Apex Aeon Thermal or Halo Team Thermal: which is warmer?

By MAAP's own ranges, the Apex Aeon Thermal LS is the one for real cold: rated 0–10 °C, with a brushed fleece lining and a DWR coating MAAP rates for road spray. The Halo Team Thermal LS is rated 6–16 °C, in Italian brushed interlock fleece with a concealed zip and three pockets plus a zipped stash: a cool-weather jersey for autumn and mild winter days. Both are Core Fit.

How does MAAP sizing run? Should I size up for a Race Fit jersey?

MAAP uses one men's chart for all its jerseys: chest 94–100 cm is an M, for example (see the size guide). Race Fit jerseys are cut close and compressive, so they feel tighter than a Core Fit jersey in the same size, but MAAP does not tell you to size up. Its advice: between two sizes, take the smaller for a tighter fit or the larger for a looser one, and if chest and waist disagree, go by your chest.

What is the difference between MAAP Race Fit and Core Fit?

MAAP defines Race Fit as "a body-mapped fit designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency" (Pro Air 3.0, Pro Race, Pro Aero, Emerge) and Core Fit as "a streamlined, athletic profile" (Training 2.0, Apex Aeon, Alt_Road, thermals). Both are close to the body; Race Fit is the tighter, more compressive one that stays flat at speed, Core Fit leaves a little more room for long days. Both use the same size chart.

MAAP: if you are on the borderline between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your chest and waist point to different sizes, go by your chest. MAAP uses this one chart for all its men's jerseys, Race Fit and Core Fit alike; its models (about 187 cm) wear a size S.

How to measure

Chest: around the fullest part, under the arms. Waist: around your natural waistline. Hips: around the fullest part. Keep the tape snug but not tight.

Description

A cool-weather team-style thermal for autumn and mild winter days: Italian brushed interlock fleece, 220 g by MAAP's figure and rated for 6–16 °C. Core Fit, with a bonded hem and rear gripper, refined cuffs for heat retention, a concealed front zip and three pockets plus a zipped stash. MAAP lists no water-repellent treatment, so it is not for rain, and for near-freezing days the Apex Aeon Thermal is rated colder.
