Vaeon Roubaix Padded Bib Short
All legwear in the Vaeon Roubaix range uses 235g Lombardia Lycra Fabric. The fabric is made from 85% Nylon and 15% Elastane, making it a strong compressive fabric, with luxurious hand-feel. The fabric face in contact with the skin has been precision brushed to create a Roubaix finish. This means the inside is fleecy and soft to touch. These brushed fibres trap a layer of air between the fabric and skin, which acts as an insulation barrier between busy warm legs and the cold fresh air. This fabric is suited for general UK Winter conditions but not extreme cold.

A Roubaix bib short is a popular choice amongst the professional pelotons – they use them in the tough conditions of the Spring Classics. For the dhb rider there are several options; wear them alone in high intensity rides where the temperature is cool but not cold (12-18degree Celsius), use a quality embrocation to add more warmth. Or wear the Roubaix shorts with knee warmers to convert them into a late Autumn or early Winter garment, great for Sportives in temperature range 10-20 degrees Celcius. Another option is to wear the Roubaix bibshorts under wiast or bib tights too add more warmth in coldest weather.

The Vaeon Roubaix has taken the Pace Roubaix fitting block and improved it. The Vaeon Roubaix is now snugger and more form fitting. The fit has been sharpened around the backside and behind the knees. The anatomical form fit is snug around the body without excess fabric and without restricting movement.

To aid thermal comfort a mesh panel runs down the centre back to allow this warm area maximum breathability.

The CyTech Giro chamois (padded insert) is the mid-level protection giving comfort in the saddle for full half day session. The dual density foam, with anatomical 3D shape spreads the load onto your saddle helping to minimise pressure points. The smooth contact fabric face uses CyTech’s patented ‘Elastic Interface’ fabric, which is designed to endure continual, flex and stress without causing chafing. A great choice for those who ride want to ride 60miles before lunch on a fresh winters day!

Leg openings have elasticated hems with clear silicone grippers. This helps to ensure that the leg stays in place and does not ride upwards.

Reflective dhb logos on the garment help to improve your road visibility when riding in reduced light conditions.
