Arc'teryx Stingray Jacket - Women's
Best Shell Ever.

Ranked #42 - Women's Ski Jackets

This shell lives up to the Arc'teryx reputation for sure. It comfortably fits layers in -6 temps, and vents beautifully for warmer days on the mountain. I've worn this shell in Jackson Hole powder and in east coast slush and stayed warm and dry in both. I'm 5'11" and the jacket has awesome length in the body and arms. The hood fits my over my snowboard helmet, and the pockets are easily accessible and pretty big. I bought the Peacock color, and its bright and awesome. Buy it.

Emily, Sorry-- I just saw this! I went with the large-- i have broader shoulders and was worried about fitting layers under the medium and having it be shorter than i wanted to deal with. Im sure you already bought a shell, but i hope it was this one and that it worked out! cheers.

I'm almost your height and debating size for long arms and wide shoulders. What did you go for? (and are you slim, medium, large...?!)
