dhb Aeron Rain Defence Polartec JacketDesigned for those days that just can't decide if it's rain or sun, cold or mild, dhb's Aeron Rain Defence Polartec Jacket will keep you wonderfully protected in a wide variety of cycling conditions.Polartec® Power Shield® Pro: breathable weather protectionThe use of Polartec® Power Shield® Pro is what gives the Aeron Rain Defence its amazing degree of versatility. It's a softshell fabric that manages to balance the conflicting needs of weather protection and breathability. While keeping out rain and wind, ordinary performance fabrics can suffer poor breathability, not so Power Shield® Pro. Highly wind and water resistant, it's also extremely breathable so it can handle rides where terrain, effort and weather conditions vary wildly, regulating temperature so you never feel damp and clammy inside. Three season performance allows you to get outside and ride, no matter what the weather has in store.Evolved fitWhile previous versions fit very well, dhb saw areas for improvement. An increase in stretch gives the jacket a closer more aero fit but still maintains it's highly regarded level of comfort and excellent freedom of movement. A high collar provides a cosy seal up top, while the dropped tail provides protection from rear wheel spray.Wet Weather DetailsPockets that work in wet weather are a rare thing, but if you can’t use them, you’re going to get hungry and not enjoy your ride. dhb have built a flap over the pockets to keep your kit protected, but this has enough stretch to allow for easy access. The central pocket is designed for your pump, keeping it out of the way from the bits you need more often. A zip pocket keeps valuables safe.A Versatile Foul Weather JacketIt’s called Rain Defence for a reason, but because it’s so breathable and good at regulating temperature, you can wear this jacket on cool and cold rides in dry conditions too. Recommended for use in temperatures between 8-14 Celsius, with the right base layer it can handle temperatures either side of that with ease.NEW Aeron Rain DefenceCompletely redeveloped over two years, the new Aeron Rain Defence Collection takes protection from the rain, road spray and other foul weather to the next level, but also works well when the rain stops. Using technologies from the World's leading fabric mills, this new collection is a massive leap forward for dhb.Working with customer feedback from previous versions, dhb have significantly improved the fit, versatility and breathability of this jacket, meaning it can be worn across a greater range of conditions.

dhb Aeron Womens Rain Defence Bib ShortsA completely new development from dhb, this is the Aeron Women's Rain Defence Bib Tight reborn into a highly technical and incredibly flexible weatherproof tight, designed to keep water out and you comfortable. Powered by Schoeller fabric technology.Completely redeveloped over two years, the new Aeron Rain Defence Collection takes protection from the rain, road spray and other foul weather to the next level. Using technologies from the World's leading fabric mills, this new collection is a massive leap forward for dhb.PU Foam Replaces the Traditional MembraneMaking a fabric truly waterproof usually means sandwiching a laminated membrane between two other fabrics. This makes very protective fabrics, but the compromise is a lack of flexibility and breathability – two things you need when making cycling legwear.Working with Schoeller®, dhb have utilised PU foam as an alternative weatherproof option.PU foam is a unique bonding process which enables our winter bib tight fabrics to have the right level of windproofing, water resistance, breathability and stretch. Whereas a laminated fabric construction would completely block wind flow through the fabric, the dhb PU foam bonded fabrics block the wind but also allows a small amount of air to pass through the fabric. For winter cycling tights intended to be ridden at a higher intensity, this means more breathability and more comfort.Another benefit of PU foam construction is that it offers a much higher level of fabric stretch than a laminated alternative. Once again this means much more comfort and a better fit.Schoeller® Nanosphere® Water Repellent Treatmentdhb Rain Defence tights use NanoSphere®, a class-leading fabric treatment that prevents rain and road spray from saturating the fabric's exterior. This first line of defence prevents the fabric from becoming waterlogged, ensuring you stay warm, dry and comfortable.Developed by Schoeller - a global leader in fabric innovation and advanced technology - NanoSphere® is an advanced DWR finish that provides a natural self-cleaning effect and an extremely high level of water and dirt repellency. NanoSphere® is one of the most durable water repellency fabric treatments available. The finish lasts for up to 50 washes at 40°C, and with the right care will remain effective long after, even after serious use and frequent washing.After extended use and washing, the function can be reactivated by heat treatment, either in the dryer or by ironing on a low heat setting. Ensure that the garments are rinsed thoroughly after the wash cycle, and do not use fabric softener.New Elastic Interface® Paris HP ChamoisThe new Paris HP is the latest development from Elastic Interface®, the Italian experts whose unparalleled knowledge and experience go into making the best chamois in cycling.The Paris HP Pad features ultra-high density foam inserts under the sit bones to ensure a comfortable ride all day long. Rated as good for rides over 7 hours in length, three separate densities of foam have been used to ensure comfort, while also reducing the overall bulk of the pad.Features:Materials: 48% Polyester, 37% Polyamide, 15% ElastaneInnovative Schoeller® PU foam waterproof windproof fabricSchoeller® Nanosphere® Water Repellent TreatmentNew Elastic Interface® Paris HP ChamoisHighly breathableHigh level of stretch for maximum mobilitySuper-stretch lay flat bib-strapsBuy dhb Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles.
