Idea

A differentiable vector bundle is a vector bundle in the context of differential geometry: a differentiably varying collection of vector space over a given differentiable manifold.

All this for some specified degree of differentiability. If one demands arbitrary differentiabiliy then one speaks of smooth vector bundles over smooth manifolds.

Examples

For XX a differentiable manifold, then its tangent bundle TXXT X \to X is a differentiable vector bundle, see this lemma.
