Women's waterproof jackets keep rain out with a breathable membrane and taped seams, so you stay dry on long walks and wet commutes. The Patagonia Torrentshell 3L and The North Face Quest are easy everyday rain jackets. If you need a women's waterproof jacket for hillwalking and wilder weather, Gore-Tex jackets like the Rab Kangri and Arc'teryx Beta are built for it.
Down jackets give you a lot of heat for very little weight. The Rab Microlight Alpine is a favourite because it packs small and still keeps you warm on cold winter days. Synthetic insulated jackets hold their warmth when they get damp, which suits wet British winters.
When it's properly cold, longer women's coats and parkas are perfect to cover your hips and thighs. They're warm enough for winter walks, school runs and standing around outside.
If you want one jacket for autumn, winter and spring, a 3-in-1 pairs a waterproof outer with a zip-in insulated layer that you can wear together or apart. Windproof jackets, softshells and gilets cover the dry, breezy days in between.
Fits vary between brands, so check the size guide and size up if you plan to wear a thick fleece underneath. Shop our jackets for women and find a waterproof, down jacket or parka that suits your winter.
