Waterproof and Breathable Protection
DRYShield™ technology creates a waterproof and breathable barrier designed to help keep rain out while allowing internal moisture vapour to escape.
Combined with a PFC-free finish, it provides dependable protection during changeable winter weather, wet dog walks and long days spent outdoors.
100g PrimaLoft® Insulation
The Barrowmere contains 100g PrimaLoft® Black Insulation Eco, providing effective warmth without the excessive weight of a heavily padded coat.
It is designed to offer substantial warmth in very cold conditions while remaining comfortable for walking, travelling and everyday outdoor activities.
AriatTEK® Performance
AriatTEK® technology incorporates performance features designed to help maintain comfort as weather conditions change.
Together with breathable waterproofing and lightweight insulation, it makes the Barrowmere a versatile option for cold, wet and windy days.
Cotton-Look Outer Fabric
The outer shell is made from a durable blend of 59% organic cotton and 41% nylon.
This fabric provides the natural appearance and soft handle of cotton while delivering the durability and weather protection required from a practical winter parka.
Silky Quilted Lining
A silky quilted lining creates a smooth, comfortable interior and helps keep the insulation evenly distributed throughout the coat.
The smooth finish also makes the parka easier to layer over shirts, knitwear, fleeces and other winter clothing.
Roomy Layering Fit
The Barrowmere has a roomy fit designed to leave space for additional layers underneath.
Choose your usual size for the intended relaxed silhouette. If you prefer a closer fit or plan to wear only lightweight layers, compare your bust measurement carefully with the size guide.
Versatile Country Styling
The understated Malt colour and cotton-look shell create a smart country appearance that can be dressed up or down.
Wear it with outdoor trousers and country boots for winter walks, or pair it with knitwear, jeans and Chelsea boots for everyday outings.
