For the best chance of staying dry, laminated waterproofing is the way to go…
Customers have praised the Wolf Fortitude jacket for its quality, comfort, and effective weather protection. Commonly highlighted aspects include the jacket's fit, although some found they needed to size up. It offers good ventilation, a warm liner, and reliable waterproofing. Criticisms include slightly short sleeves and a lack of included back protector. Despite minor issues, most agree it offers excellent value for money and commend its construction and practicality for various weather conditions.
I’ve used this jacket now both through the winter and summer and in the summer the vents really let the air flow through meaning you don’t heat up to much and in winter I never had a problem with the cold even when it rained heavily and I was stuck at the side of the A14 for 6 hours when my bike broke down it held up and didn’t even let the water in which was astounding. 100% recommend the jacket
Positives:
It's light, waterproof and a really good fit.
The liner zips in at the cuffs. Much better than the little loops and press studs you normally find here.
I had a problem with some stitching letting go which Wolf repaired quickly and without fuss.
Negatives:
Although it's laminated it soaks up water and takes an age to dry out again.
Lack of pockets, and I'd prefer top opening pockets rather than side openers for security.
Although Wolf were quick to repair the jacket I've lost confidence in the construction/quality control as PPE so I won't be wearing it again :(
Overall it's a lovely jacket but I can't really recommend it due to the potential issue with the stitching.
As soon as I tried the jacket on it felt light and a great fit. Haven't been out in rain yet. Only thing I can fault is only 2 pockets in the front.
Purchased that couple of weeks ago. Already had a pleasure to test in the rain and sunny weather. Warm jackets. Possibly could have more pockets but tbh now I truly don't mind as mainly focusing on my ride which proves jacket is very comfy and water&wind protecting. Decided to also buy trousers from wolf the same type as regular trousers is definitely no go in rainy days.
I bought this jacket as I already have the trousers and I can say with confidence that they are so comfortable and warm. Fits well, made well, looking forward to many ride days with this kit.
Fits perfect, been out in a storm kept me dry throughout. Only one issue, is l would perfer the back zip to connect to the other Wolf trousers. The zip length is very short
Bought this to replace my 12 year old wax jacket. I followed the advice and sized up. It fits perfectly. The jacket is very warm but I have not worn it in heavy rain yet, just a shower and it was fine.
Bought this to replace my 15 year old Hein Gericke, which was looking a bit batttered. Very pleased with it so far. Good fit, but snug around the neck, so a thin summer buff is called for. It's warm with the red thermal layer doing its job well. Only had a shower to ride through, as I don't ride to work now I'm retired. No issues with staying dry. Very pleased with the quality and price. Would recommend.
Ordered one size up after reading reviews, very helpful.
Yet to try water proof performance.
Lacking pockets, only 2 front outer and 2 internal and jacket a little big around waist with the pull cords not really that helpful.
Overall happy with quality and fit.
Well I read all the reviews for this jacket and ordered one size larger. Fitted perfectly, well made, the wool liner made it cosy and the jacket material is so soft fitted like a glove from first time I wore it, some clever bits too like magnetic poppers.
Just perfect for my needs.
Fits really well, great textile, very comfortable and compliant.. enough pockets, clean lines, very warm.. used in 2 x 5 hours ride to Wales drizzle one day stayed dry.. would recommend.
Coats great even if it is a tad snug ie im an XL so I bought XXL yet it's still tight around the neck and short in the arms.
Also, don't expect to take advantage of the 3 year warranty that Wolf offer as you can't register on their website and their email address doesn't exist.
I have been looking for a while to replace my all seasons jacket. The wolf Fortitude jacket has now done this. It's warm, comfortable and fits really well, although the sizing is a Lyon the small side so I had to go up 2 sizes from my normal jacket to get a good fit. Great service from sports bike shop
This Jacket is the best jacket I've bought so far. It's a steal for the price. It's comfortable. I've worn it in torrential rain for 45 mins straight and has no water come through whatsoever. Also keeps you nice and warm
A very good quality jacket, comfortably cool in hot weather, cozy in cold weather wit the liner in. And definitely waterproof, tested personally in heavy rain, absolutely no issues whatsoever. The only negative would be the slighly short sleeves - easily foxed with long cuff or gauntlet style gloves, but something to consider if you have long arms. Other than that it's absolutely brilliant, I highly recommend it!
Incredible jacket by Wolf. Since it arrived, I have had no need for any other jackets.
In warm weather, with the thermal liner removed and the vents open, the jacket is nice and cool, and in the cooler temps its nice and warm (although it hasn't been cold enough to need the thermal liner yet).
I've only worn it in the rain once when I got caught in a shower, but the jacket kept me bone dry.
Used the jacket for a trip to Pyrenees and stayed dry through thunderstorms, and the vents helped keep reasonably comfortable in 36
Fit is good and the lining is light and comfortable.
Brilliant jacket, very well made, liner is extremely warm, fits well, sizing perfect, looks far more expensive than it is, love it ! Really happy with this jacket, the right jacket for me.
