Fortis x ICS Merino Wool Half Zip Jumper
The Fortis x ICS Merino Wool Half Zip Jumper combines 100% premium merino wool with a design developed by Fortis for Ian Coley Sporting. Soft, warm and remarkably lightweight, it provides a refined layer that works particularly well beneath a shooting waistcoat.
This collaboration reflects what we look for in a country jumper: natural warmth, a soft handle, unrestricted movement and a clean appearance. The 100% merino wool construction feels gentle against the skin while naturally helping to regulate temperature as conditions change.
Merino wool naturally breathes and wicks moisture away from the skin, helping you stay comfortable while active. It also provides natural insulation and odour resistance, making the jumper a practical choice for long days outdoors. The lightweight knit adds warmth without creating unnecessary bulk beneath outer layers.
The half zip funnel neck gives you control over ventilation and adds a classic sporting look. Ribbed cuffs and hem help maintain the jumper’s shape, while the cuffs also feature thumb holes for added coverage around the hands and a secure feel when layering.
Freedom of movement is particularly important when shooting. The regular fit allows you to move naturally, whether you are walking the fields or moving a gun through the line of a shot. Its slim, lightweight construction also makes it easy to wear beneath a shooting waistcoat without restricting your movement.

The ICS logo sits on the right-hand chest, marking this as a genuine collaboration between Fortis and Ian Coley Sporting. Made in the UK by Fortis, this merino wool jumper also works away from the field. Wear it over a shirt for a smart country look, or layer it beneath a waterproof jacket when the weather turns colder.
The Fortis x ICS Merino Wool Half Zip Jumper offers the combination of natural merino performance, lightweight warmth and shooting-friendly movement that we wanted from a collaboration with Fortis. It is a considered country layer made specifically around how we want a jumper to perform.
The key difference with this jumper is its combination of 100% merino wool and a shooting-friendly design. It provides the warmth needed outdoors while remaining thin enough to sit comfortably beneath a waistcoat.
The thumb-hole cuffs and freedom of movement are small details, but they matter when handling a gun. The result is a jumper that feels natural on the range or in the field, yet remains smart enough for everyday country wear.
As a Fortis and Ian Coley Sporting collaboration, the jumper has been made around the qualities we wanted to see in a merino layer. It is soft, lightweight and warm, with the ICS logo providing a subtle nod to our belief in the jumper.
