I am a very cold person. I have bad circulation and I always have cold extremeties. Last year I bought socks and gloves from fortress. While those were amazing in themselves, I bought the base pro and the extreme. I have to say. I am impressed. It is just starting to get chilly where I live, and it has been getting cold at night. I have been wearing the pants and they are amazingly warm. The only thing with the upper body that I would change is that I probably should have gotten a size smaller. I am a slender person, so if you look at their size chart, you might want to get a size smaller. At least in my experience.
Finally a balaclava that I can use during late fall motorcycle rides. comfortable, fits under my helmet. Keeps me warm without fogging my shield.
Thank you Fortress.
Too warm these days to wear, but I immediately noticed the various features of "extra" quality/durability, that I've learned to expect as the norm, for years now, from all Fortress products.
