Outdoor-ready waterproofs sit in a crowded space, competing with budget hiking shells from Trespass, Regatta and Decathlon’s own Quechua range. This DLX Montgomery men’s jacket aims at that same everyday hillwalking and dog-walking niche, with a focus on weather protection and simple practicality rather than technical mountain features.

Who is this jacket for?

If you want a jacket that can handle changeable UK showers without feeling overly bulky, the zip-off hood is the main draw. Keep it attached for windy, wet commutes or weekend walks, then remove it when you want a cleaner fit. Zip pockets matter more than they sound, they keep keys and phone secure when you are moving, and help stop things slipping out when you sit down or bend over.

• Zip-off hood, useful for adapting to the forecast and reducing flapping in calmer weather.
• Zipped pockets, better for carrying essentials securely on walks and travel.
• Sizes available, Medium or Large.
