Our women’s waterproof jackets cover light packable layers for showery hikes, hooded jackets that adjust to the weather and everyday jackets for the city. Weight, hood design and fit are what set them apart, so choose by the day you are dressing for. If you want a jacket built around wet-weather wear, see our women’s rain jackets.

Which lightweight women’s waterproof jackets pack small?

The Beta SL is our lightest Beta, a lightweight waterproof jacket with pit zippers for easy venting, a helmet-compatible StormHood and a fitted cut. The Alpha SL Anorak is a light, packable layer with a three-quarter zip that reduces weight and bulk. The Naya Cropped has a next-to-skin backer engineered for breathability in humid summer storms. Add waterproof hiking pants when the rain is steady.

Which women’s waterproof jackets have an adjustable hood?

The Beta Jacket is a women’s waterproof jacket with a low-profile StormHood and a single-pull adjuster that does not restrict vision. The Beta AR has a helmet-compatible DropHood with internal cordlocks for adjustability, and the Emaris Relaxed pairs an adjustable, helmet-compatible StormHood with a relaxed, layer-friendly cut. Try each hood on with the helmet or cap you wear, and see our waterproof hiking jackets for trail-specific options.

The Ifora is a structured, oversized-fit waterproof jacket made for rainy city streets, with an adjustable full-coverage hood and a vent across the back, protected by a storm flap.

Women’s Waterproof Jacket FAQs

Which women’s waterproof jacket suits Australian weather?

The right women’s waterproof jacket depends where you wear it. A light jacket such as the Beta SL suits showery trail days, and the Naya Cropped is built for humid summer storms. For town, the Ifora is made for rainy city streets, with an adjustable full-coverage hood. Compare the full range of women’s GORE-TEX jackets.

Is water-resistant the same as waterproof in a women’s jacket?

No. A water-resistant jacket sheds light rain for a while and then lets water through, while a waterproof jacket has a membrane that blocks it completely. On our product pages, check the Technical features list for Waterproof. A DWR finish on the face fabric makes water bead, and our care and repair hub links to the wash guides that keep it working.

Do women’s waterproof jackets come in a longer length?

The Beta Coat is a thigh-length waterproof jacket for hiking and trail use, with a longer back hem for extra coverage and a two-way front zip that gives you freedom of stride under a pack hip belt. It covers more than the cropped Naya or Altira. To compare other cuts, browse our women’s shell jackets.

Can I run in a women’s waterproof jacket?

Yes, if you choose a waterproof jacket built for it. The Norvan is an ultralight jacket designed for mountain and trail running in wet conditions, with vents under the arms, a stowable zippered hip pocket and reflective branding for low light. Its packable design makes it easy to carry when the rain clears.
