Does my fighter have to wear light armor to keep his barbarian uncanny dodge feat?

And what constitutes light armor, obviously leather but does chain or anything else qualify as light?

Do barbarians get uncanny dodge? not according to the manual, only rogues get it according to the manuall, but i'll check in game. But anyways since it doesn't say that you must wear light armor I would assume that it would work with any armor.

light armor = leather, studded leather, hide armor. Might be more just right click on the armor and look, it will say what armor it is.

Clarifications
Yes Barbs do get uncanny dodge
Leather and Studded Leather armors are light, Hide is medium
and no you don't have to wear light armor to take advantage of Uncanny Dodge.

And how about the extra speed, you mantain it in any armour?

Can't remember on that one. This may be wrong but I think you lose the speed bonus in heavy armor.
