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.

Emerge Jersey or Pro Air Jersey 3.0?

Both are Race Fit. The Emerge (150 g) is the soft, compressive one in an Italian recycled nylon knit, rated by MAAP for 18–35 °C, so it works from spring to summer. The Pro Air 3.0 (110 g) is the lightest and most ventilated, rated for 22–40 °C and "Elite" for breathability: the better choice when it is properly hot.

Emerge Jersey or Evade Pro Base Jersey 2.0?

They are close relatives. MAAP lists the same fabric mix for both (70% recycled nylon/polyamide with 30% elastane in the Italian knit body, honeycomb mesh sleeves), the same internal zip pocket and reflective details. The Emerge adds what MAAP calls an upgraded bonded shoulder construction and is rated Race Fit; the Evade Pro Base 2.0 is listed as Core Fit on its product data, though its own card describes a Race Fit silhouette.

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.

Race Fit

MAAP’s Race Fit: in MAAP’s words, “a body-mapped fit designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency”. It is the tighter, more compressive of MAAP’s two fits and stays flat at speed; both fits use the same size chart.

Italian recycled knit

An ultra-soft, recycled knitted Italian fabric across the main body; MAAP pairs comfort and performance with its sustainability goals.

Honeycomb mesh sleeves

Recycled honeycomb mesh sleeves that MAAP says give optimal shape, structure and breathability.

Race Fit, low collar

A compressive, second-skin Race Fit with a low-profile collar. MAAP defines Race Fit as a body-mapped fit designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency.

Bonded shoulders

An upgraded bonded shoulder construction reduces bulk for a streamlined profile from the hoods to the drops, according to MAAP.

Internal zip pocket

Extra storage in a sleek, secure, low-profile internal rear zip pocket.

Reflective details

Reflective print transfers and tabs for extra visibility in low light, MAAP says.

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 soft, compressive Race Fit jersey for hard riding from spring to summer: an Italian recycled nylon knit body with honeycomb mesh sleeves, 150 g by MAAP's figure and rated for 18–35 °C. MAAP gives it bonded shoulders and an internal zip pocket. It fits like a second skin, so riders who want a looser, everyday cut are better served by the Training Jersey 2.0 or Apex Aeon.
