Just a few years ago, almost all hardshell jackets were stiff, crinkly, and uncomfortable. But now many companies make waterproof hardshells that feel more like softshells. The Flylow Vixen Coat 2.1 falls into that category, and it’s an excellent all-round women’s ski shell.
If you’re looking for a technical women’s ski shell that can be used in the backcountry and the resort, but that doesn’t look all that “techy,” the Strafe Meadow Jacket is worth a good look.
Comfortable? Check. Waterproof? Check. Versatile? Check. Stylish? Check. The Flylow Donna Pant 2.1 ticks a lot of boxes, and is worth a good look if you’re in the market for a women’s ski pant.

The Salomon MTN Explore W is a women-specific AT boot that tours extremely well and offers good support for technical descents (especially if you don’t need the stiffest boot out there).
