Fortis Forester jacket

[Macnucator]

Does anyone have any experience with the Fortis forester jacket? I'm considering getting one, any thoughts would be appreciated.

Yes, if the design has not changed (drop liner) it's the sweatiest jacket I know of. They don't breathe. Good pockets, well designed but they need to look at the materials they use. Not the quietest either.

Ive got one of there sas smocks and to be fair i cant really fault it

 

[Craigsaun]

I have trousers and smock . Not very comfortable and definitely not waterproof

Trust me, there is FAR better stuff out there for similar money.

I have one of their Denison smocks, it's OK but it was never waterproof, and it was supposed to be.
I'll second what Dawnrazor says, there's much better stuff available....

The Keela Munro is a better jacket, more breathable and definitely more waterproof, and about 100 quid cheeper.

Don’t waste your money unless you enjoy getting wet.

Wouldn't it be great if walking/mountaineering brands did some of their clothes in a shade of green.

Check out the Fjallraven Vardag jacket. Inexpensive compared with others, hardwearing, breathable and perfect for stalking. I've been using their Vida Pro trousers for several years now and they're perfect and still going strong:
