Outdoor women's: the piece that’s missing from your layers
The women's outdoor section is organised here by type of clothing: jackets and coats, tops, sweatshirts, trousers, shorts, footwear, headwear and accessories. Spot the layer that's missing from your outfit, then compare brands from Aigle to Gramicci.
From top to bottom of the outfit
- Coats and jackets and jackets: waterproof Aigle RainPack, sleeveless down jackets, windbreakers.
- Tops and sweatshirts: base layers and warm layers.
- Trousers and shorts: loose cuts for walking.
- Shoes, headwear, and accessories.
Add to rather than replace everything
An outdoor outfit is built layer by layer. If you already have a jacket, you might just be missing a lightweight warm layer or trousers that allow for knee movement.
Gramicci, born from climbing, designs trousers with integrated belts and reinforced inseams, made to lift the leg without restriction.
Which jacket for what weather?
In a downpour, a women's waterproof jacket with an adjustable hood, like the Aigle RainPack, really protects. For the dry wind of a seaside walk, a packable windbreaker is enough.
In cold and dry weather, a sleeveless down jacket keeps the torso warm without restricting the arms, either under a jacket or on its own.
Search differently
If you follow a brand, women's outdoor brands bring them together. The three-layer principle is detailed on the women's outdoor clothing page.
