Barbour Stowaway jacket

Does anyone own a Barbour Stowaway jacket who could comment on its
robustness and waterproof reliability. I'm thinking of getting one.

TIA

Not sure about the Stonaway jacket, but I purchased the Bushman jacket first
week of December 2003 have to say best jacket I have ever owned quality is
first class warm and totally water proof. If the 1 you are looking at is has
good you will have a jacket for life.

I bought one of the stowaways when they came out and found it to be
totally plastic in feel and not at all what I'd come to expect of
Barbour. They are only superficially like the original durham and the
lining to the sleeves was longer than the sleevesm meaning that it slid
down over your hands from under the cuffs. I would not for one minute
think that it would be as hard wearing as an original Durham and felt
that I had paid good money for a plastic mac!
In the end I bought a Barbour Mayfly and am more than pleased with it.
