Discover Dirtlej at BIKE24 – MTB apparel built for muddy rides

Dirt, mud, grime – call it what you like. Dirtlej makes gear for riding right through it. From fall adventures in the woods and winter rides on your local trails to muddy sessions with the kids, the brand specializes in MTB apparel for wet, messy conditions. Its motto? #nomoreexcuses. Dirtlej calls its signature Dirtsuit "the original", designed to keep you focused on the trail even when the weather turns nasty. The range also includes jackets and vests, pants, and eyewear. Bad weather doesn't have to mean a day off the bike. At BIKE24, you'll find Dirtlej gear for men and women, plus Dirtsuits for kids.

What drives Dirtlej – having fun in any weather

"See you outside" is Dirtlej's slogan, and the idea is simple: rain shouldn't keep you off your bike. The brand develops gear that does more than look good – it has to perform when conditions turn wet and cold. Dirtlej tests its products on the varied terrain around its headquarters on the border of Germany, Switzerland, and France. Rather than releasing seasonal collections, the brand introduces improvements as soon as they've been tested. Its commitment extends beyond the ride, too. Dirtlej offers a local repair service in Germany and partners with I:CO, a company that collects, sorts, and processes used clothing and footwear. You can send products you no longer use back to Dirtlej for reuse or recycling.

Explore the Dirtlej range – from Dirtsuits to Bike Wraps

Dirtlej was founded on a simple belief: mud, rain, and dirt shouldn't stop you from riding. The brand is best known for its MTB Dirtsuits – one-piece riding suits built to handle seriously muddy trails. Waterproof membranes, ventilation openings, reinforced seams, and removable legs on selected editions help keep you protected and comfortable. What started with the Dirtsuit has grown into a full range of riding gear, including jackets, vests, and pants for riders who prefer layering. You'll also find stylish eyewear, bike protection for transport, and care products to maintain your gear's water repellency.

  • Dirtsuits: One-piece riding suits for men, women, and kids, available in Core, SFD, Pro, and Prime Editions. Selected models feature removable legs.
  • Jackets and vests: Weathershield rain jackets, softshell jackets, and vests for men and women, designed to keep you comfortable in cold, wet conditions.
  • Pants: Trailscout pants and shorts in various lengths, including the Waterproof version for wet conditions.
  • Eyewear: Specs 01, 02, and 03, with selected models featuring photochromic lenses that automatically adjust to changing light conditions.
  • Bike protection: Bike Wraps for mountain, gravel, and road bikes, plus protective packages for transporting e-bikes.
  • Care products: Wash It detergent and Spray It waterproofing spray to clean your technical apparel and restore its water repellency.

Dirtlej technologies – built to handle rain and mud

Dirtlej develops and refines its technology where it matters most – out on the trails. The team tests products around its headquarters near the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and France, continuously incorporating improvements into existing gear. The brand also organizes guided bike trips to destinations such as Liguria and the Ortler region. Its technical focus is on waterproof membranes, seam construction, water-repellent treatments, and ventilation. The goal is to keep you protected in rain and mud, comfortable as temperatures rise, and free to move on the bike.

  • Three-layer membrane: The Core Edition V6.1 has a 20,000 mm waterproof rating and, according to the manufacturer, allows 15,000 g of water vapor per m² to escape over 24 hours.
  • Seam construction: The SFD Edition v.4.0 features fully sealed seams to prevent water from entering through the stitching.
  • PFC-free DWR: This water-repellent treatment helps water bead off the fabric and can easily be refreshed using Dirtlej's own spray.

Frequently asked questions about Dirtlej apparel


Can Dirtlej apparel be repaired?

Yes. According to Dirtlej, the brand offers repairs through a local service in Germany. Submit a request with photos of the damage, and you'll receive a quote that includes reproofing and return shipping. In most cases, you'll get your gear back in around 14 business days. A tear after a crash doesn't have to mean the end of your Dirtsuit – repairing it can keep it on the trails for many more rides.

How do I care for my Dirtlej apparel?

Taking care of your Dirtlej gear is straightforward and helps maintain its water repellency. The manufacturer recommends washing at a maximum of 30 °C with a detergent designed for technical apparel, using a spin speed of no more than 400 rpm. Avoid fabric softener to protect the membrane. After washing, air-dry your gear or tumble-dry it on low heat, then reapply a water-repellent treatment as needed. You can pick up Dirtlej's Wash It detergent and Spray It waterproofing spray along with your gear.

Straight Cut or Loose Cut – which fit is right for me?

Many Dirtlej Dirtsuits and full-length Trailscout pants come in two fits. Straight Cut offers a regular fit, while Loose Cut provides more room around the chest, waist, and hips, with a slightly shorter length. If you like wearing extra layers or protective gear underneath, Loose Cut is a good choice. Pro tip: Take your body measurements and check the size chart on our product pages before ordering.
