The Best Women’s Ski Jackets of 2025

With applause-worthy function and style, the Picture Women’s Seen Jacket ($370) is a 2-layer construction built 100% from Circular polyester: upcycled fabric from factory scraps and used jackets. As an eco-conscious brand, Picture’s Circular polyester rolled out through 80% of their 2023 winter goods, and in our experience, the performance and durability remained high. While the Seen debuted in 2023, we’ve tested the most recent iteration and it remains unchanged — and awesome.

On the most frigid days, Senior Editor Morgan Tilton typically wore this jacket with a base layer and light fleece midlayer beneath and felt cozy all day. For extra warmth, there are wrist gaiters. We highly rate the pocket quantity and layout. Both exterior hand pockets are spacious and softly lined. There’s an upper exterior zippered chest pocket — and an elastic band sporting a goggle wipe. Inside the jacket is a large mesh dump pocket and a zippered chest pocket. A pass pocket is on the left arm. 

This jacket and the matching Exa pants are tailored yet easy to move in and stylish. A super soft chin guard inside the jacket collar is five-star (not all lower-face liners are created equal). The hood’s brim is reinforced. While the hood fits over a helmet, it doesn’t fully extend to block weather from hitting the front of the helmet. And while there’s a powder skirt, it’s fixed. 

This piece also clouts Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and Global Recycled Standard certifications. To help repel water, the seams are fully taped. The front, underarm, and chest zips are all waterproof. The textile also utilizes Teflon Ecoelite, a PFC-free bio-based, non-fluorinated stain and water-repellent treatment. Ultimately, the Women’s Seen is extremely protective against all the elements, durable, and warm while looking good.

While this kit can get toasty on a warm, sunny, wind-free spring day, there are underarm vents and you can surely drop to a lightweight base layer. If you’re looking for a more sleek, light, next-to-skin jacket, we recommend the Patagonia Women’s SnowDrifter Jacket, which is uninsulated and built with ePE GORE-TEX material, which feels pretty lean.

If you need a lightweight, breathable, windproof, and waterproof shell for laps at the resort and backcountry adventures, here’s our superstar choice — the Outdoor Research Women’s Skytour AscentShell Jacket ($429). At 20% lighter than its predecessor, and now with no intentionally added PFAS, the hardy 65-denier nylon and spandex face fabric is paired with a 50-denier knit back, making this jacket a stalwart against harsh conditions and a loaded pack. The cut is roomy (but not baggy) long — below our hips — and even longer in the back, covering most of our glutes.

Though strong, the fabric is breathable, pliable, and buttery soft. The jacket feels good to move in whether we’re planting our poles on steep groomers or ascending a skin track. We appreciate that the hood is wire-brimmed so it doesn’t collapse. The brushed tricot chin guard feels smooth and comfortable against the face.

We also love the pockets. There are two lower hand pockets and two Napoleon-style exterior upper chest pockets that open toward the opposite hand, so they’re ergonomic to slide into and access. There’s one internal mesh pocket and another internal pocket with zipper access and a headphone port.

Dual two-way zipper access on the front and in the armpit vents makes the jacket highly adaptive to weather changes. And the wrist cuffs are the ideal width — sturdy but not too beefy. We reach for the Women’s Skytour AscentShell Jacket for resort days, backcountry skiing, ski mountaineering, snowmobiling, and pow surfing. It’s a top-notch all-around winter shell and may be the best women’s ski jacket available today.

Regardless of how harsh the wind gets above treeline, this jacket protects us from cold and damp conditions. The fabric of the ORTOVOX Women’s 3L Deep Shell Jacket ($730) is 100% windproof and is capable of blocking the heavy rain and snow you typically see in the Pacific Northwest. That’s a good safety investment for a backcountry skier.

Yet somehow, the jacket still feels breathable to our testers who sweat a lot on the skin track but prefer protection from the elements on the way up. The numbers check out: A whopping 32,000 g/m²/24h is achieved, which is a huge amount compared to other jackets, especially designs that are this waterproof, and is one reason why we are so comfortable in this kit on the up or down. The brand uses SwissWool for insulation and odor-neutralizing properties with Tasmanian merino wool in the chest and collar.

