Women's Rain Jackets
For women who demand more from their rain gear, Northern Lite’s Women’s Rain Jackets combine reliable weather protection with an ultralight philosophy. Designed in Finland specifically for the female form and responsibly manufactured in Pakistan, these jackets strike the perfect balance between fit, functionality, and minimal weight — without compromising durability.
Built for the Trail. Designed for Women.
This isn’t a resized men’s jacket. Northern Lite’s women’s-specific fit offers comfort and mobility tailored to the female anatomy, whether you're hiking in the Nordics or fastpacking across alpine trails.
- Approx. 280 grams – stays under 300g while offering full-feature protection
- 20,000 mm waterproof rating – reliable performance in continuous rain and wet brush
- Shaped cut for women – no boxy compromises or bulk
Exceptional Ventilation with Smart Details
Forget outdated and compromising shell jacket designs. This jacket features a practical and effective ventilation system optimized for active use:
- 35 cm pit zips – waterproof zippers for adjustable underarm airflow
- Ventilated chest pockets – dual function as airflow channels and storage
- Top and bottom snap closures – allows partial main zipper opening for increased breathability without flapping
Ready for Mountain Weather
With a high storm hood and sealed seams, this jacket performs in exposed, wind-driven rain just as confidently as it does on forest trails. It’s compact, lightweight, and ready to deploy — whether stuffed in a side pocket or packed for a thru-hike.
- Protective storm hood – fully adjustable with one hand movement
- Fully seam-taped construction – waterproof from hood to hem
