The North Face Women's Descendit Ski Jacket
Stay warm, dry, and comfortable on the mountain with The North Face Women's Descendit Ski Jacket. Designed for skiing, snowboarding, and cold-weather adventures, this insulated ski jacket combines dependable waterproof protection with a streamlined, flattering fit. Featuring The North Face's DRYVENT 2L technology, the Descendit Jacket provides breathable, seam-sealed protection against snow, wind, and moisture, helping you stay comfortable from the first chairlift to the final run.
HEATSEEKER synthetic insulation delivers lightweight warmth without unnecessary bulk, with 80g insulation in the body and 60g in the hood and sleeves. The recycled polyester shell features a non-PFC durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, while underarm ventilation helps release excess heat during active runs. An adjustable, helmet-compatible hood provides additional protection when winter conditions change.
Built with practical mountain-ready details, the Descendit Ski Jacket includes a snap-down powder skirt, adjustable cuffs, and multiple secure pockets for storing essentials. A dedicated wrist pocket with an integrated goggle wipe keeps your gear close at hand, while an internal hem adjustment helps seal out cold air. Whether you're carving groomers or exploring fresh powder, this versatile women's ski jacket delivers reliable performance and comfort throughout the winter season.
