Columbia is THE hiking specialist. When it comes to creating great hiking jackets to keep you warm and dry on your adventures, we consider ourselves experts. Our hiking jacket womens collection is full of a variety of models depending on the activity and the climate you’re tackling. You’ll find the jackets in a wide range of colours and designs, so that you can find an ideal jacket for your outdoor quest and personal style.

In comparison with our more urban womens parka coat options, our jackets are specifically designed for you to stay active on your nature quest. A parka is perfect for staying toasty in the city, but a hiking jacket is designed to keep you warm and comfy during sport activities.

Not quite ready to sacrifice your fashion sense between the city and nature? Not a problem! Our beautiful collection of jackets (alongside our selection of hiking clothes) will ensure that you can look your best, regardless of whether you’re on the streets or in the mountains. And with our reflective and waterproof technologies, we know you’ll stay warm and comfortable in your jacket - regardless of the venue.

The jacket you wear should match the type of hiking you plan to do. You want to make sure you’re perfectly prepared to face whatever challenges nature throws your way. Which is why we’ve put together a quick guide on when to use our jackets:

• If you’re going trekking, a softshell women's jacket is the perfect hiking companion to keep you warm and flexible as you hit the trail. Softshell jackets provide you with insulation, light water resistance and wind protection. They are fantastic for longer days outside in the elements, as they’re comfortable against the skin and have a soft, stretch fit.
• Another epic jacket category is our iconic womens 3 in 1 jacket. The Columbia interchange jackets can be worn three ways, as it comes with an inner fleece layer and a waterproof outer shell jacket. This means you can wear the fleece during mild and dry weather, the outer jacket during mild and wet weather, or both when the climate is cold and wet. The price benefit ratio of this product ensures that you get your money’s worth.
• Imagine you’re going climbing to breathe in the wonderfully crisp and dry mountain air. The inner fleece layer will be there to help you stay warm on the mountain top.
• Or perhaps you’re heading on a bike adventure with friends tomorrow, but the forecast predicts a drizzle all day long. The waterproof outer hardshell will keep you nice and dry on the road, no matter the rain showers you may encounter.
• When you’re going hiking on the coldest winter days, zip the fleece and outer shell together, and you’ve got an ideal hiking companion. Keep the moisture and the cold out and the warmth in. Throw it over a hoodie during extra cold days, and you’re ready for any icy adventure.

Of course, these are just a few ideas for coordinating your outfits with our highly versatile hiking jackets. Mix and match their function and style as you see fit—the choice is yours!

How do our jackets and coats ensure that you stay warm and dry? Our advanced thermal-reflective technology and waterproof technology make sure your jacket is insulated, waterproof and lightweight. That also means that your jacket is compressible, ultra light, and packable, allowing you to transport or store it with ease. No one wants to carry around a bulky set of coats - especially when hiking and storage space is sparse.

To keep you warm and cosy when the temperatures dip, our Omni-Heat™ technology retains heat. The tech includes Omni-Heat™ Reflective, Omni-Heat™ 3D, Omni-Heat™ Black Dot and Omni-Heat™ Infinity. These reflect body heat by means of tiny silver dots, silver reflectors, black dots and gold dots.

At the same time, we know that only heat is not enough for real hiking enthusiasts. If your jacket is stuffy and not breathable, you won’t be able to enjoy your hike for very long. That’s why our jackets are made from fabrics with high breathability. They have moisture-wicking abilities that let moisture and excess heat escape, so you can stay dry on the inside and out. To increase next-to-skin comfort, small pods of soft fibre cause a pleasant air gap to be created between your body and the fabric. We wanted to make sure you weren’t just warm but also comfortable in your adventures.

Our waterproof technologies keep you protected from the rain. Omni-Tech™ means that your womens waterproof jacket is equipped with layers of waterproof protection.

Outdry™ Extreme further equips your jacket with an impenetrable external membrane and completely sealed seams. Just zip up your jacket and your pockets to keep yourself and the content of your pockets safe and dry. We also have an Outdry™ Extreme Eco collection, featuring jackets and coats made of 100% recycled fabrics. After all, we want to take care of the planet we love exploring.

Conquer your adventure with our collection of hiking jackets, no matter the conditions.

We consider hiking outfits a complete set instead of separate pieces, so we made sure our range of women’s hiking boots, sandals, and all-terrain shoes perfectly matches your style. We don’t just design hiking shoes for function - we consider their form, too. You’ll see that consideration in our line of low hiking shoe - because we know style and comfort should always go side-by-side.

Have you already got a jacket or two in mind? Why not go ahead and choose hiking shoes that complement your style? If our selection of long hiking boots doesn’t quite tickle your fancy, make sure you check out our light hiking shoes and hiking sandals for a more casual vibe. And if you’re ever unsure about what to wear, how to determine your hiking boot size, or how to mix and match the right gear, our handy hiking tips will have the answers for you.

When looking for the ideal hiking jacket for you, don';t settle for the first jacket you find in stores. Use the filters on our online shop to browse through the variety of designs, colours and styles. Some popular colour shades you’ll find in our collection are black, purple lotus, chalk, sunset orange, vista blue, dark sapphire and wild geranium.

Alongside our hiking jackets, we offer a beautiful range of hiking clothes for women. We understand that style and comfort are essential when hiking, so our clothes have the same excellent design and technology as our outerwear. Your unique sense of style shouldn't stop with your outerwear—it should continue with your mid-layers. Choose between popular models such as 3 in 1 jackets, waterproof shell jackets and softshell jackets. Find jackets of a shorter or longer length, and hooded or collared jackets. You can also find practical design features, such as water resistant zippered chest pockets to keep your device or another valuable item dry and safe.

You can also decide on a level of waterproofness for your jacket. Each brands uses their own ratings or technical terms to describe their waterproof outerwear. We don’t think it should be difficult to understand your own clothes. That’s why our water resistant clothing is categorised into four easy-to-understand levels: Drizzle, rain, downpour and deluge.

Consider the above factors and find the perfect hiking jacket(and accompanying midlayers). Get ready for new adventures and new experiences as you hit the trail in these jackets!
