Top Features of the dhb Vaeon Roubaix Long Sleeve Jersey
For the rider who wants a form fitting winter jersey, made from premium Italian Roubaix fabric and a clean aesthetic synonymous to the dhb brand.
- Mens
- Road
Astute riders notice immediately that this garment is made from the same performance Italian Roubaix Lycra fabric as the dhb winter legwear range. The 235g Lombardia fabric has a 15 percent elastane content which gives the nylon durable compression and a form fit. Hand feel is excellent; silky-soft brushed Nylon fibres trap air next to the skin for warmth without compromising breathability.
The close cut removes idle pockets of space to give a fast aesthetic and aerodynamic feel. The sleeves are designed to be long enough even in an extreme riding position with arms crooked. The tail and elastic gripper are long enough to stick to the butt to add warmth to the lower back region. The front is cut shorter but not so extreme that the wearer feels uncovered in a more relaxed upright posture.
Reflective detailing on the outside arms and back as well as 3M reflective logo prints help to add a flash of visibility in poorer light conditions.
A full-length YKK zip gives robust access and allows climate control on hard efforts. To keep all riding essentials in order the jersey features 3 drop-pockets with elasticated hem and an additional secure hanging zip pocket
for any items, which require piece of mind confinement.
This VAEON Roubaix jersey can be worn with the VAEON Roubaix legwear series to provide a winter outfit ideal for longer rides at medium to high intensities suitable to general UK winter conditions. Layer up with a merino base layer to further increase the warmth.
About Long Sleeve Cycling Jerseys
Long sleeve jerseys are ideal to be worn as part of a layering system, or just worn as an outer layer over a base layer. Manufacturers make a range of different long sleeve jerseys, from lightweight materials for summer use to tops that feature wind stopping fabrics on the chest, or thicker winter fleecy lined tops which can almost be described as jackets which will provide a good level of warmth. We stock long sleeve Jerseys from manufacturers such as Assos, Briko, Campagnolo, dhb, Endura, Gore, Northwave and Pearl Izumi. There are various thicknesses of jersey available within this category, we list them with three distinct thicknesses, these give an indication of the time of year they are best suited too. Lightweight are ideal for summer evenings to take the chill off, medium thickness jerseys are great for cooler days in the spring and autumn months whilst the thickest jerseys are suitable for spring, autumn or winter months. Long sleeve jerseys also benefit from other features, such as zip lengths for venting and a range of pockets to keep food, spares or even a water proof shell in, most will also feature reflective detailing for safety.

Magazine reviews for dhb Vaeon Roubaix Long Sleeve Jersey
Review from road.cc
Cold-weather cycling clothing is now a necessity, and dhb's Vaeon Roubaix Long Sleeve jersey is a fine insulated top for autumn and early winter with a good fit and decent price.
It's made from the same 235g Lombardia Roubaix Lycra as used in the Vaeon Roubaix Bib tights. A mid-weight fabric, it isn't too bulky and fits closely next to the body and works well in the current temperatures. Paired with a short sleeve base layer it's good for harder training rides, or worn with a long sleeve base layer is good for steady tempo rides.
The jersey's hard-working fabric copes well in a range of temperatures making it a good number for year-round use and all but the coldest winter days. I can see it doubling up equally well in the spring. It lacks wind resistance in the front panels, but this is easily solved by slipping a windproof gilet on over the top, increasing the workable range of the top well into the winter.
dhb clothing tends to fit well and the Vaeon is no exception. The medium I tested fitted almost perfectly. It's close-fitting but not so snug that you have to breathe in to do up the full-length zip, and there's comfortably space for a long sleeve base layer underneath. It's not quite perfect though - the waistline is my only gripe. Even though the hem is lined with silicone gripper tape, the waist sags too much when you put a spare tube, pump, phone, house keys and some cash into the rear pockets. Once on the bike and crouched over it's not that bad, but I'd like to see the fit in this area improved to match the fit in the rest of the jersey.
You get three pockets out back in which to carry tools and food for a ride. The middle one is a bit taller and easily takes a mini-pump, while the other two are slightly angled for easier access. Atop the middle pocket is a smaller zipped pocket that is good for stashing car/house keys/cake shop money. They're generously sized for carrying enough essentials for a ride of any length.
Visibility is a key concern for many at this time of year and the Vaeon has reflective detailing around the outside of the arms and out back, as well as 3M reflective logos. While not reflective, the areas of white also help to break up what is otherwise an overly black jersey - boosting visibility in low light conditions.
dhb's Roubaix jersey is one of those tops that most cyclists really should have in their kit bag. Worn with either a short or long sleeve base layer, depending on preference or riding speed, and with a lightweight shell or gilet tucked in one of the rear pockets, you're well prepared for most weather conditions in the autumn.
As we approach the wetter season you only need to add a waterproof hardshell over the top to give full protection when the weather gets nasty. And to top it all the dhb is a very attractive price. You can spend more, but you really don't need to.
In conclusion...
A wise investment for any cyclist hoping to ride through the year and at this price is a steal.

Collapse AllWould this be suitable for a "regular" autumn day?(wind and light rain)
Or would the dhb Windslam Soft Shell Jacket be a better fit for the cold, windy and rainy autumn days?
Answers
I wear it on days it is anywhere between 3 and 13 degrees and just vary between a long or short undershirt.
Hope that helps.

If you want more protection against the wind check out the Windslam Blade jersey with windproof membrane in the front and outer arm panels. The Windslam Blade has a form fit racing aesthetic. Try the Windslam Roubaix for the same protection but with a looser fit.
If you need a garment which provides maximum protection against the cold and the wind - go for the Windslam Soft shell. The entire garment is made from soft shell which is a 3 layer fabric. The middle layer is a windproof membrane, which dramatically increases warmth.
Hi is this product windproof? What is the difference between this product and the Windslam Roubaix?
Answers
Long Sleeve Windslam Jersey (lightweight)
Windslam Blade Long sleeve Jersey (mid-heavy weight, Elastane so - form fit)
Long Sleeve Windslam Roubaix Jersey (heavy weight, polyester so not as form fitting as above)
Answers
I have a ladies size 10 and the DHB 10 fits very well, I wear this one a lot and find it keeps me warm but not overheating especially doing interval rides.
Hope that helps.
