The DTE 3-layer waterproof storm jacket is the ultimate mountain bike jacket, but can just as easily become your most reliable and stylish commuter coat. DTE stands for 'Defy the Elements' and this jacket is built to take everything the elements can throw at it. It's made from a hard wearing, fully seam-sealed 3-layer fabric which ensures you stay dry without overheating.
Ultra waterproof, breathable fabric keeps the rain and wind out, whilst the adjustable helmet compatible hood has been designed to work perfectly with a peaked mountain bike helmet or your commuter lid. The hood stows away when not in use to avoid that 'parachute' effect!
Chest vents at the front easily allow you to keep your temperature comfortable, whilst generous waterproof zips on the chest and hand pockets keep the water away from your valuables.
Neatly hidden hem and hood draw cords are tucked out of the way to avoid irritation. The laser-cut 'breathe' panel at the top of the front zip helps you breathe easy when you're hiding from wind and rain. Finally, the silicone print over the shoulders helps keep your hydration backpacks securely in place.
- Fully waterproof and breathable (20,000)
- Seam-sealed 3-layer material
- Adjustable, storable helmet compatible hood
- Chest vents
- Waterproof zips
- Hidden hem and hood draw cords
- Silicon shoulder areas to keep backpack in place

Madison started as a company way back in 1977 as a small bike shop based in North West London. Since then, that single shop has evolved into one of the UK’s top distributors of bicycle parts and accessories, responsible for getting dozens of cycling brands to retailers.
Aside from all the other brands they sell, Madison's own brand of cycling kit has become one of the most trusted and widely-recognised names in cycling. Their original niche within the mountain biking world has broadened to cover all cycling disciplines, including road, commuting and touring - and their commitment to female cycling has accelerated so fast that eventually we could no longer resist!
Madison gear is hard wearing, well priced and beautifully designed too, with a strong, feminine design thread running through the whole range. It's great kit at great prices.
We aim to dispatch all orders within 2-3 working days, often sooner. Within the UK we use Royal Mail's Tracked service - you will receive a tracking code with your order once it is shipped.
Next Day Delivery (guaranteed by 12pm with Royal Mail) is available on some products when ordered before 1pm. This option will be shown next to the specific product when available.
If your particular size is not shown, feel free to contact us by email at contact@velovixen.com. Please note some deliveries may take longer if we need to order a product in.
