Womens Ski & Snowboard Jackets

Ar'teryx women's ski and snow jackers are purposely built for snow sports,  combining waterproof construction with breathable fabrics and a women's-specific fit that allows full range of motion for dynamic skiing and riding.

What are the types of women's snow jackets?

Shell Snow Jackets

Shell jackets are waterproof outer layers designed to be worn over insulating mid-layers, allowing skiers and snowboarders to adjust warmth based on weather conditions and activity intensity. For lighter-weight layering, pair a shell with women’s fleece jackets for warmth that breathes on the climb and dries quickly after high-output runs.

Insulated Snow Jackets

Insulated snow jackets combine a waterproof shell with built-in insulation, providing immediate warmth and simplified layering for consistently cold conditions. These jackets are well suited for resort skiing, cold chairlift rides, and situations where convenience and thermal comfort are prioritised over layering flexibility.

For additional warmth on very cold days or during stops, add a packable women’s puffer jacket to your kit.

Women's Ski Jacket Features and Technology

Women's snow jackets incorporate specialised features engineered for alpine performance and snow sport demands.

• GORE-TEX membranes provide proven waterproof and windproof protection while maintaining breathability during high-output skiing and snowboarding.
• Powder skirts create a secure seal between jacket and pants, preventing snow entry during falls or deep powder conditions.
• Articulated construction enhances freedom of movement, allowing dynamic skiing motions without restriction.

Best Snow Sports for Ski Jackets

Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding

Women's ski jackets provide essential weather protection for resort skiing and snowboarding, where powder skirts prevent snow infiltration and ventilation systems help regulate body temperature during aggressive downhill runs. Tailored fits support a full range of motion while maintaining refined alpine styling on and off the slopes.

Backcountry Ski Touring

Women's snow jackets used for backcountry touring prioritise lightweight construction, packability, and breathability to support long ascents and technical descents. For fast-and-light missions or mild conditions, a women’s windbreaker jacket can be a useful addition to your layering system for climb-focused days.

Off-Piste and Powder Skiing

Women's ski jackets excel in off-piste and powder environments where durability and reliable weather protection are essential. Robust fabrics withstand contact with trees and variable terrain, while waterproof construction keeps you dry during extended days in deep snow.

Care Instructions for Women's Ski Jackets

Women's ski jackets require proper care to maintain waterproof performance and extend their lifespan across multiple winter seasons.

• Regular cleaning removes salt, dirt, and body oils that can reduce breathability and compromise DWR treatments.
• Proper off-season storage helps prevent fabric damage and preserves technical performance for future ski seasons.
