This base layer uses a circular knit construction method. This means that the body can be knitted in a single tube. The circular knit process also allows for changes to be made to the structure and yarn composition of the knit at different areas of the base layer, without having to sew in different panels. The result is a closer, more comfortable next-to-skin fit and feel.
When exercising, different parts of the body react in different ways in order to regulate heat and maintain performance. dhb have delved into the research studies that look into this, and used their findings to create a base layer that works with your body. By mapping the areas where the body perspires most, they have adapted the knit on specific parts of the base layer. In the areas you sweat the most, they’ve used a ‘Tuck Knit’. By creating a 3D structure, this raises the surface of the material in these areas, holding it away from the skin, and encouraging higher rates of moisture transfer.
A micro rib knit structure has been applied around the lower torso. This applies some light compression in this area, keeping the base layer close to the body and adding a little support.
This Aeron base layer uses a Polyproylene and Polyamide yarn blend. Polypropylene is an amazing yarn for technical sports products where wicking is a priority. It has a very low density and is therefore super lightweight, but extremely durable. It’s also hydrophobic, so it will carry moisture away quickly. To finish this product off, dhb have added an antibacterial treatment to help reduce odour causing bacteria.
dhb Performance garments are designed for keen road cyclists. Garments are intended to be close fitting, and are optimized for the road cycling position. Use of performance stretch fabrics enables a close fit without compromising freedom of movement.
dhb work with Alvanon - the leading company in the field of body measurement data collection. By conducting thousands of 3D body scans, on a target demographic, Alvanon are able to accurately manufacture mannequins to precise dimensions which represent the average body shape for that chosen demographic. dhb believe that by working with this qualified partner who has the biggest database of body measurements in the world, that we have the best chance of making sure our customers are satisfied by our fit and sizing philosophy.
