FAQs

What type of weather is this cape best for?

The Barbour Showerproof Cape is best for light rain, drizzle, and breezy conditions. It's designed for transitional weather and offers protection against light moisture.

Can I wear this cape in heavy rain?

While it offers showerproof protection, it is not designed for heavy or prolonged rainfall. For severe weather, a fully waterproof garment would be more appropriate.

How do I clean the cape?

It is recommended to wipe the cape clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning methods.

What is the 'heritage outerwear style' mentioned in the description?

Heritage outerwear style refers to classic, traditional designs that have been a hallmark of the Barbour brand for many years, often incorporating elements like tartan patterns and durable, functional fabrics.

Is this cape warm enough for winter?

The cape is primarily designed for weather protection rather than insulation. It is ideal for layering, so you can add warmer clothing underneath, but it doesn't provide significant warmth on its own for very cold winter days.

How should I care for the showerproof coating?

To maintain the showerproof finish, avoid excessive washing. Wipe clean as needed. For optimal care, ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.

What does 'transitional weather' mean for this product?

Transitional weather refers to the periods between seasons, such as spring and autumn, when temperatures can fluctuate and rainfall is common. The cape is well-suited for these conditions.

Troubleshooting

Cape feels damp after use in light rain.

Ensure the cape is fully dry before storing. If it becomes saturated, hang it to air dry completely. For persistent dampness, check for any damage to the showerproof coating.

Tartan pattern appears faded.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Store the cape away from direct light when not in use.

Cape is too large/small (outside of expected drape).

This is a cape design, meant to drape. If fit is a concern, consider other Barbour outerwear styles designed for a more tailored fit. This specific item is size L.
