dhb Aeron Polartec Alpha Gilet Review

• dhb Aeron Alpha Direct GiletUsing Polartec® Alpha® Direct fabric, the dhb Aeron Alpha Direct Gilet packs in incredible warmth with minimal bulk, backed up by class-leading breathability. It’s the best choice for cycling in cold and fickle weather conditions. Gilets are a great choice to add some extra core protection from wind and showers but there are times when a touch more warmth would also be welcome – which is where the Aeron Alpha Direct Gilet comes in. It’s lightweight and easily packed in a jersey pocket but the Polartec® Alpha® Direct gives you extra insulation without compromising breathability.Powered by Polartec® Alpha® Direct – lightweight and versatile thermal regulation.Polartec® Alpha® Direct is a highly technical fabric technology that is designed to perfectly regulate temperature when conditions are changeable. This makes it ideally suited to cycling where weather changes can be rapid, temperatures change as you climb and descend and speeds can go from slow to fast. Alpha® Direct has evolved from the original Alpha technology, removing the need for extra fabric inside which results in vastly improved moisture management. Alpha® Direct sees the loft fibres get a new size and shape allowing it to sit next to other fabric layers, boosting breathability, improving comfort and reducing weight. Polartec® Alpha® Direct regulates warmth, is extremely breathable, drys fast, packs down small and is incredibly durable. The perfect technology for bike riding.Windproof ProtectionWhile you’ll enjoy the lightweight warmth of the insulation it’s not just that which adds comfort to your ride. dhb have used a windproof outer layer, complete with DWR water-repellent finish, to really lock in body heat and keep the elements at bay. Mesh panels under the arm ensure extra breathability while a full-length zip is easily used to let in airflow for harder efforts.Finishing touchesGood gilets have usable pockets. The Aeron Alpha Direct has 4: three large cargo pockets, and a zipped one for valuables. Reflective details are also a must. dhb have included a central rear reflective, along with a rear strip across the top of the pockets and a reflective dhb logo on the front of the gilet. Subtle touches to help you be seen out on the road. The Aeron System and fit.Designed with the same fit as the dhb Aeron collection, this gilet has a performance fit, built for having a mid-weight jersey underneath. The perfect companion is the dhb Aeron Equinox Long Sleeve Jersey, an early season jersey that can be ridden into winter with a gilet like this. Features:Body Material: 87% Polyester, 13% ElastaneSleeve: 85% Polyamide, 15% ElastanePolartec® Alpha® Direct lining for perfect thermal regulationIncredibly BreathableWindproof outer fabric with DWRUnderarm Mesh fabricThree rear mesh pocketsYKK zip pocket for valuablesFull-length YKK zipReflective rear details and dhb logoHigh collar for added warmthSilicone gripper along bottom hemBuy dhb Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.

As with many cyclists, be it mountain bikers, BMX riders or road cyclists we want to take the time to make sure we get the best products. Where cycling is a passion for many we often invest a lot of our time and money into the hobby. And as we know, getting the right products can give us that small competitive advantage either over our actual competitors, our mates or even just beating our own goals. But because we do invest so much in our bikes and our equipment it’s really important to buy from recognised retailers, in our most recent search, we found many products available online for ridiculously (almost laughable) prices. They were just so low that alarm bells should instantly be ringing. That’s why we only recommend buying from the retailers that you really know and trust, names like Wiggle, Chain Reaction and Evans Cycles are just some of those that we use regularly. With these retailers you know you’re in safe hands and can expect great service, great returns policies and if anything was to go wrong great customer service under a warranty claim.
