DHB Jerseys
dhb cycling jerseys have become a fixture in UK riding for a straightforward reason: they get the fundamentals right without asking you to remortgage for the privilege. Whether you're pinning on a number at a local crit, loading up a gravel bike for a multi-day bikepacking loop, or just chasing the café before the rain rolls in, there's a dhb jersey cut for it. The range spans ultra-lightweight summer tops with open-mesh panels built for breathability on humid climbs, through to thermal long-sleeve options lined with Roubaix fleece that takes the edge off single-digit morning starts. It's a genuinely broad offering. At one end you've got the relaxed-fit Classic range for everyday miles, alongside the expressive Blok designs for riders who want their kit to do the talking. At the other end sits the race-focused Aeron and flagship Aeron Lab tiers, where aerodynamic fit and premium fabrics move to the front of the conversation. Throw in a dedicated merino line using MAPP Merino wool for natural thermoregulation, and the dhb range covers more ground than most brands at this price point. Use the filters above to match your riding style, season, and fit preference.

Fabric Tech & Weather Performance
dhb put real thought into their fabric choices, and it shows when the weather does what UK weather does. Summer jerseys in the range lean on open-mesh constructions that pull moisture away fast - useful when you're grinding up a humid Welsh valley climb and the air isn't moving. The moisture-wicking treatment keeps fabric from clinging, which matters more than it sounds when you're an hour into a ride and the gradient bites back.
Come autumn and winter, the picture shifts to Roubaix fleece lining. It's a brushed-back fabric that traps a thin layer of warm air against your skin without adding bulk - think of it as a vest and jersey rolled into one. A dhb winter jersey with Roubaix lining pairs well with a packable gilet and you're sorted for most of what November throws at you. No need to overcomplicate it.
The merino options sit in their own category. dhb uses MAPP Merino wool - a naturally thermoregulating fibre that adjusts to your output rather than fighting it. It breathes when you're working hard and retains warmth when you ease off, which makes a dhb merino cycling jersey genuinely useful across a wider temperature range than a standard synthetic. The natural antibacterial properties are a practical bonus on multi-day trips where kit has to work harder between washes. Across the board, YKK zippers and silicone hem grippers are standard - small details that stop the jersey riding up on longer efforts.
Understanding the dhb Fit & Range
The dhb range is tiered clearly once you know what you're looking at, and understanding the hierarchy saves you buying the wrong thing. The Classic jersey is the entry point: a relaxed club fit, true to UK sizing, with durable moisture-wicking fabric and enough pocket space for a full cache of gels and a rain jacket. It's the jersey you reach for on a club run or a long endurance day when comfort matters more than marginal aerodynamic gains. Nobody's judging.
The Blok range shares that same relaxed cut but swaps understated colourways for bold, graphic-heavy designs. Same fit, different statement. If you want kit that stands out on the start line of a sportive, Blok is where dhb lets loose.
Step up to the Aeron and the dynamic changes. This is a performance-focused, closer-cut jersey with an aerodynamic fit that holds its shape at speed - what dhb call their Aeron aerodynamic mapping, which positions panels and seams to reduce drag and move with the rider rather than against them. Laser-cut sleeve edges remove bulk at the wrist. It's noticeably more compressive than the Classic, so if you're between sizes, go up. Compared to something like a Castelli jersey at a similar performance tier, the Aeron holds its own on fit and function while coming in at a more accessible price point.
The Aeron Lab is the top of the tree - a second-skin race fit using the lightest fabrics in the dhb stable. It's built for riders who want as close to a pro-level jersey as possible without the pro-level price tag. If you're racing or chasing Strava segments on Surrey Hills climbs, this is the one. For the dhb long sleeve jersey equivalent, the same Aeron and Classic tiers carry through into long-sleeve options, so your layering strategy stays consistent across the range. Brands like Altura and Assos offer alternatives at either end of the market, but dhb's range depth is hard to match at this price.
If you're after casual off-bike styles or something for commuting rather than riding, dhb's T-Shirts & Shirts category is worth a look - the jerseys here are purpose-built for time in the saddle.
Layering & Care for UK Riding
A dhb jersey rarely works in isolation, particularly from March through to October when the forecast changes its mind before you've finished your pre-ride coffee. The move that works best for UK spring and autumn riding is pairing a lightweight dhb jersey - Classic or Aeron depending on your pace - with a set of arm warmers and a packable gilet stuffed into your back pocket. You can add or shed layers on the move without stopping, which keeps your rhythm intact on longer days out in the Peak District or on exposed Scottish coastal routes. Team the jersey with dhb bib shorts for a matched kit that's been designed to work together, and consider a dhb jacket as the outer shell when conditions properly deteriorate.
On care: wash at 30 degrees, non-bio detergent, and skip the fabric softener entirely. Softener coats the fibres and clogs the moisture-wicking treatment - after a few washes the jersey stops moving sweat as efficiently and you'll notice it on longer efforts. Air dry rather than tumble dry. The silicone hem gripper loses its grip faster with repeated heat cycles, and the elastane content in the fabric degrades quicker too. It takes an extra hour of drying time but the jersey will last considerably longer. For merino options, this is especially important - merino is resilient but it doesn't forgive a hot wash.
DHB Jerseys FAQs
How do dhb jerseys fit compared to other brands?
The Classic range fits true to size with a relaxed, comfortable cut that matches standard UK sizing well - no surprises there. The Aeron and Aeron Lab are a different story: both use a compressive, aerodynamic race fit, so it's worth sizing up if you prefer a bit more room across the chest or shoulders.
What is the difference between dhb Aeron and Classic jerseys?
The Classic is built around everyday comfort - slightly looser fit, durable moisture-wicking fabrics, and straightforward practicality for club runs and endurance days. The Aeron is a performance jersey with a second-skin aerodynamic fit, lightweight materials, and laser-cut sleeves designed to reduce drag at speed. They serve genuinely different riders.
Are dhb merino jerseys good for summer riding?
Yes, and it's not as counterintuitive as it sounds. Lightweight MAPP Merino wool breathes well, naturally regulates body temperature as your effort changes, and resists odour without chemical treatments - which makes it particularly useful for back-to-back days on a bikepacking route where washing kit isn't always an option.
