Explore Women's Ski Jackets at Arc'teryx
Women's ski jackets deliver essential protection and performance for alpine adventures, featuring advanced waterproof materials, strategic ventilation, and tailored fits designed for dynamic mountain movement. Our women's snow jackets combine technical functionality with mountain-proven durability to keep you comfortable during resort days and backcountry expeditions. These specialised shells provide comprehensive weather protection while maintaining breathability during high-output skiing and snowboarding.
Shell Jackets vs Puffer Jackets: What are the Differences?
Both shell jackets and puffer jackets provide weather protection, but they serve distinct purposes for different mountain activities and layering strategies.
Choose shell jackets when versatile layering is essential. These waterproof outer layers allow you to customise insulation underneath based on conditions and activity levels. Shell jackets excel for variable weather and high-output activities where temperature regulation through layering is critical for comfort and performance.
Choose puffer jackets when integrated warmth and weather protection are priorities. These all-in-one solutions combine waterproof shells with built-in insulation, perfect for consistent cold conditions where convenience and immediate warmth matter more than layering flexibility.

Women's Ski Jacket Features and Technology
Women's snow gear incorporates specialised features designed specifically for alpine environments and snow sport demands. Gore-Tex membranes provide proven waterproof protection while maintaining breathability during high-output activities. Powder skirts create secure seals that prevent snow infiltration, while articulated construction enhances mobility during dynamic skiing movements.
Best Sports for Women's Ski Jackets
Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding: Women's ski jackets provide essential weather protection during resort skiing and snowboarding where powder skirts prevent snow infiltration and strategic venting manages body temperature during aggressive runs. The tailored fits allow full range of motion during dynamic movements while maintaining feminine styling both on slopes and in lodge environments.
Backcountry Ski Touring: Women's snow jackets deliver lightweight weather protection during ski touring and splitboard adventures where packability and breathability are critical. The advanced materials shed wind and snow during exposed ridge travel while allowing moisture transfer during strenuous uphills and technical descents in variable snow conditions.
Off-Piste and Powder Skiing: Women's ski jackets excel during deep powder days and off-piste adventures where reliable weather protection and durability withstand tree skiing and variable terrain. The robust construction handles contact with branches and rocks while waterproof materials keep you dry during long days in fresh snow and changing weather patterns.
Care Instructions for Ski Jackets
Women's ski jackets require specific maintenance to preserve waterproof performance and extend their lifespan through multiple ski seasons. Regular cleaning removes salt, dirt, and body oils that can compromise breathability and DWR treatments, while proper storage prevents damage during off-season months.
