Melbourne, Australia-based cycling apparel brand MAAP has announced its latest road collection, with a selection of new products alongside fresh graphic capsules.
The range lands in time for MAAP’s Equinox Experience, with the company noting that…. ‘Twice a year the world is in balance, with ’12 hours of light’ stretching across both hemispheres, creating the opportunity to test the limits and transition well into a new season together.
‘This edition, taking place in the week of the September Equinox, September 16-22, riders will be challenged to get out and chase the light for 12-hours with rides hosted at MAAP LaBs, MAAP wholesale partners and MAAP ambassadors around the world.
‘Cyclists the world over will be able to take part in rides near them or go solo as we join this solar cycle as one – it’s time to chase the light.’
The latest high-performance road collection from MAAP sees the debut of the new Flow series of jackets and vests. This is a range of lightweight, packable windproof layers for the changeable conditions so often found in the approaching shoulder seasons.
Flow Jackets and Vests feature windblocking materials on the front and rear with air permeable side panels and a laser cut perforated rear panel for breathability – designed with a fabric that features inbuilt mechanical stretch and an articulated cut for a close yet unrestrictive fit.
The new Flow Jacket and Vest range also features a thermal version constructed with a lightweight Teijin Octa insulation that offers warming properties… ‘at a fraction of the weight and thickness of regular fleece-like fabrics, resulting in a versatile garment that remains highly packable.’
Also new from this latest collection are the Team Bib Evo Cargo Thermal and thermal Toe Covers. Two much requested alterations, the first being the addition of cargo pockets on a MAAP thermal bib: elasticated side pockets allowing riders to pack more and ride further. Toe Covers top-up these thermal upgrade options, for when chill conditions are setting-in but a full overshoe is not yet required.
The latest season of MAAP’s high-performance road collection also sees the introduction of new graphic capsules. Evade X is a reinterpretation of MAAP’s signature, best-selling Evade range, featuring bold, neon logos which contrast with cool natural jersey tones.
To complete the collection, a host of new seasonal colours can be found across MAAP’s range of Evade jerseys, Team Bib Evo Cargo Bibs, Atmos jackets and vests and also the brand’s Training Collection.
