Product Information
Full details
The Barbour New Lowerdale Gilet is designed for adult males seeking versatile outdoor wear that offers weather protection and insulation. Its key benefit is providing warmth and a wind-resistant barrier without the bulk of a full jacket, making it ideal for layering. A potential caveat is its tailored fit, which may not suit all body types or layering preferences. This gilet features a diamond-quilted design, a microfibre stand collar for extra warmth, and practical patch pockets with stud closures.

FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
The Barbour New Lowerdale Gilet is insulated for warmth and wind-resistant, making it suitable for mild to moderately cold conditions, especially when layered. For extreme cold, it may be best used as a mid-layer under a heavier insulated jacket.
How do I clean the microfibre collar?
The entire gilet can be machine washed at 30°C. For spot cleaning of the collar, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying.
What does 'tailored fit' mean for this gilet?
A tailored fit is more shaped to the body than a regular or relaxed fit. It means the gilet is designed to fit closer to the torso, offering a more streamlined silhouette.
Can I wear this gilet in the rain?
The gilet is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle. It is not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to some dampness.
What material is the filling made of?
The filling of the gilet is made of 100% Polyester, providing its insulating properties.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the gilet features patch pockets that close with studs, offering secure storage for small items.
How should I dry the gilet after washing?
It is recommended not to tumble dry the gilet. Air dry it by hanging or laying it flat to maintain its shape and material integrity.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight for layering
Consider wearing thinner layers underneath, or if purchasing new, try a size up or a different fit model.
Water-resistance seems reduced after washing
Ensure you followed the machine wash at 30°C instruction and avoided fabric softeners. A re-waterproofing spray suitable for polyester may help restore protection.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
