I am in the market for an outdoors jacket. One I can wear around town but also that will be usable on a cold/wet day when out in the country and the wife has recommended Barbour to me.
On popping into one of their stores it seems one of their wax jackets would do the job and they seem well made but not cheap £250.
I just wondered if they are worth it or would I be better off getting one of the other brands like North face, mountain equipment etc.
The Barbour’s seem to need looking after and re waxing every few years and i know they are an outdoor brand but seem to have become quite popular and as a mate said a bit "Essex".
Not that I mind so long as it is going to do the job.
Any thoughts
