How to Layer for Cold Weather with Fortress Clothing
Some of the biggest questions in the cold weather clothing industry revolve around how to layer for cold weather, here are our suggestions.
Long gone are the days where the five step layering system is a necessity to go out in cold weather.
BasePro
Times have changed, technology has changed.
With Fortress you can now wear 2-3 layers, depending upon your activity and the temperature, and still be warm and comfortable.
All you need is the BasePro, Classic Pant and a Hybrid Hoodie for layering, in temperatures as cold as -20F, to be comfortable.
Three lightweight clothing items that will hold in the warmth, even if they get wet. So put those long johns, waterproof pants, wicking shirt, fleece and waterproof jackets in storage, all you need is Fortress Clothing.
We have tested this gear in severe weather conditions, the technology behind Fortress is hard to match, with the capability of keeping you warm in snowy or rainy conditions, even if you perspire.
The BasePro has a soft feel against your skin, it is flexible and light weight, made from Polyester Spandex, it breathes and wicks, giving it the ability to work perfectly on it’s own, with a light shirt on a cool day, or combined with the hoodie on a cold snowy day.
The Hoodie is built using a Polyester Mesh lining that helps pull moisture and sweat away from the body. The outer fabric is a wind resistant Polyester Micro Rip-Stop Taffeta with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish which repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times.
We can barely contain our excitement! Fortress BasePro won some top honors at the 2018 Worldwide Winter Show in February. Our BasePro was awarded “BEST NEW PRODUCT 2018″ and “BEST IN SHOW†against some tough competitors. We knew our stuff was amazing and we are ecstatic that experts do as well.

The BasePro insulated base-layer Crew Neck Top is part of a VERSATILE layering system that is revolutionizing outdoor activity. We have combined a base layer Top with the use of the Patented AERIS™ 250 insulation in key areas, creating one of the first base layers in the market that is insulated, helping reduce the need for multiple layers.
It is light-weight, unrestrictive, breathable and comfortable between temperatures of -5°F to 70°F.
The BasePro utilizes the advantage of a 4-way stretch brushed polyester, resulting in comfort against the skin. It is built using reinforced stitching in high movement areas to ensure durability and comfort through the most demanding activities.
BasePro is not limited only to the adventurers, but makes an effective and lightweight base layer for anyone facing a variety of outdoor temperatures, for work and play.
BasePro is designed to be used ‘next-to-skin’ as a first layer with the addition of a basic loose fitting long sleeve shirt, light weight outer shell or Jacket.
