Best Overall Women’s Winter Jacket

The Rab Women’s Deep Cover Down Parka ($295) delivers a high level of warmth while being super cozy and a bit roomy with a flattering feminine-leaning touch. Such a mix of high-grade materials made us assume the price would be higher, but this jacket sits at a reasonable $295.

With so many excellent women’s winter jackets, the Deep Cover Down Parka jumped to the top of our list for the overall comfort and ergonomic fit that’s spacious enough for wearing our favorite thicker winter sweaters beneath. We always felt warm pulling this windproof piece on over a long sleeve shirt in blustery conditions but could easily add midlayers beneath. The shoulders, chest, and bottom hem are all spacious enough, and the fabric offers a bit of stretch. We never felt restricted.

We also love the tall down-filled collar, which is a stylish accent when we opt to remove the hood (that’s also insulated). Over our hands, the well-designed stretchy interior gaiters with thumbholes are a nice attribute that help block wind, snow, and cold. Sometimes wrist gaiters can feel too tight in winter jackets — not these.

Dressed with a hydrophobic treatment, the down fill retains its loft even when the conditions are damp and wet. Furthermore, 100% of the down, 20-denier liner, and 50-denier exterior fabric is recycled — helping to keep waste out of the landfill.

The exterior face of this jacket is treated with fluorocarbon-free DWR that prevents moisture from being absorbed by the garment but is free of toxic chemicals. So we can feel good about the eco-friendliness of this jacket in addition to liking the way it feels to wear. Overall, this jacket is our pick for the best winter jacket for women.
