dhb Aeron Polartec Alpha Gilet features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Gilets – Cycle. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of dhb Aeron Polartec Alpha Gilet.

The first thing is material. Looking at what dhb Aeron Polartec Alpha Gilet is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Gilets – Cycle. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Gilets – Cycle. Brands like dhb are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Gilets – Cycle category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

• Description: 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.
