Anyone got one? There seems to be a few different versions from years passed. I'm looking at the new incarnation which claims 20/40k breathable/ waterproof with the vents in the sides.
I'm trying to avoid another 'what waterproof' type thread. Being stretchy and with huge vents, the DTE is looking good so far.
I guess it's main rival on paper is the Endura MT500 which according to a lot of what I've read on forums etc seems to either be excellent, or excellent and then falls apart.
I can't find any reviews online for the DTE so maybe it's a bit early for any real feedback?
I really rate the DTE stuff, can't comment on the new range though ,I know Endura are t supposed to be as waterproof since they switched to environmentally friendly manufacturing though .
I have an old style DTE and an MT500. Despite buying the endura to replace the DTE when it was a couple of years old the DTE is in much better condition even with much more use.
i got the endura to replace the Maddison as the fit was odd. The cuffs are really tight so the rain goes straight inside you gloves and the neck is really baggy so rain and cold gets in there. That was the old version with pit vents, the new version may be better.
If Maddison made jackets to endura’s designs it would be perfect!
Edit: the Maddison has been perfectly waterproof even in horrendous conditions (apart from via the gaping neck).
