Funny I was looking at this fleece today I hope the sizing isn't all over the place like there jackets it's ok boasting about being made in uk
try getting the sizing right tried on 5 last week all different don't they work to a pattern I've had a few bits of fishing clothing over the last 40 years probably made in China never had problem with size

I've just ordered the Sherpa Gilet, exactly what I've been looking for.

As far as sizing goes I have always found Fortis consistent and true to size...I've got the marine jacket, a hoodie and the SJ9 all in size Large and they fit perfectly...

Got the fortis 3, 6 and Sasquatch and they fit very well.

Had to try quite a few on in each cost before getting a nice fit.

Goooey

True to size, but poor quality in comparison to other Fortis products. Much prefer my original Trakker Sherpa fleece.

looked at these today and wasn't impressed,the inside felt like the underside of a carpet,very rough to touch and could see it annoying the hell out of me.

Dunno if you have considered the
Fox Collection Sherpa Hoody Green/Silver
Very very warm and soft fleece, zip and bottom toggles arnt that great quality wise, but all the same I like it.

Probably better off having a trip to Cotswold outdoor to look at tops.

I have a cheap fleece from somewhere that is the same material, it's a slight bit scratchy on the inside but it doesn't bother me. My problem with the material is wind cuts right through it and when/if you catch the slime from the fish dries crusty on it and looks/feels horrible after.
