This jacket was bought after much consideration. I am happy to say that it has met or exceeded all requirements after 2 years of usage.
It has a hardface that is moderately wind resistant and water resistant. Plus it provides sufficient warmth.
This jacket fits well. Will recommend... if still in productoin.

Truth be told, I usually don't bother to write reviews, especially at 7 am (EST). But this Arc'teryx Fortrez Hoody, with the exception of it being a little tight around my Adam's apple, is a great hoody. I especially love the integrated balaclava. "Why?" you ask. Well for starters it just looks cool, and it serves as a de facto COVID mask/neck gaiter. Now I don't have to carry around a stupid mask, which, according to CDC numbers on those that regularly wear masks to prevent themselves from contracting COVID, is pretty much useless anyway. But aside from the balaclava, the entire hoody itself, in size medium, fits me perfectly and really accentuates my medium, athletic build at 6'1", 185 lbs. And with the combination of the scuba-style hood and integrated balaclava, I get to play master ninja this upcoming Halloween! Oh yeah, baby!
Pros:
- Design, Fit, Comfort, Integrated Balaclava, Hood
Cons:
- A little tight arounf the neck area
Best Used for:
- Can be worn year round, for a slew of outdoor or indoor activities

Zippered fleece with a hood! Yes finally someone made one......I love this piece of gear. Super quality fleece, great front zipper, quality cuffs, zippered chest pocket and a hood. Such great flexibility with this garment and well made like all arc'teryx products.

Would recommend this jacket as it provides a nice fit and is very warm. The only negative for me is that the sleeves are slightly long, but I've noticed that with other Arc'teryx gear as well. Other than that, great fleece jacket.

As you know with most Dead Bird products the quality and materials are great. I have no issues with any of those things. A few things I wish I could change are the fit. The sleeves are a bit tight even with someone without big arms. Thankfully they are stretchy as it is a bit tough to get it over a long sleeve that's thicker than a tee. If you understand it's a mid layer piece meant to be a close to skin layer then this works just fine. Secondly, the hoody is very long. Maybe 2-3 inches too long. I'm not very tall (5'9) but it looks a bit like a dress on me.
As mentioned in previous reviews this is very breathable meaning it does NOT block wind but I knew that when I was purchasing this.

Hoody is warmer than it looks, fits true to the brand, and is impeccably cut/sewn.

This is a very close fitting jacket. I am a fairly slim guy and it still is almost skin tight around the chest and around the shoulders. Luckily for me it was just perfect. I am 175cm, and have a bit broader than average shoulders, but a slim torso. Additionally, sleeve lengths were spot on, and give a little extra.
Functionality wise, this jacket is built for use while on the move or exerting a f
