The term ski jacket is a fairly general term that people use to describe winter coats that look sporty. This is highly subjective of course, but this is how it is. A good skiing jacket must provide a lot of warmth to the person who wears it, even if it's very cold outside. It must also be able to keep people dry. Snow has a habit of turning into water once it has landed on something. A jacket that lets water through would be useless as it would cause the person inside of it to get cold. The ease of movement must be maintained so the wearer and move around freely while skiing.

Many women's rain jackets are also lined with fleece for comfort and warmth. The best rain jackets for women will have zippered pockets for storage of items to keep them handy and dry.
