20,000 mm Waterproof Protection for Wet Weather Mountain Biking
The Madison DTE 3 Layer Women’s Waterproof Trousers feature waterproof fabric with fully taped seams to help prevent rain and trail spray entering through the material and stitching. Their 20,000 mm waterproof rating provides a high level of protection during wet-weather rides, while the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish helps water bead on the outer fabric. Wind-resistant construction also helps reduce the cooling effect of strong winds, particularly on exposed trails and long descents.
40,000 g/m Breathability for Active Riding
With a breathability rating of 40,000 g/m/24 hours, the Madison DTE Women’s Waterproof Trousers are designed to allow moisture vapour to escape while maintaining protection against external rain. This helps manage moisture build-up during sustained efforts, making them suitable for climbing, technical trail riding and longer mountain bike adventures where comfort and weather protection are equally important.
Four-Way Stretch and Articulated Women’s Fit
The four-way stretch fabric allows freedom of movement when pedalling, climbing and descending. An articulated cut with pre-curved knees follows the rider’s position on the bike, helping reduce restriction during dynamic movements. The trousers are designed to accommodate compatible knee pads while remaining comfortable for riders who prefer not to wear additional protection.
Quick-Adjust Ratchet Waistband
A ratchet waist closure allows small, precise adjustments to help achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Designed to be operated even when wearing gloves, the system makes it easier to adjust the waistband during a ride without needing to remove your riding equipment.
Secure Zipped Pockets and Reflective Details
Two front-facing zipped pockets with mesh lining provide convenient storage for smaller riding essentials. Reflective branding helps improve visibility to other road users when illuminated in low-light conditions, adding a useful feature for rides that include roads or urban environments.
Who Are the Madison DTE Women’s Waterproof Trousers For?
The Madison DTE 3 Layer Women’s Waterproof Trousers are ideal for mountain bikers looking for dependable wet-weather protection without sacrificing freedom of movement. Their combination of waterproof construction, high breathability, four-way stretch and knee pad compatibility makes them particularly suitable for trail riding, enduro mountain biking and longer off-road adventures in challenging conditions.
