Worn By Champions, For Champions-Fortis
Fight for Comfort
Fortis comes from the Latin word which means strong, brave and powerful. What better wording for a brand that was built by fighters, for fighters. A lion represents and shares the same characteristics, and thus the lion personifies Fortis. While every fighter may carry the same attributes, Fortis is proud to represent the true fighters and warriors! When it comes to training, boxing gloves, and apparel to wear in and out of the ring, Fortis aims to deliver the 1-2 punch in comfort and style.
Whether you are a boxing, MMA fighter, or you just train to keep fit, Fortis has you covered. Whatever life throws at you, you must keep on going and that is why what you rep matters. Our crew connected with Fortis to review their lineup of boxing apparel to see if the fit and vibe matches the true heart of a Lion.
INITAL IMPRESSIONS
Fortis is an apparel and boxing equipment brand based in the United Kingdom with a mission to create premium quality apparel and equipment to represent boxing as it should be. Not only that but they believe a big part of boxing is giving back. Our crew learned that FAortis has teamed up with the charity Penny Appeal to help and aid underprivileged countries and those undergoing crisis. With 5% off all proceeds donated to this charity, Fortis can fight both in and out of the ring.

TRYING THEM OUT
Fortis’s lineup is vast yet very specific to getting Champions in the Ring and dominating once they arrive. Our crew tested a few products out to evaluate the overall quality, fit, and brand.
Construction
The construction of the shirts, hoodies, joggers- all the items- were top notch. Some of the sizing is a bit smaller than the normal “fit” we are used to, but we don’t see that as a negative when it comes to the sew lines, material, and overall construction of the apparel. The clean hem lines, overall body fit, and the material blends were solid.
Construction Rating: 9/10
Material Quality
Quality is key. When it comes to the material used in Fortis’ lineup, it ranks up there with other high end brands. The 65% cotton, 35% polyester blend of the sweatshirt was nice on cooler days and flexible enough to go wherever you roam.
The material is much like you would find from custom apparel designers and soft and durable for the wash. Solid selection of sourced materials for the line of apparel.
Material Rating: 8/10
Feel/wearability
What good is a sweatshirt, jacket, jogger- any apparel, if the feel is not right? We do not buy or try shirts just for the looks in a box- we want to make sure they feel and wear great. Well, the sweatshirt, joggers, and jackets do. Even after several washes (ok listen we washed them to test out how to wash, ok?)….anyhow, no matter the activity the feel is still as soft, comfortable, and clean looking as the first time.
Feel/Wearability Rating: 9/10
Our crew dug the lineup from Fortis and with the lineup of Champions on their team, it is no wonder this brand makes you feel like you could rule the world.
