Shell jackets for women – waterproof and breathable
A shell jacket is your outer layer. It keeps out rain, wind and snow but lets moisture out from the inside, so you stay dry even when you are moving. All our shell jackets are PFAS-free.
Wear the shell jacket over a fleece mid-layer when it is cold, or over just a base layer when you are active. For rainy days in the city and on the trail, a lighter rain jacket works well, and for skiing there are ski jackets.
What do waterproof and breathable mean?
A waterproof fabric keeps water out, and a breathable fabric lets moisture from your body escape. Waterproofness is often given as a water column in millimetres and breathability in grams per square metre per day. The values for each jacket are on its product page.
How do I care for my shell jacket?
Wash it regularly according to the care label, since dirt reduces both breathability and water repellency. Read our guide to washing and reproofing outdoor clothing.
