SWEAT WITHOUT THE COLD CHILLS

Made with the most efficient insulation so you don't have to worry about moisture

Fortress Strong

We make work and play easier since you won't be fighting to stay warm

We chose one black and one grey, which goes with pretty much anything. Keeping my head warm, it pretty much does exactly what I expected it to do, and can be paired with the Fortress Face Mask for even more coverage. I can tell you this, my noggin' will definitely be warm in a Fortress beanie!

Extreme mid layer jacket

The extreme mid layer jacket checks off every box on my list of desirable characteristics for a winter jacket. I already own plenty of duck down outer shell parkas, but I sought a jacket that will remain warm and keep its shape even after getting damp from sweat or rain. Overall, this extreme jacket was an excellent product purchase that I am very happy with because it fits under all of my outer shell jackets. I highly recommend this product.

Best Lightweight Jacket - Always in the Car

I hate wearing jackets… Whether too restrictive or too warm or not warm enough, never a real happy, medium. That is until I found this gem. This light weight, warm, comfortable jacket is perfect for the unpredictable. SoCal weather. Have already had a ton of use and love the pockets that are insulated. That was a genius idea! It’s perfect for keeping a chill off and keeping you warm through the insulation and body heat. Perfect for the those evenings in California when it’s warm during the day and cooling off at night. Definitely recommend this to anybody looking for a good lightweight, all-around jacket and it’s stylish.

Perfect warmth and movement

I recently purchased this vest for my Dad, 75 who is always feeling colder than everyone in the room. He loved the lightweight feel and the warmth throughout the day! He lives in this vest and has golfed, hiked, and even paired it under a blazer to wear at a few dressy engagements to keep him comfortable. He just loves it and recommends it to his active, senior community.

Husband loves his jacket!

My husband loves his jacket so much, his entire Christmas wishlist is the rest of the Fortress gear. Superior quality, affordable, and awesome delivery time/customer service! I will continue to rave about this brand to anyone that will listen! My husband is a city truck driver in the Midwest and staying warm at deliveries is a priority. He loves that he doesn’t get overheated in between stops when he’s driving. Thank you, thank you, thank you Fortress! It’s really awesome to know without a doubt that you get what you pay for time after time! We are lifetime customers :)
