  • #16 Fortress Clothing - Hybrid Hoodie. Comfortable from -5F to 70F - Founder Dale Lewis Sharing His Story

    Josh sits down with Dale Lewis the founder of Fortress Clothing. Fortress Clothing, based out of Mt.

Now Fortress delivers comfort and style to individuals in harsh working environments, preppers looking for the perfect bug-out gear, and recreators who want to stay outside longer and more comfortably.