In addition to the spacious, ergonomic underarm zippers, the wool helps manage moisture and temperature. The cuff tabs are wide and easy to grab, and the powder skirt is removable. One aspect of the 3L Deep Shell we rave about is the pockets. ORTOVOX nails pocket size and functionality. The two large chest pockets are still accessible while wearing a heavy pack with a hip belt. We’ve also used the small arm pocket to hold a ski pass at the resort, and it’s a good spot for a whistle or a thin wallet.

ORTOVOX added an integrated mesh pocket to the left chest pocket on the Women’s 3L Deep Shell Jacket that’s well-angled and articulated, so you can easily secure your phone, even if it’s a larger size. (Note: If you wear your backcountry beacon in a chest harness, be sure to separate the beacon a minimum of 20 inches from your phone.)

Despite countless days of backcountry use skiing, snowmobiling, and managing a trailer across several seasons, this jacket has yet to see any holes: The investment is worth the price tag. Check out the full review of the matching Ortovox Women’s 3L Deep Shell Bib Pants.

When the snow is pounding and you’re shoveling a cake of flakes off your kit at the top of the lift ride, a super waterproof jacket is warranted. Fortunately, one such jacket launched in 2023 and remains unchanged for 2024/2025: The Rab Women’s Khroma Diffuse GORE-TEX Jacket ($500) is among the most waterproof choices among our top ski jackets for ladies. This outer layer kept us dry (and subsequently warmer) in beat-down storms with plenty of wind. Offering a boost, the face fabric is also treated with Gore DWR for extra repellency.

The hood easily slides over a helmet and allows us to swivel if we need to ride enclosed. Overall, we dug the fit, which offers a nice upper body reach for pole plants and boot or binding adjustments, thanks in part to the articulated sleeves. The center back length reaches a tad lower (than the front), at 30 inches, which we like for aesthetics plus a bit more protection on the backside.

For such strong fabric, the feel is relatively smooth and lightweight. The 3-layer build hinges on a 70-denier face fabric that’s 100% recycled. A portion of the zippers and trim is also recycled. A measly strip of soft fabric lines the interior fabric in front of the face — just 1.25 x 6 inches. We’d love to see an expanded chin guard. While there is a powder skirt, it’s removable, which is a nice touch.

The pockets are straightforward and spacious. On the chest is a 7-inch long zipper that enters a huge cavity — 12 x 6 inches. Two lower torso pockets, 9 x 13.5 inches, are equally roomy, though are placed a bit high to be hand pockets in the traditional sense.

It feels unnatural to hang our wrists that high but the pockets function a bit better with a hip belt clasped — you just need to slide everything inside above the belt. Inside, there’s one dump pocket with a tapered shape to help secure items. One more small pocket rounds out the collection on the upper left bicep.

Of course, you can’t forget underarm zips for a mission-oriented jacket, and Rab doesn’t here. The center zip also has a uniquely wide pyramid-shaped pull tab that’s easy to grab and slide. If you’re on the hunt for a non-insulated jacket with superior waterproofness that won’t bite the dust any time soon and can handle the shellacking of big backcountry days, consider investing in the Women’s Khroma Diffuse GORE-TEX Jacket.

For the price, adaptability, and quality, this jacket is hard to beat. Available in plus sizes, as well as XS-XXL, the Columbia Women’s Bugaboo III Fleece Interchange Jacket ($210) comprises two separate pieces: a high-pile fleece liner layer and an Omni-Heat-equipped two-layer shell that zip together. You can wear the pieces individually or layer them, giving you three options.

The jacket has a heat-holding ability, thanks to the fleece liner as well as the Omni-Heat thermal-reflective technology, which coats the inside of the shell. The design uses silver dots that retain and reflect body heat to help maintain temperature. This jacket is not the longest cut nor the warmest but fares well in moderately cold climates.

The ORTOVOX Women’s 3L Deep Shell Jacket and the Rab Women’s Khroma Diffuse GORE-TEX Jacket are both slightly longer, more tailored fits. And we have several favorite insulated designs on our list including the Halfdays Lawrence Jacket.

To get the best protection possible, the jacket also has an adjustable hood, cuffs, and hem. Critical seams are sealed, and when worn with both layers together, the fleece provides a boost of warmth. The fleece is super soft, too. While simple, it’s stylish with a nice cut. 

