Fortis 115 Hoody
Fortis 115 is NW Alpine's answer to the ever-growing demand for an ultralight, ultra-strong, breathable, and highly abrasion resistant layer. Built with our proprietary blend of yarns made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) and the highest quality nylon fibers available, we believe the Fortis 115 Hoody to be best in its class! Best of all, it's made responsibly here in the U.S.A.
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?
