A good golf jacket is like a loyal friend. You can count on it when the weather gets bad.

Strong wind, heavy rain, chilly weather, or a mixture of all three- nothing can stop you from playing golf. The only thing that can stop you is the wrong golfing attire. 

Apart from regular polos and pants, a golfer must own a good golf jacket. Every pro golfer knows the importance of this outerwear and considers it a wardrobe staple. 

This ideal golf jacket doesn’t just keep you warm. It protects you from rain and wind while being breathable and roomy enough to let you swing your club properly. 

With so many brands launching new collections day in and out, it is impossible to make the right choice. Some are stylish but restrict movements, some are waterproof but not breathable, and some have all the features but cost too much.

Keeping all these issues in mind, we have put together a list of men’s golf jackets you should add to your collection. The best part is, the prices start from only £59, so you will probably find something that fits your budget.

The critics are pleased with Hydrotour’s overall design but there’s one feature they are appreciating the most- the dry seal collar.

In simpler words, the jacket has two collars- The first one molds alongside your neck while the second acts like a proper water seal thus preventing water from leaking into the outerwear.
