FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the Barbour International Longline Kyra Waterproof Jacket is designed to provide coverage from 'light drizzle' and general wet weather. For severe downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be necessary.

How should I wash this jacket?

The jacket is machine washable. It is crucial to always follow the specific care instructions provided on the garment's internal label. Generally, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The outer face and lining are 100% Polyester, and it features a 100% Polyurethane membrane for its waterproof properties.

Does the hood offer adjustable protection?

Yes, the jacket is equipped with a practical adjustable snorkel hood, allowing you to tailor the fit for enhanced protection against wind and rain.

What does 'longline' mean in the context of this jacket?

The 'longline' design indicates that the jacket has an extended length, providing additional coverage over the hips and upper legs for increased protection from the elements.

Are other colours available?

Yes, the Barbour International Longline Kyra Waterproof Jacket is available in a range of classic colourways, including Cream, Blue, and Black.

Is the jacket warm, or is it just for rain protection?

The jacket's primary function is to provide waterproof and breathable protection against light rain. It does not explicitly mention insulation, so it acts more as a shell. For warmth in colder weather, it is recommended to wear appropriate layers underneath.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the jacket surface.

This indicates that the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may be diminished. Follow the care instructions carefully, as washing often reactivates the DWR. If not, consider applying a specialist re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof fabrics.

Jacket feels damp or clammy inside.

While breathable, in very humid conditions or during high-exertion activities, some internal condensation can occur. Ensure proper layering beneath the jacket. If moisture is penetrating from outside, check seams for damage or consider re-proofing the jacket.

Zipper is stiff or sticking.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. If still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax or a silicone-based product) to the teeth, avoiding direct contact with the fabric.

Jacket appears creased after washing.

Air dry the jacket completely, shaping it as it dries. Avoid excessive wringing. If gentle ironing is required, ensure to use a very low heat setting and place a cloth between the iron and the jacket, avoiding any rubberised logos or membrane areas. Refer to care label for ironing instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Barbour International Longline Kyra Waterproof Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply don the jacket as needed. For optimal protection, adjust the practical snorkel hood to your preferred fit, securing it against wind and rain.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed for adult females and is available in various UK dress sizes (e.g., 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18). Its classic design and versatile colourways (Cream, Blue, Black) ensure it can be seamlessly integrated into most casual and smart-casual wardrobes.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the waterproof integrity and longevity of your jacket. Always refer to the specific care label inside your garment for the most accurate instructions.

  • Washing: The jacket is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent specifically designed for waterproof garments, if available. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane.
  • Drying: Air dry the jacket flat or hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the fabric's membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  • Storage: When not in use, store your jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Re-proofing (Optional): Over time, the outer DWR finish may wear off. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, you may consider applying a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof breathable fabrics, following the product's instructions.
