Trail Collection

Serious performance. Everyday price.
Trail is Fortis’ accessible technical clothing and footwear range, built for anglers who stay mobile, cover water and need kit that works without the premium price tag. From waterproof jackets and trousers to insulated layers, hoodies, zip-off trousers, caps, boots and trainers, Trail focuses on practical weather protection, breathable comfort, durable fabrics and clean Fortis styling.

Why choose Trail?

Trail is made for active carp, coarse and predator anglers who need dependable clothing for moving, casting, walking, stalking and changing conditions. It delivers affordable fishing clothing with genuine bankside performance — light enough for mobile sessions, tough enough for regular use and versatile enough to layer across the seasons.

What it does well

• Mobile performance: lightweight, practical garments designed for anglers who cover ground and stay active.
• Weather-ready protection: waterproofs, outer layers and technical fabrics help manage wind, showers and changing conditions.
• Everyday value: dependable fishing clothing and footwear without unnecessary features or inflated pricing.
• Freedom to move: comfortable fits and functional cuts for casting, netting, walking and working around the swim.
• Seasonal versatility: layer Trail with base layers, hoodies, insulated pieces or waterproof shells depending on the conditions.

How to build your Trail system

Start with a breathable base layer, add a Trail Hoodie or insulated mid-layer for warmth, then finish with Trail waterproofs when rain or wind moves in. For warmer mobile sessions, pair a lightweight top with Trail Utility Pants or Zip Off Trousers. For long walks, stalking or rough banks, choose Trail Boots or Trail Trainers depending on the ground.

Fit & sizing

Choose your usual size for a regular fit with room to move. For colder sessions where you plan to wear base layers, hoodies or insulation underneath, consider sizing up for extra room.

Care tips

• Wash cool and line-dry where possible to preserve fabric performance.
• Avoid fabric softeners on technical garments and waterproofs.
• Refresh DWR treatments on outer layers when water stops beading on the surface.
• Always follow the care label on the individual product.

Trail Collection FAQs

What is Trail designed for?

Trail is the active performance range within the Fortis clothing system. Designed for anglers who stay mobile, cover water and adapt constantly to changing conditions, Trail focuses on technical fabrics, practical features and dependable performance at an everyday price point.

Where does Trail sit within the Fortis clothing system?

Trail sits between your base layers and your specialist outerwear. It provides technical mid-layers, active outerwear, footwear and waterproofs that work across most fishing situations throughout the year.

What should I wear underneath Trail?

During cooler conditions, Elements thermal layers provide the ideal foundation beneath Trail garments. This combination balances warmth, comfort and mobility without unnecessary bulk.

When should I choose Trail instead of Minimal?

Choose Trail when mobility, technical performance and weather protection are priorities. Minimal focuses more on comfort, casual wear and everyday layering, while Trail is built specifically for active fishing.

When should I choose Trail instead of Marine?

Trail is designed for mixed conditions, mobility and everyday performance. Marine is designed specifically for prolonged exposure to wind and rain. Many anglers wear Trail throughout the day and add Marine when weather conditions deteriorate.

When should I choose Trail instead of Tundra?

Trail excels during active fishing, stalking, walking and milder weather. Tundra is designed for prolonged exposure to cold conditions and static winter fishing where maximum insulation is required.

Can Trail be used throughout the year?

Yes. Trail is arguably the most versatile collection within the Fortis system, with garments suitable for spring, summer, autumn and winter depending on how they are layered.

What is the ideal Trail layering setup?

Many anglers start with Elements base layers, add Trail hoodies, trousers or insulated garments, then finish with Marine waterproofs or Tundra outerwear if conditions require additional protection.

Who is Trail best suited to?

Trail is ideal for anglers who spend time walking, stalking, moving swims and adapting to changing conditions. It is designed for active fishing rather than purely static sessions.
