OEX Women’s Fortitude II Waterproof Jacket

The feature-packed Fortitude is an ever-popular women’s hill walking jacket from OEX. We’d hazard a guess that there aren’t many summits in the UK that it hasn’t reached. With all that exploring under its hood, the jacket has been upgraded in some key areas to improve its performance on the hill.

The two-layer jacket boasts a new stretchy outer material delivering high levels of flex and a dependable waterproof performance to keep you dry when a shower turns into a downpour. It also has upgraded YKK water-resistant zips that strengthen its defences against the rain.

A mountain fit is streamlined but leaves room to layer up with a baselayer and midlayer. There’s also plenty of adjustability throughout the jacket to help you find a secure, personalised fit. Added underarm pit zips offer an effective way to cool down after a stretch of steep uphill, keeping you dry and comfortable.