There’s also a chin guard on the exterior jacket’s collar, to help keep your face warm and protected from the elements when you’re zipped up. We also appreciate the extended zipper pull, so we can quickly grab the zippers with our ski gloves on.

At cost, the price is fair — for less than $300, you get three jackets in one. The Bugaboo III Fleece Interchange Jacket is available in 1X, 2X, or 3X.

Still cooking, the Patagonia Women’s Untracked Jacket ($699) sets a bar in sustainable snowwear while maintaining the high-performance standard that we know from this eco-champion brand.

Similar to the SnowDrifter’s in-house 3-layer design, this 3-layer GORE-TEX design eliminates harmful perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) from the fabric, membrane, and water repellency. In a burlier construction, the Untracked is made with 80-denier 100% recycled fabric compared to the SnowDrifter’s 50-denier face.

The Untracked is a tad heavier and feels more substantial against a storm, which some skiers prefer. You’ll see the price bump. If you’re primarily using your ski jacket inbounds, we suggest snagging the Untracked (instead of the SnowDrifter), especially if you ski in a zone that can get gusty and hammered with snow, and if you’re sensitive to cold or prefer a denser jacket.

If you prefer a minimalist feel and are using your ski jacket for backcountry, go for the SnowDrifter: It’s more than $200 less, and you can always wear a solid midlayer and down vest if you need to.

Additionally, this suit top delivers an integrated powder skirt with grippy material to ensure that the jacket stays planted and attached to your pants, preventing snow from creeping up beneath the hemline on deep days. With a cozy touch, the interior is lined with flannel.

We found that the Untracked allowed us to hunt all of the fresh snow no matter the weather. This layer kept us dry and warm in the windiest, coldest conditions. The flip side is that the Untracked is quite heavy for dedicated use in the backcountry and rather bulky when packed down to stash in your pack for the uphill. The only other potential downfall we noted is that the sleet green color, though neutral and sleek, can be hard to pinpoint on overcast days.

The Halfdays Lawrence Jacket ($375) is among the most fashion-forward and functional pieces we’ve tested. Regardless of size — the layer runs from XS to 2XL — this fit is svelte and attractive while withstanding seriously stormy conditions. For decadent reasons, this jacket is Halfdays’ top-selling ladies’ ski jacket. 

While riding the ski lift in whiteouts and then running errands after leaving the hill, a standout attribute is the jacket’s toasty insulation, which kept us cozy in freezing conditions. Loaded with PrimaLoft Black, the insulation is 100% recycled, provides the equivalent of 550-fill power down, and is coated with a water-resistant finish.

The Lawrence’s insulated collar stands tall without being cumbersome, keeping the neck and entire face tucked in. In a unique design, the fixed, insulated hood wraps around the collar’s exterior, providing double the warmth. The entire interior of the collar — all 360 degrees from the zipper pull to teeth — is wrapped with super-soft fleece-like fabric. The arms are long, which we appreciate, and the wide Velcro straps on the wrists are easy to place even with mittens on. Moisture beaded off the jacket’s surface, and snow piled up on the lift without the fabric wetting out a bit.

On warm spring days, there are underarm vents to help dump heat. The pulls of the narrow Aquaguard zippers are not the quickest to grab but smoothly open, and the length is a bit stunted at 9.5 inches but that also goes with the kit’s svelte style. We’re impressed by the small, useful additions to the design. The pass pocket on the left arm has an integrated elastic band that attaches to a goggle wipe, which can be released via a miniature buckle.

The chest pocket includes an integrated rubber leash shaped like a lasso to hold your phone, helping to prevent an accident on the lift or in line. The two hand pockets are lined with soft fabric and are spacious: 10 by 6 inches. There’s also a zippered interior chest pocket and mesh dump pocket on the left side. 

One critique: We noticed the center zipper on the jacket felt stiff in the center any time we bent over to adjust our bindings or needed to make athletic moves while getting stuck in deep snow. The zipper serves its purpose of blocking the elements but isn’t very flexible.

And while the hood does slide over a helmet, we felt it restricts side-to-side movement, so we didn’t like to descend with it pulled on. To sum it up, the Lawrence Jacket is one of the most stylish, functional ski jackets for ladies who need to wear their jackets in a blizzard followed by an evening at the bar.

