Lightweight Performance at the Core

The Essentials strip everything back to what truly matters weight,
performance and value. A minimal, no-frills design keeps them light and
comfortable, while our signature polarised lenses ensure the optical
performance Fortis is known for. Simple, effective and built with purpose.

Essentials use the same trusted Fortis polarised lenses found across the rest
of the range. Two core lens options allow you to match performance to typical
light conditions and how you prefer to read the water.
