Women's Jackets

My girlfriend is looking for a warm snowboarding jacket for next season. Can anybody recommend one that is really warm? She gets cold easily and the one I got her I thought was warm but I guess not.

^^I agree with belleayre. Get some really good base layers. I wear 2, a warm base layer (tight to keep the warmth insulated) and a merino wool sweater over it (or a good fleece or water wicking sweatshirt like UA), then my jacket. You want materials that insulate and keep your warmth in.

 I rock a volcom jacket with T.D.S (Thermal Defense System) with my 2 layers and I'm pretty cozy/toasty. What kind of jacket did you get your gf?

Why dont you try some jackets that are fully padded with some fleece lining on the inside? Ive seen loads of fully padded jackets in Korea (not sure if theyre big in the states) but they look like big parkas with waterproof shell

She wears two sweaters underneath and is still cold towards the end of the day. what kind of sweaters? if theyre cotton, its no wonder shes cold. cotton is a BIG no-no.... it holds water(sweat) in and you end up wet and cold a good base layer, a fleece jacket and then (maybe) a jacket with minimal/core insulation would be most beneficial.

Highly agree, you can layer 4 cotton sweatshirts and you're still going to get cold. For me, a base layer that hugs my body keeps my heat in. Check out UnderArmour cold weather base layer, I hear some good things about them. I rock a NorthFace base layer and it's my go-to for cold days. You want a base that would keep heat insulated and wick sweat away.

As Derby said, layers.  To clarify, layers that are not cotton.  Cotton kills.

No don't check out Underarmour.. its over priced and I regret buying it. I had a spyder baselayer.. so much better and kept me very warm.. I regret returning it and bought the UA coldgear baselayer. I'm looking towards merino wool, expensive as ***k tho but it isn't synthetic. The UA stuff for women might fit nice and snug but I wouldn't know, and I'd still stay away from them.
