Mid-Layers for Women

Whether you're out for a brisk stroll or ski touring deep in the backcountry, a great women's mid layer is a must-have to stay warm and dry during outdoor activities. Orage mid layers for women add warmth and comfort when you need it. In cold weather, it’s an extra layer of breathable warmth between your base layer and your outerwear to provide maximum warmth. In milder temperatures or during high-intensity activities, it can do the trick as a standalone piece.

Our women's mid-layer jackets

At Orage, we understand everyone is unique and weather changes in a snap, so we’ve created different types of mid layers from stretchy fleece to puffy down, with key pieces featuring our award-winning Gilltek technology for excellent warmth and breathability. Choosing the best women's mid layer ski jacket for you depends on the conditions, your activity level and your own comfort level. Discover the different types of Orage women’s mid layer jackets to find your favorite:

• Fleece: Soft and lightweight with breathable warmth, Orage fleece is one of the top choices for skiers and snowboarders as a mid layer jacket. As an insulating material, fleece doesn’t absorb moisture and dries quickly. It's also highly breathable, allowing sweat to escape and keeping you comfortable.
• Soft Shell: Soft shells are versatile pieces that are warm, windproof and shed snow and water. They offer good breathability, along with stretch and comfort, but they don’t offer the same protection from rain or snow as waterproof-breathable jackets. That said, a soft shell can replace an insulating layer and outer shell combo with a single garment in many conditions.
• Synthetic: Synthetic insulation offers a superior warmth-to-weight ratio in comparison to fleece and Merino wool. The main advantage of synthetic insulation is that it retains warmth even when exposed to moisture, which makes it a great choice in wet, cold conditions.
• Down: For a serious cold, down insulation is your best option for maximum warmth. Orage has some of the warmest down mid layers on the market that work by trapping and retaining warm air in the space between down filaments. Down provides incredible warmth for weight, and can last a very long time if properly cared for. They're also the easiest to pack away when not needed thanks to its compressible fill.

Legs get cold too, and mid layer ski pants save the day when it’s seriously freezing and a base layer isn’t enough. Orage offers insulated pants and down shorts that keep your seat warm and core temperature up in cold weather. Discover the different types of women’s mid layer pants to find your favorite:
