Best Women’s Snowboarding Jackets 2022-2023

To make this list more useful I have broken this list down into two sections:

• The Top 5 Women’s Insulated Snowboarding Jackets; and
• The Top 5 Women’s Non-Insulated Snowboarding Jackets

This list has been updated for the 2022-23 season.

Note that this list used to include top 5 between $250 and $350 and top 5 under $250, but those are now on a separate page here. 

O.k. let’s get into the lists.

If you’re someone who runs cold – or if you tend to ride in cold conditions, then these jackets are probably for you. Also for anyone who wants their jacket to do the insulating and doesn’t want to worry too much about layering underneath.

Note: These are the top jackets (assessed for waterproofing, breathability and functionality) that also have insulation – but the amount of or the type of insulation hasn’t been assessed.

Price is not taken into account for this except that anything over $500 wasn’t considered.

Of the 77 women's insulated jackets that I rated:

If you prefer your jacket to be a shell – something that maximizes focus on waterproofing and being breathable and is lighter than an insulated jacket– and you want to be able to do your own insulating with layers and you can use your jacket for spring/warm weather riding as well, without over-heating, then these might be more your style.

This wasn’t as easy a task as I thought it would be. It seems that a majority of women’s snowboarding jackets have some sort of insulation included. But I did find 23 non-insulated jackets, which was 7 more than last year, so they are possibly becomeing more common. These were the highest rated of those.

Of the 23 non-insulated jackets that I rated:

Note: The following would have also made this list, but are already included in the "between $250 and $300" list below:

• Burton Gore-Tex Powline
• Volcom Aris Gore-Tex

I hope this list has given you some options for your next or first snowboarding jacket – depending on your needs.
