for a polarizer.
Lee makes a 105mm thin CL-PL, which fits perfectly. It's a bit on the warm side, but a nice filter.
B+W makes a 105mm normal thickness, which fits very well also, and is a bit cool.
Heliopan makes a 105mm very thick CL-PL and by it self is to my eye neutral.
The bigger issue you will find is looking for a ND filter (if you need them).
The only 105mm I know of is my Hitech, in the Firecrest line. I waited over 1 year to get 2 of them. They are excellent filters, no color cast and thin, so you can easily stack 2 if needed.
Other option is the Lee SW-150 with a Lee wide angle ring. This is much heavier solution, but the lens can support it. The SW-150 will take 2 filters in the 2mm thickness. I have a Nisi CL-PL and 2 of the Firecrest ND filters all in the 150mm size. But since I finally got the 105mm ND filters I rarely use the Lee SW-150 now.

Thanks Voidshatter. It looks like Paul gave me more than enough information! Good to know about the bulkiness of the system.
Thank you Paul for the detailed answer, this is extremely helpful. I will have a look at all these options. And yes, I will need a ND filter at some point.
Last thing: I assume that none of these solutions present vignetting issues...

Cokin Pro works great and is only 130mm.
