Womens - Skiing & Snowboarding - Arc'teryx Australia

Our comprehensive women's ski and snow gear collections provide everything needed for resort skiing, freeride progression, and backcountry adventures. From technical waterproof shells to lightweight touring jackets, these coordinated systems ensure optimal comfort, mobility, and weather protection throughout varying mountain conditions and activity levels.

Discover Essential Snow Gear

Snow gear systems require high-performance shell jackets that work together seamlessly with your insulating layers for comprehensive mountain protection and optimal performance during skiing and snowboarding adventures.

Ski Jackets and Shells

Ski jackets provide critical waterproof protection and breathability during dynamic mountain movement. These specialised jackets feature integrated powder skirts, internal goggle pockets, and strategic pit ventilation systems designed specifically for harsh alpine environments. Our premium GORE-TEX shells ensure reliable weather protection while maintaining comfort during high-output skiing and snowboarding adventures.

Lightweight Backcountry Shells

Snow gear setups require streamlined shell jackets that deliver reliable storm protection without restricting your movement or creating unnecessary bulk during dynamic freeride descents. These technical outer layers pack down easily during high-output skin tracks, blocking piercing ridge winds while actively regulating your core body temperature.

Women's-Specific Alpine Fit

Ski outfits depend on outer layers designed for ergonomic performance on the descent. Our women's shell jackets feature articulated patterning, gusseted underarms, and targeted room for cold-weather layering systems, ensuring a full range of motion while eliminating excess fabric that can catch the wind on high-velocity lines.

Helmet-Compatible Protection

Complete snow gear includes technical storm hoods engineered to shield your face and neck from driving spindrift without limiting your field of vision. These fully adjustable designs fit securely over standard ski helmets, sealing out freezing alpine drafts during deep winter chairlift rides and variable backcountry storms.

How to Layer a Ski Outfit

Snow gear utilises proven layering principles that optimise comfort and performance across varying mountain conditions and activity levels. This systematic approach allows precise temperature control by adjusting layers as conditions and exertion levels change throughout mountain adventures, ensuring optimal comfort from first chair to last run.

  • Base Layer: Choose moisture-wicking base layers that manage perspiration and provide foundational warmth against the skin during extended skiing activities.
  • Mid Layer: Select a fleece jacket or lightweight down mid-layer that provides breathable warmth without bulk, allowing easy temperature regulation during varying activity levels from chairlift rides to aggressive skiing.
  • Outer Layer: Layer with ski jackets or shell jackets that provide waterproof protection and wind resistance while maintaining breathability during high-output snow sports.
  • Essential Accessories: Explore beanies, technical socks, and other temperature regulation accessories that prevent heat loss from your head during cold mountain conditions.
