If you demand the very best on the slopes, look to the Arc'teryx Women's Volta Jacket for ultimate protection. Featuring a three-layer Gore-Tex Pro Shell with a little stretch for comfort and mobility, the Volta is packed with 80g Coreloft insulation and lined with Coreline high-gauge knit that traps warmth and slides easily over layers. Whether you're gaining vert under your own power, riding a chairlift, or hopping a ride on a heli, you're doing it in style thanks to this jacket's slim, flattering silhouette.

  • Articulated elbows and gusseted underarms enhance your mobility
  • Mesh-lined underarm zips let you release excess heat
  • Low-bulk micro-seams are fully sealed with tiny Gore seam tape
  • Laminated brim on zip-off, helmet-compatible insulated hood shields your face from falling snow
  • Laminated die-cut hook-and-loop cuff tabs with elastic and hem drawcord seal out drafts
  • Water-tight zips prevent water from leaking through
  • Powder skirt comes off for days off the slopes
  • RECCO reflector could come in handy in case of a slide

Bottom Line: The crème de la crème.

Nice jacket but not worth the $

By:

I already have an Arc'teryx softshell and an old ski jacket. However, being down with Bronchitis I decided to get an insulated jacket and stumbled across the Volta. I wouldn't have flinched at a $600-700 tag but $1,000 did make me think twice, especially when I asked the salesperson what the difference was between the Moray and the Volta (same Proshell, same insulation) and she said very little, apart from the more fitted cut and the colors (and the $300 price difference). Vanity got the better of me and I decided to make an "investment in my health" (or so the excuse was) and bought the Volta. I'm a 35-25-36 and wanted an XS for a snug fit but couldn't find any for the color I wanted. Got the S instead. Their measurements give 2" or so. Their measurements for the S specify 35 for the bust but I can fit in 4 layers + fleece in the S.

Took it out the last few days, 9 degrees at the base. Before the purchase, I had my old ski jacket on (not insulated) and 4 layers + fleece. Yes I know that's a lot of layers for many of you but I didn't want to risk if with Bronchitis and all. After the purchase, I had 4 layers + Volta, and I didn't find myself any warmer at the top of the tram ride, which was kindda disappointing. Basically the Volta = my old ski jacket + fleece. In hindsight, would I have gone ahead with the Volta? Well, with a wedding coming up and an evening gown (coincidentally also $1,000) I've had an eye on, probably not, I would have gotten the evening gown rather than the Volta.
