Following months of testing on gravel, open road, dirt and through the grit, MAAP has revealed its new Alt_Road collection. The Australian cycling apparel specialist aims to showcase ‘performance products done sustainably for riders who want to take a turn off the ordinary, onto whatever.’
This Melbourne based brand’s new collection highlights jerseys made with NATURALMATCH wool technology, an exclusive development in partnership with Miti Spa in Bergamo, Italy.
Utilising a blend of natural and high performance synthetic fibres, this soft to touch, renewable fibre source, extra-fine merino wool provides temperature regulation. Combined with anti-microbial and anti-odour properties, the material can perform in extreme conditions for multi-day rides even with repeated use.
Featuring partnerships with Polartec® and Apidura, in the Alt_Road collection functional cargo bib shorts serve as the base for off-road escapes with odour resistant tees that offer next-to-skin moisture management and 50% recycled PET fibre content. There are also thermoregulating vests and windproof thermal jackets set against a colour palette inspired by ‘nature’s earthy tones’.
“Alt_Road is a natural evolution for us as a brand,” said Ollie Cousins, MAAP Co-Founder. “The days are gone where riders are loyal to one discipline. The product reflects the needs of our athletes and riders around the world, engineered to perform at an elite level, whatever the road surface
