FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The Barbour Baywick jacket is designed to be showerproof, meaning it offers protection against light to moderate rain. For heavy or prolonged rainfall, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I choose the right size?

The jacket features a regular fit. Refer to the size guide for Barbour jackets, considering that this is a size XXL. It is designed to allow for comfortable layering.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.

What does 'showerproof' mean?

Showerproof means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist water penetration from light to moderate rain showers. It is not designed to withstand prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

The frequency of re-proofing depends on usage and how often the jacket is washed. A good guideline is to re-proof it when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the surface, typically after several washes or a period of regular use.

Does the hood offer adjustable fit?

Yes, the jacket features a toggle hood, which allows you to adjust the fit for better coverage and to keep it secure in windy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading effectively on the fabric.

The jacket's water-repellent finish may need to be reapplied. Follow the instructions on a suitable reproofing product for nylon garments.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little mild soap and water. Allow to dry and try again. You can also use a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant on the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels damp on the inside after moderate use.

While showerproof, the jacket is not fully waterproof. In prolonged or heavy rain, some moisture may penetrate. Ensure the hood and collar are properly adjusted for maximum protection. Consider a more waterproof garment for heavy downpours.