A durable, stylish, and supremely cute ski kit is delivered with the Rossignol Rallybird Ski Jacket ($425). Unlike other jackets with the trending freeride-type fit, we found the Rallybird silhouette to run slightly trimmer than normal with nice-to-have features like two zippered chest pockets and two zippered hand pockets. 

But our favorite feature was the perfectly long wrist gaiters with thumb holes. One of our crew has longer-than-average arms and often struggles to use thumb holes since they are too short, but the Rallybird nailed the length, which made it really easy to slide mittens over top of the gaiters.

The 3-layer polyester shell uses a PFC-free DWR treatment that has zero issues shedding moisture in the nastiest of weather, as tester Heather Balogh Rochfort learned during whiteout conditions at Aspen Snowmass. The fabric is heavier than other ski jackets which makes it feel warmer on cold days. But, there is a tradeoff: less mobility, especially under the arms. Still, it isn’t a deal breaker and we logged more than 20 days skiing in the Rallybird over the course of 3 months. 

Full pit zips allow skiers to dump heat in a hurry, but the burly materials make the Rallybird too heavy to justify for backcountry adventures. Alternatively, the piece that clouts the most breathability to weight and durability ratio? It’s the ORTOVOX Women’s 3L Deep Shell Jacket, our winner for best backcountry ski jacket. Our advice: stick to the chairlift, and the Rallybird will keep you happy.

Sensitive to arctic blasts and ice-cold bluebird days? Get yourself one of Flylow’s newest designs for the ladies, the Flylow Charlie Coat ($600), a fully waterproof down jacket for ripping the ski hill. This jacket is loaded with 150 g of 800-fill down, which is Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certified.

After Senior Editor Morgan Tilton tested the Charlie in extremely cold conditions at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, we can attest, it’s among the warmest choices out there. A squishy 5-inch-tall collar is fully insulated and sits inside a removable puffy hood that’s similarly stuffed. It’s our favorite elements of a sleeping bag and functional ski jacket combined.

The brand was founded in 2005, by Coloradans Greg Steen and Dan Abrams, on the premise that they needed durable apparel for backcountry ventures but didn’t forget style or fit. As telemark skiers, the pair was heckled one day on groomers when someone yelled: “You don’t ski fast — you fly low.” They ran with the tagline. Indeed, the fabric resists moisture at a high level — with a 20,000mm waterproofness tag — and is also buttered up with Empel DWR (a PFAS-free waterproofing treatment) for extra repellency. Even while skiing or riding in moisture-heavy storms, this jacket fared well.

While the design crowns itself on being breathable, we found the jacket to be pretty toasty, which was perfect for midwinter squalls, but we wouldn’t say the breathability of the fabric offset that toaster level in a noticeable way. If we needed to turn the dial down, we’d open up the 11.5-inch long underarm zips. The pulls are tiny, so we’d often need to pull off our gloves or ask a friend to help.

For toting around goods, the jacket has a fair number of pockets: six total. Two functional hand pockets are roomy at 7 x 10 inches. An exterior upper left chest pocket is a great spot for quickly sliding in a phone. Inside is a mesh pouch on the left, faced by a zippered pocket on the right. On the left arm is a pass pocket: we wish this was on the lower forearm, because an I.D. would get caught in our cubital fossa whenever our arm bent.

While there’s a powder skirt, it’s removable. Without obstructing style, the brand adds snaps along the skirt’s elastic hem, which can be connected with a lineup of snaps along the exterior of the brand’s pants and bibs.

Ultimately, this jacket offers up a nice range of movement without excess fabric. It has a true middle-of-the-road fit that’s not too tight or baggy. Another insulated favorite on our list is the Picture Women’s Seen Jacket, which comes in with 20K/20K waterproofness and breathability, as well as a lower heat meter: 60 gsm of insulation in the body and sleeve, and 40 gsm in the hood, and at more than $200 less.

If you don’t mind having less insulation and water protection, go for the Seen. But if you live in a blizzard-ridden zone known for the gales and frigid temps, we’d suggest investing in the Charlie, which will withstand the worst of storms.

With the Arc’teryx Women’s Sentinel Jacket ($750), this premium brand delivers a tough, flexible shell jacket for tackling big days at the ski resort or in the backcountry. It still boasts a more relaxed and modern cut than seen in previous years, thanks to a 23-24 redesign that ditched the previous hourglass shape. The big news for the 2024-2025 season is the updated fabric. The Sentinel now boasts 80-denier GORE-TEX ePE, a PFAS-free material.

