I love the additional features on the jacket (phone string holder, all the pockets etc)."

Women's Embark GORE‑TEX 2L Jacket

For those who refuse to let a storm stop them from hitting the slopes, this waterproof jacket is a must. Made for riding in every condition, it offers full mobility, so you don't feel restricted. Combine it with your fave mid layer and you're good to go with a jacket you can count on to help keep you dry, warm, and even more importantly, looking cute (duh!).

Sidewinder Jacket

Okay, let's be honest—Arc'teryx is a pricey brand, but with that being said, the products don't play around when it comes to quality. This fan-favorite jacket is the perfect blend of distinctive design (peep the unique offset front zipper) and big-mountain performance. It's waterproof, windproof, breathable, and helmet compatible. But what really sets it apart is its relaxed fit and shorter length to prioritize your comfort and freedom of movement to achieve a more casual aesthetic.

• Sizes: XXS-XXL

• Material: N80p-X GORE-TEX Fabric with 3L lo-loft soft shell construction

THE REVIEWS: "I own 4 other Arct'eryx jackets, but this one is by far my favorite!

I use it both as a lifestyle and as a snowboarding shell and it suits all purposes," raves a reviewer.

Moss W Snowboard Jacket

If you're tired of seeing the same plain 'ole colors (although, we love a sleek black look as much as the next person), this ski jacket by Montec comes in sooo many adorable colors. Depending on your riding style, you can choose between an insulation-free shell or an insulated version, but you can rest assured that the special features like a storm guard hood, underarm vents, media pocket, lift pass pocket, and elasticated snow skirt will remain the same.

Alta Puffer Jacket

Rains is known for its lifestyle outwear, and this puffer is one of the brand's signature designs featuring waterproof and breathable fabrics. The elevated puffer is built for winter-ready protection against cold-climates, waterproof protection from light rain, and breathability because there's nothing worse than profusely sweating under your coat.

• Sizes: XS-XXL

• Colors: 6 options

• Material: 100% polyester with polyurethane coating

• Insulation: Performance recycled fiber insulation

THE REVIEWS: "The material is matte so it makes it age appropriate (I’m in my forties), so finding one which didn’t make me look like a teen was important. I’m also short at 5’3 so this was the perfect level of ‘puffiness’ so I don’t look like a pea head," jokes a customer.

Nora Short Puffy Insulated Jacket

Nothing beats feeling good AND looking good. With a flattering cropped silhouette and puffer-style synthetic insulation, this Helly Hansen jacket is as aesthetic as it is toasty. Constructed with water-resistance and breathability in mind, it pretty much checks all the boxes for the skiing fashionista.

Cypress 750 Fill Power Down Recycled Nylon Packable Crop Puffer Jacket

Canada Goose is one of the most well-known brands when it comes to keeping people warm. And if you want to make a statement without compromising on features, well congrats because this oversized quilted jacket has you covered when temps drop. We're talkin' insulation featuring 750-fill-power down (that's very warm and toasty), plenty of pockets, a two-way front-zip closure, and interior shoulder straps for a hands-free carry. Is it a major splurge? Absolutely. But if you're big on winter activities and want to invest in something that'll stand the test of time, this is it.

• Sizes: XS-XL

• Colors: Magenta

• Material: 100% recycled nylon

• Insulation: 750-fill-power down

THE REVIEWS: "I have this jacket in both styles and I will say each one fits different. This exact style runs a little bit smaller than the full cypress puffer, but I believe it’s because of the box shape. I would recommend going up a size and it’s adjustable at the waist. I’m 5’4 170 pounds and live in Michigan, this puffer is perfect for winter here," comments a reviewer.

Cottonwoods GORE-TEX Jacket

Whether you're enjoying a chill day at the ski lodge or intense skiing and snowboarding days, this rugged jacket is one of Cottonwood's best. The updated fit offers more room for layering and its waterproof shell will truly keep you from ending the day drenched in cold water. Plus, it features an insane amount of pockets (we're talking like two on your chest, one on your arm, one inside the jacket, etc.), so you have plenty of places to store everything you need for the slopes.

• Sizes: XS-XXL

• Colors: 5 options

• Material: GORE-TEX, nylon, C6 DWR treatment

THE REVIEWS: "I was looking for a sturdy shell and this is absolutely perfect," writes a reviewer. "Enough room to layer a puffy underneath but not too big or baggy. If you're looking for a durable ski kit, look no further!"

Yuki Anorak Pullover Jacket

An adorable pullover ski jacket has officially entered the chat, and it's giving what it's supposed to give. The oversized, quilted jacket will effortlessly take you from the chalet to the slopes. Use it as a quick layering option when unpredictable weather knocks on the door, and let the Primaloft insulation do the rest.

• Sizes: XS-XL

• Colors: 5 options

• Material: 100% Polyester, Durable Water Repellent Finish

• Insulation: 170 gr, 100% Primaloft® Postconsumer Recycled Polyester

THE REVIEWS: "Absolutely love this jacket and highly recommend it. I ordered a medium which I normally wear but it’s a little roomy so you may want to size down. The quality is outstanding, and the customer service is beyond measure", comments a customer.

Women's Stoney HS Thermo Jacket

If you forget you're even outside in below freezing temps, perfect! That's exactly what this jacket is meant to do. The waterproof, windproof, and breathable shell is made to keep snow, rain, and wind from getting inside. The added insulation adds much-needed warmth, but if you get hot easily (same), no worries because there's underarm ventilation to keep you from feeling like you just ran a marathon in the middle of summer.

• Colors: 6 options

• Material: 88% Polyamide, 12% Elastane
