Is the Andessa Down Mid warm enough for cold resort days?

Yes. Goose down insulation plus a mid-thigh length and insulated collar make it one of Arc'teryx's warmest women's ski jackets, suited to sub-freezing resort days.

Yes. The GORE-TEX ePE shell is waterproof and windproof, and the DWR finish sheds snow and light rain.

Does the hood fit over a helmet?

Yes. The adjustable hood is designed to fit over a ski or snowboard helmet.

What is the difference from the standard Andessa?

The Mid version is longer, reaching mid-thigh for more coverage and warmth, while the standard Andessa is shorter.

What sizes does it come in?

It is offered in women's sizes from XXS through XL, including L, M and XL.

Is it good for backcountry touring?

No. It is built for resort and free-ride use; its weight and down insulation make it a poor choice for high-output touring.

Our take on the Arc'teryx Andessa Down Mid Jacket

The Andessa Down Mid is a women's resort ski jacket built for cold days on the mountain. It pairs a GORE-TEX ePE waterproof, windproof shell with goose down insulation and an extended mid-thigh length for extra warmth. A down-insulated collar and a helmet-compatible adjustable hood round out the cold-weather package. It is a premium Arc'teryx piece, so expect to pay at the top of the ski jacket market.