From blustery conditions to blower powder, the three-layer GORE-TEX fabric is waterproof and breathable, and it blocks wind well. The design is also Fair Trade Certified. The seams are fully sealed to block moisture, and if you build heat on deep-snow laps, the underarm vents are a lifesaver, while the powder skirt helps keep base layers dry.

A soft, flannel backer provides a bit of warmth for cooler days on the chair lift. But if it’s really cold, we’ll throw on a fleece midlayer, too. The hood fits nicely over a helmet with a stout, laminated brim.

To hold your goods, there are two generously sized hand pockets with exterior zipper access. The zippers do sit a tad higher than traditional hand pockets on the hips, so walking with your hands in your pockets feels a bit awkward.

There’s one small sleeve pocket for an ID or lift pass, an internal mesh pocket, and one (small) internal pocket with a zip closure. Given the internal pocket is too small for our phone, we wish there was a chest pocket on the outside of the jacket that could hold our phone up higher and off our hips.

Mostly, this streamlined, athletic jacket simply feels good to wear. If you’re looking for a comfortable shell that withstands season after season of abuse while managing variable conditions from spring sunshine to winter storms, the Women’s Sentinel Jacket is tough to beat.

The Norrona Tamok GORE-TEX Performance Shell Jacket ($699) is a new freeride shell that’s fully functional and tapped with style for resort days. Norrona started with eco-friendly materials by using GORE-TEX’s relatively new ePE membrane, the first PFC-free technology from the waterproof-breathable giant. Not to mention, it comes in at $100 less than the Norrona Women’s Lofoten GORE-TEX Pro Jacket.

In contrast, the Tamok has two lower-placed hand pockets with fashionable flaps, feminine articulation throughout the back, a slightly longer cut, and slightly less breathability than the Lofoten. Yet, the Tamok doesn’t leave behind key features like the integrated chest vent or superior waterproofness.

The Tamok uses 100% recycled nylon throughout and is fully certified by Oeko-Tex, a standardization that signifies non-hazardous products. And performance doesn’t suffer with the greener materials. Both the shoulders and the elbows are reinforced with 200-denier ePE GORE-TEX, and it showed in testing.

After 2 months of skiing with a backpack, we couldn’t find a single abrasion. The Tamok boasts the same details often found in other ski jackets like a helmet-compatible hood and pit zips. But Norrona thought through the niceties and carefully placed each one in this jacket.

The zippered chest pocket is slightly longer than usual and carries an attached goggle wipe inside. Those two lower zippered hand pockets are huge and easily swallowed essentials like an entire bag of gummy bears — it’s a required ski snack, okay? The zippered upper arm pocket is great for ski passes and quickly registers as you zip through the chair lift scanners. And, our favorite: stretchy hand gaiters with thumb holes that kept snow away from our wrists. 

With a slightly relaxed fit, this piece is flattering on most women. And the longer hemline adds tons of backside protection, even when sitting in a snow bank. Tradeoff: It may not suit every skier’s style, and women with wider hips should pay attention to the size charts to get the correct option. The asymmetrical cuffs come to a point over the top of your hands but are plenty loose enough for women who prefer to tuck their mittens beneath.

If the price is still too shocking, check out the extremely functional Rossignol Rallybird Ski Jacket for more than $200 less, which is less waterproof, less breathable, less articulated, and has fewer of the fine details — like no integrated goggle wipe — but is still nicely cut, comfortable, and kept us dry in a range of weather conditions at the ski resort.

If piercing winds and teeth-chattering temps are frequently faced at your home ski hill, check out the Helly Hansen Women’s Powchaser 2.0 Jacket ($350), which is stuffed with toasty goodness. In this case, what’s sound for morale and energy is also good for the planet. Helly integrated the Powchaser 2.0 with PrimaLoft Ocean Bound, a synthetic insulation that repurposes plastic found near coastlines in an effort to prevent ocean fill.

With 100% post-consumer recycled material, the technology is totally new as of 2023 and premiered via Helly Hansen as well as the apparel of Isbjörn of Sweden. This insulation extends into the hood and kept Senior Editor Morgan Tilton comfortable and warm on freezing, blustery days at Crested Butte Mountain Resort.

