Thursday Focus - Fortis Fashion

Fortify Your Fishing Style

 Summer's on its way, and, with it, plenty of opportunity for socials, and trips to warmer climes for some truly epic angling.  We might even get some blue skies and bright warmth on our good old British banksides, meaning that short sleeves will be the order of the day – at least for a few hours!

If you're looking for clothing that looks as good at the barbecue as it does on the bank, then look no further than Fortis, a brand whose name was made with stylish polarised sunglasses, and who have carried that perfection crafting and attention to detail into a range of casual clothing that's suitable for any angler, and looks great wherever you are.

In hopes of a good summer, we'll review two Fortis t-shirts, and hedge our weather-related bets with a half-zip top that can be quickly pulled on if the weather gets cold, or worn as an effective base layer on this breezy days, when you don't want to look like you're heading off on an Arctic expedition, but you know you'll need to keep your forearms covered, and that you'll appreciate a little extra warmth by the end of the day.

 

Fortis See Deeper T-Shirt

Tell Me About It

 This striking t-shirt could easily have come straight from any of the leading high street fashion chains, with a quixotic, deep and meaningful slogan hinting at hipster aspirations, and providing a style and fit to match.

As soon as you put it on, however, and feel the satin-smooth, moisture-wicking fabric against your skin, you know this is a piece of clothing that's ready for action, and whose slogan is a challenge; see deeper, see what's going on below the surface, so you can carefully plan your attack, choosing the rig, bait, and technique you know will work.

Cut to fit, this t-shirt fits snugly, yet comfortably; even larger anglers will still enjoy full, relaxed freedom of movement, in a t-shirt that feels almost as though you're not wearing it, and that keeps your temperature stable no matter what the weather does; if it gets cold, you'll feel warm wearing this t-shirt as a base layer, yet you'll stay cool and fresh through the most active session on the hottest summer day.

In terms of style, the Fortis See Deeper t-shirt, presented in black, with camo contrast logo across the chest, looks as good as it feels, making it perfect for carpy socials, barbecues, fishing holidays, and those emergency runs into town to top up your tackle – or pay those pesky bills that get in the way of your fishing time!

This t-shirt goes well with cargo trousers, joggers, or jeans, and is a versatile essential that should be in every anglers' wardrobe.

What Do People Say?

 If I had the money (and was oblivious to the fact that people think it's a little... odd to be seemingly wearing the same shirt everyday!) I'd buy a dozen of these t-shirts, and wear nothing else.  It's comfortable, it's cool when the weather's hot, and warm when the weather's cold, and there's no restrictions on your range of movement – whether you're lunging forward in a close-fought play, or bringing your rod back for a truly epic cast, the Fortis See Deeper T-shirt feels as though it's a part of you; there's no pinching, chafing, or distracting scratchiness; this is the smoothest-feeling t-shirt you'll ever own, and a real statement piece.

 If you prefer to be a little more subtle in your style, but still want a fit that feels good, keeps you fresh, and allows you to move the way your angling demands, then the discreet branding of the Fortis Minimal Pocket T-shirt will be right up your street.

Presented in drab khaki, this t-shirt is classic carp,and looks as good at a scenic rural lake as it does at the side of an urban pit.  Made from durable, medium-weight cotton, this t-shirt is cut to fit, giving a comfortable feel that's easy to move in, and provides optimal temperature control when worn as a base layer. If you want to wear it on its own, it looks and feels great, wherever you are, and is ideal for those secluded swims where you may not want to stand out too much.
