Women's Hiking Jackets

Windproof jacket or waterproof jacket?

A women's hiking jacket protects you from the elements, depending on the weather. A lightweight windproof jacket blocks the wind on dry days and packs away into a pocket; a waterproof jacket, with its membrane, keeps you dry in the rain and up in the mountains. Both work best when breathable, so you don't end up damp from your own sweat. The choice is yours, depending on where you're headed.

Staying dry and breathing easy

The balance between waterproofing and breathability is what makes a jacket good. A membrane, taped seams and ventilation keep the water out while letting sweat escape when you're working hard. An adjustable hood and cuffs round off the protection when the weather turns.

A cut designed for women

A women's jacket is cut to suit the female shape, for ease of movement and comfort, without being baggy or tight. It fits neatly into your layering system, worn over a women's fleece jacket or a down jacket when it's cold. See the whole hiking jacket range.

Choosing the right jacket

Start with how you'll use it: dry, windy days call for a lightweight windproof jacket; rain and mountains call for a breathable waterproof. Check the breathability, the fit and the hood. You'll also find men's hiking jackets, so everyone's kitted out.
