Women's Rain Jacket at Arc'teryx

Arc'teryx offers a range of GORE-TEX waterproof jackets for women, designed to provide superior protection against rain, wind, and snow. These jackets feature a breathable GORE-TEX membrane laminated to durable face fabrics, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during outdoor activities.

The Alpha SV is our iconic women's rain jacket, built for extreme mountain conditions. It utilises a rugged GORE-TEX fabric that withstands repeated use in harsh environments. For versatile performance across various activities and seasons, the Beta GORE-TEX collection offers excellent protection and adaptability.

Our ultralight GORE-TEX options include the Norvan trail running shell and the Beta SL, both providing waterproof protection in a compact, lightweight package. These jackets are ideal for fast-paced activities where weight and packability are crucial.

High Performance Waterproof Jackets

Arc'teryx women's waterproof jackets utilise advanced GORE-TEX technology to deliver superior weather protection. The GORE-TEX membrane is laminated to durable face fabrics, creating a barrier that prevents rain and snow penetration while allowing moisture vapour to escape. This construction ensures you stay dry from external elements and comfortable from internal perspiration during active pursuits.

Choosing the Right Women's Rain Jacket

When selecting a rain jacket, consider the primary activities and weather conditions you'll encounter. For heavy rain or snow, opt for a GORE-TEX waterproof jacket that provides complete protection. If you need protection from wind and light precipitation during high-output activities, a softshell jacket might be more suitable. Our women's softshell jackets are designed to provide protection from light rain and wind while allowing for unrestricted movement.

Pair your rain jacket with quality hiking shoes for complete weather protection on the trail. For lighter conditions, consider our windbreaker jackets that offer excellent wind resistance and packability.

How to Care for Your Waterproof Rain Jackets

Proper care extends the life of your women's waterproof jacket and maintains its performance. For GORE-TEX jackets, regular cleaning with a technical wash helps preserve the waterproof membrane. After washing, reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating by tumble drying on low heat or ironing on a low setting.

Softshell jackets generally require less maintenance but benefit from occasional washing to remove dirt and oils that can affect breathability. Always check the care label for specific instructions, as different fabrics and technologies may have unique care requirements.
