How to choose your women's ski jacket in the sales?
Waterproofing and breathability
Two technical ratings help you compare women's ski jackets.
Waterproofing is measured in millimetres (mm). This is the height of a water column the fabric can withstand before letting moisture through. In practice:
- Less than 10,000 mm: occasional use, dry or slightly cloudy weather
- Between 10,000 and 20,000 mm: regular piste use, changeable weather
- 20,000 mm and above: tough conditions, off-piste, heavy snow or rain
Breathability is measured in g/m²/24h. This shows how much water vapour the fabric lets escape in 24 hours. The higher the rating, the better the jacket wicks away sweat. A jacket with 10,000 g/m²/24h is suitable for occasional skiers. Over 20,000 g/m²/24h is considered technical, ideal for intense activity.
Type of insulation
The insulation of your women's ski jacket depends on your activity and how much you feel the cold.
- Softshell jacket: flexible, stretchy, slightly water-repellent. Great for active skiers or mild days. Not a substitute for a waterproof jacket in bad weather
- Hardshell jacket: waterproof membrane with no built-in insulation. Worn over a warm mid-layer. The most versatile option for changing temperatures
- Insulated jacket: features an insulating material, Primaloft® (synthetic, keeps its properties even when wet) or down (lightweight and compressible, but less effective when wet). Ideal for those who feel the cold or for high-altitude resorts
- 3-in-1 system: a waterproof jacket with a removable inner layer (fleece or down jacket). Both parts can be worn together or separately. A versatile choice for skiers wanting one jacket for multiple uses

Women's ski jacket sale: our tips before you buy
Choosing the right size
Pick your ski jacket with the layers you plan to wear underneath in mind. Here's how:
- Order with your usual base and mid layers in mind
- Check the chest measurement in each brand's size guide: fits vary between brands
- If in doubt, size up: a jacket that's too tight at the shoulders restricts movement on the slopes
- Raise your arms above your head: the jacket shouldn't ride up or pull at the back
Details that make a difference
Beyond the membrane and insulation, certain features really improve comfort on the slopes:
- Helmet-compatible hood: adjusts to fit over your ski helmet without leaving gaps
- Snow skirt: an elastic band inside the jacket that attaches to your trousers to keep snow out if you fall
- Trousers attachment system: clips or press studs that connect the jacket to your trousers to stop it riding up
- Adjustable cuffs: close the gap between jacket and glove to block out cold and snow at the wrist
- Inner pockets: handy for storing your phone, lift pass or snack without opening your jacket every run
- Ventilation zips: underarm zips to release heat on the lift or when hiking
