Product Information
Full details
The Barbour New Lowerdale Gilet is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, weather-resistant layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its combination of insulation for warmth, water-resistance, and wind-resistance, all within a stylish, quilted design. A potential caveat is its sleeveless nature, which may require layering for significant cold.

FAQs
Is the Barbour New Lowerdale Gilet waterproof?
The gilet is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and moisture for a period, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed to offer protection against moderate weather conditions.
What is the filling of the gilet made of?
The filling is made of 100% Polyester, providing insulation for warmth.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The gilet offers insulation, but its sleeveless design means it's best suited for mild to cool temperatures or as a layering piece in colder weather. For significant cold, wear it over warm layers like a sweater or fleece.
How should I maintain the water-resistant treatment?
After washing, it is recommended to re-proof the gilet using a suitable waterproofing agent designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the instructions on the re-proofing product.
What is the fit of this gilet?
The Barbour New Lowerdale Gilet features a tailored fit, designed to offer a refined silhouette.
What are the dimensions for a size S?
The length of the sample (size not specified, but typically measured on a standard size) is 70 cm. Specific garment measurements can vary slightly by size.
What materials are used for the outer, lining, and trim?
The outer is 100% Polyester, the lining is 100% Polyamide, and the trim is 100% Polyester.
Troubleshooting
Gilet not providing expected warmth
Ensure the gilet is properly zipped and the storm guard is fastened. For colder conditions, layer with additional warm clothing underneath.
Water resistance seems reduced
The water-repellent finish may need replenishment. Follow the care instructions to re-proof the garment after washing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or a dry lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Pockets feel insecure
Ensure all studs on the patch pockets are fully fastened. The studs provide the primary security for these pockets.
