Fortis Mens Forester Coat

Fortis Mens Forester Coat

The Fortis Mens Forester Coat is a lightweight endurance coat built to perform in the harshest country conditions. Designed for active outdoor life and shooting, it combines weather protection with considered functionality — from deep cartridge pockets to zipped side openings that aid movement and access. The detachable, adjustable hood and double storm flap keep the elements at bay while handwarmer and hidden chest pockets keep essentials secure.

The Forester is built around a resilient Eco Ripstop outer and a waterproof drop-liner that balances complete wet-weather protection with reliable breathability. Ripstop technology weaves reinforced threads into the fabric so the coat resists tearing and tolerates far more scratches and abrasion than standard garments. In practical terms this means the Forester withstands normal field wear and accidental snags without failing, delivering long-lasting performance season after season.

The coat’s layout is deliberately shooting-friendly: generous lower cartridge pockets, deep hidden chest pockets and a smart pocket arrangement give quick access and secure storage when you’re on the move. Zipped side openings make it easy to sit, mount or move without bulk restricting your action. For full peace of mind the Forester is windproof, waterproof and covered by a 1 year warranty.

Proudly hand-crafted in Britain on the Fortis family farm in Devon, each Forester Coat benefits from traditional skills married to modern materials — a combination that gives the coat its distinctive quality and long service life. We also stock the matching Fortis Mens Forester Overtrousers (sold separately) if you want a fully coordinated weatherproof set for the field.
