FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the waterproof and breathable membrane?
The membrane keeps external water out while allowing internal moisture (like sweat) to escape, ensuring you stay dry from both rain and perspiration.
How should I determine the correct size?
The jacket has a fitted cut. Refer to the product's size guide and consider your typical layering habits. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick layers, consider sizing up.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for protection against rain and dampness in mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, consider layering additional warm clothing underneath.
What is the purpose of the internal checked yoke?
The internal checked yoke is a signature Barbour design detail that adds a classic aesthetic to the jacket's interior.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is typically needed when you notice a significant reduction in water repellency. This depends on usage and environmental conditions, but generally, it might be required annually or bi-annually for regular wear.
Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain or prolonged downpours?
Yes, the waterproof membrane is designed to provide reliable protection during heavy rain and prolonged downpours, keeping you dry.
What should I do if the jacket loses its water repellency?
First, ensure the jacket is clean. If the issue persists, you may need to apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) refresher spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's specific instructions.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems reduced.
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue, which can impede water repellency. Re-treat with a suitable waterproofing agent if necessary, following product instructions.
Jacket feels stiff or less pliable.
This can sometimes occur after washing. Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature and have followed the correct drying procedures. Avoid excessive heat.
Zippers or pockets are not functioning smoothly.
Check for any lint or obstructions in the zipper track or pocket openings. Gently clean the zipper with a soft brush. Avoid forcing zippers.
