dhb Classic Roubaix lange fietsbroek met bretels

Wiggle's in-house clothing brand, Dhb, brings fantastic value to its Classic Roubaix bib tights, teamed with top performance. I could stop the review here, because that's all you really need to know. At £55 these bib tights are knocking around the bottom rungs of the cost ladder, but punch way above their weight for comfort, warmth, chamois quality and fit...Designed to improve on the old Vaeon Roubaix bib tights...It's extremely comfortable, flexible and warm easily capable of dealing with temperatures close to freezing...Windproofing is also very good, and with the high-rise zip facilitating greater coverage of the midriff (in practice, it rises right up to my sternum when on the bike), body heat retention is one of the tights' strong points...The 14% elastane content lends itself to a great anatomical fit ? they stay tight to the skin but aren't difficult to put on or restrictive to move about in...the length is well considered ? sitting slightly on the long side to ensure enough length for tall riders, and maximum coverage for shorter ones. That said, I recommend you stick to your usual sizing if you want a pair...The Elastic Interface Giro Air pad is, frankly, excellent for the cost. It isn't the best quality Cytech pad I've ever encountered ? my bottom has met plusher types ? but after rides of 80-90km with this between me and my bike's saddle I have to say I'm impressed....Other features worthy of note include good quality zips at the ankles, just in case you want a little extra ventilation or have particularly large feet to fit through the silicone cuffed holes, and comfortable shoulder straps that don't cut in at all, teamed with a mesh back to aid breathability...Build quality also gets a big thumbs-up, which in a pair of tights of this price I wasn't expecting...The seams are well constructed too. They're tough and durable, yet have also remained soft like the rest of the tights. This means you get no rubbing or chafing, and barely notice there are any seams at all when actually out riding...for all this quality with minimal downsides, these tights are an absolute steal. They'll see you through near-freezing temperatures in comfort and warmth, and I daresay will last into winters to come as well. Highly recommended.

Simply put: one of the best value and best performing pairs of bib tights available.