Also delivering warmth, the inside of this freeride-style jacket is lined with a cozy fleece along the side of the torso. The left side is a 9 x 13-inch patch and the right side is 5 x 13 inches. Protecting our lower face is a wide, soft chin guard made of brushed tricot fabric reaching 6 inches high and 3.5 inches wide. Thank you, Helly. Surrounding that softness is a 100% recycled polyester liner.

On the workmanship side, this jacket has plenty of pockets. Two lower torso pockets are on the left side and there’s a single, larger pouch on the right. All three of these pockets have top entrances with ground-facing flaps, which we found makes them less ergonomic when we’re trying to quickly grab our phone for photos on the slopes.

The two lowermost torso pockets are also lined with a brushed fabric on the side facing the knuckles, while the palm side is not, but we think that’d be a nice addition. However, the lines are aesthetically pleasing and the size is suitable. On the lower left forearm is a small zippered purse with a leashed goggle wipe, one of our favorite features of the jacket.

There’s one interior right-side mesh dump pocket and a single interior zippered chest pocket, which is specially designed to keep your phone warmer using thermal-resistant materials. Dubbed the Life Pocket, the brand claims the fabric keeps a phone two times warmer than pockets without. The pocket certainly seemed protective without losing pliability, and the size is complimentary to carrying a large phone.

As an extra shield against moisture, the fabric’s face is coated with PFC-free DWR. The powder skirt is fixed, but some skiers prefer a removable one. Also, the wrist cuffs are a bit over-the-top with a 2.5-inch width, but they didn’t steal our attention while zipping around, and we were still able to secure ’em over undercuff gloves.

Adding a touch of safety, the jacket includes a RECCO detector for rescue teams, in case the wearer gets lost or injured. Of course, such a fireside-esque coat would be risky without underarm zips, which we used many times while riding deep powder and working up heat in the trees. At the end of the day, we don’t think you’d regret snagging a Women’s Powchaser 2.0 Jacket if you need an extra layer of warmth, some help maintaining your phone’s battery, and enjoy a baggier fit.

If you’d like a more traditional cut, and you still want an insulated jacket, check out the premium-grade, super warm Flylow Charlie Coat or the more economic, moderately toasty Picture Women’s Seen Jacket.

Super well-built and very comfortable, the backcountry style Norrona Women’s Lofoten GORE-TEX Pro Jacket ($799) reached the upper tier of our favorite jackets, given its functionality yet simple design. Even after testing a huge pool of pieces, this design still sits on the favorites list of two of our primary testers.

One of the primary details: Two huge Napoleon pockets that let you carry the bulk of your goods up high, out of the way of a hip belt on your pack, making this jacket ideal for backcountry missions. The powderskirt is removable for less bulk. Plus, with a premium degree of waterproofness and breathability — 28K and RET 6 — there’s really not a better jacket to wear for protection from the elements.

While taking backcountry powder laps via snowcat, skinning slopes, or riding the lifts, this jacket manages moisture extremely well, keeping wet snow and wind out — it’s 100% windproof. The seams are taped, and the underarm vents let you dump heat. We also love the articulation on the elbows and tapered wrist cuffs, which are slightly longer along the outer edge. The hem of the integrated wrist gaiters are a bit tight but feel fine once we pull them on.

As a leader in sustainability, Norrona kitted out this jacket with synthetic fibers that are more than 50% recycled. The 70-denier GORE-TEX Lofoten is Bluesign and Oeko-Tex certified. The factory where the goods are manufactured is also third-party inspected to ensure a sound work environment and open factory listed by the brand for transparency.

One chest pocket doubles as a vent with interior mesh to help you cool down. Inside, there’s a mesh dump pocket and a small zippered pocket. There’s also a small exterior pocket on the left bicep. Creating a sleek lower half comes at the expense of two hand pockets, which isn’t the worst sacrifice, especially because we really like using this piece in the backcountry.

With a unique touch, there’s a goggle and sunglasses wipe attached inside the arm pocket via a buckle on an elastic band, which is super handy. If you prefer a svelte, tenacious, and buttery-smooth jacket for backcountry and resort use, the Women’s Lofoten GORE-TEX Pro Jacket might be the optimal tool for you, if you’re able to stomach the price.
