Dhb Aeron Rain Defence Bib Tight

dhb Aeron Rain Defence Bib Tight

The dhb Aeron Rain Defence Bib Tights are engineered to keep out water as you cycle, using a brand new Schoeller® PU foam waterproof and windproof fabric that still retains an incredibly level of breathability when compared to standard waterproof fabrics. 

Schoeller® Fabric Technology

The usual way to make a waterproof fabric is to use a laminated construction using a membrane between a face and inner fabric. This does achieve excellent waterproof performance but flexibility and breathability suffer – not so great for cycling garments.

dhb has worked with Schoeller® to create tights that are incredibly waterproof but are far superior in flexibility and breathability. This has been made possible using PU foam as an alternative to a standard membrane. PU foam is a unique bonding process which enables the dhb 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. This slight air-permeability speeds moisture transfer allowing you to ride at higher intensities and still remain sweat free.

Schoeller® Nanosphere® Water Repellent Treatment

It’s not just the innovative construction of the PU foam that makes the Aeron Rain Defence so good, it’s also the addition of a NanoSphere® treatment. This prevents water from soaking into the tights and so creates extra comfort when cycling in the rain. 

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.

New Elastic Interface® Paris HP Chamois

A new pad from Italian chamois maestros, the Elastic Interface® Paris HP Chamois features ultra-high density foams used in key pressure zones to provide the finest comfort for rides of any distance, from short to long. Three densities of foam are utilised to create a pad that is extremely comfortable but has a surprising lack of bulk.
