Arc’teryx Women’s Andessa Down Jacket
DESCRIPTION
Warm, waterproof jacket for resort skiing and snowboarding.
STYLE DETAILS
Designed with specific snowsports features for efficient protection, layering and movement.
Impervious to wind and offers significant weather resistance with lighter weight protection.
Highly efficient natural insulation that compacts well and offers excellent warmth to weight.
Waterproof, windproof and breathable textiles that offer fully protective environmental shelter.
Description
With lofty goose down insulation and PFAS-free GORE-TEX wind and weather protection, the Andessa keeps you warm and dry when conditions get harsh. Its shorter length delivers freedom of movement and easy layering with a clean look, and the construction eliminates cold spots. An insulated adjustable hood fits over your helmet, multiple pockets offer storage, and a down-insulated collar wraps the neck for next-level warmth.
This product is free of intentionally added PFAS.
The new ePE membrane technology is lighter and thinner, but just as strong and durable as the materials we used before. You may notice the face fabric “wetting out” slightly faster in products with ePE membranes, but rest assured this does not affect the waterproofing of the membrane itself. If you notice the fabric wetting out faster than you’d like, simply wash the jacket and dry it to remove the oil contamination and bring the DWR back to its full power.

Arc'teryx Layering Guide
Layers are the instruments of keeping you dry, warm and using your energy efficiently. Put into the right systems, a good sequence of layers provides you with weather protection, moves moisture away from your skin, conserves or dissipates heat, and does this in the least amount of time.
