Dirtlej Dirtsuit Core Edition one-piece suit with long legs for women in dark blue
Autumn and winter on the MTB often mean mud and rain. Typically, that requires layer upon layer. However, it can be made easier. With a jumpsuit like this one from Dirtlej, you put on a good base layer, then the suit on top, and off you go. When you get back home, it's easy to take off the suit without dragging the entire forest floor into the hallway - or into the car, for that matter. It's priceless!
Dirtlej produces some of the best weather protection you can find, and of course, it's in the high quality that Germans are known for.
With a dirtsuit, you avoid mud and water getting where it shouldn't be, such as at the edge between your pants and jacket.
The dirtsuit is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, made of robust material so you don't have to worry about the elements.
The waterproof rating is 18000mm.
The zippers are waterproof.
This edition has been updated with some great features compared to the previous models in the Core series.
The pockets have been angled to make them less obstructive when cycling, and the durability between the legs and on the contact surface with the saddle has been reinforced.
Additionally, cuffs have been added at the wrists to shield against wind that can sneak in through the sleeves.
This loose fit version fits more loosely than the regular one.
Ventilation
To prevent overheating while wearing your dirtsuit, there are plenty of ventilation options.
Under the arms, there is a long zipper that allows a lot of air to enter.
On the front above the waist, there is a zipper on each side to let in a bit of air.
On the side of each leg, there is another ventilation opening.
At the top of the back, you'll find a ventilation opening that is always open.
Adjustability and Adjustments
You can adjust your dirtsuit with Velcro at the sleeves, legs, and waist to get the best fit for you.
The hood can be adjusted both around the edge and at the back to keep it away from your face.
The hood can also be folded away completely with the built-in flap inside the jacket. When folded, the hood rests around the neck, so it won't be in the way.
Pockets
There are pockets at the front by the legs, which can be used for items like a phone, keys, or energy bars.
On the chest, there is a single pocket for smaller items.
At the back, there are two pockets that close with Velcro.
The last pocket can be found on the left arm and is handy if you're riding in areas with lifts, as you can keep your lift pass there.
Additional Details
The back is extra reinforced where it makes contact with the saddle. There is also reinforcement on the inside by the ankle.
The Dirtsuit Core edition is made of an even more robust material than the Dirtsuit Classic Edition, making it more like a shell jacket than the Classic edition. This means it is even more durable against both the elements and wear.
At the waist on the back, there is a wide pleat that increases your freedom of movement. This way, you won't feel restricted when you need to perform your best in the woods.
The hood can accommodate a helmet inside, so you're ready for the wettest and muddiest days.
There are reflective details in some places.
Dirtsuit should be washed at 30 degrees and spun at low speeds.
Do not tumble dry. You may want to re-impregnate it after washing.
The Core Edition is large in size, so there is room for extra clothing underneath.
If you want a slightly tighter fit, you can go down one size from what you normally use.
