Fortius is a stretch woven plain weave fabric made of continuous textured nylon/spandex filaments. It is similar to Schoeller Dynamic.Arc'teryx products made with Fortius or Gore-tex are both treated with the same DWR treatment. Gore-tex is %100 nylon, and Fortius is %84 nylon and %16 spandex. The DWR sticks to Nylon a lot better than stretchy spandex, so the DWR is going to stick to Gore-tex a lot better than it does on Fortius.
