Looking for some new bibtights when the weather gets a bit colder, has anyone any experience of the dhb vaeon reflex bibtights? The reflective appeals as they will get a lot of use commuting through the winter.
what is the sizing like, how durable are the reflctive bits, how optimistic are the temp guidelines.
not the reflex ones, but I used the Vaeon Roubaix bib tights last winter and thought they were very good. Sub zero mtb rides in the snow, with a pair of baggies on top and they were toasty. I also bought the sub zero ? ones, wiht the windproof panels - wore then once on a longish windy road ride with air temp around 3 degress and they were spot on

Same here, very impressed, I commuted all through last winter, lowest temp on morning was around minus 8.
My 'extreme' winter outfit is:
Buff around my neck,
Gore phantom jacket
Aldi winter jersey/light jacket thing
Merino baselayer
Padded dhb 3/4 tights
unpadded DHB vaeon roubaix tight
Specialized defroster winter boots
and was never too cold.
edit: for sizing just follow the chart, or order two and send back the one you don't want using Collect+

Yep, padded Roubaix 3/4s all through last winter here.
My experience of the size was that it was a bit on the small side. I should have been Large by their charts (honest!), but the Extra Large was a much better fit.
