About this product
The Outdoor Research Snowcrew Jacket is a women's waterproof-breathable shell built for downhill skiing and snowboarding. Its Ventia 2-layer construction pairs a 44% polyester, 56% recycled polyester face fabric with a 50-denier recycled polyester lining, and all seams are fully taped to keep wet snow and wind out. At 549 grams, it sits in a practical middle ground between ultralight and burly, and the hip length provides solid coverage on the mountain. The helmet-compatible hood features a wire brim and full adjustability, while a brushed tricot chin guard adds comfort when zipped up in harsh conditions. Underarm zip venting lets you regulate temperature quickly, and a powder skirt seals the hem against deep snow. Pockets include a zippered chest pocket, a forearm pass pocket, two front zippered pockets, and an internal drop-in pocket. VerticalX Eco recycled polyester insulation adds warmth without significant bulk. The jacket carries Bluesign approved material certification and incorporates recycled content throughout.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Outdoor Research Snowcrew Jacket for its exceptional warmth, excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, and full-coverage fit, particularly highlighting the extra-long drop hem that covers the backside on cold chairlift rides. The abundance of pockets (including fleece-lined hand pockets, a pass pocket, and interior storage) earns frequent appreciation, as does the helmet-compatible hood and overall value for the price, backed by a strong warranty. The most common criticism is that the jacket runs noticeably large, with nearly all reviewers recommending sizing down. Breathability is a recurring concern: the jacket can cause overheating during high-output activity or on warmer days, and the 2-layer Ventia shell, while fully seam-taped, is considered less waterproof than premium 3-layer alternatives in prolonged wet or rainy conditions.
