Explore Women's Hiking Jackets

Conditions can change quickly on a hike, from a chilly start to a warm climb or a windy summit. Our women's hiking jackets are designed to help you adapt, whether you need extra warmth, more ventilation or a layer you can pack away.

Women's Lightweight Hiking Jacket Cut for Movement

A women's lightweight hiking jacket should fit the way you move, not the way a scaled-down men's block does. We use women's-specific patterns, with room through the hip and shoulders and sleeves that stay put under a pack strap and do not ride up when you reach. The body stays slim enough to slide under a women's shell jacket when the weather turns.

Layering a Women's Hiking Jacket

Hikes rarely hold one temperature. Start with a base layer, add a women's hiking fleece for the cold car park, then peel it off as you warm up and let the jacket handle the breeze. Our layering guide walks through how the pieces work together.

Which Women's Hiking Jacket Should I Choose?

A women's softshell jacket is the all-rounder for dry, breezy days and scrubby tracks, breathing as hard as you do while it turns wind and drizzle. When the forecast turns wet, move to a women's waterproof hiking jacket. Keep any warm layer for the stops, not the slog.

Women's Hiking Jacket FAQs

What should I wear hiking?

Think in three layers: a wicking base layer, a mid layer such as fleece, and a hiking jacket that handles wind and weather. Add women's hiking pants that stretch and dry quickly, a hat for sun or cold, and footwear broken in before the walk.

Is a softshell with a fleece lining and a hood good for hiking?

Yes, on cool, dry and breezy days. The lining adds warmth and the softshell face blocks wind. It runs warm, so it suits slow climbs and cold mornings better than steep, sweaty ascents, and it is not the jacket to rely on in steady rain.

Can I wear a down or puffer jacket for hiking?

Wear it at rest stops, summits and camp rather than on the climb. Down loses warmth when it takes on sweat or rain, so keep a women's down jacket for standing still and let a lighter layer do the moving.

How should a women's hiking jacket fit?

The shoulders should sit square, your arms should lift overhead without the hem rising, and there should be room for a mid layer underneath. If you can, try it on with a loaded pack, since straps change how a jacket sits across the chest and back.
