Women’s Outdoor Clothing

Women’s Outdoor Clothing at Arc’teryx

Women’s outdoor clothing works as a system you adjust through the day, with a layer against your skin, warmth you add or shed and protection for the afternoon the weather turns. Our women’s outdoor apparel covers each of those jobs, and the sections below look at how to layer it, how it should fit and how to look after it.

How do I layer women’s outdoor clothing for changeable weather?

Good women’s outdoor clothing starts with a first layer you barely notice, such as the Taema Thermal Crew Neck Shirt, which has UPF 40 sun protection and thumb loops that hold the sleeves in place. Add the Atom Hoody, which stays warm even when wet, and finish with the Beta Jacket, whose StormHood adjusts for coverage without cutting into your line of sight. Extend the system with our women’s puffer jackets and women’s rain jacket range, and use the layering guide to see how the pieces fit together.

How should women’s outdoor apparel fit so it moves with you?

Fit changes from piece to piece in women’s outdoor apparel, and the fit guide on each product page sorts styles into next to skin, trim, regular and relaxed. The Aestas Pullover Hoody is a relaxed fit made for layering, the Gamma Jacket is a regular fit with room for light layers, and the Nia Pant has a relaxed barrel leg with stretch for clambering. To compare more leg shapes, see our women’s hiking pants.

How do I wash and repair women’s outdoor clothing?

Women’s outdoor clothing lasts longer when you look after it. Arc’teryx ReBIRD WASH gives your gear a technical refresh, with home wash guides and in-store services at select stores, and ReBIRD REPAIR restores gear after rips, scuffs or damage for as long as it is repairable. Some repairs may incur a fee, though most are covered under the limited warranty. Our product care page explains both services.

For women’s outdoor clothing with secure pockets, start with the Sonii Utility Jacket, which has six easy-access pockets and does the work of a daypack, and the Sonii Utility Vest, which adds a pass-through tunnel to store an extra layer. The Leutia Pant, which Arc’teryx calls scramble-proof and bramble-proof, has cargo pockets for gels, SPF and a multi-tool. More trail-ready pieces sit in our women’s hiking apparel.

Does Arc’teryx make plus size women’s outdoor clothing?

Size ranges for women’s outdoor clothing vary by style. Women’s sizes on most styles run from XXS to XXL, and numeric pant sizes go up to US 16.
