What Is a Women’s Waterproof Jacket from Arc’teryx?

Arc'teryx women’s waterproof jackets are designed to keep you dry and comfortable in various weather conditions. These jackets incorporate advanced technologies and materials to provide superior protection against rain, snow, and wind. 

 

Features of Women's Waterproof Jackets

Waterproof Materials

  • GORE-TEX fabric — a waterproof and windproof membrane designed to block rain while allowing moisture vapour to escape.

Seam & Weather Sealing

  • Fully taped seams — sealed stitching that helps prevent water from entering through seam lines.

Fit, Coverage & Storage

  • Adjustable hoods — provide additional weather protection and a customizable fit.
  • Multiple pockets — allow for secure, accessible storage of essentials.

Waterproof vs Water-Resistant Jackets: What’s the Difference?

Waterproof Jackets

  • Fully block water penetration
  • Use sealed seams and waterproof membranes (e.g., GORE-TEX)
  • Designed for heavy rain, snow, and prolonged exposure

Water-Resistant Jackets

  • Protect against light rain and moisture
  • Typically rely on DWR treatments without waterproof membranes
  • Best for mild conditions and short exposure

 

Best Activities to Wear a Waterproof Jacket

Hiking & Trekking

  • Lightweight construction
  • Packable for easy storage
  • High breathability for sustained movement

Alpine Climbing

  • Durable face fabrics for abrasion resistance
  • Helmet-compatible hoods
  • Harness-compatible lengths

For routes that demand durable layering, pair your shell with warm mid-layers like women’s fleece jackets or cold-weather insulation such as women’s puffer jackets.

Skiing & Snowboarding

  • Insulated waterproof construction
  • Powder skirts for snow protection
  • Multiple pockets for gear storage

If you’re building a full winter kit, explore women’s ski & snowboard jackets and match them with women’s ski & snowboard pants.

Urban & Everyday Wear

  • Clean, versatile silhouettes
  • Easy layering over everyday clothing
  • Suitable for transitioning between outdoor and indoor environments

For your outdoor adventures, don’t forget to check out our women’s trail running shoes and a hiking backpack for carrying extra layers.

 

FAQs About Women’s Waterproof Jackets

What makes a jacket fully waterproof?

A fully waterproof jacket uses a waterproof membrane, sealed seams, and durable construction to help prevent water from entering, including during prolonged exposure to rain or snow.

Is GORE-TEX better than water-resistant fabric?

GORE-TEX is designed for complete waterproof protection with breathability, while water-resistant fabrics are intended for light moisture and short-term exposure.

Are Arc’teryx women’s waterproof jackets suitable for heavy rain?

Yes. Arc’teryx women’s waterproof jackets are built with waterproof membranes and sealed construction to perform in heavy rain and wet conditions.

Should a waterproof jacket be worn on its own?

Waterproof jackets provide weather protection but are not designed as insulation layers. In cold conditions, they are intended to be layered over insulating garments.
