A new design from Arcteryx, build specifically for women, the Arcteryx Venta SV Jacket for Women is the most windproof, water resistant softshell on the market. Built with WINDSTOPPER a micro fleece backer, the wind doesn't have a chance, but the Venta SV retains its breathability and has pit zips when extra ventilation is needed. When the temperatures drop, the Venta SV is a great hardshell alternative.
Best Womens Softshell
The microfleece backer feels so soft. The helmet compatible hood is perfect for a stormy, windy ski day. Pit zips are easy to reach. All of the zippers seem really solid. Little details, like the finishing tape on the seams, are indicative of the Arc'teryx quality.
Fantastic shell jacket for skiing
I love this jacket. I am 5'6" and 115 lbs and got the size S. It fits perfectly; can still layer fleece etc. It has a lot of nice features (pit zips, adjustable hood, pockets).
