The durable nylon-based outer fabric offers excellent resistance to the demands of off-road riding, while the fluorocarbon-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish helps water bead and roll off the surface.

How to Measure

Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, keeping the measuring tape comfortably snug without pulling it too tightly.

Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, keeping the tape horizontal.

Inside Leg: Measure from the top of your inner thigh down to your ankle to determine the most suitable leg length.

Fit Advice

The Madison DTE 3-Layer Waterproof Bib Trousers feature a relaxed but not baggy fit, designed to provide maximum comfort and freedom of movement during mountain biking.

The adjustable shoulder straps allow riders to fine-tune the fit, while the stretch fabric and articulated knees provide excellent flexibility when pedalling and navigating technical terrain.

The extended bib section offers additional coverage around the waist and lower back, making these trousers particularly suitable for wet-weather riding.

For riders planning to wear thicker thermal layers or protective knee pads underneath, consider sizing up if you fall between sizes.

Please note: These are general body measurements rather than actual garment dimensions. The leg-length options are nominal sizing categories. The Madison DTE 3-Layer Waterproof Bib Trousers are available in sizes S–XXL.

Care Instructions

  • Machine wash at a maximum temperature of 30°C.

  • Do not bleach.

  • Do not tumble dry.

  • Do not iron.

  • Do not dry clean.

  • Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can affect the waterproof fabric and DWR coating.

  • Wash with similar colours.

  • Allow the trousers to air dry naturally.

  • Periodically reproof the outer fabric using a suitable waterproof clothing treatment to maintain water repellency.

The Madison DTE 3-Layer Waterproof Bib Trousers feature fully waterproof fabric and construction. However, the pocket zips are highly water-resistant rather than completely waterproof, so valuable electronics should be stored in an additional waterproof pouch during prolonged heavy rain.
