Women's Snow Jackets

What should you look for when choosing a women's snow jacket?

The obvious answer to this is warmth. Whether you're thundering down the slopes on your skis or just shuffling along on a more easy-going alpine trek, staying protected from sub-zero temperatures is vital. You need an insulated jacket, usually lined with synthetic fill and engineered with seam-sealed construction, to keep snow, ice, water and wind on the outside where it belongs. Other features to look for in a ski jacket include hem and wrist cuff adjusters for a personal fit that helps trap body heat, a hood for protecting your head and ears, and a durable outer shell fabric that is waterproof and breathable for long-lasting wear.

What women's jackets can you wear skiing & snowboarding?

All styles in our range of snow jackets for women are technically-engineered to meet the tougher weather conditions and physical demands of skiing and snowboarding. They are constructed from durable fabric shells that are waterproof, breathable and house synthetic fill insulation to keep you warm and dry on the slopes. For additional protection and a more personalised fit, they have snow skirts, adjustable hems and wrist cuffs, and ninja cuffs. Convenient extras like ski pass pockets and helmet-compatible hoods have also been included to make these women's ski jackets perfect for snow-filled adventures.

What materials are snow jackets made of?

Like all of our apparel, our snow jackets for women are constructed with the highest quality materials to ensure high performance and protection, so you can focus on the adventure in front of you. Our ski jacket fill is synthetic insulation, a reliable and proven insulative material used globally. For the outer shell fabric, which needs to be robust and hard-wearing, we use waterproof yet highly breathable nylons and polyesters to keep snow, ice, wind and water from getting inside. With a Mountain Designs insulated jacket, you can step outside into the snow with total confidence knowing that you're completely protected from the elements, and are going to be comfortable all day long.

What women's snow jackets are the warmest?

An insulated jacket will deliver the warmest protection you can ask for in a winter jacket. Our range of Mountain Designs snow jackets for women uses high quality synthetic fill insulation to keep you warm, as well as durable, waterproof outer shells that prevent snow, ice, wind and water from penetrating through to the inside. You can further personalise your fit, and maximise your protection, with the adjustable hem, ninja cuffs, hood and snow skirt. Once you layer a ski jacket over the top of thermals and your mid-layer garment (maybe a fleece top or down vest), you will be toasty warm and ready to head outside into snowfall.

Which women's snow jackets are waterproof?

You're not going to stay out on the slopes for very long if the dampness of the snow and ice gets through to your body and thermals layer. This is uncomfortable and, if left for prolonged periods, dangerous for your health. Our snow jackets for women are designed with highly durable, waterproof outer shells to prevent this from happening, allowing you to concentrate on your skiing, snowboarding or alpine trekking adventure. We also apply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which stops the outer fabric from becoming saturated and losing its breathability. You want to stop snow and ice from getting in, but you also want your insulated jacket to be breathable in order to manage perspiration out.

Which women's snow jackets are insulated?

Our snow jackets for women are all insulated with high quality synthetic fill to keep you warm and comfortable, whether you're casually trekking through alpine country or shredding it up with your snowboard. Along with this insulation, our women's ski jackets have adjustable hems, ninja cuffs, snow skirts and hoods to further trap body heat and ensure ongoing warmth and comfort until your day is done and you head back to the lodge. If you face extreme conditions, make sure you've layered properly before heading out, with thermals and a mid-layer underneath your insulated jacket being the most effective way to combat freezing temperatures.

What colours and sizes are women's snow jackets available in?

We don't compromise on the design and performance of our gear, especially when it comes to the harsher temperatures and icy winds of alpine adventures, and neither should you. When you plan your next ski trip, look to our range of winter jackets for women for a comprehensive selection of purpose-made, contemporary styles engineered with technical features to enhance your escape. Choose your snow jacket in one of our charcoal, blue or print colours, in sizes ranging from 8 to 18.
