Is the Fortress jacket actually waterproof?

It uses a durable water repellent coating with taped seams, which sheds snow and light rain. It is not a fully waterproof membrane shell, so heavy rain or long wet sessions can soak through.

How warm is it for skiing?

Medium-weight synthetic down insulation is aimed at typical resort winter days. On very cold days, layer a fleece or midlayer underneath; on warm spring snow, open the underarm vents.

Does the hood come off?

Yes. The insulated hood is removable, and the faux fur trim comes off separately.

What sizes does it come in?

The Fortress is made for plus-size women in sizes 1X through 6X.

What features does it have for snow sports?

It has an interior snow skirt, a watertight front zipper, underarm vents, ninja cuffs with thumbholes and an interior goggle pocket.

Can I wear it for everyday winter wear?

Yes. It works for walking, sledding and commuting in snow, though the snow skirt and vents are extras you may not need off the slopes.
