Fortis Mens Stowaway Jacket

Fortis Mens Stowaway Jacket

The Fortis Mens Stowaway Jacket is your go-anywhere, do-anything outer layer — designed to deliver maximum performance in a truly portable package. Weighing just around 400g and made from a flexible 4-way stretch fabric, it’s incredibly comfortable, easy to move in, and light enough to take everywhere.

The Fortis Mens Stowaway Jacket features a clever packaway design that lets you fold the entire jacket into its own lower pocket, secured by a zip. This makes it easy to stash in a rucksack, glove box, or range bag so it’s always on hand when you need it.

Despite its featherlight feel, the Stowaway offers serious weather protection. Its windproof construction and impressive 20,000HH waterproof rating keep you dry even in heavy downpours. In simple terms, this means the fabric can withstand a column of water 20 metres high pressing down on it before it starts to leak — far more waterproof than standard rain jackets.

For shooters, the Stowaway Jacket offers a unique advantage — it’s slim and light enough to wear under a skeet vest or shooting waistcoat without restricting your movement. That means you can stay protected from wind and rain while maintaining a full range of motion and quick gun mount.

Proudly Made in Britain, each Stowaway Jacket is hand-crafted on the Fortis family farm in Devon. This commitment to local craftsmanship ensures exceptional quality and durability, while supporting sustainable British manufacturing.
