For over 70 years, Obermeyer has engineered performance ski apparel built to meet the demands of serious mountain conditions, without compromising on fit or style.
Why a Shell Jacket Belongs in Your Kit
If you ski variable conditions, a shell jacket is the most versatile piece you can own. Unlike an insulated jacket with fixed fill, a womens ski shell jacket gives you full control over your warmth system. Cold morning on the lift? Add a midlayer. Bluebird afternoon on groomers? Ditch it. The shell adapts because you decide what goes underneath.
That flexibility matters most when conditions shift mid-day, or when you ski everything from groomed runs to sidecountry terrain. A shell keeps wind and moisture out while letting you dial in warmth precisely, which means fewer compromises and more comfort across a wider range of temperatures and effort levels.
Meet the W Steibis Jacket
The W Steibis Jacket is Obermeyer's answer to the performance shell category, built for skiers who want technical protection without sacrificing freedom of movement. Its waterproof, breathable construction handles real mountain weather, keeping you dry when conditions turn without trapping heat during hard efforts.
The fit is designed with on-mountain movement in mind. Articulated patterning and adjustable details at the hem and cuffs let you dial the fit over a midlayer without bulk or restriction, so your range of motion stays intact whether you're carving or navigating tight trees. The W Steibis Jacket also carries the clean, considered aesthetic that Obermeyer has built its reputation on since 1947, blending technical function with a silhouette that works beyond the chairlift.
How to Layer with a Ski Shell
Layering under a women's shell ski jacket follows a simple three-part system. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer against your skin to pull sweat away and keep you dry from the inside out. Add a fleece or synthetic midlayer over that for warmth, adjusting the weight based on temperature and how hard you're skiing. The shell goes on top, blocking wind and precipitation while letting the layers underneath do their job.
The W Steibis Jacket is built to work within this system. Its interior fit accommodates a midlayer without feeling restrictive, and the adjustable hem and cuffs help seal out drafts and snow when conditions get serious. Get the layering right and you'll stay comfortable from the first run to the last chair.
