Choosing the Right Jacket for You: Women's 2026/27

27

Since 2008, we've made a name for ourselves as the brand that brings reliability to new levels, ensuring that every piece of gear we make is packed with the features you want and the durable protection you need for every kind of 'pow day' you might find up on the mountain.

If good times are what you're after, look no further than our women's ski and snowboard jackets to get you there.

Your Women's TREW Jacket Options

Our award-winning bestseller: the Stella Jacket

Rugged, functional, and stylish: that’s the sweet spot we aim for with our gear, and our women’s jacket lineup is no exception. Meet the Stella Jacket, our original women’s jacket first introduced in 2013 and still earning its devoted following. We’ve refined it season after season, with realtime input from the people who wear it - customers and professionals alike - to make it the jacket it is today. With a feature-packed design and bold, beautiful colors, the Stella is built for fun-packed days on snow and beyond.

What makes the Stella Jacket even more special is it's commitment to the very mountains it loves to explore. Made from 100% recycled materials and boasting improved durability and all-day comfort, we're so excited to see our flagship jacket grow even more with our brand values - blending our love for quality gear + sustainability.

The verdict: The Stella Jacket screams high performance and unrivaled function for those backcountry-touring, resort-lapping badass babes out there. With well-placed pit zips, bombproof construction, and thoughtful storage options for everything you need (plus that second breakfast burrito you’ve been savoring since 6am), we held nothing back in designing this quiver-killer. New for 2026/27, we've leveled it up even more with a new 3-layer PRIMO 30/30 zonal fabrication that can stand up to even the worst elements. All of this may be why the Stella has racked up so many wards and accolades for this season.

P.S. not a traditional straight size? We've got you. Our Stella Jacket comes in Plus sizing, 1X through 4X. 

The minimalist: the all-new Vento Jacket

On the other end of the lineup, we've got our new Vento Jacket. Simple yet far from basic, the Vento is a bit of a renegade and proof that sometimes less is more. Where the Stella Jacket brings the heat and offers every bell, whistle, and pocket you could ever think of, the Vento takes a step back to consider, "what do I really need to have the most fun possible?".

As it turns out, you can make any day a great one with just the essentials. A burly 3-layer construction, 20k/20k waterproof breathable membrane, and clean lines for a timeless look, the Vento is our go-to kit for when the weather gets weird but we're heading out anyway. We've taken to calling the Vento Jacket (and the Cascade Collection as a whole) our minimalist workhorse, but let us be clear: there's nothing marginal about this kit, no skimping or shortcuts taken. 

You've been asking for a budget-friendly shell built for chairlift laps, storm days and the parking lot after....and we heard you! First chair to last call, the Vento Jacket is built to withstand it all and keep the good times rolling. Fewer frills, same TREW; everything you need for a full day out and nothing you'll pay for twice. Good gear. Good times. Simple as that.

While we could talk gear for days, let's dive into the side-by-side comparison and show you just what makes these jacket designs shine.

Finding the right size and fit for you

While we wish all jackets could come straight from the pages of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, let's be realistic: every woman's body is beautifully unique, and to design and create snow gear that fits every single lady out there is a lofty goal. Nevertheless, we aim to please and continue to put considerable time and thought into designing gear that suits the needs and desires of our customers. 

Make sure to check out our sizing guides, located on each individual product page, to see what our recommended sizing looks like for your body measurements. Our sizing guides work approximately 99% of the time and are a great place to start -- plus, we offer easy exchanges so if you do end up needing a smaller or larger size, it's a complete breeze. 

Women's Jacket-Picking Hot Tips from TREW

All of our jackets are sized to allow for plentiful layering underneath, so when choosing your size you will not need to size up if you plan to layer. In a similar vein, size down if you are looking for a slimmer fit or you aren't looking to layer at all. 

The Vento will run a bit larger than the Stella. This was the intention, as the Vento was meant to have a more relaxed style, aiming for that semi-baggy fit. But if you are comparing the two styles for a similar fit, the Stella will run smaller. 

Any jacket can work for you! In addition to the above female-specific jackets, we do also have our line of men's jackets that make for great options for women as well, although if you go this route you should consider sizing down at least one size.

Looking for a bit more guidance?

No worries, we're here for you. 

Take our Fitted & Kitted Quiz to find the right jacket or complete snow kit for you.

And if you already know what product you want, but would like some sizing help, use our Sizing Form to get a custom size recommendation from our resident gear wizards, Andrew and Jordan.

We also offer easy returns and exchanges, so if you order the wrong size or want to change styles it's no big deal to swap out. See our Returns + Exchanges page here for more info.
