Product Information

The problem with writing product descriptions is that they need to short, sharp and to the point. So, let’s expand on a few of the important bits;

Like most of the Fortis range of carp gear though, they aren’t the cheapest. So we expect that you’ll be paying a small premium to have the Fortis Badge. We’ve had a look at the boots themselves in depth, so let’s discuss what you should look for in your carp fishing footwear. Warmth Except that isn’t true, they are better, way better and the best bit is…… actually I’ll save that for the end. Fishing shoes and boots come in so many shapes and sizes. All-rounder solutions like the Chub Vantage Field Boots are the perfect investment for outdoor enthusiasts and are also a durable, robust design for improved water resistance and traction.

Heat preservation: Microscopic closed cell EVA provides excellent heat insulation, anti-cold, non-frosting and insulation capabilities down to -30°C. Super-lightweight! Average weight is less than 350g each. Compare this to the usual 1,250g welly boot. What you will find with boots is the more rubber they are, the less breathable they will be. That’s why our feet sweat so much in wellies. And this is definitely the case for some of the boots on this guide, including the Fortis Elements, Navitas Lite and the Vass Boots. Heat preservation: Microscopic closed-cell EVA provides excellent heat insulation, anti-cold, non-frosting and insulation capabilities down to -30C

Fully waterproof: Made from insulating EVA closed-cell material; non-water-absorbing and moisture-proof. The bottom half of the boot is completely waterproof, so you’ll have no worries traipsing through mud and puddles on your session. At the base you have an extremely hard-wearing, yet comfortable sole, so you can expect to get more than a few years worth of wear if you invest in a pair of the Vass Fleece Lined Boots. All of that warmth does come at a price though, and that’s feeling like you’re walking on the moon! Although I am told that you get used to it, the Skee-Tex boots are known to be notoriously heavy.We’re in a funny old sport where it’s actually beneficial to have a pair of boots that are easy to slip on. The last thing you want when you get a take is to be tying laces all the way up your ankles! A simple tip but one that works very well is just to get your toes moving. Get some blood circulating and you’ll instantly feel them warming up. By some miracle though, your feet still breathe in the summer, so they don’t get too hot! Bloody brilliant! Fortis have been making waves in the carp fishing clothing game for a couple of years now. Therefore it was no surprise to see them venture into the world of carp fishing footwear in 2021. ROT RESISTANT – ever had a pair of boots or waders start leaking? I guarantee it’s not a cut or a tear, in fact it is likely to be because the seam or the sealant had rotted away. So, what did we do about it? Well we can’t give away the technology or material, but the Navitas Lite Insulated boots are resistant against sea water, oil, acid and alkali. In a nutshell, they are not going to leak anytime soon!
