Now that I've got mine I use it every weekend! I especially like it if the weather in London is not so nice because it is waterproof. Regardless of the cost and link to Bond, I figure Barbour jackets are built tough and meant to be used in way worse weather than I go out in.

Others have said it before me, but it is a warm and comfortable jacket, so definitely trying to get my money's worth out of it

I had mine long before Skyfall and I use it in the field regularly in temperate climates. It's a bit battered and scuffed from pushing through brambles and being used as a sit mat, but it's still a good looking coat. Worn it in the rain loads. Not as good as Gore-tex or ventile, but it does the job when the weather is mild.

Definitely, yes!!
Gave mine a thorough test in n Atlantic storm hitting North Cornwall!
Had to reattach the hood for that one!!

I've been wearing mine a lot, great jacket!!!

Yep, fantastic jacket for taking the dog out in the rain, or just in cool, misty weather. Incredibly warm for how light is it.

I wouldn't risk it. It doesn't say rainproof anywhere on mine. Or is 'german rain' a euphemism for the strange antics you get up to at night.

Wear it a lot
, almost every day lately depending on weather, used more often than the BillyReid

Is "sit mat" also a euphemism or a misspelling too?

tardis1711

Wearing mine in any weather. Not paid £400 for it to sit in a wardrobe for most of the time.
Barbours should last for many many years.

jon_1uk

well you certainly know you are wearing it, because it is fitted if you know what i mean..
its horrible drizzle out there but i kept lovely warm and dry...fantastic bit of kit...
wore my clark's lodge boots aswell for the first time...

Hey, what do you mean with "misspelling too"? Mocking on my crap english?
And shouldn't there be a "," in front of "too"?

I simply copied the term from his previous post, so if, it's his misspelling

Asp9mm

I use mine for hunting Bondtots. Next time he's in Blighty, he's gonna get two caps in his ass :v

It is storming here in Switzerland a beauty and the jacket is great for warmth and against the rain, I have been doing a fair bit of walking and a touch of climbing and have found that after prolonged use it soaks on the inside and does not dry easy less you pull it inside out. Leads me to believe that it doesn't allow the body to breathe much. Anyone else had the same effect?

Higgins

Waxed cotton is very waterproof, but does not breathe.

The only way to let your body breathe are some holes or flaps in the jacket construction - best and most effective, also with Goretex clothing is to open the zipper for some seconds

The waterairtight construction has one more good thing in the case of Asp9mm: He smells far less unless the zippers all remain closed

yeah was starting to get that feeling. I take it off when i am inside but have to turn it inside out to dry.

That is great news for Asp, does he really smell that bad?

Higgins

You know the smell of a fish which is forgotten in the keel of a boat for 6 months?

It's much like that

Well, I gave up hope some years ago
Regarding the Dalton Misty-Eyed Fan Club:

It#s a very exclusive club which's mission is to bring out the truth that Dalton was the weakest Bond of all times. It's a counter-movement to the usual fanboys praising him hard-edged because he read some books.
If you watch his movies closely, you'll realize that he breaks out in tears very often:
When he's sad, when he's happy, when he's angry, when he's loosing his licence, when he's popping a balloon and everytime that he sees Kara.

Our membership count rose by 100% last week.

Sir Miles is my vice-president and does all the dirty work. I am there for finances and fiancees

Just contact me if you want to join.

I wore mine to work one day and it just so happens a scumbag sticks a knife through it. Lucky for me my body armour stopped it from doing any more damage.

Oh well, it's off to Barbour for repairs, but at least it's a real "action" jacket now.

Well don't have to be a bouncer to experience that.

Asp9mm for example simply being him - attracting so much hate and disgust - happens to him almost on a daily basis
