kevin55 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 2 out of 5 stars. · a year ago Disappointed Bought this jacket earlier in the year but it only got its first hard rain test yesterday. Disappointing as not waterproof - both arms and cross the back leaked after 3 hours of rain. Ended up soaked to the skin and not sure about trusting it again ✘ No, I do not recommend this product.

12gauge82 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I nothing about this jacket, but I would never buy a jacket that doesn't have a hydrostatic head rating, it should be at least 5000mm although I prefer 10000-30000mm anything 5000mm or above will keep you dry no matter how much wind driven rain hits you.

Sussex gardener Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I've had a nightmare of a time with Barbour recently and had to resort to social media to get them to resolve the issues. It took daily phone calls for 6 weeks to get a resolution. They are not the company that they once were. I took a recommendation of a musto keeper from a pw member and it was the best bit of advice I have received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
