No. The detachable hood fits over a hat but not over a ski helmet.

Our take on the Tacvasen ArcticShield Women's Waterproof Ski Jacket

The Tacvasen ArcticShield is a budget women's ski jacket built around a waterproof shell, a fleece-lined collar and a detachable hood. It covers the basics well: taped seams, adjustable cuffs and hem, and enough pockets for a pass, phone and goggles. It suits casual skiers, snow-day parents and cold-weather commuters who want warmth without technical-shell complexity. Against premium resort jackets it gives up breathability, pit zips and a helmet-compatible hood, but owners rate it highly for warmth and weather protection at its level.
