dhb Aeron Equinox Bib Shorts

Equinox: for the rides between summer and winter.

The Spring and Autumn Equinoxes mark the midpoints between the summer and winter seasons. Both are times where, with the right kit, there’s great riding to be had.

dhb Equinox is kit that makes the difference on those rides between the highs of summer and the lows of winter. Combined with the right accompaniments, the dhb Aeron Equinox Bib Shorts are your perfect companion from when the temperature starts to dip, right through to when winter really takes hold. These are the shorts that let you carry on riding without pantyhose for as long as possible. Tested in all types of conditions and terrain, they are so versatile and you’ll find yourself wearing them more often than you might expect.

Fabric combinations for additional warmth

The dhb Aeron Equinox bib shorts use 3 different performance fabrics to create a versatile short that works across seasons.

The inseam and seat panel of these shorts are made from a durable fabric from leading Italian fabric mill MITI. The perfect balance between compression and breathability, this fabric works with you on long days in the saddle to keep you comfortable, when other fabrics might start to let you down.

Using a combination of three performance fabrics from MITI gives you a stretchy, compressive fit for better muscle support, recovery time and comfort when in action. The inner thigh fabric provides excellent moisture transfer, drawing sweat away from the rider towards the outer surface of the fabric. The benefits – you stay more comfortable for longer and your body wastes less energy trying to cool itself down.

The added warmth comes from a tight-knit, wind resistant fabric with warm brushed back. This is used in the areas that you need it most- over the quads and across the lower back. This added protection helps to ensure you stay warm in changeable conditions, but don’t overheat.

Finally, the bib straps use a lightweight, breathable mesh. These allow you to layer up or down with different base layers, depending on the warmth or protection you need.

New Elastic Interface® Paris HP Chamois

The most important part of a short is the pad. These Equinox bib shorts share the same pad as the best-selling dhb Aeorn bib shorts.  The new Paris HP is the latest development from Elastic Interface®, the Italian experts whose unparalleled knowledge and experience go into making the best chamois in cycling.

The Paris HP Pad features ultra-high density foam inserts under the sit bones to ensure a comfortable ride all day long. Rated for rides over 7 hours in length, three separate densities of foam have been used to ensure comfort, while also reducing the overall bulk of the pad.
