Outdoor Research Fortress Jacket - Women's
Sold out


Dead-of-winter freeride ski jacket, waterproof and insulated against the elements. When "typical" ski gear simply won't cut it, you need the Fortress Jacket. Designed for dead-of-winter tours when it's difficult to generate your own warmth, the Fortress is insulated with VerticalX™ technology and covered with a 100% waterproof Pertex Shield shell to chase away any doubts about the forecast. VerticalX™ is the high-loft synthetic insulation with a superior warmth-to-weight ratio, breathability, and moisture management that works even in drenched conditions. The specialized Hood Lock™ feature easily adjusts for a customizable fit with or without helmet. Ski-specific features like reinforced scuffguards, internal Shove-It™ pockets, and weather-shielding stormflaps ensure that whatever the snow report looks like, you'll want to seek a Fortress.
