ATTACK THE ELEMENTS WITH RAIN DEFENCE

dhb’s wet-weather range will keep you dry throughout the winter and beyond

If you ask most cyclists what winter riding means, their imaginations will probably conjure up crisp frosts, blue sky and snug thermal kit. Unfortunately, the reality will, in fact, more than likely be a wet one.

Last year, the UK had nearly 150 rain days, with the wettest months at the start and end of the year. Add to this Met Office records showing that of the 17 record-breaking rainfall months since 1910, nine of them have been since 2000, and the chances of riding your bike in the rain in winter are pretty high.

But with clouds holding warm air near to the ground, wet conditions also mean warmer temperatures, and combined with the physical exertion from cycling, you’ll find yourself operating at an intensity that overpowers most waterproof/breathable fabrics.

Driven by the changing climate and using the latest fabric technology, the design and development team at dhb has spent two years in research and testing to engineer a range of cycling apparel that takes account of the need for real-world riding protection from foul weather and road spray, while keeping you warm and dry on the inside.

Powered by global leaders in fabric technology, dhb has partnered with Polartec® and Schoeller®, to completely revolutionise wet-weather riding with the Aeron Rain Defence collection, one of the most technically advanced ranges of cycling clothing.
