The Fortress Clothing Journey - Fortress Clothing

The Fortress Clothing Journey

Fortress Clothing® began with a simple, yet ambitious goal: to keep people warm, even in the harshest conditions. This mission has guided our journey from the very start, leading to the development of our innovative Aeris® insulation technology.

Innovation Rooted in Necessity

Our founder, Dale Lewis, faced extreme cold while working in Alaska. Frustrated with the inefficacy of traditional cold-weather gear, he envisioned a solution that would keep wearers warm, dry, and comfortable, regardless of the conditions. This vision led to the creation of Aeris® insulation, a patented USA technology that revolutionizes how we think about staying warm.

The Breakthrough on Shark Tank

Our big break came when Fortress Clothing® was featured on Shark Tank. This exposure showcased our unique technology to a broad audience, solidifying our reputation for producing high-performance cold-weather gear. The Sharks were impressed by our product's ability to keep users warm even when wet, setting us apart from other brands.

Expanding the Line

Building on this success, we expanded our product line to include a variety of men’s and women’s clothing, such as base layers, jackets, vests, parkas, and more. Each piece is designed to work across a broad temperature range, making it versatile for different environments and activities.
