dhb Aeron Tempo Waterproof Jacket

Whether it’s a fast paced blast in pouring rain, or having the flexibility of a high performance packable waterproof on changeable days, this lightweight shell is designed to handle whatever the weather throws your way.

The tailored fit is combined with a high performance 2.5 layer fabric to give a ‘no compromise’ lightweight road shell – this new jacket (along with the Storm) is the result of twelve months of development and testing.

The Tempo’s fabric has a slight stretch for close fitting comfort and has a waterproof rating of 20,000mm (with breathability listed at 15,000g/m²/24hrs) giving great performance. Under-arm venting and an adjustable hem let you control your temperature when working hard.

At just over 200g (size medium) the Tempo is packable and easy to carry with you in your jersey pocket, making this a waterproof jacket which treads the line well between low weight and durability.

dhb Aeron Storm Waterproof Jacket

If you’re heading out on a training session in the rain then you’re likely to be in your jacket for the entire ride – often leading to discomfort. However. by using 37.5™ Technology, the new dhb Aeron Storm waterproof is designed to help keep you in your performance sweetspot. So what is 37.5™ Technology?

First of all, 37.5% is the optimum relative humidity in your microclimate for comfort and performance, while 37.5°C is the ideal core body temperature for comfort and performance.

37.5 active particle technology captures and releases moisture vapour to maintain the optimum relative humidity in your microclimate, which helps your body maintain an ideal core temperature. The result? Increased comfort and enhanced performance. Leave your jacket on for the entire ride…

The Aeron Storm uses a 2.5 layer fabric with fully taped waterproof seams and a YKK Aquaguard Vislon main zip to keep out the weather. It’s not a heavyweight jacket but at 348g (size medium) is touch bulkier than the Aeron Tempo waterproof, and offers more protection from the element. Plus it’s competitively priced for such a high-spec waterproof shell.

Men’s sizes: XS – XXL, Women’s sizes: 8 – 16
Price: £125 (available mid October)

dhb Aeron Full Protection Softshell

Is this the ultimate winter softshell? It certainly is dhb’s most advanced and protective style yet. This Aeron FP Softshell is a windproof and water resistant jacket featuring a brushed back softshell fabric to keep you insulated in cold, winter riding conditions.

You’ll also find a rear drop tail that provides welcome protection against road spray on those wetter days if you’re riding without mudguards. A silicone hem gripper and ergonomically shaped cuffs seal in the warmth and keep out the elements.

With a tailored cut and a broad range of sizes the fit of this dhb jacket will accommodate most riders comfortably.

The CyTech Elastic Interface Comp HP seat pad is up there with the best. A multi-density foam core with a highly breathable and quick drying face fabric ensures great comfort over high mileage.
