I have had this jacket for 1 year now. I live in Wisconsin and I like to be outside and ice fish and just be able to be warm when I'm doing it. I have tried everything, from layering, to down (to Hot) and everything in between. I found fortress and watched a few vids o youtube. I thought if they can jump in the water and still be warm while sitting there it should work for me. I ordered the whole 9 yards, base layer, jacket, bibs, socks and beanie. Best money I ever spent! I went out ice fishing in 2021 and it was about 20 degrees with a 5-7mph wind on the ice. I had the base layer on and an insulated sweatshirt. I was comfortable all day. I gave a pair of the socks to my friend who ice fishes with me. Fast forward to 2022. I was out in the deep freeze. I wore the parka and bibs with jeans and a shirt underneath. I was nice and warm. My friend who I gave the socks to was out with me. I asked him if he still had the socks. He looked at me and said "It's all I wear now!" I can't say enough good things about the product and believe me when I say it was cold here -50 below is cold. I wasn't though. Are you?
Im a big fan of this coat; the wind protection layer is no joke and i feel it also helps alot to stop the warmth gathered by the loft from pouring out. It also has high collar that additionally retains warmth; i loved the extreme jacket, but always felt the gaping vortex of warmth escaping at the sternum where the v-neck is. unlike alot of other Fortress coats, the storm coat has a slippery interior lining that makes it alot easier to put on and off over layers.
A note about sizing. Fortress is recommending sizes based on height and weight, without listing actual dimensions. Im a bodybuilding, which throws that system off as muscle weighs alot more than fat (basically im 200lbs without a gut.) thus i had to return the large that the chart recommended. Im a watchman who doesnt move alot at night to generate warmth, so ive benefited from layering an old hybrid hoodie on top of the shadow jacket, and this slides nicely over them both, giving me 1,25 inches of loft total with the basepro. thus at 5'9" 200lbs i would probably fit into a small, but the medium works well as an overcoat and fits pretty good as well alone. i would say this is the warmest setup ive ever had, even better than when i used the extreme jacket and basepro under a canada goose snow mantra (which weighed a ton.) I was happy to offload the snow mantra for this much lighter option
Get the coat, Write right away about an exchange, try calling, I get -no reply- except to become an affiliate and now to review the product. I LOVE the coat, the fitting is a bit tight for a 3x, but I had questions about other sizing and a exchange only to be ghosted by them. LOVE the products, HATE the customer experience. It's tone deaf. So a 5 star product gets a 3 star because of the experience itself as the issues are entirely something under their control.
Great coat, does everything advertised. Very high quality cut. Keeps me warm on a cold bike ride. As always, very happy with Fortress Clothing. One tip: As soon as I got it I pierced the hood with a nylon loop to ensure I don't lose the hood of the coat. Easily give it 5 stars!
Let customers speak for us
from 538 reviewsI have the old insulated Cabelas bibs and parka, purchased years before Fortress clothing was available. It's well insulated, but Fortress is a new standard in insulation. I have the base layer, gloves, balaclava and insert for pack boots. I can wear lighter outer ware, so total weight is reduced. I wish I could justify 2 sets of cold weather gear. I am sure the Fortress gear would be lighter, and warmer.
Love this coat! Wore it skiing with only a sweat wicking shirt underneath. Kept me toasty on the chairlifts and vented well on the slopes. Thinking about trying out the hybrid hoodie next for when it isn’t quite so cold out.
Wanted an extra warm and dry layer for a winter trip to Alaska. It did the trick and I was extremely comfortable and not overly sweaty.
Yet another fantastic underlayer. I have heavily used the original pull-over BasePro top for several seasons. The full-zip version is perfect for additional layering options...fantastic for the widely varying conditions this year!
I purchased this because I get cold easily and I wanted a good layer for under my jacket for skiing. It definitely was warmer than my 2 wool shirts
I wish I had this equipment when I was in the service. Although the equipment now issued to our troops have come a long way, Fortress far surpasses anything I had been issued in the 22 years of service in the U.S. Army Special Forces.
Phenomenal gear.
I love the new BasePro Pants 2.0. They are made from a much softer, quieter material, but still just as warm as the original! Great improvement on a Great product!
Unlike the base layer with a half zipper this base layer is easy to put on and works well.
I live in a higher elevation and have been using it during the negative temps in Colorado. So far it’s been a really warm jacket only downside I’ve experienced is the bulkiness of the jacket and it’s slightly on the heavier side. Price point is great!
These are simply the best winter gloves I've ever had. I've used them multiple times in below freezing temperatures and my hands never got cold, they stayed nice and warm. If you need gloves to keep your hands warm in freezing temperatures, these are the ones to get!
Never disappointed with any Fortress's products. The warmest jacket for weight you will find. The greatest benefit is you can get this stuff totally wet and still be warm. I did size up as suggested and it fits close without being restrictive to movement
I ordered the Base Pro 2.0 to have an additional pair of pants to go along with my Base Pro pants. I wear the L in the Base Pro, but I needed the XL in the Base Pro 2.0. The Base Pro 2.0 are very comfortable and the added zipper is convenient. They felt comfortable from the moment I put them on. The warmth and comfort is superior, I wear them all day long both inside and outside for a little added warmth. I recommend them to all, just make sure you use the sizing chart to get a proper fit.
I have a drawer filled with gloves that promised warmth. Some of the gloves were over $150.00. They were worth $20 at best. I hate cold hands. I finally bit the bullet and spent the money for the GlovePro's. Well, it's been in the single digits for 5 days by St. Louis, where I live. My hands have been toasty. I went on a 2-mile walk, it was 2F and -17F windchill. When I came in (dressed in my Basepro pants, Basepro Crew, Tundra Coat, and Balaclava), I told my wife, "I'm burning up!" I was serious. She had to help me get my Basepro Crew off because I was a bit sweaty and the Crew fits me tight. Anyway, you cannot beat Fortress Clothing for warmth and comfort in cold weather!!
These gloves, though pricey, are well worth the cost. I appreciate how the shipping was quick, as I am here in WI for crane training, from GA. Some of the cranes at the school are not heated, bur the gloves have helped to keep my hands warm.
I love it! It keeps me warm and as i heat up i can Unzip and cool down if needed.
Thanks, Fortress, for a Fantastic Product!
