MAAP Race Fit or Core Fit — what’s the difference?

They are MAAP’s two fits. Race Fit: “A body-mapped fit designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency.” Core Fit: “A streamlined, athletic profile, perfect for high-output riding.” MAAP uses the same size chart for both, so the difference is the feel, not the size.

How should I wash MAAP cycling clothing?

MAAP’s care instructions for its apparel: machine wash cold; don’t bleach, tumble dry, iron, dry clean or soak, and don’t use fabric softener. The garment label is the final reference.

Q: How do MAAP sizes work?

MAAP sizes by body measurements — chest and waist for tops, waist and hip for bottoms — in the size guide on this page. If you’re between two sizes, MAAP suggests the smaller one for a tighter fit or the larger one for a looser fit; if your chest and waist point to different sizes, follow the one MAAP’s guide indicates for that garment.
