Fortis Collection
(adj.) strong, vigorous
Proprietary yarns used in Fortis fabrics are spun from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber blended with other polymers and knit to create a stronger, lighter, more durable fabric. UHMWPE does not take dye well which gives it a unique look and feel.

NW Alpine are climbers making gear for other climbers, and it shows! Absolutely love their philosophy, ethos, and commitment to U.S. manufacturing.
Made In The U.S.A.
Our commitment to the revitalization of American manufacturing is as critical a component to our products as the materials we use to make them.
By choosing to make our apparel in the United States, we are investing in both the outdoor community and the community we live in.
Everything we use has to be made somewhere, by someone. So why not here?
