dhb Aeron Rain Defence arm warmers review

A shower proof offering with room for improvement, the dhb Aeron Rain Defence arm warmers were put to the test in a range of conditions

Cycling Weekly Verdict

A good first incarnation of dhb's rain defence range that will see you right in the Autumn and Spring. With plenty of room for improvement from a brand that is constantly bettering its offering, I expect the second generation dhb Aeron Rain Defence arm warmers to be even better

Reasons to buy
  • +

    Fair level of water resistance

  • +

    Keep you warm even when wet

Reasons to avoid
  • -

    They can bunch up around the elbow

  • -

    The breathability/waterproofing balance could be better

The dhb Aeron Rain Defence arm warmers form part of a range that includes jersey, shorts, leg-warmers and knee-warmers.

Despite them all being billed as ‘rain defence’ and seemingly made from the same materials, the performance varies quite a lot between garments.
