Is the Barbour Polarquilt warm enough for winter?

It works well as a mid-layer in cold weather, especially under a jacket. On its own it suits cool spring and fall days rather than deep winter.

How does it fit compared with a regular vest?

It runs slim through the body. If you plan to wear it over a sweater, go up one size.

No. Barbour specifies hand washing at 30 degrees, so a machine cycle risks the quilting and lining.

Yes, it has zip pockets. The two-way zip also lets you open the hem when sitting.

No. The quilted shell sheds light drizzle at best, so wear a waterproof layer in rain.

A quilted synthetic shell with polyester fleece lining and synthetic filling; the wool content varies by version, so check the label.
