Women’s Mountain Bike Jackets
Storms roll in. Ridges turn cold. Our women’s MTB jackets are built to disappear under pressure—quiet, durable shells that block wind and rain, breathe on the climb, and stash small when the sun pops. Function first, all ride long.
Choose Your Jacket
Wind jacket: ultralight barrier for ridge lines and long descents; vents fast and packs to a pocket.
Waterproof shell: seam‑sealed, breathable protection for wet trails and mud—see Women’s Wet Weather for full storm coverage.
Softshell / hybrid: wind‑blocking fronts with breathable backs and underarm venting for tempo trail days.
Insulated: low‑bulk warmth for freezing starts and shuttle laps; layer over a wicking mid.
Trail‑Ready Details
Articulated sleeves that track your reach. Drop tails to seal the spray. Helmet‑friendly hoods that keep vision clear. DWR finishes to shrug off wet brush. Two‑way or vented zips to dump heat in seconds.
Temperature & Weather Guide
60–70°F: wind jacket for chill control on exposed sections.
45–60°F: softshell or hybrid piece; open vents on climbs, close for descents.
30–45°F: insulated mid + wind or waterproof shell, depending on conditions.
Below 30°F: insulated jacket over thermal layers; manage sweat with baselayers.
Wet or windy? Bump up one level and add seam‑sealed protection from Women’s Wet Weather.
Layer Like a System
Base: start with moisture‑moving baselayers matched to effort.
Mid: add breathable MTB jerseys for warmth and on‑body storage.
Bottoms: pair with MTB shorts & pants; finish the seal with MTB gloves.
Fit & Sizing — Dial It In
Jackets should skim the body with room for a jersey and, if needed, soft pads. Sleeves cover the reach, hems stay put in the attack position, and the hood fits clean under or over a trail lid. Use our Size & Fit Guide to lock your size.
FAQ
Windproof vs. waterproof for MTB?
Wind shells are perfect for cool, dry days and big elevation swings. If rain or spray is on the menu, go waterproof and vent as you climb.
Hood over the helmet?
Some riders prefer over‑helmet for full seal in storms; under‑helmet fits are lower‑bulk and stay put at speed—choose based on your local weather.
How do I pack it?
Most wind shells stuff into their own pocket; stash in a hip pack or rear pocket for quick changes.
